Entering the apartment, Luigi mentions that he can't wait until the foreign exchange student they're going to be hosting arrives, who Mario mentions, is very smart. Asking how Mario knows that, Luigi gets the answer that the student sent his luggage ahead of him and motions towards a nearby, wooden box. | ||
Seeing the rather fancy looking box, Luigi asks Mario when it arrived, to which Mario responds that it got to the apartment before Luigi awoke that morning. Inspecting the box, Luigi finds a note on it, which reads that the box is from [[Wikipedia:Transylvania|Transylvania]] and to open as soon as possible, as it is "stuffy in here". Surprised by this note, Luigi tells Mario that the exchange student, [[Count Zoltan Dracula]], must be inside the box. | Seeing the rather fancy looking box, Luigi asks Mario when it arrived, to which Mario responds that it got to the apartment before Luigi awoke that morning.

Mario, unsurprised, simply dismisses Luigi's remark, though he does say it's odd how Count Zoltan sleeps all day, only for Luigi to counter that so does Mario, unless an [[Inspector Gadget]] marathon is on. After saying this, Luigi, grabbing one of Count Zoltan's shirts, notices several red stains on it. Ignoring this, Luigi begins to look at all the bills they've received and sees that hosting Count Zoltan is costing them a fortune, with him constantly buying dental floss, eyewash and, oddly, blood from a blood bank. | ||
Putting these bills away, Luigi hears a singing Count Zoltan approaching. It is only when he and Mario see the silhouette of a bat on a window do Luigi and Mario realize, to their horror, that Count Zoltan is a bloodsucking vampire. | Putting these bills away, Luigi hears a singing Count Zoltan approaching.
