[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] | {{more images|section=yes|At least one or two screenshots}} | ||
[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] have traveled to [[Winterland]] during the winter season to visit Princess Toadstool's sick [[Gramma Toadstool|grandmother]]. To deal with the cold weather, Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool are wearing earmuffs, a scarf and a red cloak with a hood respectively. However, Mario remarks that [[Bowser|King Koopa]] has his own agenda, which will supposedly provide problems for them down the road. | |||
The group soon arrives at a nearby village in the woods, where Princess Toadstool locates the cottage of [[Pine]] the woodcutter. She then comments that her grandmother's cottage is not much further past the village. Despite Princess Toadstool's eagerness to continue, Mario points out that they need to head indoors to warm up by a fire, since the cold air may freeze them. Arriving at Pine's cottage, nobody answers the door after Princess Toadstool knocks on it. Discovering that the door is unlocked, the group enters and discovers that Pine and his family have been encased in shells of ice. Princess Toadstool tells Mario to build a fire, but Mario realizes that there is no firewood available. Toad then grabs an axe and runs outside, hoping to chop some wood himself. | The group soon arrives at a nearby village in the woods, where Princess Toadstool locates the cottage of [[Pine]] the woodcutter.

Upon running outside, Mario's group is approached by King Koopa and two [[Koopa Troopa]]s, all of whom are riding on snowmobiles. After King Koopa rudely greets Mario's group with delight, Princess Toadstool asks him if he was the one who froze Pine's family. Without answering Princess Toadstool's question, King Koopa pulls out a [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]] and tosses it onto the roof of Pine's cottage. Upon blowing up the roof, the snow that was on it piles on top of Mario's group, trapping them. With his enemies trapped, King Koopa announces to his Koopa Troopas that they have more wood to steal and more [[Toad (species)|Mushrooms]] to freeze, before they ride off on their snowmobiles. | Upon running outside, Mario's group is approached by King Koopa and two [[Koopa Troopa]]s, all of whom are riding on snowmobiles.

After the [[ | After the [[Koopa Troop|Koopa]]s leave, Toad pops out of the snowbank and mentions that since he did not freeze up, he will rescue his friends. Eventually, Toad manages to start a fire inside the cottage and succeeds in unfreezing his friends, along with Pine's family. Able to speak again, Pine explains that King Koopa stole all the villagers' wood, which they needed in order to keep warm. King Koopa's larceny reminds Princess Toadstool about her grandmother's safety, and she sets out to visit her. Mario, Luigi and Toad try to join Princess Toadstool, but she instead tells them to stay behind so that they can chop more wood and thaw out the rest of the villagers. Toad warns Princess Toadstool that the woods are unsafe, as the [[big bad wolf]] lives there. Not afraid of any big bad wolf, Princess Toadstool leaves the cottage. | ||
After passing through the village, Princess Toadstool remarks that she needs to gather some wood for her grandmother before she freezes, and gathers several fallen sticks into her picnic basket. As Princess Toadstool continues through the woods, she is unaware of the fact that she is being spied on through a telescope by the big bad wolf. The big bad wolf notes that "Little Red Riding Princess" is on her way to grandmother's house, and intends to beat her there in his plan to eat her. | After passing through the village, Princess Toadstool remarks that she needs to gather some wood for her grandmother before she freezes, and gathers several fallen sticks into her picnic basket.

Meanwhile, King Koopa spots Princess Toadstool walking through the woods, and is upset that she has been defrosted. However, a Koopa Troopa reports to him that Princess Toadstool is alone, without anyone to protect her.

At Gramma's house, Gramma is cooking some soup over the fireplace, when the kindling suddenly burns out. With no fire to keep warm, Gramma starts shivering, and asks herself about what she will do when she runs out of wood. After removing the soup pot from the fireplace, Gramma is distracted by a knock on her heavily locked front door. Gramma asks who it is, and King Koopa answers that it's "Opportunity knocking". Gramma comments that she does not know anyone named Opportunity, and proceeds to unlock the door, while King Koopa pretends to be a good fellow. Upon opening the door, Gramma sees King Koopa, who has dressed up as a messenger and presents her with a telegram. Reading the telegram, Gramma discovers that she has won a year's supply of wood, and merely has to go to town to claim it. King Koopa pressures Gramma into leaving, but she tells him that an elderly woman like herself cannot walk to town in the cold. King Koopa responds by lending her his snowmobile, which she surprisingly knows how to drive, and drives off with. | |||

After Gramma drives off, the big bad wolf reaches her cottage, nearly out of breath. He then sneaks into the cottage through a window, only to discover King Koopa, who is now wearing Gramma's nightgown and is pretending to be asleep in her bed. King Koopa and the big bad wolf startle themselves, and ask each other as to what they are doing at Gramma's house. When they both learn that they are both setting a trap for Princess Toadstool, they snarl at each other, until King Koopa orders several Koopa Troopas to enter the cottage, tie up the big bad wolf, and get rid of him. As the Koopa Troopas carry off the big bad wolf, he tells King Koopa that he is making a big mistake, but King Koopa disregards his comment and climbs back into the bed. | After Gramma drives off, the big bad wolf reaches her cottage, nearly out of breath.

In the village, Gramma has arrived at Pine's cottage, where she is explaining to Pine that her telegram says that she won a year's supply of wood. When Pine tells Gramma that they barely have any wood at all, she asks herself as to who would pull a prank like that on someone like her. Mario, Luigi and Toad then return with some more wood, and answer that King Koopa would, just to lure Gramma out of her cottage. Gramma then realizes that it was so that King Koopa could capture her granddaughter. Mario tells Gramma to stay behind, while they head to her cottage on her snowmobile. | In the village, Gramma has arrived at Pine's cottage, where she is explaining to Pine that her telegram says that she won a year's supply of wood.

Back at the cottage, King Koopa is still chasing Princess Toadstool around a table, and points out that their chase is going nowhere. Princess Toadstool asks King Koopa if he is giving up, to which he answers that a Koopa does not give up, and instead calls for reinforcements. As King Koopa shouts out the window for a Koopa Pack attack, Princess Toadstool uses the opportunity to escape from the cottage. King Koopa chases her, but she slams the gate in his face to buy herself some time as she runs into the woods. | Back at the cottage, King Koopa is still chasing Princess Toadstool around a table, and points out that their chase is going nowhere.

Deep inside the cave, King Koopa has Princess Toadstool and Gramma tied up together in a lair where he has stashed all the stolen firewood. As King Koopa sits down on his throne, a wolf taps his shoulder and growls at him. Several more wolves approach King Koopa, who scare him into giving up his two captives to them, before he retreats out of the cave. Mario then reveals to Princess Toadstool and Gramma that the wolves were merely costumes that he, Luigi and Toad wore to scare King Koopa, and they proceed to take them off and untie the girls.

Princess Toadstool then tells the Wolf that he is not such a big bad wolf after all. The Wolf states that while he is still big and bad, he does not like having King Koopa invading his territory. Before leaving, the big bad wolf tells Princess Toadstool to ditch her red hood, as it is not safe to wear in the woods. | ||
Later, in the village, the wood has been returned to Pine's cottage, where all the villagers have gone to replenish their supplies. Pine then thanks Mario's group for recovering the stolen wood, stating that it should last the villagers through to the end of winter. Gramma then tells Princess Toadstool that while she enjoyed having her visit, that next time, she should come and visit her instead. Everyone laughs, and Princess Toadstool responds by giving Gramma a kiss. | Later, in the village, the wood has been returned to Pine's cottage, where all the villagers have gone to replenish their supplies.
