==Plot synopsis==
=== Plot ===
[[File:Issunboshi Mama Mario.jpg|thumb|left|[[Mama Mario|Mama]] and [[Mario]]]]
In this fairy tale, there was a house in the scene; when suddenly a shooting star appeared in the sky and it flew down. When it flew down, Mario was born in that particular house as it glowed for a moment. Mario was a baby but was very small, as he was smaller than a hand.
In this fairy tale, a shooting star gives a couple the child they had wished for, Mario, but he is only an inch tall. As the child grows older, he becomes adventurous and after climbing a tree and catching a glimpse of a city past the mountains, he becomes determined to travel there. Concerned for his safety, his [[Mama Mario|Mama]] and [[Papa Mario|Papa]] say "no" at first, but eventually Papa realizes that it would be doing more harm to keep Mario sheltered forever. He fashions Mario a tiny sword out of a sewing needle, turns a bowl into a boat with small rocket engines, and makes an oar out of a chopstick for Mario to steer it with. He then brings the boat to the river and bids his son farewell as Mario sets sail, singing as he goes.
When Mario was old enough; he wanted to travel independently during his life. He convinced [[Mr. Mario]] and [[Mrs. Mario]] that he was old enough to travel independently despite of his tiny self. When they are convinced; Mr. Mario gave Mario a weapon that is the same size as Mario for protection. The weapon is actually some type of pin. Mr. Mario then built a raft made from a pot, some switches and an engine, also a paddle for Mario to use. When Mario was ready; Mr. Mario brings the raft containing Mario onto the river where Mario would start traveling independently.


Mario sees a [[Spiny Cheep Cheep|Spiny Cheep-Cheep]] jumping out of the water, a flock of [[Para-Beetle]]s, and even a [[Blooper Nanny|Bloober]] with [[Blooper Baby|kids]] flying with its brood. At one point, a [[Dry Bones]] rises under Mario, but he uses the rockets to fly his boat off its back and get back onto the water, taking a detour through its eye socket along the way, before it clatters apart and sinks back under the river. Later, Mario is caught in a storm caused by a [[Lakitu]], who laughs as her cloud sends rain and lightning down upon him, struggling against the choppy water until a particularly large wave finally sinks his boat.
During the traveling on the water, Mario encounters a [[Spiny Cheep-Cheep]] that jumped out from the water, a group of [[Parabeetle]]s flying forward, and a [[Blooper Nanny]] in the sky. Mario was widely amazed of seeing them. At that time, Mario was relaxing while the raft forward when suddenly, something happens at the bottom of the raft. The bottom of the raft reveals a [[Dry Bones]] that pops out calmly from the water. Mario uses the engines to move the raft; the rocket engines blast moving forward and popping out from one of the Dry Bones' eyes. After that, the Dry Bones returns to the water.

Mario then finds rain that has recently fallen from the sky. But it wasn't rain, it was the [[Lakitu]] with his [[Lakitu's Cloud|cloud]] causing the rain. Additionally, the Lakitu's cloud also can throw thunderstorms making Mario hard to travel. Mario raft could not survive the water's waves. The raft tilted; then a big wave knocked Mario and his raft. He suddenly fainted.
When Mario opens his eyes, he finds himself in a tiny bed on a bench in the city, with [[Princess Peach]] watching over him. She introduces herself and explains that she had been taking a walk after the storm when she spotted him washed up on shore, unconscious, having floated down the river all the way to the city. He thanks her for saving him and tells her that he had come to the city to learn new things, and having grown fond of the cute, tiny Mario, Peach tells him that he should stay there with her, which Mario is happy to hear.


From then on, the two are always together, with Mario riding on Peach's shoulder as she walks around town. But when she hears heavy, crashing footsteps, Peach screams and tries to flee, only to find herself face-to-face with [[Bowser]]. He is in love with her and demands an answer to his (latest) proposal, but she tells him that she would never marry someone like him. Turning red with anger, Bowser prepares to use force to get what he wanted, but Mario jumps off Peach's shoulder and brandishes his sword at the villain. Bowser laughs at the tiny boy's challenge and tries to step on him, but Mario nimbly dodges every stomp.
When Mario opened his eyes, he sees Princess Peach looking at Mario directly. Mario then looked around; he was confused about what happened. Peach mentioned that when she was walking around town, she suddenly sees Mario fainted from the waves; so she picked him up with her hands and took him home. Both Mario and Princess Peach introduced each other, as they became friends.

Despite Mario's best efforts, Bowser soon manages to snatch him up with his claws and swallows him whole, as Peach watches in horror. Bowser then returns to harassing Peach, but just as he announces his intent to kidnap her, he is brought up short by intense belly pains caused by Mario jumping around his stomach and stabbing him from the inside out with his sword. Peach realizes what's happening as Koopa collapses at her feet and coughs up Mario. He regains consciousness with Mario still perched on his face, but Mario quickly cuts off his horns and eyebrows with three strokes of his sword, causing the Bowser to run away in humiliation while the humans laugh. Peach thanks Mario for defeating Bowser, and then notices a magic wish-granting [[hammer]] he had dropped as he fled, which she uses to grant Mario's wish to become a full-sized young man. The two then get into a hovercraft and fly back to Mario's home to continue their lives together.
