If I had my plumbing tools, I'd rig-up some handrails and hold on to them all the way to the top. But I guess I'll just have to do the next best thing: go slowly, and take one step at a time." | ||

But look—there are lots of other enemies pursuing Mario, as well! How many can you find? (Certainly some Green [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa Troopas]], a few [[Blooper|Bloopers]], and some Green [[Koopa Paratroopa|Koopa Paratroopas]].) The enemies don't know it yet, but Mario is only a decoy: it's [[Luigi]], who's escaping from the Mushroom Kingdom with [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]. Hurray for Mario and Luigi! | ||

There's [[Larry Koopa|Larry]] (the youngest), [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]] (the grouch), [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy O.]] (the only female), [[Iggy Koopa|Iggy]] (who's fast, but not too tough), [[Roy Koopa|Roy]] (who's big and burly), [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]] (the clown prince), and [[Ludwig von Koopa]] (second in command, and a real monster). Hey, Luigi! Princess Toadstool is on the boat! You'll have to rescue her next time! | ||

|align="left"| | |align="left"|To the delight of the Mushroom People, Mario defeats the Koopa foes and rescues Princess Toadstool. A simple plumber, Mario was working in Brooklyn one day when he heard a distant voice echoing up from the pipes. It was the Princess Toadstool, imprisoned by evil King Koopa Bowser. Mario knew he could not stand by while such injustice reigned, so he leaped down the nearest manhole, was whisked to the Mushroom Kingdom, and began the work of rescuing the Princess. | ||
