The '''Visionary Jewel from the Country of Treasure''' is a necklace belonging to [[Princess Peach|Peach]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]''. Though it is seen rarely, it plays a rather large role in its only appearance's plot.

Peach was wearing the Visionary Jewel from the Country of Treasure from the start of ''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!'', and she would appear to have dropped it during [[Mario]]'s unsuccessful battle with the [[Koopa Troop]] (during which she was kidnapped by [[Bowser]]), as  Mario soon afterward found it on the floor of [[Mario's House|his home]]. Prior to the time he found the pendant, he had been mocked by [[Luigi]] for his recounting of the wild past events and he himself was beginning to think that he may have dreamed them rather than actually experienced them, but the Visionary Jewel from the Country of Treasure served as confirmation that the past happenings had indeed happened. Its existence and ability to remind Mario of Princess Peach also seemed to mesmerize him, as he was focused on it and seemingly unable to successfully fulfill [[Miss Endless]]'s grocery orders the following day. During this escapade at [[Mario Bros. Grocery]], Luigi (who was depicted in the anime as very greedy) first noticed Mario's possession of the Visionary Jewel, soon identifying it and believing it to be very valuable. Much to both the brothers' dismay, [[Prince Haru|Kibidango]] soon showed up, engaging in a brawl with Mario and running out of the store with the Visionary Jewel from the Country of Treasure in tow. The Mario Bros. gave chase to the dog creature, eventually retrieving the Visionary Jewel and stumbling upon the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. By the end of the film, the Visionary Jewel from the Country of Treasure was returned to Princess Peach, and it also lifted the last of Bowser's curses over her kingdom: Shortly after Peach put the necklace on, a beam of light from it turned Kibidango (who had previously been cursed by the Koopas and turned into a [[dog]]) back into Prince Haru, prince of the [[List of Implied Locations#Flower Kingdom|Flower Kingdom]] and Peach's fiancé.
After Peach briefly escapes from [[Koopa Troop|the Koopa]] via [[Mario]]'s television, she seemingly dropped her Brooch during his unsuccessful battle with [[Bowser]]. After coming downstairs to investigate the racket, [[Luigi]] jadedly dismissed the Mario's claims as a result of his brother playing too many video games. Alone, Mario soon afterward spots it on the floor of [[Mario Bros.' House|their home]], confirming to himself that the experience was not a mere dream. Its existence and power to remind Mario of Princess Peach also seemed to mesmerize him, as he was too focused on it to successfully fulfill [[Miss Endless]]'s shopping orders the following day. During this escapade at the [[Grocery]], Luigi (who was depicted in the anime as particularly greedy) noticed Mario's possession of the Brooch, eagerly identifying it as a mystical gem passed down in [[Toad (species)|Toad]] legend that guides the holder to a land of treasure.


The Visionary Jewel from the Country of Treasure seems to be ''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> answer to a gem featured on Princess Peach's dress in almost all (if not all) the games she is featured in. As such, it can be said that the Visionary Jewel appears (albeit unnamed) in ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' games, though the Visionary Jewel from the Country of Treasure has several differences from the in-game gem it would seem to be based on. The name "Visionary Jewel from the Country of Treasure" may not be the necklace's actual name, as the scene in which it is noticed and named by Luigi includes much comic relief, and its naming may have simply been part of this and not meant to be taken at face value.

History[edit]

Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen![edit]

In this interpretation of the storyline of Super Mario Bros., the Brooch (as Peach calls it during the ending) plays a rather large role.

After Peach briefly escapes from the Koopa via Mario's television, she seemingly dropped her Brooch during his unsuccessful battle with Bowser. After coming downstairs to investigate the racket, Luigi jadedly dismissed the Mario's claims as a result of his brother playing too many video games. Alone, Mario soon afterward spots it on the floor of their home, confirming to himself that the experience was not a mere dream. Its existence and power to remind Mario of Princess Peach also seemed to mesmerize him, as he was too focused on it to successfully fulfill Miss Endless's shopping orders the following day. During this escapade at the Grocery, Luigi (who was depicted in the anime as particularly greedy) noticed Mario's possession of the Brooch, eagerly identifying it as a mystical gem passed down in Toad legend that guides the holder to a land of treasure.

Mario decides to pick up the phone to call directory assistance, and a voice on the other end instantly says that he will fetch Mario. Much to both the brothers' dismay, a strange dog-like creature named "Kibidango" soon showed up instead, engaging in a scuffle with Mario and running out of the store with the Brooch in tow. The Mario Bros. gave chase to the dog, eventually retrieving the Brooch after they stumble upon the Mushroom Kingdom. The voice on the other end of the telephone reveals himself as Kinoko Sennin, who tasks the brothers with the great mission to rescue Princess Peach. By the end of the film, the Brooch was returned to Princess Peach, and Peach comments that it was very important to her since she has owned it ever since she was born. According to legend, the prince who has the other Brooch will make a wonderful pair. Shortly after Peach put it back on, it reacted to Kibidango (who had previously been cursed by the Koopa and turned into a dog) and transformed him back into Haru - a prince of Flower-koku who holds the gem's counterpart around his neck, making him Peach's fiancé of sorts.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]

During the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, the Brooch is acknowledged during the attempted marriage of Princess Peach and Booster. When Bowser and Mario burst through the Marrymore wedding chapel, Booster's three Snifsters are knocked into Peach, who slowly realizes she has dropped her Shoes, Ring, Brooch and Crown. Upset, she then cries hysterically and does not respond to anyone. Three of the items (including the Brooch) are recovered by each of the Snifsters, but the Crown is still missing. Mario must take each accessory from them and find the Crown to stop her tears and make her come to her senses; doing so in a speedy time results in the best outcome of the princess kissing her hero.
