Super Mario-kun Volume 6

This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

Super Mario-kun Volume 6 is the sixth volume of the manga series. It concludes the Super Mario World story arc, with sparse elements from Super Mario Kart and Super Mario Bros. 2.

The first six chapters, much like in the previous volume, take place before the events of volume 4, since Peach is still being held hostage by Bowser in his still standing castle. After chapter 6, the events of the Super Mario Bros. 2 story arc take place, but those are narrated in volume 8. From chapter 7 onwards, the events take place after the ending of volume 4, with Peach just being rescued from the Valley of Bowser only for her to be kidnapped again and being taken to the Special Zone.

The last chapter is an anticipation of the next story arc, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.

Just like in the last volume, this volume contains no 4-komas.

Stage One

大怪獣決闘！？　ヨッシーＶＳバトラハナチャン！！ (Great Monster Duel!? Yoshi VS Battler Wiggler!!)

Bowser and Kamek, ached and hurt by a past duel with Mario, find themselves waiting for him in the Forest of Illusion, where Kamek explains that they'll destroy him with the help of the kidnapped Wiggler. When Mario, Luigi and Yoshi arrive, Bowser and Kamek, hidden in some bushes, remove Wiggler's flower from her head and quickly replace it with a Muncher, creating a Butra Hanachan, an evil Wiggler with a prickly body. Bowser unleashes the Butra Hanachan on Mario.

Mario gets bit by Butra Hanachan, while Yoshi gets trapped in silk spit by her. Luigi notices the Muncher and tells Mario to remove it to turn her back to normal, but the Muncher bites Mario's hand. Butra Hanachan, then, cocoons herself and reborn as a giant moth that spits electric rays. Mario and Luigi jumps behind Yoshi's silk ball and the Butra Hanachan destroys the ball and Yoshi with one of her ray.

After collecting Yoshi's pieces, Mario gets an idea. While Bowser is yelling at Butra Hanachan for accidentally making some rocks fall on him, Mario defeats a bunch of enemies and Luigi grabs two eggshells. Mario puts enemies and Yoshi's remains between the two eggshells and close them, creating Star Yoshi. With a giant monster on their side, Mario's party is ready for a fair fight.

Even though Yoshi continues to take hits, he wins by destroying Butra Hanachan's wings and then tears the Muncher from her head, turning her into a normal (and flowerless) Wiggler. Furious, Wiggler chases Bowser and Kamek, while Star Yoshi is rewarded with some back massages and a big enemy feast.

Stage Two

スフィンクス出現！？　地蔵マリオで謎を解け！！ (Sphinx Appears!? Solve the Mystery, Statue Mario!!)

Mario has just defeated Lemmy and the Hae Yoshi and, after having fun with the Koopaling's Mario Paint copy, him and his friends continue to explore the castle, where Bowser just place a new trap: the Sphinx Zō. The giant Sphinx blocks Mario's party's path and gives them a riddle to solve, otherwise they'll suffer the consequences. The riddle is a simple "find the intruder": who's out of place between a lion, a panda, an octopus and an elderly woman? Everyone, logically, point to the woman, but they fail: since the woman is called Suzuki Kuma ("Kuma" means "Bear") that makes her a land animal, so the octopus was the intruder.

The Sphinx punishes the party: Luigi is turned into stone, when Mario's turn arrives, he manages to grab a Tanooki Suit and turns into Statue Mario, avoiding the punishment, but now he can revert from the statue form (Yoshi, meanwhile, is spared since the stone spell doesn't work on "stupid kids"). Mario asks the Sphinx if there's a chance to make it withdraw the stone spell, and the Sphinx says that if they manage to walk through a hall full of Bowser Statues, then it'll consider it.

Mario and Yoshi enter the hall, since Luigi can't move, but Mario can hop. Thanks to his stone body, Mario passes through the flames of the statues. They then come across a statue with multiple arms, armed with many weapons, but they notice that it's just a row of two-armed statues hidden one behind the others. With a domino effect, the statues topple over and Mario and Yoshi finally exit the room, but the Sphinx doesn't keep its promise: since Luigi didn't go with them, they failed.

Angry, Mario attacks the Sphinx by tossing his staff at it, but the Sphinx grabs it. Then, the Sphinx flies above Mario and crushes him. Then, with its Spinner tail, hits the Mario Bros., making Mario's head fall from his body. Yoshi launches Mario's head to the Sphinx, but it hits him back. Mario, then, grabs a block with his teeth and jumps towards the Sphinx, who eats him. Ready to finish Luigi and Yoshi too, the Sphinx explodes: inside the block that Mario hit inside the beast's belly, a vine sprouts out and burst out from the Sphinx, destroying it.

The Koopa Troopas, who's been watching the fight from some cameras, are worried and try to inform Bowser, but he's busy playing Super Mario Kart. Meanwhile, Yoshi creates an elephant statue with the pieces of the Sphinx.
