Wart steht unter Strom

Wart Steht Unter Strom (English translation: Wart is tensed up) is the name of a 2-page comic published in the 5/1991 issue of the German Club Nintendo magazine.

Plot Synopsis

The cartoon features Wart (who, despite the name, is obviously Bowser) playing an unknown Game Boy game outside. Seemingly he is just about to finish the game when the of his Game Boy batteries expire. Annoyed, he throws them away, right in front of Mario's shoes, who appears in this moment. He takes Wart to task and reminds him that batteries are not to be thrown away but to be disposed of in containers. This makes Wart even angrier, resulting in a fight between the two of them. Wart, however, soon gets electrified by his batteries which makes Princess Peach, who was brought by Mario, sneer at him. In the end, Mario's advice is to use a Battery Set in order to protect the environment. The still flashing Wart replies that he is just about to get one.

Trivia

• The Game Boy game Wart is playing does not really exist since it seems to feature himself as the protagonist, as seen in one picture.
• The comic's name is ambiguous, as it can either mean "Wart is tensed up" or "Wart is electrified".
