Plot synopsis

Mario and Yoshi violating Brooklyn's new speed limit

At the beginning of the comic, Mario can be seen brushing his teeth in his bathroom while listening to the radio. The newscaster reports that there is a new speed limit in Brooklyn, allowing only a maximum speed of 80 dp (dinosaur power) when one rides a dinosaur. Annoyed by this new law, Mario takes his Cape and flies out the window in order to get to the "Dino Minister." Mario lands on Yoshi, telling him of the new limit and commanding him to dash. Yoshi is doubtful about doing so since Mario just told him about a speed limit. Nevertheless, he follows Mario's instructions. On their way, they see the Blue Falcon just behind them, when being stopped by Luigi in a police suit. Incredulously, Mario claims not to have been faster than 80 dp and asks why Luigi is dressed like a policeman. Luigi replies that he wishes to be called "Officer Luigi" and that Mario was going at least 100 dp. Annoyed, Mario spin-jumps, complaining about nothing being allowed anymore. Luigi tells him that even the Spin Jump is prohibited between one and three PM, finally demanding 60 coins from him. Mario falls to the ground and wonders whether he is at least allowed to say goodbye to this "silly story." Yoshi tries to comfort him by saying that, no matter how fast they are, turtles are slower.
