When Mario gets home and starts working on his family's homemade pasta, he finds the Shyguy mask in his shopping bag and puts it out of the way. Toad comes in to ask Mario how he is doing making the pasta sauce, and Mario keeps his stirring spoon behind his back so as not to reveal the secret ingredient to Toad. However, he does not notice the sticky juice dripping off his spoon and on to the mask behind him. After Toad leaves, Mario goes back to making the pasta sauce and gets some of it on his face. Grabbing the nearby towel that he put the Shyguy mask on to, Mario tries to clean the sauce off of his face and ends up getting the Shyguy mask stuck to his face. Struggling to get it off, Mario calls Toad back in for help, but Toad mistakes him for a Shyguy trying to steal Mario's secret sauce and kicks him out of his own house. | When Mario gets home and starts working on his family's homemade pasta, he finds the Shyguy mask in his shopping bag and puts it out of the way.

Summary[edit]
The Mushroom Kingdom is preparing for its annual Man of the Year ceremony, and Mario is the odds-on favorite to win. Toad says that he is making the pasta for the potluck dinner, but Mario volunteers to do it, saying he will make his family's famous homemade pasta sauce. With that, Toad lends him his Koopamart Kredit card. Mario heads off to the Koopamart, stomping on bunches of Shyguys on the way. Once at the Koopamart, he passes out pins to the Mushrooms shopping there while picking up the ingredients for his pasta sauce, including the secret ingredient - C. Mentum's Famous Sticky Juice. Just then, a young Mushroom named Elliot asks him to get him a Shyguy mask from a rack he cannot reach. Mario does so, but after he walks away, Elliot's mother tosses the mask away and it lands in Mario's shopping cart right as he is heading to the checkout line.
When Mario gets home and starts working on his family's homemade pasta, he finds the Shyguy mask in his shopping bag and puts it out of the way. Toad comes in to ask Mario how he is doing making the pasta sauce, and Mario keeps his stirring spoon behind his back so as not to reveal the secret ingredient to Toad. However, he does not notice the sticky juice dripping off his spoon and on to the mask behind him. After Toad leaves, Mario goes back to making the pasta sauce and gets some of it on his face. Grabbing the nearby towel that he put the Shyguy mask on to, Mario tries to clean the sauce off of his face and ends up getting the Shyguy mask stuck to his face. Struggling to get it off, Mario calls Toad back in for help, but Toad mistakes him for a Shyguy trying to steal Mario's secret sauce and kicks him out of his own house.
Later, Mario makes his way through World 1 of Subcon, heading for the Man of the Year ceremony, because he knows that Luigi, who has an antidote for the sticky juice, is probably already there. In the process, he encounters several Shyguys, a Hoopster, and a Birdo who are friendly to him because they think he is a fellow Shyguy. In conversing with the 8 bits, Mario learns from Birdo that Bowser, his competition for Man of the Year, has been stuffing the ballot boxes with votes for himself.
