Plot of Issunboshi

In this fairy tale, there was a house in the scene; when suddenly a shooting star appeared in the sky and it flew down. When it flew down, Mario was born in that particular house as it glowed for a moment. Mario was a baby but was very small, as he was smaller than a hand. During his youth, Mario drink the largest bottle he seen; started eating pieces of food, and quickly eating some bread that is larger than him.

When Mario was old enough; he wanted to travel independently during his life. He convinced Mr. Mario and Mrs. Mario that he was old enough to travel independently despite of his tiny self. When they are convinced; Mr. Mario gave Mario a weapon that is the same size as Mario for protection. The weapon is actually some type of pin. Mr. Mario then built some type of raft made from a pot, some switches and an engine for Mario to use; additionally, Mario received a paddle basically made from some wood. When Mario was ready; Mr. Mario brings the raft containing Mario onto the river where Mario would start traveling independently.

During the traveling on the water, Mario encounters a Spiny Cheep-Cheep that simply jumped out from the water, a group of Parabeetles flying forward, and a Blooper Nanny in the sky. Mario was widely amazed of seeing them. At that time, Mario was relaxing while the raft forward when suddenly something happens at the bottom of the raft. The bottom of the raft reveals a Dry Bones that pop out calmly from the water. Mario uses the engines to move the raft; the rocket engines blast moving forward and popping out from one of the Dry Bones' eyes. After that, the Dry Bones returns to the water.

Mario then finds rain that has recently fallen from the sky. But it wasn't rain, it was the Lakitu with his cloud causing the rain. Additionally, the Lakitu's cloud also can throw thunderstorms making Mario hard to travel. The Lakitu was making trouble as Mario cannot survive the water's waves. The raft tilted; then the big wave knocked Mario and his raft. He suddenly fainted.

When Mario opened his eyes, he sees Princess Peach looking at Mario directly. Mario looked around; he was confused about what happened. Peach mentioned that when she was walking around town, she suddenly sees Mario fainted from the waves; so she picked him up with her hands and took him home. Both Mario and Princess Peach introduced each other, as they became friends.

Peach and Mario came outside into town, all of its surroundings were wonderful until they hear stomps. Mario and Princess Peach were surprised that it is Bowser; who stomped loudly. Bowser harassed Princess Peach; making both Mario and Princess Peach angry. Mario decided to take action to defeat Bowser. When Bowser hears that Mario will defeat Bowser; he laughs that Mario was too small to fight Bowser. Mario was being serious; but Bowser continued to laugh at his little size despite of having his weapon out. Bowser then attacks by simply stomping on Mario; but Mario quickly dodges. Princess Peach is concerned about the battle as Mario was so little while Bowser is huge. Finally, Bowser picked up the little Mario with his claws. Mario repeatedly squirmed around, trying to get himself free. Bowser ate Mario and was sent to his stomach as Mario screamed falling down.

Bowser now can continue to harass Princess Peach, but Bowser suddenly got a feeling from his stomach. In Bowser's stomach, Mario was repeatedly poking his stomach with his weapon in different spots; causing Bowser to suffer the pain from his stomach. Princess Peach realized Mario is fighting inside his stomach. Mario continued to poke his stomach until Bowser was collapsed down to the floor. Bowser coughs out Mario from his stomach; he appears on his face.

Princess Peach was relieved that Mario is still alive, but Princess Peach suddenly noticed Bowser regains conciseness after that pain in the stomach. Bowser was underestimated by the little guy. Mario quickly put into action as he cut off his horns. Bowser realized that Mario cut off his horns as Mario and Princess Peach laughed at his cut off horns. Bowser runs away, humiliated by his cut off horns. Princess Peach thanked Mario for defeating Bowser in a humiliating way; when suddenly they saw a Magic Mallet that is dropped by Bowser. Princess Peach picked it up and used this item to grow into its normal size. Mario and Peach was glad that Mario has his size now as they get in Peach’s hovercraft to explore around the city.
