~Mushroom Kingdom~
Jeremy: So, this is what the Mushroom Kingdom really looks like.
Jolene: It looks much... bigger, compared to what we saw in the games.
Mario: Can't be a kingdom if it isn't this big.
*A couple of Toadstools collect some coins, only for one of them to roll away*
Luigi: I got it! *Grabs it and gives it back* Here you go.
Toadstool: Thank you.
Mario: *Looking around* Let's see. It should be... *Spots a platform with arrows pointing up* Ah. Here we are. *He and the others step on*
SpongeBob: So, what's this for?
Luigi: It's an elevator of sorts. Watch.
*The platform goes up*
Tony: *Laughing* This is gonna be fun!
~Upper Level~
*The team disembarks the platform, runs onto another one, and jumps onto a third*
Jeremy: *Panicked breathing*
*The platform stops and they disembark*
Mario: *Brings everyone to a bridge of floating blocks* Okay. Tread carefully on this one.
*They do so... with Jeremy looking down below*
~Pipe Entrances~
Luigi: Just pop into his pipe and we're on our way to the castle.
Mario: It's the only way to fly. *Hops in and travels through the pipe* Yahoo!
Luigi: It took us some time to travel through them without... smacking ourselves against the walls, but you'll get used to it before you even know it. *Hops in and travels through the pipe* Haha!
Jeremy: Okay. Let's try this again. 3... 2... 1...
Patrick: Go! *Shoves everyone into the pipes*
Steven: Wait! Patrick!
*They all go flying through the pipe*
~Different Spot~
*They all emerge*
Mario: Okay. Now, the trickiest part of the journey: Finding the pipe that directly leads to the castle.
Jeremy: *Approaches a pipe* Let's try this one. *Enters... but emerges back at the start* Nope.
SpongeBob: *Approaches a pipe* Maybe, it's this one. *Enters... but emerges back at the start* Negative.
Jolene: *Approaches a pipe* This one? *Enters... but emerges back at the start* Nada.
Sandy: *Approaches a pipe* Let's try this one. *Enters... but emerges back at the start* Negatory.
Mario: Well, to be brutally honest, this is the one part of the highway that we still have trouble with.
Tony: Where's a good place to get an Item Block when you need one?
{Later}
~Toadstool Castle~
*A familiar figure paces around, waiting for the Mario Brothers to return*
Toadstool 2: *Approaches her* Are you okay, Princess Peach?
