Super Mario: Mario im Wunderland: Difference between revisions

'''Super Mario: Mario im Wunderland''' (English translation: ''[[Mario|Super Mario]]: Mario in [[Wonderland]]'') is the name of a 4-page comic published in the 3/1993 issue of the German [[Club Nintendo]] magazine.

In this comic, Mario actually serves as a [[plumber]]. A woman calls him, claiming that her flat turned into an aquarium. Putting on his [[Cape]] and riding [[Yoshi]], Mario sallies to the woman. When he enters her house (Yoshi stays outside), a flood of water comes towards him. Inside, he meets the woman wearing a bathrobe and floating on a small raft. After a short conversation, Mario immerses, trying to find the main valve. However, a whirl catches him and takes him to a different place, directly to a forest road, where a [[Green Shell|green-shelled]] [[Koopa Troopa]] can be seen. Moreover, Mario's appearance has drastically changed, making him look like a girl with plaits and a dress. Mario is confused and wants to get back home, but in this moment a speaking tree, most likely [[Whispy Woods]], tells him to go to the wizard if he wants to get his wish fulfilled. The signpost, however, confuses Mario even more. He does not even realize that he is standing on [[Toad]], a character he does not know yet. Toad tells Mario that he was about to visit the wizard as well (his wish is to be larger), so they move on together. They see a pink ball behind a tree and reckon it as a pillow. However, it turns out to be [[Kirby]] who angrily explains that he would like to look like [[Mega Man]]. Next, the three of them notice eyes in a bush. This turns out to be a green [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] (obviously it is not the same Yoshi which stayed outside the woman's house). Complaining about his green color, Yoshi joins the group.

==Trivia==

*Although the comic is called "Mario im Wunderland" (which translates to "Mario in Wonderland"), it is much more like "The Wizard of Oz" than "Alice in Wonderland". Even the clothes Mario wears are closer to the clothes worn by Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz than Alice's.

*The text of the comic has been rewritten for a rerelease. In this version, everything the characters say (except for Mario's text) is written in rhymes, which drives Mario crazy.
