In the [[Amazon Jungle]], [[Mario]], using a plunger to swat his way through a variety of flora, leads [[Luigi]], [[Toad]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] in their search for [[Dr. Sheldon]], a mysterious witch doctor. After swatting through a large wall of bamboo, Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool find themselves in a large clearing, with Mario inquiring if he can stop and take a lunch break. After Princess Toadstool reprimands Mario, saying he's already eaten three guavas, four breadfruit and two bananas, Luigi asks why they are searching for Sheldon anyways. Toad and Princess Toadstool respond to Luigi's question by saying that Sheldon is the best witch doctor there is and that he may be powerful enough to create a potion that will remove [[Bowser|King Koopa]] from Princess Toadstool's [[Mushroom Kingdom|kingdom]]. | In the [[Amazon Jungle]], [[Mario]], using a plunger to swat his way through a variety of flora, leads [[Luigi]], [[Toad]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] in their search for [[Dr. Sheldon]], a mysterious witch doctor.

Down in the Amazon Forest, King Koopa, who is being carried by his Shyguy henchmen and being guarded by several [[Birdo]], begins to gloat about his evil plan. As King Koopa continues to gloat, he is interrupted by a Shyguy, who points-out Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool, who are riding the Albatoss overhead.

The Albatoss, blinded, begins to plummet to the ground and crashes into several trees, throwing Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool off its back. Princess Toadstool, having been knocked unconscious by the crash, wakes-up to find Mario, Luigi and Toad scratching themselves crazily, being almost unable to move due to King Koopa's Koopa Strength Itching Powder. | ||
Elsewhere, in a tree-top village, several tribal [[Toad (species)|Mushrooms]] are in the midst of crowding around a large hut atop a tree. Suddenly, a man wearing a large, wooden mask leaps from the treehouse and begins to dance as a nearby native named [[Butterfingers (character)|Butterfingers]] sets down several stools. Eventually finishing his dance, the man removes his mask, revealing himself to be Sheldon; giving his mask to Butterfingers, Sheldon calls forward a nearby, yellow-capped Mushroom native. | Elsewhere, in a tree-top village, several tribal [[Toad (species)|Mushrooms]] are in the midst of crowding around a large hut atop a tree.
