[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are traveling through [[Cramalot]] while searching for [[Mervin]] the magician, whom the Princess believes can free her kingdom from [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s tyranny. While traveling, Mario suddenly hears some bee-like buzzing, which leads him to believe a beehive and thus, bees, are nearby. Mario and Toad start thinking about food until the latter notices that unfortunately, it turns out that the buzzing is not being caused by bees; instead, it is being caused by a nearby swarm of [[Beezo]]s, who are preparing to attack. | [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are traveling through [[Cramalot]] while searching for [[Mervin]] the magician, whom the Princess believes can free her kingdom from [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s tyranny.
