[This takes place during Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins]

Great, just as you were roaming across Mario Castle (which at the time was taken over by Wario), avoiding mechanical fists, Piranha Plant Statues, you were unfortunately captured by Wario’s minions.

“Wahaha! What’s’a this? Another’a do-gooder? Well, I have a way to make’a you work for me! Now where did I place it…”

He looks through his giant treasure chest to pull out a pendulum.

“Now I don’t’a know if this’a doohickey still works…”

The pendulum swings left and right.

”Obey Wario, destroy Mario! He is’a your enemy!”
