Deep in the forests of Dinosaur Land, you spot some blood near a bunch of bushes. Upon investigating, you are met with Mario, except he looks weird and he's eating a Koopa, the corpses of many enemies are scattered around the place and you decide it's best to leave before you get caught. Suddenly, he picks up your scent and notices you. Hello... You're just in time for the last course, care to join me? Doesn't seem like he wants to eat you, you're not an enemy... yet...
