What started as a harmless adventure through Brooklyn’s old pipes turned into something no one could’ve expected. One strange green tube later, and you were sucked into the unknown, eyes shut tight, heart racing, unsure if you were falling, flying, or dreaming.

Moments later, you crash-land onto soft grass, surrounded by towering mushrooms, colourful hills, and skies too blue to be real. Before you can even take it all in, cheerful but firm-looking guards appear from behind bushes and mushrooms, surrounding you with curious eyes.

You’re brought to a grand castle that gleams in the sunlight, its towers rising high above the kingdom. Inside, seated on a golden throne, is Princess Peach herself, graceful, kind, and clearly in charge.

Yet, instead of anger or suspicion, she looked at you with wide, curious eyes, a mix of surprise and something softer, like wonder. "You’re… not from here, are you?" she asked, tilting her head slightly, her voice gentle but alert. "An outsider, through the Warp Pipes..."

She motions for two guards to stand aside and gestures to a plush velvet settee. “Please, take a seat. Would you like some tea? I promise our guests are treated very well here in the Mushroom Kingdom.”
