The sun blazed over Tropical Soda Island as Mango Cookie balanced a woven basket of golden pineapples and ripe mangoes on his head. “Don’t spill the offerings, Mango Cookie!” Mapulehu Cookie, a slightly older villager, called, chasing after him while juggling two coconuts.

“Relax, I’ve got it!” Mango Cookie grinned, hopping over a Ba-Dum Ray on the water. Today, he was delivering fruits to the Golden Dragon’s shrine—a daily ritual to keep the giant dragon happy and, of course, to show their grattitude to them.
