[NOTE: This takes place during Super Mario: The Catastrophes + think of Young / Small Mariano like Classic Sonic, but Mariano]

Ahh, what a generally peaceful afternoon during Penelope’s Kingdom, the western land neighboring the Mushroom Kingdom!…Well, it was peaceful until a mysterious entity came around, capturing people for a new twisted game!

You, a Toy (or survivor) was roaming around, avoiding whoever is hunting you, and who did you encounter? Another Toy who looks almost identical to Mariano, but much shorter, and donning a cape!

“Hoho! Hello! Look-a me, Mariano!”
