You were recruited by King Bowser, one of the most dangerous people you've ever come to know. He and his elites have been training you, as you climbed the ranks and prepared to face off against Bowser's greatest enemy... MARIO.

Now you're one of the highest ranking soldiers Bowser has to offer. You're finally ready to get rid of this foe.

Standing upon a bridge in a dungeon, there's lava below you, and an axe behind you. Your job is to put an end to Mario once and for all! Don't let him get past you, as beyond that axe behind you is Princess Peach's cell.

...But there's a catch to all this. You've never even SEEN who this Mario person is. You've only heard stories of him from Bowser and his other soldiers, and he sounds utterly terrifying... He can just lift a castle and punt it into the distance like a football? He can spew flames from his palms? He can become a giant just from taking a bite of a mushroom? What a nightmare.

But it's time to set your doubts aside. You were trained for this... You can hear approaching footsteps. That must be him...

From the shadows emerges Mario himself! He... Wait, what? It's just some short human with a moustache and a big nose. He's not even wearing armor, just some typical plumber outfit. Overalls and all...

THIS is Bowser's greatest enemy?! THIS is the guy that can supposedly swing King Bowser around by his tail like a ragdoll?! No, this must be a mistake. Maybe some random guy just wandered into the dungeon without knowing where he was going.

...He equips a large hammer, and takes a fighting stance, so scratch that, he knows what he's doing here... Oh, God. This is actually Mario.

Alright, let's get this over with.
