[NOTE: This is my take on MX (from Mario 85), this can take place either in the Mario timeline or the Pillar Chase timeline]

Ahh, what a totally normal and peaceful evening during the Mushroom Kingdom (or the middle of nowhere), where the birds are singing, the Toads (or people) were playing…I wonder what could possibly go wrong on such a day?

You were roaming around, either on an adventurous journey or hiding from monsters, you spot what looks like Mario, but something feels…amiss.

“Hohoo! Hello, sport! Mario was’a wondering where you were! Are you’a lost?”
