The Legend of Pi'illo Island is a novel written by Pi'illoper of what happened to the Pi'illo race when they were temporarily wiped out. It is arguable whether his novel details the history of the island truthfully, but throughout Wakeport, Mario and Luigi can find extracts of each of his volumes in various houses' bookcases. They are written below, with details of where to find each extract. | The Legend of Pi'illo Island is a novel written by Pi'illoper of what happened to the Pi'illo race when they were temporarily wiped out.

''The portal to the dream world closed on Antasma, and the Pi'illos seemed the victors at last. But the Dark Stone had fragmented, and now the nightmare chunks fell from the sky, shimmering in the darkness. The soft bodies of the Pi'illos began hardening into stone, and one by one they collasped onto the grass. Before long, neither victors nor the fallen stood on the field of battle. Only silence remained. | ''The portal to the dream world closed on Antasma, and the Pi'illos seemed the victors at last.

Who knows how much time has passed since that dark day? None know, but know this last: When all movement on the plain had ceased, a single rabbit appeared. It bounced like a stone in the surf and then seemed to find a Pi'illo it knew among the fallen many. Then, as if to protect the Pi'illo, the rabbit lay against the stone, closed its eyes, and slept. From then on, nothing marked the passage of time on the island but the silence of the stone Pi'illos.'' | Who knows how much time has passed since that dark day?

''Buh huh huh huh huh! Oh hello, loyal reader! It is I, Pi'illoper, your humble author and bed lover, wrecking the fourth wall to add a word! As my imaginary friends know, I have always had a great passion for the noble Pi'illos, and it led me to self-publish these little screeds! Some might call it fan fiction... I snort at that! How much fan fiction has TEN volumes? Huh? Not many, I'd bet. Did you read them all? Buh huh huh! Not to toot my own horn here, but who'd imagine I could write a masterpiece with such a dearth of historical materials? Which reminds me, my imaginary lawyers advise me to assert that this work is not affliated with Pi'illo Castle or any official Pi'illo anything! All this humble author hopes is that you might read these and gain a greater appreciation for the Pi'illo folk, be these tales real or imagined!'' | |||
