In [[Sudden Death Valley]], [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] are delivering a trunk stuffed with [[Coin|Gold Coins]] to the Wild Western Frontier of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] in an [[Ostro]]-drawn stagecoach, which Mario is driving. Mario states that the citizens of [[Mushridge]] had all their [[Coin|Gold Coins]] stolen by the outlaw [[Bowser|Billy the Koopa]], implying that their delivery is to compensate for town's loss. As the stagecoach drives over a bump, several coins fall out of the chest, which Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad manage to catch by each sticking an arm out of a window. Luigi tells Mario to take it easy, while Princess Toadstool reminds him that they need to deliver the coins to the people of Mushroom Ridge so that they can afford to buy food. Mario acknowledges Princess Toadstool's statement, claiming that he's driving the stagecoach as fast as he can. | In [[Sudden Death Valley]], [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] are delivering a trunk stuffed with [[Coin|Gold Coins]] to the Wild Western Frontier of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] in an [[Ostro]]-drawn stagecoach, which Mario is driving.

Before Toad can point out where Billy the Koopa went, Billy the Koopa announces that he's fleeing with the gold coins and jumps onto his Ostro, wearing a pouch that's holding the coins. As Billy the Koopa rides off, Mario heads after him on his Ostro. After chasing Billy the Koopa through Sudden Death Valley for a little while, Mario eventually catches up with him. He then pulls out his plumber's snake and uses it to lasso Billy the Koopa's pouch away from him, knocking the Koopa King off of his Ostro in the process. Now angered, Billy the Koopa's Ostro proceeds to run off, dragging Billy the Koopa with him, since Billy never let go of the reins. Mario then points out that he doesn't have time to round up Billy the Koopa, as he needs to rescue his friends and return the stolen gold to the people of Mushridge. | Before Toad can point out where Billy the Koopa went, Billy the Koopa announces that he's fleeing with the gold coins and jumps onto his Ostro, wearing a pouch that's holding the coins.

Later, in Mushridge, Mario tells Pronto that they returned the Gold Coins to the town's citizens, and that he ran Billy the Koopa out of town. Pronto points out that the two of them made a good team, and they shake hands. After saying goodbye to Pronto, Mario gets back onto the stagecoach and proceeds to drive off. Meanwhile, an elderly citizen of Mushridge walks up to Pronto, asking who the masked man was. When Pronto tells him that it was the Provolone Ranger, the man points out that they never got a chance to thank him or to invite him to dinner. Suddenly, Mario comes dashing up to the man and Pronto, excited about the mere mention of dinner. Mario then breaks the [[Fourth wall]] by saying to the audience, "And you thought Pronto was fast!" | Later, in Mushridge, Mario tells Pronto that they returned the Gold Coins to the town's citizens, and that he ran Billy the Koopa out of town.
