Plot synopsis[edit]

Mario and Toad are riding a seesaw when Yoshi arrives and joins them, sitting behind Toad. However, this makes the seesaw unbalanced and leaves Mario in the air. After Mario makes several attempts at pushing the seesaw back down, he decides to do a Ground Pound on it which sends Toad and Yoshi flying away.
