Comic scenes

"Game Boy Hardware and Accessories" is a four-page comic promoting the Nintendo Entertainment System, new Game Boy, and accessories for both products. The artwork is hand-drawn but also uses real images of Nintendo products.

Plot synopsis[edit]

Mario is playing Tetris on his Game Boy, only for the batteries to die. He gets told by Luigi that he could have played for ten hours if he had a Rechargable Battery Pack A/C Adapter. Luigi pulls out the battery pack in question and shows off his Game Boy Belt-Pack Carrying Case, prompting Mario to start fighting him over both accessories. They stop fighting after Princess Peach threatens not to give them any cake if they continue to do so.

Princess Peach is promptly abducted by an entity only referred to as an "evil alien." Although Mario shoots the evil alien's spacecraft with an NES Zapper, it still escapes with Princess Peach. Luigi then flies over with two rockets and tells Mario that they will go after the evil alien with the rockets. Mario and Luigi are outnumbered by alien spacecrafts, but defeat them with an NES Max and an NES Advantage controller. The comic ends with Mario and an alien peacefully playing Metroid on a Nintendo Entertainment System while another alien, Luigi, and Princess Peach watch them.
