Super Mario-kun Volume 10 is the tenth volume of the manga series. It concludes both the Mario & Wario and the Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins arcs (the former having some elements from Super Metroid and Mega Man) and follows with a one-chapter story based on Yoshi's Safari and the beginning of the Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 arc (with elements from Tetris). The last chapter is a bonus story based on Super Mario All-Stars in which Bowser, Wart, and Wario form an alliance to defeat Mario and his friends. This volume's extras are 4-komas and bonus pictures, while the Super Mario All-Stars story contains mazes and a surprise quiz based on the aforementioned pictures.
Contents[edit]
Chapters[edit]
Stage 1[edit]
The search for Luigi continues. In a forest, Luigi falls asleep due to the cold and is covered by the falling leaves. A few hours later, Mario, Yoshi, and Bowser-Wanda pass by Luigi's leaf pile without noticing him and, not only that, Mario also sets fire to the pile to warm themselves, while Luigi's screams are covered by Yoshi's, whose foot is being stepped on by Mario. To get cover from the strong autumn wind, the three heroes enters a cave.
The cave is revealed to be made out of ice and is so cold that Wario's mucus freezes instantly into stalactites that fall near the others, who just now notices Wario flying above them riding the Bulldog. Mario tries to reach him, but keeps slipping on the icy floor, and he is also smacked by Wario with a spanking-paddle. Wario leaves, leaving them with four Komorins: the Komorin Jā. Not one of the heroes take them seriously and attempt to leave, but the Komorin Jā shoot Unibo at them, but Mario stops them using Yoshi's mouth and makes him spit them at the Komorins. The trio attempts to run away again, but Mario and Yoshi are stuck on some Nebaneba Blocks. The Komorin Jā come together to summon their robot: the Komorin Ka, which rolls over Mario and Yoshi.
Bowser-Wanda takes them away and summons a robot for Mario as well: the Mario Zone's robot. Mario jumps on the control panel of the Mario Zone, but cannot quite control it, and things become more challenging when a Pipe-shaped bucket is put on the robot's head. After being shoved left and right by the Komorin Ka, the Mario Zone finally gets the bucket off from its head and pukes out all the enemies, obstacles, and items inside its mouth right on the Komorin Ka, overwhelming it and defeating it. As Mario steps out the worn-out robot, Yoshi notices that it started snowing outside and the three go out and play with the snow, not noticing the burned Luigi, covered by the snow.
Stage 2[edit]
のろいのツボ!? ルイージの
During a snowstorm, a Dry Bones and a Flying Goomba are looking for Bowser to help him in his search for Luigi. The Dry Bones trips on something: a frozen Luigi, who has been lying on the ground since the last chapter. The two first try to break the ice, then take him to a lava cave and submerge Luigi in the lava, melting the ice (and burning him). The two explain to Luigi that Bowser is looking for him to help Princess Peach remove Wario's bucket from her head, since Wario described him as "the key to remove it". Luigi does not understand what they are talking about, but he offers to help.
Now that he is free from the ice, Luigi admits that he needs to urinate, and so do the others. They find a pot and, ignoring a nearby sign, urinate in it and are suddenly turned into Tsubōn. The Flying Goomba reads the sign, revealing that it carries a curse, turning people who urinate in it into Tsubōn. They then see Mario and Bowser-Wanda arrive, who find Yoshi (who went in the cave first) with his face turned into a pot after he urinated in one. Wario appears above them and explains the curse, but Yoshi strangely did not fully transform. Wario also reveals that there is a sword at the end of the cave that can break the curse and disappears.
Luigi, the Dry Bones, and the Flying Goomba, having recognized Mario and Bowser, try to make themselves notice, but they are not recognized and are treated as enemies, realizing only then that they cannot speak; they instead spit flames, although they are able to communicate between each others via telepathy. Mario and his partners make their way in the Tsubōn-filled cave (and only Yoshi realizes that they have familiar faces) and finally find the alleged sword Wario was talking about. A famished Blargg emerges from the lava and attacks them. Bowser tries to order the Blargg to stop, but he is not recognized by his minion. After distracting the beast with Yoshi, Mario attempts to make a run for the sword and, with a little help from Bowser-Wanda's wand, reaches it. With a Tsubōn pestering it, Mario pulls out the sword, breaking the curse on the victims, and the Tsubōn that was pestering him is revealed to be a Super Star who was cheering him. The Super Star powers-up the sword and with that, Mario defeats the Blargg. The heroes celebrate, not noticing that Luigi, Dry Bones, and the Flying Goomba (who were following them on the ceiling) just fell from the ceiling and, unfortunately for Luigi, he fell straight into the lava.
Stage 3[edit]
Back at his base, Wario is on Cloud Nine: Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, his own game, has just been released, and he is loving the Japanese commercial. His Goomba assistant, however, reminds him he should be worrying that Mario and Bowser could find Luigi and foil his bucket plan, but Wario has many trump cards up his sleeve. At Pukupuku Kai, Mario, Yoshi, and Bowser-Wanda are traversing the ocean when a small octopus and a sunfish end up on Mario and Bowser's heads respectively.
When they both say they cannot remove the fishes from their head, a Chochin Unkou, an angler fish shaped like feces, attacks them by paralyzing them with his lightbulb and morphing the fish on Mario and Bowser's heads into objects in order to suffocate them. Yoshi snaps out of the paralysis, eats his allies in order to digest the fish, and popping his freed friends out in an egg. Now free, Mario defeats the Chochin Unkou with a fireball and celebrates, but another fish comes to battle them: Wario-men Sakana, a Ningyo with Wario's face.
Bowser-Wanda uses magic to protect themselves under a protective bubble that the Wario-men Sakana pops quite quickly. Mario then attempts to scare off the fish using an inflatable buffed body, but Yoshi accidentally ruins the trick by removing the cork from the balloon. The Wario-men Sakana punches Mario against a ? Block. Inside, Mario finds a Star that, for some reason, turns him into a star. Believing to be invincible, Mario attacks the fish, but he has not gained a single power and is hurt by simply slamming against the enemy's face. Angry and unamused, the Wario-men Sakana lunges at them, but he is hooked by a fisherman and pulled out from the water. With the enemy disappeared, the group continue their search for Luigi, unaware that Luigi is running away from the Wario-men Sakana he just fished.
Stage 4[edit]
The heroes are exploring the Balloon Bridge in search of Luigi. Tired and hungry, Yoshi smells some food in the clouds and, while looking more closely, finds Luigi grilling some fish. The three hug Luigi in happiness, but then Mario asks why they were looking for him in the first place. Bowser smacks him on the head, explaining that Wario said he is the key to removing the bucket from Princess Peach's head. Mario understands, but he is continuously smacked in the head, but not from Bowser, but from Luigi. Much to Mario's surprise and shock, Luigi demands that he gets the leading role, unhappy to be a side character.
After Luigi starts tossing blocks, Mario and Yoshi see Lakitu above them enjoying the show. He explained that, under Wario's orders, he messed with Luigi's brain thanks to his cloud's gadgets: by simply amplifying his desire to be the protagonist, Luigi was turned into a fury. Mario understands that he needs to stop Luigi by beating him up, succeeding in the mission, but Lakitu's cloud increases Luigi's strength, turning him into a beast: Luigi Kong Chēnji. Luigi Kong inhales with his nose so much that Mario gets trapped in his nostril, then sniffs him out from the opposite nostril.
Mario tries to toss a fireball, but after raising his hand, Yoshi mistakes it for a high-five and claps Mario's hand, pushing away the fireball. Mario and Yoshi start running while chased by Luigi Kong, but Bowser-Wanda creates a traffic cone that tricks Luigi into running around it. With Luigi momentarily neutralized, the group brings their attention to Lakitu. After shaping his cloud into a cannon, Lakitu starts shooting at them, but Mario kicks the cannonballs away.
Luigi returns, but Mario kicks Yoshi at him, trapping Luigi in his mouth. After dodging another attack from Lakitu, Bowser-Wanda passes a Fūsen Block to Mario, turning him into Balloon Mario. Using his horn, Bowser pops Balloon Mario, sending him flying towards Lakitu, defeating him and destroying his cloud. Lakitu's influence on Luigi wears off and Luigi turns back to normal and gets out of Yoshi's mouth. The next stop is Bowser's Castle, where a disappointed Wario is waiting to finish this, once and for all.
Stage 5[edit]
ワリロイド
The group has made it to Bowser's Castle, but Luigi reveals he has no idea how to remove Peach's bucket and has no idea what Wario's phrase meant. Speaking of Wario, he shows up, riding his Bulldog above them and attacks by tossing five Piranha Plants at Mario. Mario is bitten on the head and on each of his limbs, so Yoshi plugs Mario to a battery, making him electric, electrocuting the Piranha Plants and making him toss an electric ball at Wario's plane, making it crash to the ground. Wario pulls himself up and, using the pieces of his Bulldog, creates a Power Suit and wears it, becoming Super Wariroid.
Due to his weight, Wario sinks into the ground, remaining stuck in it. The heroes jump at him, but Wario repels them with the arm cannon. After taking cover, Bowser-Wanda taunts Wario until he runs out of ammunition to shoot. Wario then tries to shoot farts and poop he "released" inside the Power Suit, but they are not enough to take the heroes down. Wario resorts to the Morphball to attack them. However, the Morphball is not fast enough to hurt them or make them fall, though when Mario kicks it, he falls on the ground in pain, having kicked a heavy object. Wario attempts to strike, but finally, the spell that kept Bowser and Wanda fused runs out, and Bowser grabs the Morphball. Wario manages to get free by activating some spikes on the surface of the Morphball, prickling Bowser, who releases him from his clutches.
Wario keeps rolling towards Mario with his spikes out, but Wanda comes to his aid by creating a ! Block. Mario hits it and gets a Block Buster, a Mega Buster-like arm cannon. Mario uses it against Wario, defeating him with one powerful shot that disintegrates his Power Suit. Wario pulls himself up, apparently furious, but he then smiles: Mario passed the test, and he will be soon joining Wario to a treasure hunt to Kitchen Island later in the volume. All is well that ends well, but one problem still stands: Princess Peach's bucket and Luigi being the key to free her. Wario then grabs Luigi and, after hammering him, flattens him and shapes him into a key, then he inserts him into the "W" shaped keyhole on Peach's bucket. With Peach bucket-free, Bowser takes her and runs to the castle, chased by Mario, while Wario leaves, with Luigi, Wanda, and Yoshi still shocked that Luigi was the actual key.
Stage 6[edit]
ワリオ
After a lot of misadventures, battles, and troubles, Mario has collected all the 6 Golden Coins and, after taking a commemorative picture with his partners Hippo, Carrot, and Yokkī, they head for Wario's Castle. Wario is not happy about it, taking it out on his minions and his Goomba assistant, but he did reserve the best of his minions for last. Hippo accompanies Mario and his friends to the castle and, after explaining how to open the gate with the Coins, he also reveals that they have a special power with them. After Mario, Carrot, and Yokkī enter the castle, Hippo returns being a statue.
Inside the castle's walls, the group is attacked by a Floating Face, but it is not taken seriously by the heroes. The Face starts listing all the traps Wario prepared and they should be ready for them, but is crushed by a mechanical fist. Proceeding, Mario avoids an incoming Furizo, but not when it returns back. He then stops a Piranha Plant statue from shooting by plugging Yokkī in it. Yokkī is also used as protection by Mario and Carrot against a bunch of Karamenbo and as a boat to cross a lava pit.
Furious, the Floating Face summons two more Faces to deal with the three heroes, and they seem to overwhelm Mario, who falls to the ground, making the 6 Golden Coins fall. The Coins begin to shine and speak and offer their powers to defeat the enemies. With the power of the Moon Coin, Mario regains strength, and with the help of the Turtle Coin, Mario headbutts one of the Floating Faces with an elongating neck. The enemies charge at the group, but Mario backs up against a ? Block containing a Super Mushroom that the Tree Coin gets. Powered up, the Coin summons a gigantic tree, protecting Mario and knocking out the Floating Faces that slammed against it. Mario thanks the Golden Coins, sure that, with their help, he will defeat Wario. Meanwhile, one of the tree branches makes its way to Wario's room, poking him in the bottom.
Stage 7[edit]
Finally, it is time for the final battle. Wario congratulates with Mario for making it this far, while the latter is ready for a rematch, stating that, with the help of his friends, he can easily take him down, unlike the first time. Wario laughs at this and kidnaps Carrot right under Mario and Yokkī's noses and turns her into a black power-up, forcing her to help him in the fight by giving the Bunny power.
Using his heavy jumps, Wario makes Mario trip, leaving him defenseless to his punches. Meanwhile, Yokkī eats the Goombas in the room, being turned into a pig by Wario's magic. The Golden Coins come to Mario's aid: the Pumpkin Coin turns Mario's head into a Jack-o'-Lantern that scares Wario, but only for a second. The Macro Coin swipes Mario's head away from Wario's fist, but it bumps against a wall and, releasing its power, hits Wario, turning him into a giant. Being so large to break the roof, the giant Wario grabs Mario and takes him to the rooftop of the castle, slamming against the flagpole.
Mario pulls himself up and tells Wario that he made a grave mistake, since in the flagpole he hid a weapon for a crisis such as this one: a flute. With Wario, Yokkī and the Coins still confused, Mario plays the flute so poorly that Wario's spell on Carrot breaks, freeing her from Wario's influence. Wario, having lost the Bunny Power, grabs a Fire Flower and bombs Mario with fireballs, yelling that, no matter how many allies he has, they are still a few compared to him. Right at that moment, Luigi, the Heavy Zed, and the rest of the inhabitants of Mario Land, now free from Wario's hypnosis, arrive at the castle. Mario is happy, convinced they all come to aid him, but they all sit on some stands just to cheer and root for him, much to Mario's disappointment.
While Wario prepares to toss a large fireball, Yokkī asks Luigi if he brought at least something, and he pulls out an Item Box containing Lightning. Luigi tosses it inside Yokkī's mouth, charging him up with electricity, then Mario grabs him and tosses him at Wario, striking him down with a blow so powerful that not only Wario becomes small, but the entire castle collapses. Just then, Mario notices Hippo statues and, with the help of the Golden Coins, turns them into the new Mario's Castle. Meanwhile, Wario flees, promising to make Mario pay for this humiliation.
Stage 8[edit]
マリオのピンボール!? お
It is New Year's Eve, and Mario, Luigi, Peach and Yoshi are enjoying a picnic outside. As tradition wants, the family chief, on New Year's Eve, has to give the children with an otoshidama, an envelope with money in it. Peach is about to give the three their otoshidama when a Flying Goomba swipes them from her hand and flies away towards a flying castle. Mario and Yoshi follow him and, once they reach the castle, Roy, riding his battle hot air balloon, attacks Mario, balling him up into a ball. Then, Roy tosses him inside the castle, created to be a deadly pinball.
Yoshi takes command of the flippers to avoid him falling down the castle, guiding him through a maze of enemy-bumpers. When Mario finally reaches the finish hole, Roy summons a Piranha Plant who bites Mario, putting him back into the pinball. Hitting the shell-shaped bumpers, one of them turns yellow and Yoshi eats it and stomps the ground, shaking it. Mario goes flying off the ground and straight towards Roy, destroying his aircraft and taking back the otoshidama.
Yoshi and Mario return to Luigi and Peach, but she reveals that the envelopes were empty: she did not fill them with coins yet, so Roy essentially stole nothing.
Stage 9[edit]
テトリス
After the loss of Birdo, Yoshi has remained single, so Peach decides to present him to a cute and kind Rex called Chirako. To help Yoshi make a good impression, Peach tells him that Chirako loves the CoroCoro Comics, so he decides to buy one for her, heading to the comic book store with Mario. By the time they reach the store, not only does it start snowing, but they find out that the shop is closed due to the weather.
Suddenly, someone pops out from the snow: it is Chirako. She explains that she came from Watasu no Shima, her home island, to buy a CoroCoro comic, but after her departure, she learned that a villain attacked her town: Wario. Mario and Yoshi decide to accompany Chirako to Peach's Castle when Wario appears on the Bulldog, ready to wreak havoc on the three. Mario tries to shoot him down with snowballs, but the Bulldog's propeller fires them back. While running away, the three fall into a hole.
Having them trapped, Wario tosses at them some Tetriminos made out of ice, freezing who is trapped under them, a fate Chirako soon follows. Mario, having experience with Tetris, tells Yoshi to order the Tetriminos to cancel the blocks put in lines. Soon, they manage to master it and remove most of the Tetriminos, but Wario speeds up their falling, trapping Yoshi and freezing the fireballs Mario tried to use to break the blocks. About to trap Mario as well, the latter notices a Super Star stuck inside a T-Tetrimino and uses it to become Tetris Mario, zapping the Tetriminos with a Tetris Flash.
Wario accepts defeat and flies away. Mario, who climbed out from the hole with the frozen Chirako and Yoshi, tries to zap Wario with a Tetris Flash, but creates an avalanche that takes all three to the valley by Peach's Castle.
Stage 10[edit]
Mario, Yoshi, and Chirako are getting ready to go and save Watasu no Shima from Wario. Luigi prepares the Marine Pop, but a problem occurs: the Marine Pop cannot take the weight of three individuals, so Yoshi is forced to lend his swimming skills to move the Marine Pop, and they are off. Once they reach the beach, they find Wario, in Mini form, tied up and the townsfolk buried in the sand. After freeing all of them, they explain that, after Wario got back to the island, they were ambushed by the Black Sugar Gang pirates, who stole the Watasu citizens' most prized possession, a giant golden statue of Princess Peach, and went away on their ship.
A group of Pirate Gooms and a Wanderin' Goom appear from behind a hill and start tossing spears at them. Mario presumes they remained to avoid that the citizens were freed, but the Gooms explain that they simply did not get on the ship in time before its departure, but they can take Mario's head to their captain. After Mario pranks them by giving them a fake head, the Gooms start throwing spears at them. Yoshi is hit and is turned into a Goom, while Mario is crushed by a giant stone spear and Wario gets a bucket stuck on his head.
The island chief admits his worries that now the pirates will force them to give them anything they have, but the only thing the chief has is Garlic. Wario hears him, grabs the Garlic and manages to eat it, becoming larger, breaking the bucket and pounding the Gooms into a pulp. After freeing Mario and Yoshi, Wario asks the Gooms where the rest of the pirates are, and they answer: Kitchen Island. The citizens ask to bring back their treasure and Wario accepts, asking Mario and Yoshi to help him, revealing also that, with the treasure and reward, he will be able to build his own castle.
Bonus Stage[edit]
スーパーマリオくん☆スペシャル スーパーメイズコレクション (Super Mario-kun ☆ Special Super Maze Collection)
Part 1[edit]
ピーチ
Spring has returned to the Mushroom Kingdom. Yoshi has woken up from his winter hibernation and is ready to eat with Mario and Luigi, however, Toad brings bad news to the three: Peach has been kidnapped by Bowser. Bowser appears, riding his Koopa Clown Car, while Peach tries to get Mario's attention by throwing rocks at him. After Bowser proclaims he will marry Peach against her will, he states that, in order to save her, Mario has to get through a series of mazes that he and Wart prepared, then disappears. Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi find the entrance of the mazes and enter them.
- It's a maze of winding clay pipes! Of the three arrows, only one is the correct entrance! Go through the clay pipes and aim for the goal!
- O-ho! Mario is surrounded by three Boos! Let's escape to the goal so as not to meet any Boo!
- At first glance, it looks like a normal maze, but with a formidable enemy hidden in it! If you beat the maze and fill the path you took, it will appear!
The trio gets through all three mazes and finds Wart at the finish line, to which they fill his mouth full of Vegetables, knocking him out. Luigi, however, realizes that Bowser and Wart would not collaborate by themselves: someone else is involved in this alliance, and he is right, as an off-screen voice points out.
Part 2[edit]
ついに
From the ground, Wario's castle emerges, with Wario, Bowser, and Wart on the rooftop. The former one explains he came up with this alliance to succeed where they all failed by themselves: defeat Mario. With Peach still in Bowser's clutches, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi enter the castle and face three more mazes.
- It is a one-way maze that can only be advanced in the direction of the arrow. Use the forks to go round and round!
- Here it is! It is a bonus maze with a lot of coins. Find the way to get the most coins! However, once you've taken it, you can't take it again.
- There are four mazes in all? No, all four mazes are connected, and it is one big maze! The road to the goal is long, but can you get through?
Wario, Bowser, and Wart are defeated and Peach is saved. However, Wario stands up and unveils one last trap: a machine of Tairyō no Bomuhei, and on the machine are four illustrations from Super Mario Bros. (Koopa Troopa, Koopa Paratroopa, Goomba, and Super Star). Mario has to pair each icon with the number of times it appears throughout the volume. That said, Wario and his allies flee on a hot air balloon, leaving the heroes to their doom.
The three villains hide behind a rock to enjoy the explosion, but Mario and his friends get out, claiming to have solved the puzzle, then leave riding the Sky Pop. Shocked, the three villains return inside the castle and discover that they actually solved the puzzle. Angry, Bowser kicks the machine, switching it on and making the Bob-ombs explode, much to the heroes' delight.
