Mototin's Mario Land

モト珍ちんマリオランド

• マリオ登場とうじょう ("Mario appears"): Mario appears and presents himself as the manga's protagonist, a great athlete, and a versatile guy, but most importantly, he is very popular with girls. Luigi appears and asks him "if he so popular why is he not married yet?", to which Mario chases him with a hammer, for embarassing him in front of the readers.
• ルイージ参上さんじょう ("Here comes Luigi"): It is Luigi time to present himself. He presents as Mario's younger brother, but he is graced with being taller and slimmer than him, therefore, in middle school, girls always asked him out. To get revenge for the first strip, Mario then claims that he was named Luigi because he was a copy. To this, Luigi starts hitting his brother for ruining his presentation.
• お仕事しごとは？ ("What's your job"): Mario and Luigi begin their journey. The narrator then asks what could be their job: judging by how they are full of money, their job must be collecting floating coins or treasures inside bricks.
• リアルマリオ ("Real Mario"): in this skit, the artists tries to depict the traveling brothers with a more realistic artstyle, but immediately changes his mind.
