Mototin's funny manga theater[edit]
モトちんオモシロまんが
Mototin takes the opportunity to talk about the proportions of the Super Mario characters in the official artwork, starting with the fact that Mario's face is much bigger than Princess Peach's, despite her being much taller than him.
On that note, in Dr. Mario there is an artwork of Dr. Mario and Nurse Peach with their legs cut off by the frame, but if the rest of the legs were to be added, neither of them would be on the same ground level.
Back to the "big faces" argument, Yoshi has a face so big that, realistically, Mario would not be able to see in front of him when riding him. Bowser, interested in the conversation, enters the scene in his accurate design, and after seeing him, everyone declares him the big-headed winner. Bowser gets flustered by the recognition, until Wendy notices that they are just mocking him through compliments.
Chapters[edit]
Chapter 1[edit]
パチパチパンチにマリオダウン (Mario goes down with a pop-pop-pop)
Mario, Daisy, Captain Syrup, and the Floater (who is carrying the treasure sack of the former pirate captain) are looking for the Demon Bat Gang to vanquish the Demon Bat King before he rules over the world using the toxic gas of his Konotako army, and rescue Wario, and Luigi from his control. At the villain's base, through a periscope, Wario and Luigi are spying on Mario, jealous of him being surrounded by girls. The Demon Bat King reassures them that he can use his gas to brainwash any girl to join their harems, but another member of the gang is opposed to this idea: Minotaur. Having been resurrected to join the gang, Minotaur explains his homosexuality and how women are evil with a male's feelings, even though this idea is not well received by the other member, Bobo, who is a femminist.
While the gang discuss this, the Demon Bat King notices Mario and the others getting more and more near to their lair in Stove Canyon, so he asks his minions to stop them. Minotaur however states that they stand no chance against Mario, having lost to him in the past, so the Demon Bat King asks Luigi if he knows his brother's weakness. After some consideration, he answers that his weakness are beautiful girls, so they just need to disguise as women and distract him. Using the Sailor Guardians cosplays, Luigi, Wario, and Minotaur go towards Mario. Bobo, who at first does not want to join Minotaur in the mission, is reminded by the Demon Bat King that Mario likes "beautiful women", so she flies to aid them.
The three disguised men approach Mario and their plan to distract him nearly works, until he notices that they are wearing wigs, revealing their identities. Worried for the outcome of the impending battle, Syrup asks Mario to give her the lamp that she believes is in his possession, so that she can summon the Genie and get rid of the enemies, but Mario does not understand. She then proceeds to test her theory of him hiding the lamp in his pants by rubbing the bulge in his crotch, only to realize her embarassing misunderstanding when Daisy explains that bulge is "another type of treasure".
Meanwhile, from the periscope, the Demon Bat King spots Daisy and falls for her. He then demands Bobo to take the treasure sack from Floater and, as she does that, he reveals to be in possession of the Genie lamp all along, and now that he has treasures, he can pay the Genie for his wishes, demanding that he brings Daisy to him. The Genie goes and, aided by Minotaur and Wario restraining Mario, knocks him out and takes Daisy back to the cove, much to Minotaur's displeasure, who was fraternizing with the male members of the gang for their emancipated masculinity. Just then, Floater gets affected by the Konotako gas and breaks into pieces, and when Mario asks Syrup to help him, she walks away, frustrated by the futility of her efforts to gain something he did not have. Alone and desperate, Mario notices something on the ground: the only Treasure that fell off Syrup's sack, the Fairy Bell. He rings it and a magical portal appears.
Chapter 2[edit]
From the portal, a talking hand-held whale appears and offers to lead Mario towards the enemy base. As they step inside Stove Canyon, Mario is attacked by the nameless anglerfish scrapped from the game (but it is actually Wario in disguise) and they both nearly fall to their doom in a lava pool, but Mario manages to hold onto the overhang, while the maw of Wario's diguise holds onto his overalls. As he tries to pull up, Luigi approaches with evil intentions, stepping over the remains of the giant Floater that released the Demon Bat King.
Speaking of him, the Demon Bat King takes Daisy inside his lair, explaining that who has a pure heart is afflicted quickly by the toxic gas he is spreading. When the princess asks him why is he doing this to the world, he explains he is tired of being considered weak and small by the others, so he will take revenge by showing the world what a "small and weak" creature can do. As the gas is spreading around the world, Princess Peach, who managed to resist longer compared to her father and her subjects, also falls victim of the gas and begins to rot. Back to Mario, Luigi is trying to make him fall by stomping his fingers, but Mario manages to grab his leg and pulls himself up. Doing so, his pants falls down (as Wario was still hanging from them), leaving him exposed and realizing that Daisy and the others were witnessing through a glass screen on the other side of the gorge.
Taking advantage of the soundproof glass, Minotaur informs Mario that Daisy finds his member quite disappointing, embarassing Mario so much that Luigi is able to unleash a series of punches against him. After swatting away the hand-held whale, Luigi is ready to give the final blow, when he catches Daisy crying behind the glass. The sight of her tears transforms Luigi, liberating him from the grasp of the Demon Bat King. The King is surprised by this, but then he laughs, reminding that the gas takes effect quickly on pure people, and Luigi is now rotting in front of Mario's eyes. Furious, rage takes over Mario, and Wario and the Minotaur run inside the lair, locking the door, but Mario starts breaking it down.
The Demon Bat King stops him by throwing a Konotako at him, and its gas seems to do the trick. Wario then asks why the King did not bother to convert Mario and Daisy's alignments with his magic, but he explains that Mario would have resulted cooler than him, and Daisy would have turned less cute. Just then, the Face Blocks, brought to life by the Demon Bat King, spots Mario defiantly standing against the gas and resumes to break down the door. Wario suggests the idea that Mario is not giving up because he has a lot of women to not disappoint. Mario enters the Demon Bat Gang's cove, furious and ready to throw punches, but Daisy is taken as a hostage by the King.
Chapter 3[edit]
The Demon Bat King has issued a dire threat: he will harm Daisy if Mario makes any foolish moves. He scolds the King, telling him he should not be rough with girls, so Minotaur and Wario take his advice and interpret it as hurting a man is perfectly fine, and assault him. During the confusion, Syrup, who spotted the Demon Bat King taking Daisy to his lair, sneaks in the breach caused by Mario and takes the magic lamp, but she is spotted by Minotaur and the Demon Bat King coverts her to be his minion. Distracted by this, the Gang ignores Mario long enough for him to take Daisy and run to Parsley Woods. Having lost track of them, the Demon Bat King asks Syrup how would she hunt down Mario, and she replies that she would create a monster that Mario would not be able to fight back, rubbing the lamp to ask the Genie for one.
Safe by the Fork Tree, Mario begins to think of a plan to destroy the machine that is spreading the Konotako's gas, while Daisy attempts to kiss him as a gest of gratitude (but she is hindered by his big nose) and then proposes to make a new life together alone in the woods, when a giant angry golden Princess Peach appears behind them. Scared, Mario claims he did not do anything to Daisy, while Daisy, defiantly, boasts that she did "all sorts of things", which angers the giant Peach, which then tries to stomp and squash them. Daisy manages to spot Wario on a control panel inside Peach's crown, but despite this information, Mario is unable to hurt even a fake Peach. Cornered on a seeside cliff, Mario and Daisy are about to be squashed, when an axe breaks the giant Peach to pieces and flies back to the owner's hand: Dwarf, the brave giant of Parsley Woods. Just from his giant size, Wario gets so scared he loses his Viking helmet given to him by the Demon Bat King, turning small, and getting free from Demon Bat King's inluence.
Dwarf explains that he just got back on his home island and discovered that all his memorabilia like his trophies and tools he sored around the island disappeared. Understanding that those are the treasures the pirates claimed, Mario reveals that the Demon Bat King took them to pay off the Genie, the same being that Dwarf fought so much to trap inside the lamp for his evil deeds. Upon being discovered, the Genie transforms the Demon Bat King's lair into a soaring pirate ship, enabling him to elude his nemesis. With the Konotako gas machine implemented on the ship, the Demon Bat King is satisfied by this turn of events, and uses the anchor to catch Daisy. As the ship is flying away, Dwarf bestows Mario a Jet Hat and he goes after the ship to stop the Demon Bat King, rescue Daisy, and bring Dwarf's treasures back.
