Mario vs. Wario

Mario vs. Wario was a comic seen only in the Super Mario Adventures comic graphic novel. The plot was that Wario, seeking revenge for Mario's "dirty deeds" (including tricking him onto pulling up Piranha Plants in the garden, Thwomping him, and always being the Sheriff in their games of cowboys) has sent Mario an invitation to his castle. Mario recieves it and he, too, has flashbacks, remembering all the incidents Wario remembered, but his opinion is quite different. Mario sets out, but is confronted on the way by many of the bosses from the Mario Land and Wario Land series. A humourus incident, for example, occours when the Octopus boss from Turtle Zone in Mario Land surfaces in front of him, threatening him. Mario tells him that he should be in saltwater, not freshwater as he is now. The Octupus sighs that he has, as a matter of fact, been feeling sickly, and Mario purs some salt in the water for him. But suddenly, he realizes that it was actually sugar! When Mario reaches the castle and pushes down the door, he finds Wario awaiting him. Mario realizes that Wario is TWENTY TIMES bigger than he is! After dodging his rivals enraged attacks, Mario notices a plug in Wario's overalls. He pulls it, shrinking the blown-out Wario back to size. Wario starts crying, calling Mario a "big bully". Mario cheers him up by pulling out what they used to play... Cowboys! Mario immediatly christens himself Sheriff and begins chasing Wario around the room, as Wario screams that he'll get his revenge... SOMEDAY!
