Super Mario-kun Volume 10

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 ) and follows with two one-chapter stories based on Yoshi's Safari and Tetris and the beginning of the Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 arc.

The last chapter is a bonus story based on Super Mario All-Stars in which Bowser, Wart, and Wario form an alliance to beat 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.

Stage 1
戦隊VS巨大ロボ!? ルイージの大災難 !! (Team VS Giant Robo!? Luigi's catastrophe!!)

The search for Luigi continues. In some forest, Luigi falls asleep due to the cold and gets 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 it is so cold that Wario's mucus freezes instantly into stalactites that falls 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 gets also smacked by Wario with a spanking-paddle. Wario leaves, leaving them with for Komorins: the Komorin Jā. Not one of the heroes take them seriously and attempt to leave, but the Komorin Jā shoot Unibōs 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 can not quite control it, and things gets harder when a Pipe-shaped bucket is put on the robot's head. After getting shoved left and right by the Komorin Ka, the Mario Zone finally gets the bucket of 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 burnt out Luigi, covered by the snow.

Stage 2
のろいのツボ!? ルイージの大災難 2!! (Cursed acupoints!? Luigi's catastrophe 2!!)

During a snow storm, a Dry Bones and a Flying Goomba are looking for Bowser to help him in his serach for Luigi. The Dry Bones trips on something: a frozen Luigi, who has still being lying on the ground since last chapter. The two first try to break the ice, then take him to a lava cave and submerges 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 go to pee, and so do the others. They find a pot and, ignoring a nearby sign, they all pee in it and, suddenly, they are turned into Tsubōn. The Flying Goomba reads the sign, revealing that it carries a curse, turning people who pee in it in Tsubōn. They then see someone arrive: it is Mario and Bowser-Wanda. The two finds Yoshi (who went in the cave first) in a strange state: his face has become a pot after he peed in one. Wario appears above them and explains that the cave has a cursed pot that turns the ones that pee in it into Tsubōn, but strangely Yoshi did not fully transform. Wario also reveals that there is a sword, at the end of the cave, that should break the curse, then he 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, instead they 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 does not get 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 him, Luigi fell straight in the lava.

Stage 3
海中大決戦!! ワリオ面魚をつり上げろ!! (Underwater Great Battle!! Lift up Wario-men Sakana!!)

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 ends 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 a poo, attacks them by paralyzing them with his lightbulb and morphing the fishes on Mario and Bowser's heads into objects, in order to suffocate them. Yoshi, snaps out from the paralysis, eats his allies in order to digest the fishes 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 with Wario's face.

Bowser-Wanda uses magic to protect themselves under a protective bubble that the Wario-men Sakana gets rid of 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 reasons, turns him into a star. Believing to be invincible, Mario attacks the fish, but he has not gained a single power and gets hurt by simply slamming against the enemy's face. Angry and unamused, the Wario-men Sakana lunges at them, but he gets hooked by a fisherman and pulled out from the water. With the enemy disappeared, the gang continue their search for Luigi, unaware that Luigi is running away from the Wario-men Sakana he just fished.

Stage 4
主役争奪戦!! ルイージ怒りの大暴走!! (Battle for the leading role!! Luigi's angry runaway!!)

The heroes are exploring the Balloon Bridge in search for Luigi. Tired and hungry, Yoshi smells some foods in the clouds and, while watching better, 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 remove 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 get 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 increase 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 it 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 gang bring 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 to 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 from Yoshi's mouth. Next stop: Bowser's Castle, where a disappointed Wario is waiting to finish this, once and for all.

Stage 5
ワリロイド出現!! バケツ対決ついに決着!! (Wariroid Appears!! Bucket Showdown Finally Settled!!)

The gang 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 the 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 plan, 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 and the armor's, Wario sink 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 ammo to shoot him at. Wario tries then to shoot farts and poop he "released" inside the Power Suit, but they are not enough to take the heroes down. So, Wario resorts to the Morphball to attack them. Luckily, the Morphball is not fast enough to hurt them or making them fall, but when Mario kicks it, he falls on the ground in pain, having kicked a heavy object. Wario attempts to strike, but finally, Bowser and Wanda spell that kept them 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 Wario 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 what 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, flattening 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 and Luigi, Wanda and Yoshi are still shocked that Luigi was the actual key.
