Super Mario Adventures

Super Mario Adventures was a Super Mario comic that was published in the Nintendo Power magazine for quite a while, beginning in 1992. It featured many of the enemies and characters from the game Super Mario World, but had an original, quite funny storyline. After its run in Nintendo Power, it was published in graphic novel form.

Storyline
Mario and Luigi arrive at the Princess'es castle, where a party is scheduled to take place in the evening. Unfortunatly, there is a huge mess in the plumbing! All the pipes are mixed up and disconnected! The Bros. quickly get to work, eventually clearing out the mess, leaving only one disconnected green pipe that they had not seen before. Suddenly, another green pipe, this one VERY large, pops out of the ground. Mario peeks inside and promptly is snapped on the nose by a Piranha Plant. At that moment, the Princess is playing Super Mario Bros. in the courtyard, accompanied by her faithful Toad courtiers. One of the Toad guards runs up with some very important news: Gigantic pipes are popping up everywhere The Toad courtiers are dubious ("Popping pillars of pipe? Preposterous!!") But, when they look out the window, they find it is true; not only are they pipes littering the palace yard, but at that moment, tons of monsters (all from Super Mario World, of course) including Monty Moles, Swoops, and Goombas, shoot out of the plumbing!
