Super Mario-kun Volume 7

Super Mario-kun Volume 7 is the seventh volume of the manga series. It starts the Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins story arc (which was already anticipated in the last volume's last chapter) with elements from Yoshi's Cookie. In this chapter, Mario, accompanied by Carrot and Coshie, enters the Tree Zone, Turtle Zone, Mario Zone, and Macro Zone.

The last two chapters are two original stories; the first one has elements from Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, and Super Mario Bros. 2, while the last one is a completely original story, narrated in the style of a role-playing game.

Just like in the last two volumes, this volume contains no 4-komas.

Stage One
帰ってきたマリオ!! 打倒ワリオへGO!! (Mario is Back!! Go and Defeat Wario!!)

After saving Princess Peach from Bowser's clutches in Dinosaur Land, Mario decides to return to his home in Mario Land, the land Peach gave to him as a reward for all his (and Luigi's) heroic acts, and enjoy some well deserved rest. Flying in the Sky Pop, Mario returns to Mario Land, but he's not even landed yet that he's attacked by a tree. Then, after crashing, the entire vegetation attacks him. Mario questions himself if he got on the right island and sees the welcoming sign: it's saying "Mario Land". A Goomba appears and replace the sign with another one that's saying "Wario Land". Still shocked, Mario's childhood friend, Wario itself, way bigger and stronger than the last time Mario saw him, appears.

Wario mocks Mario and explains to him that he conquered the Mario Land, while he was busy fighting Bowser, because he is jealous of his popularity and the fact that he owns a castle. To conquer it, Wario hypnotized (almost) every inhabitant of the island to be on his side, explaining why even the vegetation attacked him. Wario shoves Mario down a cliff, but he manages to save himself with a rope, then tries to punch him, but he ends up only in hurting himself, without making Wario flinch. Wario beats him to a pulp, then leaves. Mario tries to sneakily make faces behind his back, but Wario catches him in the act and beats him again, then disappears with the Goomba, his assistant.

Mario hears someone approaching: it's a Spikey that farts on him, then rolls towards him. A pebble gets it by one of Spikey's spikes and it's launched in the air, hitting a ? Block from which a Carrot comes out. The Carrot lands on Mario and he becomes Bunny Mario, letting him dodge the incoming Spikey with a hop. Spikey rolls on a wall and Mario kicks him, defeating him. The Carrot, which can speak and grows some limbs, explains that not everyone succumbed to Wario's hypnosis, like the power-ups, which won't follow Wario's orders. She also explains that the Mario's Castle, now Wario's HQ, is locked and only the 6 Golden Coins can open it, and they are hidden in the six regions of the island. So, Mario, with his new ally, decides to go on a quest to search the 6 Golden Coins and retake back the Mario Land from Mario.

Stage Two
ツリーゾーン突入!! この木なんの木敵がいる木!? (Enter the Tree Zone!! What Kind of Tree is This!?)

With Mario's return, Wario and his fellow Goomba are testing the castle traps, but they should also spy on Mario. Goomba presents to Wario the Kyotonbo, a robot dragonfly with a hidden camera linked to their computer screen. However, the Kyotonbo gets too near to Mario, so he squashes it, making the computer screen explode on Wario and Goomba's faces.

The Tree Zone, the first region made out of a giant tree. Mario and Carrot enter the first area and, fascinated by the Tree sap walls, Mario falls in a pond of sap. Carrot tries to help him, but gets stuck herself as well. A Mōgyo drags Mario deeper and attempts to kill him, but dodging it like a toreador, Mario has the upper hand, but then the Mōgyo enlarges its horns and charges at him. Carrot finally frees herself from the sap and slaps herself on Mario, giving him Bunny Ears. With those, Mario holds the Mōgyo's horns and then breaks them, defeating it. Later, after getting stung by a Spike, Mario sits on a Noko Bombette, making it explode.

Finally out from the trunk, it's time to face the branches. The duo enters a beehive. Scared of the Bees, Mario puts an armor on, but at the first attempted sting, Mario jumps out and rushes in the middle of a nest of Bees and Uneras, knocking them out. Mario gives a sigh of relief, but is then crushed by a Būichi. Mario, angry, slams it with a swatter, then buries it in the ground. Angry, the Būichi calls a group of Skeleton Bees that stings him in the bunny ears. Mario is hurt, but realized that the stings made his swollen ears big and use those as a swatter to off all the Bees. Dragging behind him a pair of big, swollen and bulky bunny ears, Mario, and Carrot, leaves the beehive.
