Story
In a small Japanese apartment, a young boy and his sister are playing Super Mario Bros 3 on their Famicom, when their mother calls, and tells them to come to her shop by the time she is finished at work. Some time goes by, and the boy is still playing Super Mario Bros 3. The girl gets impatient, and leaves without him. She is too young to know where the shop is, and she gets lost. Her mother starts looking for her in a panic, as they are not there yet. The boy then runs off to look for his lost sister. He almost gets hit by a driver, which was Mario. He gets out and gives him a small lecture on being safe when crossing the road. Meanwhile, Bowser scares the girl and eventually the family reunites. The girl gets scared, and runs to a police officer. She sees Bowser once more, and tells the police officer. Bowser then runs off into the road as Mario kicks him away. After this, there is a transition of safety tips, such as "Don't talk to strangers" and "Always look both ways before crossing". After the lessons are taught, Mario says goodbye and flies away with a Tanooki Leaf.
