→Part Two (5/1997): I did the math and it turns out that SM64 came out on March 1st so I am adding Peach back to this chapter of the comic because Peach was Peach in SM64 in the letter and MK64. Feel free to revert if this part is proven incorrect.

Kirby and Link are in their room, watching TV and eating pizza. Suddenly someone knocks at the door, and Kirby wonders whether he should open it.

While Link pumps his friend up with an air-pump, Mario reports what has happened to Princess Peach. | ||

Where Peach has been sitting, however, all that's left is a glowing golden die (presumably [[wikipedia:Lemarchand's box|Lemarchand's box]] wich was featured in the movie ''[[wikipedia:Hellraiser|Hellraiser]]''). Mario notices that it can be opened and recomposed. He tries it out, and immediately Link and Kirby claim to suffer from sickness. After a short time, they feel normal again, expecting something in their environment has changed, but they cannot find anything. Mario suggests to scan every room in order to find Peach. Kirby enters the bathroom and walks to the toilet, in order to wash his hands. The toilet, however, sucks him in. The same happens to Mario and Link with an icebox and a TV, respectively. They all get into a swirl which finally takes them to an underground crypt. | ||
There are graves throughout the vault, and Kirby notices that one of them has a skeletal hand sticking out and holding a book. Mario grabs it and thumbs through, assuming it to be a grimoire. Finally he tries to pronounce one of the spells, with the effect that he and his friends find themselves rouged and in outmoded women's clothes. Mario tries out another spell, which has the effect that a gate opens. The friends pass it and come into a dark corridor, which turns out to be the [[Elm Street Tunnel]]. At the end of it, they stumble upon Chuckie and one of his demonic allies, who ask them what they want. Mario, trying to make use of their outfit, claims that they are the cleaning squad and have come to tidy up Abigor's room. The monsters, however, don't fall for this excuse and kick Mario, Link and Kirby into the next room, which they refer to as [[Infernum]], Abigor's temple. | There are graves throughout the vault, and Kirby notices that one of them has a skeletal hand sticking out and holding a book.

The demon correctly assumes that they have come to rescue Peach, and sets his allies on Mario, Kirby and Link. While Link is attacked by some monsters, Mario manages to thumb through his grimoire again, looking for a suitable spell. Soon he finds what he was searching for, the "Dark Hero Horror" spell. Immediately after pronouncing it, the three friends turn into angry, powerful, dark creatures. | ||

Mario opens the door to where Peach is being held captive, and finds her, still in her zombie form, sitting on a bed. Mario wants to hug her, but all that she replies is a nonsensical sentence ("Your mother scrubs toilets in hell") which is a reference to a similar line from "The Exorcist". The plumber, however, claims that their love is stronger than the spell, and finally she turns back again. | ||
Link finds that the only thing they are lacking now is a spell to get back to their normal world. Mario tries one out, and after being sucked into a light beam, they pop amidst a public event. It turns out to be the "Musikantenstadl", which Mario declares for being worse than hell, while Link and Kirby are enjoying the party. | Link finds that the only thing they are lacking now is a spell to get back to their normal world.
