Mǎlìōu Dàmàoxiǎn (马力欧大冒险, roughly Mario's Great Adventure) is an unfinished Mario comic from an iQue e-book reader application on the CD-ROM bundled with the iQue GBA SP, released in 2004 along with the handheld. Only the first chapter of the comic is available, and both the writer and the illustrator of the comic are unknown. Like Super Mario Adventures, the comic tells a largely unique story based on Super Mario World.
Storyline
Chapter 1
Mario and Luigi were repairing pipes, when Toad told the brothers that the princess has built a museum and baked a large cake for Mario. Mario arrived at the museum, where Princess Peach started introducing the history of Mario's Adventures, but Mario's mind was fixated on the cake. Infuriated by Mario's neglect, Peach beat Mario into the ground, shocking Luigi and Toad, whom Peach responded with a smile that Mario "fell on his own".
After Luigi got Mario up, a Bob-omb with a burning fuse caught the trio's attention, holding a sign saying it was "A gift for Mario" from Bowser. Shocking to see the name, the trio were sent flying by the explosion. Bowser walked out of the smoke, kidnapped Princess Peach, and escaped through a hole in the ground. With Toad and Luigi still unconscious, Mario had to take on a group of Goomba, lead by Petey Piranha. After defeating the Goombas, Mario was locked in a duel with Petey Piranha, who gained the advantage by making Mario slip with Banana. Luigi came to the rescue by throwing a "Power Star", which Petey Piranha rushed to get. However, it was actually Luigi's shoe. After getting the real power star, Mario sent Petey Piranha flying with his fists.
After telling Luigi and Toad that Peach has been kidnapped by Bowser, Mario asked where the Power Star came from. Luigi said it was hidden in the museum, which Bowser was also looking for. Toad explains that there are five Power Stars in the entire Mushroom World, and Mario would get incredible powers should he get all five. The trio then decided to set on a trip to collect all the Power Stars and rescue the princess.
