==Plot synopsis==
==Plot synopsis==
In Kansas, a family of four is currently in the midst of driving the [[United States of America]] countryside to [[Wild Waldo's One-of-a-Kind Amusement Park]] in a station wagon. After the daughter of the family, [[Missy]], continues to pester her father, [[Norman]], about whether they are at the amusement park yet, Norman, flustered, stops the car; then sarcastically says they are here and to be quiet. Norman starts to drive again, only to be asked by his son, [[Bud]], whether or not they are lost, to which Norman responds with a somewhat hesitant no. As Norman continues to drive along, his wife tells Bud and Missy that the amusement park is still far away and to simply enjoy the scenery, as it will take them at least another hour of driving to arrive. After this is said, Norman drives the station wagon through a tunnel, which is actually a [[Warp Pipe|Warp Zone]].

Once the Warp Zone is driven through, the family find themselves in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]; as Bud and Missy look around, bewildered, at their new surroundings, their [[Bud and Missy's mother|mother]] calms them down and assures them that Norman, who believes he has somehow entered [[List of implied locations#Iowa|Iowa]], will find a gas station and ask for directions. After his wife tells Bud and Missy this though, Norman, distracted by all the new scenery, accidentally crashes the car into a wall of [[? Block|Blocks]]. As the car's engine begins to steam, the family is left to panic as Norman, who has lost control of the car, tries desperately to steer it. As the car swerves out of control, it narrowly avoids hitting a nearby [[Toad (species)|Mushroom]] boy who was fishing by a river; fortunately, the Mushroomer jumps into the river to avoid the car, which he perceives to be a monster.

[[File:Mush Rumors 5.jpg|thumb|left|Mario concluding that the "aliens" are real worlders.]]
As Mario has his doubts about this story, he asks if anyone actually saw these "aliens". The Mushroom boy claims he did, and Mario asks to please describe what was seen. After the Mushroom boy tells Mario and Luigi about the aliens, Mario surmises that what the boy saw was [[Human|real worlders]], like him and Luigi, though the Mushroom boy still claims that what he saw was aliens. After the boy says this, Mario tells Luigi that they had better do an investigation on what is really going on.

Up above, Koopa's [[Airship|Doom Ship]] suddenly materializes and floats through the air. Onboard the Doom Ship, Koopa is instructing Kooky to, when the "aliens" are seen, blast them with all the artillery the Doom Ship has. As Kooky says that no aliens are going to conquer [[Dark Land|their kingdom]], Koopa tells Kooky he cares more about survival than the kingdom.

Unfortunately, the station wagon is grabbed by a large magnet lowered by the Doom Ship, which begins to tow the car and the family inside, to Kastle Koopa, leaving both Mario and Luigi to watch them go in shock.

At Kastle Koopa, King Koopa and the Koopalings are beginning an interrogation of the confused family. Koopa demands that the family change to their true forms: horrific alien monstrosities, which only confuses the family more and prompts Norman to begin trying to question and threaten Koopa. Kootie Pie, becoming annoyed, tells Koopa that the aliens are still trying trick them by staying in human form; Kooky reassures Kootie Pie and Bowser though, saying that he can get all the information needed from the family by using his new [[Transmutational Brainwave Analyzer]], which can scan the families' minds and reveal their plans of conquest, which can then be used by Koopa to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom; the magnitude of Kooky's plan actually causes Koopa to cry tears of joy at how proud he is of him.
