Replaced all instances of "Peach" with "Toadstool".
(I know, but at this point in Mario history, you should refer the character according to the translation, hence why I asked for the translation.) |

Mario and [[Princess | It is Halloween and shortly before midnight, and a heavy storm is coming over [[New York City]]. Mario and [[Princess Toadstool]], who live in a huge [[Nintendo Skyscraper|skyscraper]] in the heart of [[Brooklyn]] together with various other [[Nintendo]] characters, are enjoying the comfortable atmosphere and their midnight dinner. They are just about to kiss, when suddenly a lightning strikes and puts the building into complete darkness. | ||

Toadstool is uneasy about letting Mario go down alone, but stays in the room as she is even more afraid of going to the cellar herself. When opening the door to the room with the fuse box, he meets [[Kirby]] and [[Link]], who also have apartments in the skyscraper and went down to check the fuses. Suddenly, they hear some strange whispering, coming out of [[Wario]]'s room. Link, who obviously is afraid of doing it himself, asks Mario to carefully open the door and check what is going on. When doing so, Mario does not believe his eyes. Wario's room is full of monsters and other characters from horror films and stories, such as [[Wikipedia:Jason Voorhees|Jason]], [[Chuckie]], and [[Wikipedia:Leatherface|Leatherface]]. | ||
In the middle, Wario and [[Abigor]], a demonic creature, are sitting at a table, debating. Abigor's plan is to take the skyscraper over, in order to have enough rooms for all his diabolical fellows. He asks Wario, who is the caretaker of the apartment building, to give him the keys. Wario likes the plan but asks what he is getting out of the deal. Abigor replies that he is able to manipulate Toadstool's brain. She would ignore Mario and instead fall in love with Wario. Zealously, he immediately signs the contract and hands the keys over to Abigor. In this moment, all the monsters stream out of Wario's room to search their new apartments matching their keys. | In the middle, Wario and [[Abigor]], a demonic creature, are sitting at a table, debating.

While Link pumps his friend up with an air-pump, Mario reports what has happened to Princess Toadstool. | ||
Immediately they head to Mario's room. Where | Immediately they head to Mario's room. Where Toadstool 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 Toadstool. 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 Toadstool, 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 Toadstool 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.
