One random Mushroom Kingdom day, the bros, the princesses, Yoshi, Wario and Waluigi, and a few toad regulars were standing around in front of the castle. They had managed to make light conversation for about twenty seconds before it got boring.
"Well, this is boring," Waluigi said. "Why are we even here?"
"Because this is a good place for us to gather to start our random day," Daisy replied as if it should've been obvious.
Mario was standing there with his arms crossed scanning the distance with boredom. Wario snickered and suggested, "I know! Why don't we play tug of war with Mario?"
Mario snapped his head back. "What?"
"I'll take your feet and the rest of you bozos can pull his arms! First one to rip his limb off wins!"
Mario was already backing away with horror. "No, no, no no no! No games involving my body allowed! Honestly, what about me says 'game'?"
Everyone stared at him for a moment. "I dunno," shrugged Waluigi. "Call it a hunch." Luigi raised an unimpressed eyebrow.
Their conversation was broken off by a sudden distant sound growing louder overhead.
"Look!" Peach cried, pointing to the sky. They all did. Luckily it wasn't a trick. Although maybe they would've been better off if it had been.
It was Bowser in his clown car, alongside Kamek riding his broom and approaching fast. Everyone stood and watched as they pulled up right above them. Mario growled.
"What are you doing here, you big baboon? You're not allowed to kidnap the princess right now!"
"Mario, that's Bowser, not Donkey Kong," Yellow Toad whispered from behind him.
Bowser laughed. "I'm not going to," he replied.
Mario glanced around his group, a little confused. "Then who? Luigi?"
Luigi tensed up a little.
"No," Bowser kept laughing. Luigi breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Mario was now thinking as hard as he could. "I got it! You're here to bring me cream puffs!"
Everyone but Luigi gave him a weird look, but Bowser crossed his arms and was thoughtful. "Weeeell, in a way, I suppose so," he said. "Kamek!"
Kamek, who had been passively sitting by, suddenly raised his wand. Before anyone could do anything, a colorful blast of triangular sparkles was sent hurling their way.
"Sweet dreams!" Bowser laughed. Before anyone realized what was happening, Mario was suddenly lost in a thick cloud of smoke. The gang coughed and backed away.
"Mario!" Peach cried as the smoke began to clear. At first it looked like he had vanished. Luigi gasped horribly and was probably about to scream something when Peach sank to the ground, where Mario's seemingly empty clothes had fallen. Everyone stared stupidly. Even Bowser and Kamek.
"Oops," Kamek said.
"You...what did you do?!" Peach cried in horror.
"Hey, don't yell at me! Kamek did it!" Bowser said defensively.
"It's not my fault! The spell messed up!" Kamek said.
"You were supposed to give him a major headache! That was all!" Bowser told him. Then he stopped. "But I guess it killed him instead. Oh well, good try."
Then something in his clown car beeped. Bowser Jr.'s voice came through. "Hey dad, Larry spilled some toxic looking green goo and it's burning a hole in the floor. Try to come home as soon as possible."
Bowser started backing up his clown car. "Well, I'm needed elsewhere," he said, taking off. "Later!" Then he and Kamek blasted away into the distance.
"What is that?" Waluigi suddenly asked, pointing to Mario's clothes. Inside them was a small, moving heap.
"MARIO! He's been shrunk! Turned into a monster! HELLLP!" The toads started running in circles behind them shrieking.
The rest of them kept their eyes glued to the moving bundle, cautiously approaching. Then Peach stopped. "Uhh...Luigi?" She gestured for him to take it from there.
"M-Mario?" He asked cautiously, quivering as he reached out a hand. When he touched the lump, he jumped back and screamed like a baby chihuahua.
"Luigi!" Daisy reprimanded him in a hushed voice. "What is it?"
Luigi took a deep breath, then carefully started forward again. This time he grabbed the shirt's neck hole and peeked slowly inside.
Under the tent, a little brown-haired baby stared back at him. For a second all was still. Then Luigi slowly backed out and stood up again, staring at nothing.
"Luigi?" Peach asked.
Then he exploded. "MY BROTHER'S BEEN TURNED INTO A THUMB-SUCKING MILK-CHUGGING POOP MACHINE!!"
"What?" The whole group said in unison.
"What...what do you mean?" Peach asked, coming forward and staring at the bundle.
"I MEAN...my bro just got babied." Luigi shook his head in disbelief.
"What on earth does that mean?" Daisy asked in exasperation. "Start making sense, Luigi!"
"MARIO! IS! A! BABY!" Luigi shrieked, jumping up and down like an idiot. "That Kamek cast a faulty spell on him and poof! One hundred percent bambino!"
"Haha! If this is for real, I gotta see!" Said Wario, clearly enjoying himself.
"Uhh..." Everyone was looking at him weirdly. Peach had knelt by the clothes and lifted the shirt. Sure enough, there on the ground among the clothes sat a tiny blue-eyed baby, staring at them curiously like all babies do. He had a big nose and a look that was unmistakably Mario's, even at that age. He couldn't have been more than a year old.
For a while everyone stared. The baby stared back. No one said anything.
Then Waluigi broke into hysterical laughter. "OH MY GOSH! WOULD YOU GET A LOAD OF THAT!!"
"Mario's a baby!?" Wario asked, a grin lightening his features. "This is the best day ever! This is a dream come true! With him too busy barfing up Cheerios and dirtying up every last dumpster on the planet, I can be Nintendo's new mascot! I'll be in every game and can finally woo the princess without interruption! Woohoo!"
Peach gave him a disbelieving look. "Shameful. That is never happening!"
"Oh my gosh," Daisy gushed, "he's a baby! Aww, he's so cute!"
Just then Baby Mario sneezed. Peach started smiling too. "Oh my goodness, isn't he the sweetest?" She cooed.
"Oh my gosh, it's like...Deja vu," Yoshi said, staring at the baby.
Wario was standing there fuming. "Even though he's in diapers I'm still getting ignored! He looks like a tiny wimpy shrimp to me."
Waluigi was still laughing like a pig. "Ha! Look at him! He's like the size of my-"
"I can't believe it's true!" Yellow Toad butted in. "It's baby Mario!"
"No, this is the real Mario," Luigi corrected. "Turned back into his little baby self. Oh my gosh, what do I do? Mario's a baby! We...we gotta do something! Oh, how do we turn him back? I can't survive with Mario like this! I can't even-
"Luigi," Peach interrupted. "Relax. Of course we'll figure something out. We have to get Mario back. But in the meantime...why don't you find some clothes for him?" She giggled and looked at the naked baby.
Meanwhile the baby had been sitting there, looking around at his surroundings as if he'd never seen the world before. He burped. Then he looked up at them and smiled.
Peach melted. "Aww, he's so adorable! Oh Mario, aren't you just the cutest thing I've ever seen! Yes you are!" She knelt by him and tickled him under the chin.
"When you think about it, that is genuinely gross," Waluigi said.
"What do I dress him in? I don't have any clothes his size! Uh," Luigi said uncomfortably. "He's...not even wearing a diaper."
Everyone stared. "What do you mean?"asked Wario. "You mean he's..."
"His clothes are obviously way too big for him now. He's not really...wearing anything. But what do we do about it? We gotta turn him back, guys! We can't leave him like this!"
"No, we can't turn him back!" Wario said. "Let's leave him like this!"
"Oh, my," Peach was thinking, trying to get serious. "This really is quite a pickle here. I don't know; I'll call Rosalina. Maybe she can help. Take good care of him until we figure this out!" Then she turned and rushed into the castle.
"I guess we'd better make him a diaper," Luigi said. "Yoshi, do you think you could give me a hand?"
Yoshi drooped. He knew he'd get asked that.
"Why does everyone assume I'm the babysitter around here? He's your brother, and I think you're old enough to take care of him now!"
"But you have experience with this!" Luigi pleaded. "I...I don't know how to take care of a baby! Please, you have to help me!"
Yoshi sighed. "Come on, let's take him to your house." Luigi picked his baby brother up and the two headed off, leaving everyone else standing around awkwardly. Daisy finally turned to Wario and Waluigi. "Later, bozos," she said, then turned on her heel and headed into the castle with an entourage of toads trailing after her.

Inside, Peach was just getting off the phone. "Well, Rosalina said she doesn't know what to do," she told Daisy. "She's not a witch and she can't fix something like this."
"I wonder if Mario can actually understand what's going on," Daisy mused. "Probably not."
Peach chuckled a tiny bit. "It's crazy. Oh, I really am concerned, though; what if we never get him back?"
"Aw, I'm sure there's a way to reverse it," Daisy said confidently.
"Maybe we should go help out," Peach said. "Those boys don't really know the first thing about babies."
"Do we?" Daisy asked.
"Not really, but it's in our instincts," Peach reasoned logically.

"I DONT KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT BABIES!" Luigi screamed as he burst through his front door. "AND NOW I'M A BIG BROTHER AND I'M FREAKING OUT!!" He placed the baby down on the couch calmly and then started running in mindless circles. The reality was only just starting to sink in. He crouched down and screamed in the baby's face. "MARIO COME BACK TO ME!"
Mario sat there and stared at his brother. Then he reached out a chubby baby hand and grabbed his nose hard. Luigi sighed.
"Dude, chill," Yoshi said. "It's still Mario, man. He's just, like, illiterate. And small. And he's not toilet trained."
Luigi sat back and stared with doom at the wall. Yoshi sighed.
"Okay, give him to me," he picked up the baby. "I'll put a diaper on him."
"But we don't have any."
"Well, then I guess we're going to the store," Yoshi said.

Five minutes later, Yoshi and Luigi walked down the street towards ToadMart, Luigi carrying Mario swaddled in a bundle of clothes. He tried to hide him whenever somebody passed by, but they soon encountered a toad who seemed in the mood to chat.
"Hey Luigi, how's it going?"
"Um, just fine, bye," Luigi said, trying to step around, but the toad blocked him.
"Why are you carrying Mario's clothes?"
"Uh, taking them to the cleaners!" Luigi said.
"Don't you have a washing machine?"
"Uh, it broke."
"Can't you fix it?"
"No, I'm uh...too busy at the moment."
"Why are the clothes moving?"
"Okay later!" Luigi said, dashing away. Yoshi shrugged and followed him.

Inside the store, Luigi did his best to cover Mario up when he sat him in the cart. Still, a toad lady soon spotted the baby and walked over.
"Aww, he's so cute! Congratulations!" she told Luigi.
Luigi blinked in confusion and surprise for a moment. She didn't recognize Mario (or Luigi, for that matter), but she did seem to have formed a misconception.
"Oh, he's not - I mean I'm not his -
"How old is he?" she wanted to know.
"Uhh...ten months," Luigi guessed.
The toad lady smiled. "Well, he's beautiful," she said. "He looks just like you!"
Yeah, that's cause he's my twin, Luigi thought sarcastically, but he couldn't say that.
"Heh, thank you," he said uncomfortably as she went away. Yoshi, who was standing by in amusement, looked at him. Luigi was turning scarlet. "What are you looking at?"
"Oh, nothing," Yoshi said, looking casually around. "Nothing at all. Daddy."
Luigi hovered over the baby in a very suspicious way as they sped toward the diaper section, but he was still stopped by two more well-wishing shoppers.
"Oh, what's his name?" asked the first, taking Luigi totally off guard.
"M-uuhh..."
"Marco," Yoshi saved him. Luigi nodded vigorously.
"He's very handsome," the toadette admired. "Your wife must be very proud."
Luigi smiled awkwardly and kept moving.
"What do you expect me do, go in front of you telling people you're not a daddy?" Yoshi asked.
"I don't know!" Luigi picked up the pace, eager for the trip to end. Unfortunately the bumpy trip seemed like a ride to Mario. He started laughing and giggling and laughing and giggling until Luigi got concerned that he had hit his head or something.
"Maybe you should take the shirt off his head," Yoshi suggested.
"No way!" Luigi whispered.
"He thinks he's kart racing or something, I'm telling you," Yoshi said. "And if you keep acting so secretive about him, people will think you're kidnapping him!"
"Please, I have bigger issues. Oh, shut up, Mario!" Luigi screeched to a halt and snatched the first diaper box he saw. "Let's get out of here!"

On their way back home, they bumped into the same toad again.
"Hey Luigi, why are you buying diapers?"
"Um, science experiment!" He said, clutching the baby bundle close.
"So are you testing their absorbency? Or does it have to do with elasticity?" The toad wanted to know.
"Both! I've got a casserole in the oven and it's about to burn!" Luigi dashed away again. Yoshi laughed and ran after him.
The toad stopped and thought to himself a minute. "That Luigi is a pretty cool guy," he said.

When Yoshi and Luigi got home, Peach and Daisy were there waiting for them along with Blue and Yellow Toads. "We thought you could use some help taking care of your new baby," Peach said with a smile.
Luigi groaned. "Be my guest."
"We made him this baby bottle of warm milk," she explained. "Do you mind if I try feeding him? If I know Mario, he should be hungry."
"Good idea," Yoshi said, holding out the freshly diapered Mario. "He's all yours."
"Awww," Peach and Daisy sighed as soon as they saw him. Blue and Yellow Toad rolled their eyes at their oohs and ahs.
"I don't understand why now that Mario's the baby, he gets even more attention," Blue Toad grumped. "It's not like he does anything but sit there and dirty his diaper."
"What is it with these girls and babies, anyway?" Yellow Toad asked.
"Oh he's so adorable!" Daisy said, tickling his chin as Peach picked him up. They were pretty oblivious to the rest of the world now.
While Daisy gave him the bottle, which he chugged with the same eagerness Luigi recognized with the eggnog on Christmas morning, Peach cooed in his ear.
Luigi grumbled as he came to stand in a corner.
"What's the matter?" Yoshi asked.
"This isn't the Mario I know," he said. "I mean, he was always good with the girls, but not this much!"
Meanwhile Peach was murmuring things to him. "You're so sweet, you know that? I could just eat you up! Even without your facial hair."
Baby Mario looked up at her from under his oversized hat. He was still for a while.
She kissed his nose. Then she kissed his cheek. Then she kissed his other cheek. Luigi crossed his arms and snarled to himself.
Finally Peach stopped and looked at him with a sigh. "You're going to be a brave hero someday, you know?" she told him dreamily. "You'll be my handsome knight in shining armor!"
"Why, Peach! You've never said anything so honest to the real Mario!" Daisy exclaimed.
"Oh..." She put the baby down a little bashfully. "Yes I have. I...It's just easier to tell him when he's not a grown up. He only gets cuter as an adult and then when he looks at you...I could never say anything that serious."
"That's a little cruel, Peach."
Peach gave him one last hug and then hurried out of the room to answer the door which had just been knocked on.
Daisy brought the baby back to Luigi. Mario clapped his hands and reached for him.
"Well, he liked that," she said. "You'd better change his diaper now. See, he likes you!"
"What?! We just put it on!"
"Well, when's the last time you stopped to smell the oxygen?"
Suddenly Luigi cringed. "UGGH! What is IN there, the entire contents of the sewers of Brooklyn?" He tried to cover his nose but seemed to be failing.
"Yeah, I don't know what that is," Daisy said. "I guess milk really gets his engines going. Just fix it please. I know you can't stand a mess," she teased, twirling one end of his mustache.
Luigi was standing there looking kind of like chalk. "B-bu...buh buh buh...but it's making my eyes want to...cry! Can't you do it?"
"Gross!" Daisy replied. "Are you serious? I'm a princess! I can't change a boy's diaper!"
Yoshi agreed. "Yeah, Luigi, and I've changed my fair share too. I cleaned you, believe it or not, and I've had enough dirty baby dilemmas to last me a lifetime, thank you."
Blue Toad, who had been hanging out uselessly with Yellow Toad by the door, spoke up. "Yeah, and isn't he your brother?"
"You can stop pressing that point now!" Luigi said. He looked like he was being forced to sky dive at ten thousand feet without a parachute. Carefully, he took the baby and held him out in front of him, looking at him like a week old egg salad. He carried him out of the room to do the dirty deed. A minute later they heard him scream.
"OH MY GOSH!! MARIO THIS IS DIABOLICAL! AAGGGGGHH! MY EYES ARE BURNING! OH MY GOSH! I CAN'T BREATHE! THIS IS IT! I'M DONE! THIS IS THE END! HAVE IT RECORDED THAT LUIGI WENT TRYING TO CHANGE HIS TWENTY SIX YEAR OLD BROTHER'S DIAPER!!"
Everyone waiting looked at each other and tried to block it out.
"...no, Wario, that's unnecessary," Peach was saying from the front door. "Mario is doing just fine, thank you."
"Aw, come on, we just want to play with him," Wario said. "Can't you bring him outside? I've never gotten to play with a baby before!"
"I wonder why," Peach murmured to herself. "Oh, alright," she told him. "I'll bring him out."
Just then Luigi came up carrying Mario. He was covered in baby powder and looked like he'd just survived a lightning strike.
"Are you alright?" Peach asked in alarm as she set baby Mario down on the grass. Luigi coughed and shuddered in reply.
"Hey, I've got an idea!" Wario exclaimed. "Let's play catch with Mario! Waluigi will stand there and we'll be here! First one to drop him loses!"
"NO," Peach put her foot down. "What did Mario tell you?"
"Goo goo ga ga," Wario replied.
Peach was not amused. "Before that."
"Oh, forget it," Luigi said, shoving through them and picking Mario back up. "We're doomed to raise Mario as an infant all over again. And when he turns twenty seven...he'll be two." He looked at the baby and started to mope. "Oh Mario, why did you have to go? Don't leave me alone!" Tears started forming in his eyes.
"Ugh! Dude, you're both babies in my opinion!" Waluigi scowled.
Mario looked up at his brother with big sad eyes. He reached out a hand and touched his cheek, and the two stared at each other intently for a while, caught in some realization.
"This is really starting to agitate my stomach," Wario said. "I'm so glad I don't have an actual brother. It's way too dramatic and barfy if you ask me."
Baby Mario finally curled up and rested against Luigi's chest, beginning to snore. Luigi, surprised, gently stroked his back.
Peach was touched. "You see? That is your brother in there. We're going to fix this, Luigi," she said. Suddenly an idea hit her. "And I know exactly how."

"We're coming up on Bowser's castle!" Daisy called to the backseat.
Thirty minutes later, the whole gang was crammed into Mario's Mercedes on the way to see Kamek. Luigi and Peach sat in the back with Mario, and Yoshi was squeezed beside them on the floor. Blue and Yellow Toads were sharing the passenger's seat, and Wario and Waluigi were in the trunk playing jacks. No one really cared, either, except for Daisy who was driving.
"Do we have to bring them? They'll add seven hundred pounds to the load," she complained.
"Not to mention the stench," Luigi grumbled.
Luigi had found the keys to the car in Mario's 'special box', which was a little trinket on his desk which he had been forbidden to open. Luigi knew that all of Mario's juicy stuff was in there, but he hadn't had time to browse.
Nevertheless, the car was still too small for all of them. Mario had started crying shortly after the ride started, and he had been going nonstop ever since. Yoshi tried to entertain him with a rattle which was not proving very effective. He sat in Peach's lap, and she tried to sing him back to sleep. After she had worn out all the usual baby rhymes, Luigi had an idea.
"Hey Mario!" He said. "You wanna pacifier?"
"You have a pacifier?" Yoshi asked.
"Uh, well, yeah," he said, pulling it out. "I always kept one in case...Nevermind!" He shoved it in Mario's mouth.
It was instant heaven. Everyone relaxed.
"Well it's about time that loudmouth shut up," Wario said from the trunk. "I call it a suck-plug junkie."
"Nobody asked your opinion," Daisy announced.
"Can we listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd?" He asked.
"No."
When at last they arrived outside Bowser's castle, Kamek himself came out to them. "Hey! What are you scoundrels doing here?"
"Oh, we're just returning a little something," Peach said. "Luigi!"
Luigi, who was holding Mario, climbed out of the car. Kamek burst into laughter.
"Oh my gosh! Is that Mario? HAHAHAHA!!"
Luigi was shooting daggers with his eyes. "You will turn my brother back or else," he warned.
Kamek snorted. "Is that a threat? You're not scary enough to frighten a fly! And what, do you think you're some sort of Jedi, waving your hand around like that? Besides, King Bowser is gonna freak when he finds out!"
"He's not going to," Luigi said. "Change him now or you will suffer the consequences." Meanwhile Mario had reached up for his face and at that moment his hand found his mustache. He grabbed it and yanked down, hard.
"EEYAAAAAAAAH!!" Luigi shrieked so loud E. Gadd thought he must have been ghostbusting again. "MARIO!!! THAT IS OFF LIMITS!!"
Baby Mario let go, but only to take out his pacifier for a second. Then he spit up all over Luigi's shoulder.
Kamek burst into laughter. "No way man, this is way too good!!"
Luigi, staring horrified at the baby barf all over his clothes, didn't reply, so Peach smirked. "Three, two, one," she said, then plugged her ears.
Baby Mario started sputtering with disgust after throwing up and then started to sniff. Then the tears came.
"WAAAAAAHHHHHHAAAAAAAHHHHHWAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
Everyone covered their ears as the fit escalated, but it was no use - Mario was on a roll now. Luigi, still holding him, just joined in and started crying with him. For a minute everyone stood there staring at them. Finally Kamek cracked.
"AAAAHHHH! OKAY FINE! I CAN'T TAKE IT! JUST MAKE HIM SHUTUP!"
Luigi looked up. "Really?"
Then Peach remembered something. "Oh! Put his clothes back on him first!"
"Oh, right!" Luigi took Mario's clothes from the car and dressed the baby as best he could in them. He also stuck the pacifier in his mouth so they could hear themselves think again.
"Alright, wizard! Give my mustached brother back!" Luigi stepped back and crossed his arms.
Kamek nodded. "I can't be sure it'll work, but..." He took his wand and created a blast of magic. Everyone covered their eyes as it hit the baby in a burst of white. It was still for a moment.
Finally Luigi looked up...and slumped to the ground in defeat. Mario was still a baby.
"It...it failed." He closed his eyes and began quietly sobbing into his arm.
Everyone standing around watching felt a sorrow settle over them. For a minute all was quiet, almost like a funeral.
"Oh well, I guess it wasn't meant to be," Wario finally said, grinning. Daisy punched him.
Peach was standing with her head in her hands. "Oh...my Mario," she whispered, taking out a tiny photograph she carried of him that had been taken a while back. He was artfully leaning on a fence, his mustache groomed to perfection and his glowing eyes looked knowingly at the viewer. It was almost too much.
Luigi was still on the ground sobbing quietly. Everyone gave him a moment of silence, even Wario and Waluigi, who were smiling at each other stupidly.
Then suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder. A big hand.
Luigi sat up and sniffed. Slowly his eyes grew wide. "Mario!"
He turned and grabbed Mario's neck, taking him to the ground. Everyone standing around stared in disbelief as Luigi squeezed Mario till he was about to pop.
"Oh Mario! Never do that to me again!" He scolded, kissing his head over and over.
"Aaagghh! Easy Luigi!" Mario cried, but to no avail. He was nearly suffocated to death by Luigi's affectionate attacks, trying several times to push him off. "What are you doing? I'm not a baby!"
Luigi finally let him go and giggled. "Well...not anymore you're not."
Mario frowned and looked around. Then he saw the pacifier in his hand. "Uhh...what's going on?"
Wario and Waluigi were sitting there looking so upset they wanted to cry. Peach ran up to him and took his hand. "Oh Mario, I'm so glad you're back!"
"Back? WHAT are you guys talking about?" Then he spotted Kamek, who had been watching the whole time. "What are we doing here?"
Everyone looked at each other for a second. Then Luigi grabbed a small guitar from his bag of holding and took a seat in an invisible chair. Then he closed his eyes and started to play.
"You see we got the power to turn back time
Press the button and rewind
Went back before you grew facial hair
When you were stinking our world with poopy air
Oohh, that's the power to turn back time."
"Boy, that was a lovely song," Yoshi said.
Mario looked more weirded out than ever. "Are...are you saying...?"
Everyone standing around started to giggle. Luigi came over and took the pacifier from him. "You owe me a new shirt."
"What?" He looked Luigi over. "What's on yours?"
Luigi crossed his arms, peeved. "You puked on it."
Mario turned a little red. Everyone started laughing louder.
Luigi elbowed him. "Don't worry, I'm the only one who changed your diaper."
Mario stood there speechless as people finally burst into full out laughter. Luigi pulled his head into a hug. "Oh Mario, you'll always be my little big bro to me. But listen up, I'm not gonna play daddy in the grocery store anymore."
Mario pulled away. "Uhh..."
Peach smiled and came over to him. "Hey big boy, you can drive us home," she told him. "It is your car, after all."
Mario's face was mingled anger and embarrassment. "Uh, thanks."
Wario and Waluigi by now had started laughing their heads off. "Ha! You were such a crybaby!"
"Yeah! Babies! They always cry," Waluigi agreed.
"Well, he's much more of a man than you are," Daisy muttered.
Mario looked ready to slug somebody until Peach grabbed his shoulder strap and kissed his cheek. Mario's eyebrows shot up in surprise and all was forgotten.
Wario and Waluigi's jaws hit the ground. After a moment of shocked silence Peach let him go and giggled, "You were saying, boys?"

Aww;) Welp, what goes around comes around and all that, I guess. Sorry this one took kinda long; been on vacation. You know you always wanted to know what it'd be like if Luigi and the gang had to raise a baby...and the baby was Mario no less! This one was a simple idea that was a lot of fun to work with.
As you probably know, the whole Yoshi baby thing is from the Yoshi's Island series, back when Yoshi was a babysitter. The comment about Rosalina being a witch is actually a nod to Super Mario Galaxy, when a member of the Toad Brigade worries about that possibility. And yes, all you retro gamers, Luigi really did mention the sewers of Brooklyn. (Coughcough*Mario Bros*coughcough) And about their age. At first he was created middle aged, but Mario was stated in the Japanese version of Super Smash Bros. Melee to be twenty six years old. And he certainly doesn't look very old; Luigi is probably about the same age. That seems like a pretty reliable source if you ask me! And just a fun fact, Luigi's calling Mario his 'little big bro' is something from Nintendo lore; I think it was one of the old cartoons.
As for Mario's special box and why Luigi carries a pacifier, for now you will just have to guess about them...and that song Luigi sang is based off this commercial. Warning: it may get stuck in your head.

Okay that was long! Speaking of which, what do you guys think of the length of the stories? Are they too long? Good? Just let me know. They kinda feel long if you ask me.
Anyhoo, signing out for now!
