Mario: You can't do this to me! I've done nothing wrong!

Tonai: How dare you say that after insulting the highest authority of all, Master Miyamoto!

Vinai: The worst forgivable crime is offending Sirs Iwata, Fil-Aimes, Kondo, Totaka, Aonuma, or Sakurai. But Master Miyamoto? That sin is absolutely unforgivable! It results in torture, life in prison, or even a death sentence!

Mario: But-

Tonai: Stay silent, Mr. Mario. We have arrived at our destination.

Mario/Tonai/Vinai: *enter the court*

Vinai: We have brought the subject, sir.

Boss Pianta: Excellent. You two are certainly more responsible than my previous assistants.

Mario: *notices Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, Toad, Toadette, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Wario, Waluigi, Rosalina, and Spike in the audience*

Boss Pianta: So Mario, you show up again? What did you get yourself into now?

Mario: *is too nervous to speak*

Tonai/Vinai: He was badmouthing Master Miyamoto, sir.

Mario: *gulps*

Flashback Toad: *blows a raspberry*

Everyone: *enters flashback*

Mario: You see, Nintendo? This is what happens when Daisy doesn't get an amiibo!

Flashback Toad: *blows a raspberry*

Everyone: *exits flashback*

Boss Pianta: Well, Mario... I'm sure my assistants have already told you how grave such a crime is.

Mario: But all I said was-

Boss Pianta: I don't need any lawyers to support my case. And you don't have any defendants to support yours. So I will skip all the technicals and just proclaim your sentence. Your sentence is execution-

Peach: Objection!

Luigi: Just because Mario insulted the highest authority of our universe, death should not be the answer!

Daisy: Have pity!

Donkey Kong: We'll pay you a banana fine!

Spike: *waves arms frantically*

Boss Pianta: QUIET DOWN! I will see to it that your wish is granted in exchange for you all shutting up.

Peach: Great! Now let Mario go-

Boss Pianta: Ah-ah. *clucks tongue* We will not let him go. However, we won't kill him either. He needs to learn the gravity of the situation. So a lifetime in prison ought to knock some sense into him! Now take him away.

Mario: *is dragged away from the court by Tonai and Vinai*

Boss Pianta: Case closed. You are all dismissed. *leaves the court*

Daisy: *once everyone has left* This is outrageous!!! Mario shouldn't be in trouble for wanting the authorities to make me an amiibo!

Rosalina: Don't speak so loudly. There are cameras here.

Luigi: Well, what can we do? I won't tolerate just hanging around, letting my brother be imprisoned for the rest of his life.

Peach: As a royal, I shouldn't be saying this but... We're sneaking Mario out of jail.
