Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga: Unofficial Novelization

Give me coins

"As long as you have a map, you'll feel safer in foreign lands, right?" the hammer bro said.

He then went back into the building. Mario and Luigi decided to sort of check the map out. From what they could tell, they were far from Beanbean Castle.

The Mario Bros eventually found Bowser inside a cannon upside down with his behind sticking out. The cannon he is in resembles a Bill Blaster. Mario is surprised and so he jumps on Bowser's behind a few times and then the cannon turns over and Bowser's head sticks out. Mario and Luigi are surprised and wonder how Bowser must've gotten in the cannon.

"Hey! Mario!!! Great timing! I could use a hand here! I'm kind of ...stuck. Look keep your diet jokes to yourself! They're not funny! Just get me out of here!!!" Bowser said.

Then a green round dragon dropped on the ground to the left of the Beanbean Kingdom.

"Nyeck nyeck nyeck!!!" The strange creature said with a creepy smile. "Why, could it be that Bowser, the great Koopa King, has fallen into my cannon?!? Nyeck! How amusing!"

"Wh-Who dares speak to me so?" Bowser asked angrily.

"Nyeck nyeck nyeeeck! I am Tolstar, the great and famed king of Stardust Fields!" Tolstar said.

Mario and Luigi both wondered if Tolstar is supposed to be famous then why have they not heard of him.

"I've heard tales of you," Tolstar said continuing. "But you aren't very impressive in person! Nyeeeck nyeck nyeck!"

Bowser got very angry again.

"Nyeck nyeck! If you want me to get him out of there, little people, you must pay in coins! I will set him free... For ALL of your coins!!! And I'll even keep this most embarrassing incident a secret!" Said Tolstar with a grin.

Wh-What?!? THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!" Bowser yelled while crying.

Mario thought that was a good trade, so he jumped up and down to signal he was good with that.

"Pardon me? I'm not sure I heard you correctly just now! You'll give me all 119 of your coins?" Tolstar asked.

Mario gave a bag that contained all of him and Luigi's coins. He figured Tolstar could free Bowser and then they could all stop Cackletta. But Tolstar cackled a few seconds later.

"Nyeck nyeck nyeeeck! Why, these are Mushroom Kingdom coins, aren't they? This is the BEANBEAN Kingdom! ... I suppose I'll have to calculate their value in the local currency!" Tolstar said.

Mario wondered how Tolstar would do that since he didn't have anything on him.

Tolstar pulled out a calculator and began punching in numbers.

"Let's see... At today's exchange rate... 119 Mushroom Kingdom coins... are worth 10 Beanbean coins! Well, sorry, but for only 10 coins I can't guarantee this secret won't slip out! Nyeck nyeck! ...Yes that means I'll need an additional 100 Beanbean coins!!! Go find them in Stardust Fields and bring them back to me! Then I'll help your Koopa King!

Tolstar then hops on the ground and a bridge on the right appears.

"Oh, and don't think about fighting me, I'm too powerful for you!" Tolstar warned.

Mario and Luigi look around for places to get coins and finally get 70 of them. But they drop off a ledge and can't get back up. The Mario Bros then find an area with a giant star in the middle surrounded by rocks. They walk on it and get off it once it rumbles. Two toads with mustaches, army uniforms, and sunglasses come out. One is red the other is green and they are standing on top of one another. Mario and Luigi step back in fear.
