_______________________
A bunny runs through the forest area of the Mario World, panting lightly as it ran. It eventually stops at a log and hides in it. A short while later, a turtle runs through the forest, looking for the bunny. It eventually comes to a stop at the log that the bunny is hiding in.
"Mario! I know you're here!" The turtle shouted.
The bunny puts its paw hands over its mouth to prevent itself from laughing at the turtle's show.
"Come on, Mario! Come on out!" The turtle said.
The turtle then looks around the forest area. It looks under some hedges and behind a boulder but the bunny isn't hiding in any of those places. Suddenly, some bushes start to shake. A smirk appears on the turtle's face and the bunny smirks as well. The turtle lurks to the bushes and takes a big leap into them.
"Gotcha, Mario!" The turtle shouted.
"Ouch! Luigi!" A voice cried.
"Are you OK, Baxter?" Another voice said.
"Yeah, Molly! Just a bump!" The first voice replied.
"Something landed on my back!" Another voice said with a honk.
Four animals step out of the bushes. The first animal is a turtle named Luigi, the second animal is a flying squirrel named Baxter, the third animal is a hummingbird named Molly and the fourth animal is an Ostro named Ostro. Normally, Molly is beside Baxter but today, she is on Baxter's shoulder.
"What are you doing, Luigi?" Ostro asked.
"Me and Mario are playing hide and seek! I know he's around here somewhere! I can smell him!" The turtle answered as he glanced around the forest area.
The bunny, Mario, hops out of the log and stands silently behind the group.
"Just because you know that I'm around here doesn't mean you were going to find me, Luigi!" Mario told Luigi.
Luigi, Ostro, Baxter and Molly all jumped in surprise, quickly turning around.
"Mud ball attack!!" Luigi said as he starts to throw mud balls at Mario.
"Woah!!!!!!!" Mario said in fear, seeing the mud balls flying towards him.
Mario dodges most of the mud balls by weaving left and right but a few came at him in a zigzag pattern that no one is able to dodge. The red-clad bunny covers his ears and the mud balls hit him, splashing some mud on him.
"Nice one, Luigi! You nearly got me there!" Mario said as he brushes the mud off his ears. 
Deeming his ears clean of anything muddy, Mario puts them back up.
"Sorry!" Luigi apologized.
"Nah! It's alright! I probably should've had scared you like that!" Mario said.
"Well, why do you keep doing it?" Baxter asked.
"Because it's fun to see your reactions!" Mario playfully said before giving a small laugh.
Shortly afterward, Lily and Lilligant walk towards the group.
"Oh! Hey, Lily and Lilligant! What's up?" Mario asked happily, seeing Lily and Lilligant.
"Lily lost her tiara and we don't know where it is!" Lilligant said.
"Have you checked everywhere in the underground castle?" Mario asked.
"We already did but we still can't find it!" Lily said. "Will you guys help me and Lilligant find my tiara?" She then asked.
"Sure thing, Lily!" Mario happily said.
Mario hops onto Luigi's back.
"Ride the wind, Luigi!" Mario ordered.
"Waaa! Bro! Have you been going into Mamma's Italian stash again?" Luigi asked, surprised by Mario's weight.
"I just can't help myself! The pasta she keeps in the fridge tastes so good!" Mario confessed.
"Well, you can ride Ostro because I can't keep giving you turtleback rides if you weigh as much as Captain Toad!" Luigi said.
"*sigh* Fine! I'll ride Ostro!" Mario said sadly as he hops off of Luigi's back.
Mario hops onto Ostro and the gang go look for Lily's tiara.
