S1 E1: The Terror Begins

== Plot Summary ==
In this first episode, Mario is not the Mario we know.
The episode opens with a very bleak depiction of a young man being harshly scolded and severely beaten by who is assumed to be his alcoholic step-father.
After several savage lashes and immense physical abuse, the unnamed child crawls into his bed before his step-father smothers him with a pillow, drenches his bed in alcohol and then sets the house aflame.
Suddenly, our perspective shifts to Mario. He was just recently born within Peach's castle (under the rule of Peach's mother and father at that time) and is under the care of loving and sexy mother, Pauline. He's raised to be a strange but heroic portly Italian man by the start of the series. Some notable characters grow up with him during this time skip, notably Luigi his brother and childhood crush Princess Peach.
This episode mainly consists of Mario getting to know the world and its rules. This also establishes Mario's signature weapons, the Dual Dookie Defilers.
