The Dry Cleaning Department

***"Also, I had a crazy theory about how Mario is in a coma..."***

**Parts of this article are based on speculation.**
They are not considered an official part of the *Book of Mario* lore. These story elements are theoretical.

**The Dry Cleaning Department** was Colorade's original business that eventually went under due to a lack of funds. It is also a cult/terrorist organization. Possible affiliates include Colorade, Corporate, Bowler, Muststafs, Merleau, Nadiya, the Killers, and Sushiya.

## History

It is unclear whether or not it was originally intended to be a criminal organization, but it certainly ended up that way. Corporate was most likely involved from the very start, possibly even being the one to start it in the first place. Over the years, Corporate and Colorade committed many horrible crimes, including the ones that haunt him to this day, gained total control of Dry Dry Dry, and caused the total cultural collapse of Caeau Blodaua. They also recruited many members, including Bowler, who was their original finance manager, Muststafs, who eventually took charge of the entire company, and Sushiya, who was their original main drug dealer. The Killers that inhabit Dry and Dry are also likely linked back to them.

Eventually, the Dry Cleaning Department was running low on money, and Bowler, realizing in advance that the company was doomed, ran away to Benteng Coop Notes. When they were entirely out, Corporate kidnapped Colorade and they both settled down in Koopa City. However, the Dry Cleaning Department still remained in the faint shadows of Dry Dry Dry, where Muststaffs had taken charge.

Eventually, around the time of Section 2, Muststaffs contacted Colorade, informing him that the Dry Cleaning Department still lives, and discussed the possibility of bringing it back by stealing the ancient treasures from Dry too Dry and selling them for funds. However, this plan did not work out, but once again the Dry Cleaning Department was still remaining in the dark alleyways of Dry Dry Dry.

Somewhere around Section 4, Sushiya heard about the failed plan to restart the Dry Cleaning Department, and again contacted Colorade about the treasures they could steal from Matt Lava. With the help of Mario and the Bicycle, Colorade was able to reach Iceland, and Sushiya hooked him up with some good-old-fashioned meth before they both set out into the jungle.

After Colorade sells the treasure from Matt Lava, it is implied that the Dry Cleaning Department would rise up once again.

## Email

The Dry Cleaning Department Emails Bowler about a bombing event, and possibly the assassination of Raphaela Gavranasa. The email goes as follows...

*Dear Madame Bombay!*

*This letter was written as a request for humbleness and dedication that all Inspectors Bob deserve. It has been a long time, but this year we need to open a new dry train. We believe this event will be a happy event if we help you with the bombing. The raven likes fireworks! We will contact you in any case when your adventure is complete to confirm the date.*

*Honestly, The Dry Cleaning Department*

## Trivia

* It is possible that the Dry Cleaning Department was responsible for the attack on Chomps, the volunteer center.

* It is also possible that, during his time as a police officer, Paul was involved in the first fall of the Dry Cleaning Department. This is further reinforced by the fact that Paul knows that Little Mickie hid the dry casket and the dry particles, and that Muststafs knows how to get dry cleaning.
