[STORY]________________________________________________________

Once upon a time, there was a peaceful world called Sarasaland. In this world
there were 4 kingdoms named Birabuto, Muda, Easton, and Chai. One day, the
skies of Sarasaland were suddenly covered by a huge black cloud. From a crack
in this cloud, the unknown space monster Tatanga emerged to try to conquer
Sarasaland. Tatanga hypnotized the people of all the kingdoms so that he
could control them in any way he liked. In this way he took over Sarasaland.
Now, he wants to marry Princess Daisy of Sarasaland and make her his queen.
Mario came to know these events, and has started on a journey to the Chai
Kingsom where Princess Daisy is held captive, in order to restore peace to
Sarasaland.
Can Mario defeat Tatanga, release the people from his insterstellar hypnosis,
and resuce Princess Daisy? It's all up to you and Mario's skill. Go for it
