Prologue:
The Brothers Mario led lives of adventure and peril, from the very begining. On their way to the home of their parents, Mario and Luigi were intercepted by the Koopa Klan's mightiest warlock, Kamek. Kamek forsaw a future where the Turtle Tribe would crumble before two mighty brothers--our very own Mario and Luigi, and knew the only way to stop this would be to find and destroy the two heroes at birth. While the wicked magikoopa managed to snatch up young Luigi, he lost hold of baby Mario, who plummeted towards the open sea, to an almost certain death. For whatever reason, call it fate, call it luck, call it karma, Mario managed to land safely on the back of an errant Yoshi. Sustaining, at the absolute worst, a dirty diaper and a bit of indigestion.
Kamek returned to his fortress deep within the Koopa Kingdom only to find that he missed half of his bounty. Furious, he roared at his trio of toadies to scour the world for this infamous infant.
Meanwhile, the fateful Yoshi hauled young Mario back to the tribe of Yoshies, to come to some sort of decision as to what to do with this incredibly lucky child. One Yoshi noted baby Mario pointing and gesturing to a point off beyond the sunny horizon. The Yoshies agreed that there was some sort of connection between this baby from the sky and the far-off place he seemed to be obsessing over. So, utilizing an ingenious Pony Express-style system, the Yoshies braved all odds to reunite baby Mario and his green-capped twin, Luigi. After trekking across the hazardous terrain of Yoshi's Island and deep into the dark, deadly heart of the Koopa Kingdom, one plucky green Yoshi defeated the young Koopa King. . . Bowser. From that day on, the Koopa Klan declared revenge on the Mario Brothers, and their "d@mned Yoshi accomplices."
The twins were finally delivered to their parents, Maria and Mario Senior. Mario and Luigi were also introduced to their older brother, Wario. Despite being a bit on the ugly side, Maria and Mario Sr. loved Wario, lavishing much affection towards him. But soon after the Mario twins arrived, Wario became neglected by his parents. And young Mario loved to play tricks on little Wario. Wario, no older than four years old, wasn't able to realize that Mario was just an infant, and didn't know any better. So, fed up with his family, Wario ran away with tears in his eyes. What happened to Wario during his time away from home is shrouded in mystery, but one thing is for sure, his hatred for Mario blossomed into an obsession. . . Wario hated Mario from the bottom of his heart, and would do anything to show him up.
The Mario Bros. were still only babies when Maria and Mario Sr. started receiving death threats from the Turtle Tribe. Finally, with heavy hearts, the Mario parents sent their last two sons into a warp pipe.
Luckily, that pipe led to an orphanage in Brooklyn, where the Mario Brothers would grow up, and live their lives. . . until now.
