One night, I was awakened by the sound of distant thunder. As I opened my eyes, I looked outside the window. It was raining heavily. The thunder was so noisy. I couldn't sleep anymore. Therefore, I played my favourite NDS game “Super Mario”. When I switched on the NDS, I saw a sentence on the screen.
“Do you want to come to my world and save me?
From Princess Peach.”
I doubted.“Are you talking to me?” I asked through the microphone in NDS. “Sure! Paul, I need your help. You will be Mario in my world. Come on!” Oh! My favourite games character Princess Peach talked to me! It was unbelievable!
“I will be Mario and save my lovely princess! She may marry me afterward… Wow!” I thought. Therefore, I pressed the “Yes” button. Suddenly, a strong vortex drew me into the NDS and then I fainted…
When I woke up, I found myself in a very colourful place.
“It's Mario's World. It looks more realistic than on the NDS screen. It was fantastic!” I shouted.
There were many plants and the weather was good too. However, I was so small, as small as a flower. I touched my face, there was a big nose and a curly beard. I touched my head. There was a cap with an “M” sign. I looked at my clothes, it was red in colour. “I am Mario now!” I beamed so glad and excited.
I ran along the road. I saw some blocks which had the question-mark signs on it. I jumped and collided the block as usual. However, I used my own head this time. It was painful! Then, a red mushroom came out. I ate it and my body became bigger!
Suddenly, a brown mushroom monster came. “Oh! It's easy to kill the monster.” I laughed. I tried to jump onto the monster's head and kill him with my feet.
“Arr! Why is it so difficult to kill? Why is it different from the NDS game?” I got hurt and became smaller again.
I kept going carefully. I saw a monster turtle. He ran towards me and attacked me. I was so scared. I ran as quickly as I could but he kept chasing after me.
“Oh! I am going to die! What could I do?” I cried.
“Don't be scared, my dear! Go down into the green tunnel and you will be saved! Be quick!” I heard the princess' voice. So, I went down the tunnel immediately.
In the tunnel, there were many coins. I collected 100 coins. Then, a flower came out. I ate the flower and my clothes became white. “Wow! I have a gun now! I can kill the monsters by shooting them!” I laughed . I became braver.
The destination of the tunnel was the castle. It was the final stage of the game. At that stage, there were many volcanoes and lavas. I saw a man who wore a cap which had an “L” sign, with a green shirt and a big beard. He looked like me but he was thinner than me.
“ Hello ! I am Luigi. Where are you going to?” he asked.
“ I am going to the castle to save the princess. Do you know where the castle is ?” I replied.
“Save the princess? Are you coming from the real world?” I nodded my head.
“The princess is a very bad girl. She cheats the children to the game world and forces them to become her slaves!” Luigi continued.
“My lovely princess won't cheat me. Maybe Luigi is jealous of me. I won't believe him. I must save my princess!” I thought. Then, I continued my adventure.
When I arrived at the castle, a girl who wore pink dress with golden hair came out and she welcomed me.
“Oh! My Mario! You kept your promise. Thank You for coming! You are my hero!” Princess Peach yelled. I was so happy and gave a kiss to the princess.
Suddenly, the princess turned into Monster Bowser who was huge and with big thorns on his carapace. I wanted to run away but he quickly caught me.
“It's too late. You will be my slave and live here forever. Ha ha ha…” Bowser laughed.
“No! No! No! I don't want to stay here! Help me !” I shouted.
“If you want to leave here, you must kill me. However, I am stronger than you. I don't think you can! Ha ha!” Bowser beamed.
I was angry. I wanted to fire him but he moved quickly. He rushed to me. I was hurt by him and became smaller again.
“I won't give up! Come on, Paul! You can do it!” I encouraged myself. I jumped onto his head and hit his eyes.
“Oh my eyes! You are so cunning!” he yelled. After hitting him for three times, Bowser lay down on the floor.
“I win! I can go back to my world!” I grinned.
“Bee…bee…” I heard the sound from NDS. “Your NDS was in low battery. Although you defeated me, you still can't leave here! Then, you’ll be one of the characters in this game. Ha ha…” Bowser whispered.
“What can I do? I have already tried my best. I want to go home…” I cried loudly. Luigi came out with a big mushroom.
“Don't worry, my brother! Let's have the big mushroom! “Luigi said.
“Thank you! You are really my clearest brother. I won't forget your help!” I ate the mushroom and became huge Mario. It was bigger than the screen of NDS, so I broke the screen and went back to the real world successfully.
I went back to my room. It was 8 am.
“I'm save! I'm really save! Thank You Luigi! I am so glad that you come.” “What's matter? Your voice woke me up! Oh! Why is your NDS broken? Should I buy a new one for you?” mother asked.
“No…no thanks! I won't go to this horrible place forever! I mean…I won't play NDS anymore!” I replied quickly. “Really? My son, that's good news!” my mother smiled.
