Mario had of course been in the arena with Ingish, having come through an old green pipe. Just before the gates had opened, Mario had crushed a stone block and a mushroom popped out and began sliding down the hall. As any dwarf would, Mario chased after the mushroom.
By the time he had come back to the other end of the arena Ingish was dead. "Mamma mia, you killed Luigi!" cried Mario. "I mean Ingish!" Mario raised his hammer as the cheering crowd banged on the glass. "I'm a gonna break a your face! Let's a go!"
With that Mario charged, and jumped over the Beast of Microcline. But there was no golden axe!!! Mario had never been in a fight like this. He jumped over the blue monster again, hoping to find a little golden axe to chop down a bridge so that the blue beast could fall into magma. But again, there was nothing. He then realized there was no bridge. Or magma.
"Hey! What kind of a mushroom kingdom
is this?!" cried Mario in despair.
It was then the Spinmountains lunged forward and bit Mario's right arm off. He began gushing blood.
"Oh no! I only have a the one up!" Mario swung his hammer with his remaining hand, trying to keep the monster away. slowly, he began losing strength. There was a pool of blood. He was fading.
"Mamma mia!" he whimpered.
And there he fell naked and dead at Spinmountains feet while his friends watched and cheered merrily.
Those italians man....maybe it was all the red and green mushrooms he put on his pasta, or maybe it was the fiery-hot flower-spiced Italian sausages....but Mario's corpse really stank the arena up something awful.
