Chapters[edit]

Stage 1[edit]

Super Mario-kun Volume 8 chapter 1 cover

マムーからのしょうたいじょう!! サブコン世界ワールドとつにゅう!! (Wart's invitation!! Entering the Subcon Kingdom!!)

After having dealt withMouser and thePhanto (fromvolume 6 chapter 6),Mario,Luigi,Yoshi and the new party memberBirdo take a break inBowser's Castle. Mario falls asleep and has a nightmare in which his friends have turned into monsters, before they all are eaten by a large worm. Mario wakes up in Birdo's snout and his screams wake his friends up, which reveals that they had nightmares too. Birdo recognizes this as the work of one of her boss's minions:Pidgit. In fact, a Pidgit appears, holding a message from the King of Nightmares himself,Wart: he has invited Mario and his friends toSubcon, but Mario refuses, not having the time to, and kicks Pidgit down from hisFlying Carpet. Angry, Pidgit orders the carpet to kidnap them and creates a portal to Subcon, disappearing with the heroes.Bowser is informed of the disappearance of Mario and his group and laughs, butPrincess Peach starts crying and whining, throwing everything at Bowser and his minions.

Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Birdo are dropped on a Subcon hill. Behind the hill, the giant head of Wart appears, challenging them to defeat the rest of his troop, save theSubcons and get out of there alive. Mario accepts, tossing Yoshi towards Wart, which is revealed to be a cardboard cutout. Pidgit disappears and an army ofSnifits arrives. The Snifits attack them and Birdo suggests Mario to use the Subconvegetables as weapons to defeat Wart's army. Mario and Luigi try to find any vegetable in the ground, but the Snifits reveal that Wart removed them by making his minions uproot them before their arrival. Mario then uses another plan to get rid of the enemies and, wearing hischef clothes, tosses someYoshi Cookies to create aBlind formation and distance themselves from the Snifits.

Continuing on their path, Mario is attacked by a blood-suckingTweeter which sucks so much from Mario, that all that is left of him ishis doctor persona. Luigi notices the Snifits coming, having destroyed the wall, but Mario locates aRed Shell inside a rock with his stethoscope. Mario grabs the shell, attaches two rocket pills to it and, riding it with his friends, runs over and defeats the Snifits. The Red Shell then crashes into a wall and, while everyone recovers, Mario turns back into his normal persona.

Stage 2[edit]

Super Mario-kun Volume 8 chapter 2 cover

ピラミッドのわな!! ガプチョは路上ストリート戦士ファイター!? (Pyramid trap!! Tryclyde is a street fighter!?)

Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Birdo are traversing theSubcon desert. While the Mario Bros. are dying from the heat and thirst, Yoshi and Birdo are enjoying themselves somePokeys to suck and eat. Luigi notices a vending machine and runs towards it, only to find himself sinking inquicksand. Yoshi decides to "do something" and plants a warning sign near the quicksand and, by the time Mario has yelled at him for being useless, Luigi has already sunk to his demise. Birdo looks closely at the vending machine and destroys it, revealing aCobrat inside. The Cobrat launches at them, but Yoshi eats him.

More Cobrats appear around them, popping from the nearbyJars. Mario asks Yoshi to eat them all, but he is full from all the Pokeys (plus the fact that he does not like the Cobrats' taste), so Birdo tries to defeat them with hereggs, but the snakes eat them. Two Cobrats bite and paralyze Birdo and Yoshi, while a third one whips Mario, causing him to fall into a jar, in which he finds aPOW Block that he uses to defeat the Cobrats.

Yoshi, fully recovered from the paralysis, notices a pyramid and the three head to it, but Birdo trips and sinks in quicksand as well. Inside the pyramid, Mario and Yoshi sit on some blocks, but theShy Guys underneath raise the blocks and toss the two heroes inside aMask Gate, leading them intoTryclyde's lair. Mario and Yoshi face Tryclyde, a three-headed Cobrat with the central head being large and cruel, one clever and one doltish. The clever head starts to bicker with the doltish one, so the cruel head bites them, hurting himself (since he has the pain receptors in his part of the body).

Mario and Yoshi try to take advantage of this bickering and flee, but the heads burn them with fire-breath, followed by the doltish head grabbing Yoshi, though he manages to trick the head and escapes. Mario and Yoshi are then hit by a serpentineHadouken, but Luigi, wearing aFrog Suit, emerges from the ground, revealing that he survived and has found aMagical Potion. The doltish head grabs the potion, but Yoshi tricks it again and the potion falls on Mario's head. Mario'sLife Gauge is refilled and, with a new-found power, Mario overpowers Tryclyde tossingMushroom Blocks at him and kills him. Birdo also emerges from the ground and is scared seeing that Tryclyde's lifeless body fell on her.

Stage 3[edit]

Super Mario-kun Volume 8 chapter 3 cover

キャシーす!? ヨッシーいかりのもうこうげき!! (Birdo dies!? Yoshi's angry onslaught!!)

The party has reachedWorld 3 and Mario and Luigi are not getting enough of seeing Yoshi and Birdo getting along so well, basically a couple. From the sky, Yoshi sees somekashiwa mochi falling and, about to eat it, Birdo shoves him away, having recognized the trap. She manages to save Yoshi, but in doing so, Birdo dies in a following explosion due to somebombs hidden in the mochi. Mouser, the mind behind that trap, appears from behind a rock and gets ready to strike on Mario, but Yoshi, literally fuming with rage for the loss of Birdo, pounces on him.

First, he uses the Yoshi Cookies to make aPanic formation, making his face soft and malleable, then Yoshi tries with aSlave formation, but misses Mouser. Luigi resorts to punching Yoshi in the head to calm him down and makes him reflect on his next move. A bump appears on Yoshi's head as does on Mario: the Slave formation hits him, so now Mario and Yoshi are bound to do the same exact action and feel the same things. Combining his fire breath attack with Mario's, Yoshi destroys Mouser.

Yoshi celebrates and Mario is finally free from the Slave connection, but another boss appears:Fryguy, who followed Mouser, sure about his imminent failure. Yoshi uses the Slave formation again and this time actually hits the target. Now immobilized by the attack, since Yoshi is not moving, Fryguy remains powerless while Mario urinates on Yoshi, wetting both him and Fryguy. Fryguy seems defeated, but he just divides himself into four Small Fry Guys. After getting burned by them, the trio makes a run for it towards a body of water, but once inside, much to their fear, they discover that it is a pot with broth, and the Fry Guys are boiling them in.

When all hope seems lost, the sky suddenly cracks and a hole appears from whichToad and Birdo, riding a flyingWhale, come out, crushing the four Small Fry Guys. Mario and Luigi hugs Toad for his classical timely aid, while Yoshi runs to Birdo, asking her how can she be still alive: Birdo reveals that she is not the same Birdo they started the journey with, but one of her twin sisters, the one fromWorld 4.

Stage 4[edit]

Super Mario-kun Volume 8 chapter 4 cover

きょうてきチョッキーしゅうげん!! ポリゴンSTシューティングしょう!! (Strong enemy Clawgrip appears!! ST Polygonal game!!)

AtWart's Castle, the Nightmare King is getting worried: Mario and his group are getting closer and closer to his base, and they are winning the challenge he started. One last general has remained on his side:Clawgrip. After magically summoning him (alongside the bathtub in which he was), Wart sends him to stop Mario. Meanwhile, thanks to the flying Whale, Mario, Luigi, Toad and Yoshi have reachedWorld 7, but before they can reach the castle, Yoshi starts eating the clouds and, gaining more and more weight, the Whale cannot go on anymore and abruptly lands. Having to proceed on foot, the party leaves the tired out Whale behind.

An army ofSparks slides towards them, but Mario makes Yoshi eat one of them, and he becomesSpark Yoshi. Using him against the incoming Sparks, the party reaches the end of thelevel, where their path is blocked by Clawgrip, who hits Yoshi with aboulder, making him lose his transformation. Clawgrip starts tossing more boulders, but ends up hitting the Shy Guys instead of the heroes. Mario makes fun of him, angering Clawgrip, who starts spinning, tossing boulders left and right. Asmall heart appears and Mario grabs it and shapes it like aboomerang, then uses it to hit Clawgrip, cutting his claws off.

The heroes celebrate, but Clawgrip is not finished yet and transforms into a polygonalAndross-like version of himself, a transformation given to him by Wart. Clawgrip starts spitting boulders at them, but Toad finds aRocket, and they all jump in it. Yoshi finds some rockets and Mario launches them at Clawgrip, but the rocket bounces off the boss. Clawgrip then starts to inhale them inside his mouth, but the Mini Rocket, bumping up and down, hits his nose, breaking him into pieces. It appears that Wart did not use a very strong glue for the Andross form and the Rocket hit the most sensitive part of the whole structure. In his defense, Wart blames it on the company that sold him the glue.

Stage 5[edit]

Super Mario-kun Volume 8 chapter 5 cover

けっせんマムーじょう!! スロットマシーンでうんだめし!? (Battle at Wart's Castle!! No luck with slot machines!?)

The heroes have reached Wart's Castle. After having a quick snack, the heroes enter the palace, while Wart and his Pidgit assistant are watching all their actions. The heroes arrive at the throne anteroom but, as soon as Mario tries to enter theMask Gate, the latter attempts to chew Mario. The Mask Gate then flies and plunges at the heroes. Yoshi is eaten by the Mask Gate and, while struggling to not get chewed, Mario tosses at him a Mushroom Block Toad found in the room. The Mushroom Block lands right into Yoshi's mouth, transforming him intoKinoko Block Yoshi, becoming thick enough to block the Mask Gate's beak. With the problem out of the way, the heroes enter the Mask Gate without the risk of being chewed.

The four end up in Wart's throne room and the final battle begins. Mario kicks away Pidgit and tosses Luigi at Wart. He then grabs a bunch of vegetables and, following the instruction manual, where it is written that the "greens" are Wart's weaknesses (the reason why he tossed Luigi, before), and tosses them at him. Surprisingly, though, Wart eats the vegetables with no problem: in order to be healthy, he overcame his dislike for greens. Being out of plans, Mario suggests running away, but the party is trapped inside Wart'sbubbles and tossed around like ping-pong balls.

Mario tries to bounce against Wart, but he chomps on his bubble. Mario then uses abomb and frees himself and hurts Wart in the process. Wart is about to make Mario pay for his trick, but Birdo's three sisters enter the room after crashing through a wall with aBonus Chance's slot machine, hitting Wart. Mario and the Birdos activate it, getting a trio of 7s, and Wart is overwhelmed by an avalanche ofcoins. Mario then hits the slot machine's lever with a Mushroom and the words "To", "be", and "continued" appear.

Stage 6[edit]

Super Mario-kun Volume 8 chapter 6 cover

マムーだっ!!さいきょうパワーVSたい特製スペシャルアイテム!! (Wart's molting!! Powerful abilities VS special items!!)

The battle can now continue, but no one is willing to take Wart seriously, with the heroes and the Birdos prolonging the lunch break they had in-between chapters. Angered, Wart starts to strive so hard that Mario begins to think he is constipating but, under everyone's eyes, Wart starts molting and from the old skin a strange hybrid of all theSuper Mario Bros. 2's bosses emerges: Wart's head, Clawgrip's body and claws, and Tryclyde for hairs.

The Tryclyde-hairs attack the party with the serpentine Hadouken, defeating Luigi. While Toad, Mario, and Yoshi battle themselves in a rock-paper-scissors duel to see who will go next, Wart's uses Mouser's infinite bomb reserves against them, but Mario uses Yoshi and makes him eat the bombs, which explode inside of him. Wart then uses his claws to cut off Mario's head, but he manages to avoid such fate and, while he is mocking him, Wart uses Fryguy's fire aura to burn him. The Birdos are then coiled by the Triclyde-hairs. Only Toad remains and he gets a Magical Potion and flees in theSubspace, returning few moments later with a chest full of items from the previousSuper Mario games.

Mario grabs aSuper Leaf, Yoshi and one of the Birdos aTanooki Suit, while the other Birdo takes aFrog Suit. Lastly, Luigi grabs a Mushroom, only to be turned intoSmall Luigi: he got aPoison Mushroom fromSuper Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. The party is now a match for the molted Wart and, after Mario immobilizes him with theAnchor, the heroes go all out on him. Wart puts himself back together and uses his last ace: since his kingdom is the dream world, he can do whatever he wants and, with a simple request, all the power-ups and all the heroes' transformations (apart from Luigi's) disappear. Then he uses a large amount of glue to paralyze the heroes. The battle is over, and Wart is the winner.

Stage 7[edit]

Super Mario-kun Volume 8 chapter 7 cover

だいぎゃくてん!!ゆうじょう?パワーでマムーをたおせ!! (Great turnaround!! Friendship? Let's beat Wart with power!!)

The molted Wart places the glued heroes outside his palace in a way that they form the word アホ (Idiots). While Wart laughs at them, Yoshi notices something in the sky and, immediately after, the entire Bowser's Castle plummets on them, breaking the heroes free from their gluey prison and crushing Wart's Castle and his owner. Bowser, Peach, and tired outminions appear, and they reveal that, in order to stop Princess Peach's cries, they all agreed to go look for Mario.

Wart comes out from under Bowser's Castle and starts arguing with the Koopa King, which calls his minions, only to remember that they are all out of shape and tired. After hugging and kissing Peach, Mario reaches him and pulls out his ace in his sleeve: theSpecial Power-up Kinoko, which he declares to be stronger than Wart's powers. Wart then shoots Mario with an electric ray, hitting in the process aThwomp, aGaloomba, aKoopa Paratroopa, and aBullet Bill. This activates the Special Power-up Kinoko, fusing Mario to the aforementioned enemies, transforming him intoMiracle Mario.

Mario uses his Bullet Bill feet and shoots Wart. Helped by aBoo, he then grabs a bunch ofBob-ombs and plunges them against Wart, protecting himself from the explosion thanks to the Boo, then he uses his Thwomp body to squash him, finally killing him. Bowser's Minions and the heroes celebrate the victory, while Miracle Mario's transformation wears off. Suddenly, Wart's Castle debris recomposes itself into a stone Wart face: Wart's spirit possessed his castle's bricks for one last chance to destroy his enemies. The castle zaps Bowser's Minions, but from Bowser's Castle, theBaby Yoshis (which Yoshi left at the moment of his forced visit to Subcon) come out and start eating Wart's Castle. Yoshi joins them for the final blow, and Wart is finally defeated.

The only remaining piece of the castle is the jar in which the Subcons were held captive, and they are now free. Mario and his friends celebrate, but it is short-lived: Bowser takes Peach and his castle flies away to theValley of Bowser, chased by Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Yoshi.

Stage 8[edit]

Super Mario-kun Volume 8 chapter 8 cover

おばけがいっぱい!? パンプキンゾーンとつにゅう!! (A lot of ghosts!? Entering the Pumpkin Zone!!)

Mario,Carrot, andYokkī are about to enter thePumpkin Zone, the darkest and scariest region of theMario Land, so scary that Mario and Yokkī are trembling in fear. Mario tries to keep his composure, but after being bit by aPiranha Plant, he panics so much that he runs everywhere with a Piranha Plant still biting his head. After a while, Mario calms down, only to turn around and find himself face to face with a vampire, which is scared as well by Mario.

The vampire presents himself to the trio asKurokyura, a timid and wimpy vampire. Mario, enlightened by his inner bully, bosses Kurokyura around to know where the Pumpkin Coin is. Kurokyura answers that theWitch has it. Mario then asks for a drink, and Kurokyura brings him two glasses of tomato juice. Mario offers the second glass to him, but Kurokyura refuses. Mario then forces him to accept, learning a bit too late that the tomato juice makes vampires go crazy: Kurokyura then transforms into a Bat-Man and attacks Mario and his friends.

Kurokyura first orders hisMinikyuras to suck Mario's blood, but the bats are scared by Yokkī's wig and fly at Kurokyura, sucking his blood before being smacked by him. Furious, Kurokyura jumps at Mario, but he uses Carrot as a shield, so Kurokyura sucks her life energy, becoming stronger. Mario then grabs aFire Flower and burns the vampire, leaving behind only his fangs, who are still fighting and biting. Suddenly, aSuper Scope appears: Peach has sent a weapon to Mario, though it is empty.

While the fangs are chomping Mario, Yokkī accidentally bumps on a? Block, revealing a1 UP Heart, which falls on the Super Scope, recharging it. Mario takes the chance and shoots the fangs with it, cancelling their ferocity, but somehow creating a romantic double of them.

Stage 9[edit]

Super Mario-kun Volume 8 chapter 9 cover

マリオはブタにく!? サバーサのおりょうきょうしつ!! (Mario is a pig!? Witch's cooking class!!)

AtWario's Castle, aBero has come to informWario that the Witch's plan to stop Mario is to cook him. To prove it, Bero pukes out the Witch's test subject for this plan: a stew and friedKarakaras. Back in the Pumpkin Zone, Mario, Carrot and Yokkī meet aBoo that is supposed to be on Wario's side, but not even his hypnotic spell can do anything about a vengeful soul: furious that his companion Boos were used as test subjects for the Witch's plan and were all cooked in different meals, the Boo has decided to rebel and help Mario instead, guiding them through a secret path to theWitch's lair.

On their way through the shortcut, Mario feels heavy and then collapses to the ground. Using the light, Boo discovers that Mario is being held down by an army ofKyororos. Boo and Carrot try to come up with a plan to shoo away the Kyororos. During one of Carrot's tries, Yokkī is tickled by Carrot's leaves and sneezes so hard that all the Kyororos are swept away. Mario then burns them, turning them into sunny-side eggs that Yokkī then eats.

The party finally reaches the Witch's lair and the battle begins. Mario is initially scared by the lair's skeletal decorations, but he then offers Carrot as a sacrifice to the Witch. The Witch accepts it and turns her back to Mario, and he tries to sneak up on her with a hammer, but Witch then turns back and casts a spell on Mario, turning him into a pig: her plan has worked, now she just needs to stop Mario's helpers and cook them all. Boo, Carrot, and Yokkī try to run away, but the Witch uses someleaping lids against them. Carrot and Yokkī are crushed by two lids, making Carrot give theBunny powers to the latter. Bunny Yokkī manages to slap the Witch with his ears, but she shoots him with a fire spell.

Mario, not being able to speak or do anything, is suggested by Boo to steal Witch's wand. The two manage to obtain it and zap Witch with a spell. The scene moves some time later, when Wario receives a package: it is a cooked fish that he eats with pleasure, while hisGoomba assistant realizes that the fish is the Witch. Meanwhile, outside, Mario (still in pig form) is celebrating, having obtained the fifth Golden Coin.

Stage 10[edit]

Super Mario-kun Volume 8 chapter 10 cover

いっかくせんきん!! スロットしょうおとこのロマン!? (A lot of money!! The slot machine is men's best friend!?)

Mario and Carrot, while heading to the next zone, find a strange structure: thecasino. Due to the large signs sponsoring the casino, the two realize that must be a trap, but Mario falls for it after hearing that anyone can win a grand prize in cash. Inside, Mario tries his luck with the Slot Machine, but after losing all his money to it, Mario kicks the machine, revealing two Goombas inside.

To avoid punishment, the Goomba offers another slot machine game to Mario. Mario tries it out and the icons of theBig Bird,Buro, and theoctopus on each slot and amonstrous hybrid of the three bosses appears and attacks Mario. Happy, one of the Goomba accidentally kicks the slot machine, obtaining three "7"s, making an avalanche of coins overwhelm the monster, much to the second Goomba's dismay.

The slot machine is activated a second time, and three new icons appears: Wario's initial, Wario's nose, and a bunch of hearts, and a clone of Wario (wearing a pair of underpants with hearts) appears. Mario uses Carrot powers to become Bunny Mario, but the Wario clone copies him: the clone has the same abilities as Mario, and he firsts turn into Bunny Wario, thenFire Wario, before kicking Mario straight into the slot machine, obtaining three icons of a bomb, turning Mario intoBomb Mario. The casino blows up, destroying the Wario clone, while the real Wario laughs at Mario from the castle.

Stage 11[edit]

Super Mario-kun Volume 8 chapter 11 cover

ここはどこ!? メロメロめ~ろコースをとっせよ!! (Where are we!? Break through the mellow course!!)

The story contains different types of puzzles that the reader can solve in order to proceed with the story.

Mario, Yoshi, and Peach hear a rumor that afairy was spotted in theYōsei no Mori, so they all look for her to capture it and have a wish granted. Suddenly, threebuckets fall on their heads: Wario, on top of a moving cloud, followed them and pulled a prank on them. Using brute strength and fireballs, Mario and Yoshi manage to pull the bucket off each other's head, but knowing they cannot resort to such methods to remove the princess's bucket, they decide to follow Wario, while helping Peach to not crash into every tree in the forest simultaneously.

While rowing across a lake, the trio is attacked by the octopus (puzzle: maze). Mario and Peach manage to safely reach the beach, while Yoshi is coiled by the octopus's tentacles that he then proceeds to eat. The trio reaches three caves (puzzle: choose your adventure) and only one of them leads to safety, but to know which one, a riddle on a sign needs to be solved. If Mario and Yoshi choose the wrong caves, they are revealed to be Buro's nostrils.

On the other side of the right cave, Wario sends them a storm of Minikyuras that surrounds Mario and his friends, creating a dark bubble around them (puzzle: how many Minikyura are there?). Mario then pulls out all his coins and uses the light reflecting on them to blind the bats. Angry, Wario jumps out of the cloud and challenges Mario to atiddlywinks match (the panel is a Mario-themed tiddlywinks board). Wario loses and tries to confuse Mario by creating copies of himself (puzzle: find the intruders). Mario lures the real Wario out and burns him with a fireball.

Wario surrenders and accepts to free the princess, but the fireball burns and pulverizes the key, making it appear that the only way to free Peach is by finding the alleged fairy.

Stage 12[edit]

Super Mario-kun Volume 8 chapter 12 cover

ひゃっぱつひゃくちゅう!?とつげきバズーカヨッシーくん!! (Hundreds of hundreds!? Assault Bazooka Yoshi!!)

Yoshi is hunting enemies with his brand-new bazooka and accidentally hits Mario, having mistaken his silhouette. To be forgiven, Yoshi invites Mario to a hunting trip. Before he can reply, someParagoombas attack Mario. He quickly reaches for the bazooka, but accidentally grabs a log and is smacked by the enemies once again. Mario yells at Yoshi to do something, and Yoshi tries to shoot them down, but his bazooka fires magician tools instead of bullets, making the enemies laugh some more, so Yoshi smacks them using the bazooka as a club.

A bunch ofParabombs floats down from the sky and Yoshi runs away in fear. Mario stops him, makes him eat hot baked sweet potatoes and tucks his butt to the back end of the bazooka, making it fire hot farts at the Parabombs, making them explode. The two sigh in relief, but aHammer Brother appears. He tosseshammers at them, but Yoshi shoots four Yoshi Cookies, forming a Panic formation, scaring the hammers back to the owner.

Angry, the Hammer Brother pulls out a larger hammer which crushes Mario and runs at Yoshi. Yoshi then shoots aYoshi Eggshell at the Hammer Brother, but misses him, much to Mario's shock and the enemy's laughter. The eggshell, like a boomerang, comes back and, while the Hammer Brother panics, Yoshi fires another eggshell trapping the enemy in between the two eggshells. Another hoard of enemies approaches, and Mario screams at Yoshi to prepare the bazooka, but he instead eats the enemies with his tongue. "Why didn't you do that from the beginning?" yells Mario.
