The Dark Secret

Episode 01: The Dark Secret is the first episode and pilot of the Mario Plush Forever series.

Plot
Mario and Luigi are walking through World 1-1 when they see a Goomba. Luigi lets Mario jump on it, stating he has too much ravioli in his stomach. After Mario jumps on it, Luigi accidentally farts. Mario is ashamed of Luigi, who says that the fart was different from the ones he usually has after eating ravioli. Then, Mario farts while Luigi taunts him. Princess Peach then arrives and says the Mushroom Kingdom's residents have been plagued with terrible farts. Luigi says Mario did too, to Mario's embarrassment. Peach suggests they must go see her father, King Toadstool, who knows something about the "fart curse." Suddenly, Peach farts and Mario tries to cheer her up. That didn't work when Luigi said Peach's fart smells like "spoiled rice-a-roni." As Mario gets mad at Luigi, Peach says there is no time and they must leave to the Imperial Palace. They take off, farting on the way. Meanwhile, Mario, Luigi, and Peach are seen in a crystal ball leaving for the Imperial Palace. A dark, cloaked figure watches, stating, "You will fail, Mario and friends. You will fail."
