STORY
DANGER! DANGER!
While I was away crusading against the mystery alien Tatanga in Sarasa Land,
an evil creep took over my castle and put the people of Mario Land under his
control with a magic spell. This intruder goes by the name of Wario. He has
been jealous of my popularity ever since we were boys, and has tried to steal
my castle many times. It seems he has succeeded this time. Wario has scattered
the 6 Golden Coins from my castle all over
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 4
Mario Land. These Golden Coins are guarded by those under Wario's
spell. Without these coins, we can't get into the castle to deal with Wario.
We must collect the 6 coins, attack Wario in the castle, and save everybody!
IT'S TIME TO SET OUT ON OUR MISSION!!
The 6 Golden are the coins needed to open the gate of Mario's castle.
