One shiny day in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario and Luigi are packing their bags, getting ready to spend a few days with the Koopalings at Mountain Villa.

Mario: Boy, it sure is gonna be fun staying there for three days and three nights. We and the Koopalings can play ping-pong and everything!

Luigi: Yeah.

Four hours later...

Roy: Hey, guys! What's up?

Mario: Hey, Roy! Where's everyone else?

Roy: They're in the ping-pong room, challenging each other. Wanna join us?

Luigi: I don't, really, cuz it was a long walk up here and I'm pretty tired.

Mario: Me too.

Roy chuckles.

Roy: C'mon, I'll show you to your rooms.

Roy then shows them to their rooms. After he does, he leaves them to sleep it off for the next half hour. When Mario and Luigi wake up, they go back to the living room, which is now filled with all of the Koopalings.

Wendy: Hi, Mario and Luigi!

Larry: Hey!

Morton: (with a sock in his mouth) Hm, mhrhhh hmg mhhmhgghh. (Translation: Hey, Mario and Luigi.)

Mario: Long time no see, Koopalings. What's been going on here at Mountain Villa?

Ludwig: Not much. We've just been bored for a few weeks. I'm running out of ideas for new inventions.

Luigi: I hear some of you have gotten jobs.

Iggy: Yeah, I've become an actor along with Roy.

Roy: We've learned how to get along-

Iggy: Finally.

Roy: Yeah... *chuckle*

Luigi: What movies have you appeared in?

Iggy: Well, I've starred in one movie. The movie is about this mad hypnotist, played by me, who tries to hypnotize good people into doing bad things, such as robbing a bank and everything. The movie is called The Evil Mad Hypnotist. Ludwig also has a cameo appearance in the movie.

Ludwig: Heh, you should've seen the director. He was so thrilled with having Iggy play as the hypnotist. A co-star mentioned something to me about Iggy being such a good actor that he practically hypnotized him completely during a shoot.

Mario: Cool. I'm gonna have to see that movie sometime.

Lemmy: You should. I did, and it was great. Iggy was also awarded best actor in that movie.

Mario: What about the rest of you?

Wendy: I own a jewelry store. It's called Wendy's Jewelry Department.

Then, at 10 o'clock PM, after talking for a while, everyone decides to turn into their rooms and sleep the rest of the night off... except for one Koopaling.

Later that night, around 2:45, Luigi is seen leaving his room and going toward the bathroom. When Luigi goes to the doorway, we see Ludwig running out of the bathroom, almost running into Luigi. We then cut to Mario sleeping on the top bunk (Mario and Luigi are sharing the spare room and are using a bunk bed). Luigi all of a sudden rushes in, climbs up the ladder, and pushes on Mario's side, trying to wake him up.

Luigi: (quietly) Mario! Wake up!

Mario wakes up.

Mario: What's wrong?

Luigi: Come with me, I need to show you something. Hurry!

Luigi then jumps down from the top bunk and runs through the doorway and out into the hall. Mario, not really understanding, gets down from the top bunk and follows Luigi through the halls. When they reach the bathroom door, Luigi slightly pushes it, making it open completely. The bathroom light is on. Mario's eyes bulge out in shock, as they both stare at Wendy's dead body. Wendy is laying next to the bathtub, and has a long cloth tied tightly around her neck. Her face is blue.

Mario: Is she dead?

Luigi nods. Just then, Iggy comes toward the bathroom.

Iggy: Excuse me, I need to- AAHHH!

Iggy screams and jumps back in shock.

Luigi: What were you doing here?

Iggy: I just had to use the bathroom.

Luigi looks at Mario in suspense.

Mario: Did you happen to hear anyone going to the bathroom in the night?

Iggy: Come to think of it, I was awoken by the sound of footsteps in the night. I was afraid it was gonna be Roy and that he might beat me up for nosing around. That's why I just went back to sleep.

The next morning, Mario and the remaining Kooplings are trying to solve the mystery all together.

Larry: I think Roy did it.

Roy: I think I should give you a beating.

Mario: Iggy, did you-

Iggy: No! I didn't do it! I swear! If you don't believe me, just look me straight in the eye and tell me if I'm lying or not.

Mario looks Iggy in the eye. After a second of doing so, Mario decides that Iggy is what he says he is: innocent.

Luigi: Larry?

Larry: Why would I have any reason to kill her? I'm just a sneaky Koopa, not wanting to kill anyone.

Mario: Roy?

Roy: No.

Luigi: Got anything to say about it?

Roy: Just that I'm not the the kind to strangle people.

Luigi: Morton?

Morton: All I care about is wedding cake. WEDDING CAKE!

Luigi: Lemmy?

Lemmy: (on his ball) I hated Wendy, like the rest of the Koopalings. But I didn't want to kill her. Sure, I thought it would be nice if she would move away, since she's so annoying, but killing her was out of the question.

Then, after some more questions, Mario starts to think that Wendy committed suicide.

Luigi: But why would she do that? I mean, she didn't have any reason to kill herself.

Mario: Yeah, that's true.

Luigi: Hey, I just realized Ludwig wasn't in the living room when we questioned everyone. I forgot all about seeing him at the scene, running out of the bathroom.

Mario: Larry said he was in his room during the questioning, trying his best to think of a new invention and didn't want to be disturbed.

Luigi: Don't you think we should question him?

Mario: You took the words right out of my mouth. C'mon.

After that, Mario and Luigi head for Ludwig's room, which they have a hard time finding because his room is at the end of the hall. When they find his room, they see him standing in front of his desk, reading something. Ludwig sees them and stops reading.

Luigi: Ludwig, we need to ask you something.

Ludwig: Shoot.

Mario: We need to question you about Wendy's death.

Ludwig: C'mon! You know I didn't do it. I've been so busy trying to think of a new invention that I wouldn't possibly have had time to kill Wendy. There is simply no evidence that points to me whatsoever.

Mario: All we want to do is question you.

Ludwig: Ahh, who cares! She deserved to die. She was such a pest! She was so spoiled that she made King Dad lose most of his money. King Dad didn't even have enough money to buy me the stuff I needed to have for a new invention I created. I was mad. I wanted to do something to pay her back, but I knew that wasn't the right way to do so. So... I didn't do it.

Luigi is seen writing on a notepad.

Luigi: Well, I guess we've heard enough from him. C'mon, Mario.

Luigi and Mario leave the room, leaving Ludwig to continue reading the thing he was previously reading before the Bros. came in. Luigi and Mario head to their room and lay on their beds.

Luigi: Boy, I've been through and solved a few mysteries, but this one's pretty tough.

Mario: Yeah.

Luigi: Let's just talk about this and see if we can figure this mystery out ourselves. First of all, I highly doubt that it was suicide. Second, the way I've got it, is that the person had to be strong to tie the cloth around Wendy's neck.

Mario: And did you notice that, if you looked in Wendy's eyes, she looks as though she was dizzy or something when she died?

Luigi: Yeah...

Mario and Luigi think for a second. Then, Luigi leaps off his bed and to the ground.

Luigi: Mario, I've got it! I found out who killed Wendy! C'mon, gather up all the Koopalings and follow me to the living room.

Mario immediately gathers up all of the Koopalings and has them all in the living room in a flash.

Roy: What is it now?!

Luigi: Okay, everyone! I found out who murdered Wendy. First of all I want to add a few things. First, Wendy's body was found in the bathroom, strangled and laying on the floor. The way I figured it out was that the Koopaling who did it had to be strong enough to be able to strangle her to death, which leaves Roy as a possible suspect.

Roy: But-

Mario: Let Luigi finish.

Luigi: So, I'll announce who did it.

Who murdered Wendy?
