"Ok!" started Toad, that short sugar-high chewtoy. "Pull the rope and don't fall in the pit. Is that easy enough for you?"

"What do we have to do again?" Mario asked, scratching his head.

Toad rolled his eyes and explained the rules once more. "Now on this side," Toad pointed to his left, "are Mario, Wario, and Luigi! And on that side," Toad pointed to his right, "is the Princess!"

"Is it me, or is something unfair here?" Peach moped.

Toad shrugged. "And on the other side," Toad pointed into the pit in the middle, "is a Piranha Plant that's got his eye... er, roots... er, who cares?! Just don't fall in or you'll be snack food!"

"I hope it doesn't like lean cuisine," Luigi gulped, shaking.

Toad grinned deviously. "Ready? Go!"

At Toad's word, one team quickly pulled, while the other team was dragged to the plant.

"Finish!" Toad shouted as the Piranha Plant started munching. "The winner is Peach!"

"I'm-a Wario... I mean, ahhhhhhh!" screamed Wario.

"Yeah, Peachie's got it!" Peach cheered as she performed a twirl-jump into the air. Then she fell into the pit.
