Daisy has brought Luigi into a greenhouse, where it seems that a variety of plantlife is being researched. It seems the main attraction is a rather nasty-looking carnivorous plant based on none other than the iconic Piranha Plant! We knew from the beginning that we wanted to showcase some of the game’s most popular flora in the park scenes of this chapter. It was a no-brainer that the Piranha Plant should be front-and-center since it best demonstrates that element of the games. The main issue, though, was that we have no reference for how the production might have interpreted the Piranha Plant within the film’s unique setting. They could have[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Last week we mourned the loss of actor Bob Hoskins, who portrayed Mario in the film. Please check the previous page if you would like to offer any thoughts or feelings towards the man who helped define the childhood of so many through his films. In this page we introduce a new character, Mouser. We’re very excited to incorporate him into the story as he is actually the first truly original character in this universe. All other characters either existed in early scripts or deleted scenes, which makes their contribution to the setting more defined. Mouser, on the other hand, is a narrative free-agent. We can do whatever we want[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It was important to us to treat Luigi and Daisy’s relationship realistically by showing that it wouldn’t be completely stable just because they are reunited. Luigi has his insecurities while Daisy has her responsibilities, which will only make it more difficult for them to find love now that another threat has arisen. We hope they can make it together. They’re a cute couple.
We’ve been waiting a long time for this scene. It’s really good to be able to call back to Daisy’s mother, who was only seen briefly in the film. Even just a fountain in a park says a lot about Daisy’s feelings towards her new home, both thematically and narratively. This scene was also written as a parallel to the similar scene in the film where Daisy shows Luigi the fossil underground, which many people have speculated was the remains of her own mother. Now she shows him what actually remains of her mother in Dinohattan while in a tunnel-like setting. The main difference is that, this time, they actually[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Finally, our villain makes himself known. We also reveal his name, which shouldn’t come as much of a surprise as we might have hoped. Wart was the obvious choice for the character’s name since this story draws a lot from the Super Mario Bros. 2 game. Wart as a villain fit in well, especially since he was a minor character in the film’s original script.
Wart introduces himself and outlines his goals, albeit in a very vague and ambiguous way. Perhaps we should have made things a little more explicit?
Wart has announced his intent and left our heroes with the return of the Portal Creatures. What else can they do but run? We’re only one page away from ending this chapter! We hope that everyone has enjoyed the run so far and that next chapter will be just as exciting a continuation of the story as the last!
Here we are: the final page of chapter three. Daisy and Luigi (with Yoshi!) have returned to the tower to barricade themselves against the onslaught of returning Portal Creatures. The situation is only more dire now that we know that Wart is directing them. We want to thank all of you for being such loyal fans to stick with us for each new page. It’s really motivated us to continue what is essentially a passion project. We never would have dreamed that we could continue for so long. That being said, we will unfortunately have to take a hiatus of two months before resuming with the fourth chapter. This will[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Toad has escorted Luigi and Daisy into the palace safe room where they are reunited with Mario and Reznor. It’s time to regroup and figure out just what the Portal Creatures were after.
