It was an average Sunday, September 13th. A new world on the New Super Mario Bros. in the DS was activated, world 6.6.
After completing the 6th level on world 6, Mario sees Luigi at the end of the finish line. Puzzled, Mario stared at Luigi for a second. Mario asked “Luigi? What are you doing here?” Luigi replied “I need your help. Something is happening when we move to the next level. Everything seems… different.” Mario was skeptical but moved to a new level named 6.6. Everything appeared the same. The same rock floors, same rock castle, and same firing bullets. But something felt different.
Mario couldn’t pin point the difference so he started playing his normal run with Luigi by his side. They reached the power up brick. What was usually a pretty orange and yellow flower turned into a reddish brown flower with yellow teeth whispering “traitor”, Mario was baffled. He and Luigi could not believe what they heard. Both were a little terrified but still tried to move on. Gently walking toward the next few bricks they realized the sky was dark instead of the usual bright blue sky. An organ starts to play in the background. Walking step by step Mario halts, Luigi crashes behind him, fearing for what might be hidden in the pipe in front of them. Nothing appears. Mario bravely takes one step forward and blood gushes out with a small red and white dotted mushroom sliding out of it. As the mushroom is slowly dying, it says “Enemies are following you.” They gasp, Luigi starts to panic. Mario tried to calm him down but nothing helped. A bright light appeared in the sky. Then a masked voice spoke “Want to save Princess Peach? Come to the top of the castle before she accidentally falls off.” Mario’s heart raced, he began worrying. Luigi boldly says “Come on Mario, we have to save the Princess.”

Luigi takes the lead, he and Mario race cross the castle. Without any power-ups Mario and Luigi try their best to keep fighting to reach the top. Luigi then stumbles upon a rock door. They both say they have never seen it before. So Mario believes it’s not a good idea to go in there at a time like this. But Luigi convinces him it might be a short cut to the top. They walk into the room and find steps that might lead to the top. Mario feels better and smiles at Luigi. But soon enough, they hear a loud thud. It seemed to be coming closer and closer by the second. Luigi yells “GIANT ROCK BALLS”. They jump across most but all of a sudden Luigi gets hit. He gets thrown off the staircases and lands ten flights down. Mario is in tears but is determined to get to the top. This pushes him to jump higher and higher as the balls start to grow. He finally reaches the top. He sees Bowser pushing Princess Peach to the window. Mario yells “STOP!” Bowser and The Princess turn. The Princess says in pain “Don’t try to save me, he will only try to hurt everyone more.” Mario threatens Bowser to let the Princess go or he will fight until he dies. Bowser says “I only do what my master orders.” Mario turns to Peach looking confused. Peach explains “Bowser isn’t who you are looking for… Turn around” Mario turned around and hears a familiar voice which says “Hello brother, didn’t think you would make it.”
Mario is overwhelmed by seeing Luigi in a green and black overall and a black cape. Mario says “Luigi what are you doing?” Luigi explains “Well I am tired of being the brother of the great Mario, so I constructed this world myself, to kill you.” Mario then realized that it was Luigi that the flower and mushroom were talking about. Mario yells “are you crazy or something we are a team and we act like a team.” Luigi disagrees, “You were always in the spotlight and I am sick of it. So now to engage plan B.”. Luigi starts running towards Mario, who ran to Peach to grab her. While running Luigi tries to capture Mario but fall out of the window with one hand clutched to a corner of the window. Mario runs to grab Luigi’s hand but it slips out and Luigi falls on the surface and gets killed.
Mario and Princess Peach both create a small memorial for Luigi. Mario is heartbroken to lose his brother, only after years he starts to cope with his lose.
September 13, 2015 is the 30th year anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros. video game.
