Transcript
Narrator: "Mario the Red Plumber wouldn't stop being a nuisance. Night after night, he kept the other TV Characters awake."

Mario: "I'm tired of pushing wolves. I want to see the world."

Narrator: "The other TV Characters didn't take much notice, for Mario was a little plumber with a long tongue.

But one night, Sonic came to the house. He was a kind hedgehog and felt sorry for Mario."

Sonic: "I've got some goombas to take home tomorrow. If you take them instead of me, I'll push wolves in the yard."

Mario: "Thank you."

Narrator: "Said Mario."

Mario: "That will be nice."

Narrator: "Next morning, Sonic and Mario asked their drivers, and when they said "Yes", Mario ran off happily to find goombas.

Now, goombas are silly and noisy. They talk a lot and don't attend to what they are doing. And I'm sorry to say, they play tricks on a TV Character who is not used to them. Sonic knew all about goombas. He warned Mario to be careful, but Mario was too excited to listen.

The shunter fastened the goombas, and when the signal dropped, Mario was ready. The guard blew his whistle."

Mario: "Peep! Peep!"

Narrator: "Answered Mario, and started off. But the goombas weren't ready."

Goombas: "Oh, oh, oh!"

Narrator: "They screamed."

Goombas: "Wait, Mario, wait."

Narrator: "But Mario wouldn't wait."

Mario: "Come on, come on."

Narrator: "He puffed."

Mario: "All right, all right, don't fuss, all right, don't fuss."

Narrator: "Grumbled the goombas.

Mario began going faster and faster."

Mario: "Wheeeee!"

Narrator: "He called as he rushed through Wallace's tunnel."

Mario: "Hurry, hurry!"

Narrator: "Called Mario. He was feeling very proud of himself. But the goombas grew crosser and crosser. At last Mario slowed down as he came to Donkey Kong's hill."

Mario's Driver: "Steady now, steady."

Narrator: "Warned the driver, as they reached the top. He began to put on the brakes."

Mario: "We're stopping, we're stopping."

Narrator: "Called Mario."

Goombas: "No, no, no, no!"

Narrator: "Answered the goombas, bumping into each other."

Goombas: "Go on, go on!"

Narrator: "Before the driver could stop them, they had pushed Mario down the hill and were rattling and laughing behind him.

Poor Mario tried hard to stop them from making him go too fast."

Mario: "Stop pushing, stop pushing!"

Narrator: "He hissed. But the goombas took no notice."

Goombas: "Go on, go on!"

Narrator: "They giggled in their silly way."

Mario: "There's the station. Oh dear, what shall I do?"

Narrator: "He cried. They rattled straight through and swerved into the goods yard. Mario shut his eyes."

Mario: "I must stop!"

Narrator: "When he opened his eyes, he saw he had stopped just in front of the buffers. There watching him was Mr. Garrison."

Mr. Garrison: "What are you doing here, Mario?"

Narrator: "He asked."

Mario: "I've brought Sonic's goombas."

Narrator: "Mario answered."

Mr. Garrison: "Why did you come so fast?"

Mario: "I didn't mean to. I was pushed."

Narrator: "Said Mario."

Mr. Garrison: "You've got a lot to learn about goombas then, little Mario. After pushing them about here for a few weeks, you'll know almost as much about them as Sonic. Then you'll be a Really Useful Plumber."
