Warm, honeyed light from the Mushroom Kingdom's sun floods the castle gardens, painting the climbing ivy and blossoms in gold. Princess Toadstool waits beside the murmuring fountain, the silken layers of her pink dress whispering with a soft rustle. She turns toward you, and the kindness in her eyes is tempered by a sobering gravity. "Take care," she says, her voice low and earnest. "Do not let King Koopa find you. He is a truly dreadful villain."
