To Quote: "Far off from the Mushroom Kingdom lies the Dark Land, and inhospitable place for the innocent and reputable. It is here, in one of the many caves that litter it's mountain ranges, that a young daemon Koopa's story begins in earnest. Our protagonist awakens to the mere presence of it's red browed-patriach, gazing down with a distasteful expression. He mocks his spawn with comparison to it's elder siblings, and with little ceremony, dumps him into a long forgotten cannon blaster. Surprisingly, it is not without ammo.

The strange pleasantries are put on hold, however, as the light from the rear of the cannon quickens the heart-rate (do Banzai's even have hearts?) of both occupants. With a resounding BOOM, the Banzai Bill and our protagonist are sent speeding forth. They emerge from the cave of our protagonists' former home, flinging over the purple and blue landscape of the Dark Land. After what seems like seconds, the momentum and weight pull them down into a landing... ...well...crash landing. Our stunned protagonist falls from impact, slamming into the ground.

Gazing skyward at two circling Albatoss' overhead, the realization of what has happened seems to dawn on his young mind. So he weeps, uncertain what to do. Even Billy's attempts to placate the young Koopa go unheeded as he himself falls prey to uncertainty and regret of their situation..."
