It was the aftermath of the Mouser Gang's attack on the town, and though it had taken a while, things had finally returned to normal. All of the Mousers were safely locked up in prison, the gold had been returned to Mustard Mines where it belonged, and it looked like everything would be just fine from here on out.
Except for one rather large detail.
"Sheriff! Whaddaya mean you're leavin'?" cried one of the townsfolk. He and most of the others were gathered around Mario's party, who had just made their final preparations to leave.
"You just left us to go to Mustard Mines, and look what happened!" the Toad who'd s

"WAHOO!" Mario cheered, performing a superpowered Spin Jump on yet another hapless Mouser thief and finishing him off. "Now these are some nice boots! I could definitely get used to this!"
"Awesome! That's eight Gold Nuggets we've rescued already!" Hanner said with a smile.
"Yeah, but we have to keep hurrying," Mario reminded her, dusting himself off. "These guys could clear out of here at any time with the rest of the gold. Especially if they get word that we're all down here."
"Well, I don't reckon this feller's in any condition to go rattin' us out," Snatchel laughed.
"Urgh… where are the pineapples, Momm
