The Dark Side of Red Six: Mario’s Fairy Tale

This week our comic takes a look at that grim fairy tale meeting between Mario and Princess Peach. What a story our hero has to tell his grandchildren, how he gleefully stomped his way through King Koopa’s army, breaking necks and squishing the far inferior foes that stood in his way. Through fire, blood, and guts our Mario finally gets his “meet cute” moment with his “damsel in distress cliche” as aromatic sulfur heightens the senses and the screams of a black magic wielding King Koopa slowly burning to death in the lapping waves of lava set a most memorable and enchanting mood.
