Quote:"Know, O Prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Adventure___________________________
Island and the gleaming cities, and the rise of the Sons of Liberty,
there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across
the world like blue mantles beneath the stars -- Hyrule, with its
pointy-eared women and towers of octorok-haunted mystery, Sosaria with
its chivalry, Charlock that bordered the pastoral lands of Alefgard,
Castlevania with its shadow-guarded tombs, Makaimura whose knights wore
lance and armor and boxers. But the proudest kingdom of the world was
the Mushroom Kingdom, reigning supreme in the dreaming west. Hither came
Mario the Plumber, black-haired, sullen-eyed, shell in hand, a
coin-thief, a box-basher, a goomba-slayer, with gigantic melancholies
and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the game under his
booted feet."
