Super Mario Virtue

Main Article: here (Fantendo)

 (Super Mario Darkness in PAL regions) is a game for the Nintendo Wii, it is largely considered to be the most mysterious and thrilling Mario game yet!

Plot
"A new villain comes and darkness falls on the Mushroom Kingdom. Marlon will be a major character in the game."

- Official Mario Virtue blog

First Cutscene Sript
Darkness is covering the kingdom, just like it said in the prophecy.

Marlon, what can we do to stop it?

''Toad, I think Mario needs a few more helpers on this journey. According to the prophecy, there are six heroes that can stop the darkness, each with their own special powers.''

Mario, are you up for this?

Mario shakes his head.

Good, now does it say who the heroes are?

''Toad, it does not. It only says: The Pink Hero, The Gray Hero, The Purple Hero, The Red Hero, The Yellow Hero and The Green Hero. I'm guessing Mario is "The Red Hero" and his brother...''

..Luigi?

''..yes, is "The Green Hero". Who could the rest of the heroes be?''

Mario walks over to Marlon and examines the book, 6 silhouettes are shown, each with a small description. Mario shows Marlon.

The Pink Hero: Cute and Smart, yet always captured.

Sounds like the Princess, right Marlon?

''Right Toad, but there's more. The Grey Hero: Cunning and Fiery, but has a nice personality.''

Who is that?

''Cunning, means he's evil. And he uses fire. It could be the koopa king.''

''OK...? Next?''

The Yellow Hero: Greedy and Strong, his Selfishness gets in his way.

Mario snaps his fingers and takes a piece of paper off the desk beside them. He draws a W in yellow.

Wario?

''Toad, you may be on to something. And with the Purple Hero: A follower, Tall and Slick.''

''That could be Wario's brother. What's his name again?''

Weegee?

No no! He's not Weegee, he's too scary.

Isn't his name something like Waluigi?

Toad, I think that's his name.

Mario, go find your partners, so we can stop this terror.

Mario nods and runs off.
