Mushrooms, Teemo's mushrooms, addict's mushrooms or Mario's mushrooms, are a fungi that each has their own different effect on a body. Teemo shrooms explode and rapidly decompose anything that touches it. An addict's shrooms puts you on a psychedelic trip. Mario's shrooms, however, have an interesting effect. They always seem to make you feel bigger than what you are. Mario, one of the drug lords in the big city, has recently discovered the shroom and has risen to the top of the criminal chain. Tens of thousands of druggies flock to him everyday.

"Three shipments went off went without a hitch", Luigi said to his brother, "the fourth one was hit by the goombas."

"Goombas?", Mario replied. "It's been quite sometime since I've seen them. Can anyone tell me why exactly the goomba's knew about that shipment...?", Mario said in a slow voice. His temper is rising.

The room was silent. No one had an answer for him.

"There are only five people in this room. Peach, Luigi, Toad and Toadette. You are my trusted advisors, family even...", Mario said quietly. "So why the did one of you let one of our captain's f*ck us? There are only a few of them. Two per person in this room... Luigi."

"Yes, brother?", Luigi said.

"Run discipline with the boys. Let's make sure that you don't anger the Mario family.", Mario replied.

"Yes brother.", Luigi said leaving the room. The other's simply watched him.

"What do we do?", Toadette asked.

"Continue operations like normal. Toadette, keep the boo whores from going out of business. They're too shy to go around asking. Toad, get my shipments up and running. Peach, princess, get me some information of Bowser. If he thinks he can f*ck with him, we'll make sure he correct his mistake", Mario said without skipping a beat.

Everyone left his sight. Mario pinched the cleft of his eyebrows and let a sigh out. He sat there wondering what things would be like if he had just stayed a plumber.
