[ WP ] Mario shows up to a party full of video game characters and no one knows who he is .

Nathan rapped his knuckles on the huge, green shoulder plates next to him `` Have you seen Peach? Someone's at the door'' 
 
 A gruff, half robotic voice answered `` She popped next door to Lara's. We ran out of ice.'' 
 
 Nathan nodded and turned to open the door. `` Hey, welcome to... oh, Sorry. I thought you were here for the thing. Peach is at another castle, but she'll be right back. But I can show you to the bathroom if you want to get started? I did n't know anything was wrong, but I saw Donkey Kong in there earlier, so I can put two and two together'' 
 
 A big mustache and its accompanying red hat were greatly obscuring two small eyes staring up at Nathan in mute silence. 
 
 `` Oh, right, sorry. Uh, I do n't know Spanish, and Ancient Mayan does n't have a word for bathroom. So... This way'' Nathan gestured broadly for the small plumber to follow him and tried to move through the crowd. 
 
 A tall woman in a black skinsuit slid through the crowd and stopped in front of them. `` Nathan, Who's your friend?'' 
 
 `` This is the plum - `` 
 
 `` IT'S A ME! MAAARIO!'' The man shouted 
 
 The sudden eruption of noise shocked Nathan a bit. `` This is Mario. He's here to fix the plumbing.'' 
 
 `` Ohhh, yes. Donkey Kong was in there earlier.'' She turned and leaned down to face Mario `` I'm Bayonetta. Nice to meet you.'' 
 
 The visible portions of the man's cheeks turned, literally, as red as his hat and he resumed his characteristic silence as she walked away. 
 
 Mario and Nathan continued. `` Hey, I'm sorry about earlier. You were n't saying anything, so I just assumed... It's not'cause you're a plumber or anything... Hey, look at that: here we are!'' He pushed the door open and gestured inside `` I'll just leave you to it.'' 
 
 Nathan walked away quickly, leaving Mario confused outside the bathroom. He turned to face the rest of the party, happy to await Peach. A kid of indeterminate age wearing a green tunic and hat approached him and nodded. Mario seemed happy to see him and nodded back before shrugging with his palms out. The Green hat tipped toward the kitchen where Mario saw a pointed-eared princess. Mario raised his eyebrows inquisitively. The green tunic shrugged and wore a contented smile. Mario smiled back and gave a small bow at the good news. The two friends continued to catch up as Mario waited for his Princess.
