[Music]

Spending your vacation at the beach is

fun, especially when you can dig in the

sand and build sand castles. But in some

places, digging is not allowed. What

happens if you do it anyway? But first,

clean. Not so much. Not so much. Baby

Mario, you know you have to put on

sunscreen.

>> Yeah, but hey, leave my face alone. I

just don't want you to get a sunburn,

that's all. Look, here's your shovel and

your bucket.

Here you go. Have fun playing in the

sand. Yay! Yoohoo! I'm building the

biggest sand castle in the world. Be

careful. Hey, Mario. Oh, Luigi, there

you are. Sorry, Mario. I was still

looking for my sandals, but I couldn't

find them. Ah, no problem. Can you

please keep an eye on Baby Mario? You

know, it's not safe to dig everywhere

here in the sand. Of course, that's easy

for me. Glad to hear it, Luigi. Now I

can finally enjoy my vacation and relax

on my beautiful lounge chair. Relaxing

makes you really

[Music]

sleepy.

So great. First, I need to get some

water. Otherwise, I won't be able to

build the biggest sand castle in the

world. Hey, baby Mario, what are you

making there? I'm building the biggest

sand castle in the world. Even bigger

than your mustache.

Well, if you want, I can help you.

>> No, I want to build it by myself. You

couldn't build it as big as I can. I'm a

master builder. I've learned everything

in school about sand and and castles and

That's right. H you know, I think it

would be easier to use a mold.

>> Look, it works like this, too. Now, the

stone goes on top. And that's the first

floor.

>> All right, if you say so.

>> Oh my goodness. There's no water left in

here. Can you please get me some water?

Sure, I can do that. But you stay right

here and building your sand castle. I'll

be right back. Huh? What else would I

do? Get in a car and drive away or

something? What does he think? Oh, man.

Doopy doopy doopy. Oh, hey, there's a

big mole. That's just right for baby

Mario. I could teach him how to build a

huge sand castle by using a mole. Come

on, I will take this one and fill it

with water.

Okay, very nice. The whole mold is

filled with water. Now I just have to

figure out how to carry it back. And I

have to say with all that water inside,

it's not so easy. So now the stone goes

on top and my sand castle is finished. I

think it could be a bit bigger. Where is

Luigi anyway? Baby Mario, I've got a

surprise for you.

Oh no. Oh no. Baby Mario, I'm so sorry.

Oh, oopsie. Oh no. Oh Luigi,

what did you do? Are you out of your

mind? Hey, no. It wasn't on purpose.

Yeah, but you just stomped right over it

like that. I saw it. Why did you do

that? Oh man, I built all of that for

nothing. I'm going somewhere else. I

will find a new spot. This is so

annoying. Everything is just ruined.

Wow. Wait, not so fast. Huh? I think

this is a good spot. I'm going to build

the biggest sand castle in the world

right here. And this time, no one's

going to stop me. Hey, baby Mario,

listen. I'm sorry. But if you want, I

can help you with the sand castle. Oh,

yeah. And how? You would just wreck it

again in the end. No, trust me. I've got

a great idea. Let's take another look at

the mole together. If we fill it with

sand, we can build a huge sand castle.

Even bigger than a house. Okay, I

believe you. Let's try this.

And of course, I will help you. You

don't just have to do all this here by

yourself.

Yay! We need even more sand. And another

scoop goes in. And another bucket full

of sand. And another scoop. Another

bucket. And here comes the final one.

So Luigi, what do we do now? I will take

the mold and fill it with water. Just a

moment. Watch out. Here comes the wave.

Wonderful. That was faster than I

thought. I got a little wet. Now, quick,

back to the spot. I'm really excited to

see what happens next. Look at this. The

sand is all wet and sticky now. And that

means

flip the mold upside down. And ta, the

sand castle is done. Wow. Luigi, that

turned out amazing. What a great idea.

And look how big it is. Yeah. Woohoo.

And you know what? We can go collect

seashells together and decorate your

sand castle with them. Oh, yes. That's a

really great idea. Let's do it right

away. I can't wait. Keep your eyes open.

It's not easy to find seashells. H. Ah,

look over there. There is our first

seashell. Come on, let's grab it.

Very good. Baby Mario, look. This is

what a seashell looks like. Oh, wow. I

want to find my first shell, too. I'm

heading out right now. Okay, but don't

go too far. Yeah, there's my first shell

already. Very nice. I've got it. Wow,

two shells at once. Awesome. Yeah.

Great. Is there another shell around

here somewhere? H. Ah, there. Yes, I've

got it. And another one. Nice and slow.

Nice and slow. Don't drop it. Yes, I did

it. Very good. Oh, that one's beautiful.

And another one on the beach. So cool.

Wow, we've already collected so many

shells. Haha, great job. With all these

shells, we can decorate your sand castle

now. Yeah, I'm excited. I'm heading back

to the sand castle.

Hey, wait for me. Not so fast. A massage

would be really nice right now.

Oh, lovely. Okay, baby Mario, let's

start decorating your sand castle. Are

you ready for this? Of course, I'm

ready. Let's go.

[Music]

Huh? We didn't collect nearly enough

seashells for the sand castle. What do

we do now?

>> H, you're right. There aren't many

shells left. You don't have to worry. I

will go get us some more. It's so nice

to see how much fun Baby Mario is having

decorating the sand castle. Hello,

Luigi.

>> Hi, Koopa. So funny. Looks like he's on

vac. Wait, what? A Koopa? Hey, hold on.

Leave baby Mario alone. But are you

talking of Hey, that's my shell. You

want it back? Take this.

Mama mia, what have I done?

This can't be true.

Baby Mario, I'm sorry. And believe me,

it wasn't on purpose. But why did you do

that? You always wrecked my sand

castles. But I promised Mario I would

look after you. Luigi, I don't care. You

have to rebuild the sand castle by

yourself now. And I'm going to get some

seashells. But oh man, it's all my

fault.

>> Are there even any shells left around

here?

Oh, there's a nice beach over there. I'm

heading that way. Oh, there's even a

car. Perfect. This is a lot of work,

huh?

>> Hi. This is my sandbox car. And now

we're driving to the other beach. Then I

can build a sand castle in peace without

Luigi wrecking everything again.

Awesome. This is a nice spot. Wow, what

a huge shell.

I have to dig it up right away. Luigi's

going to be amazed when he sees it.

Just a little more.

Hey. Hey, what's that?

Help. Help. Oh no.

Help. I'm making progress, but just a

little bit. Baby Mario. Oh no. Baby

Mario, I'm coming. How in the world did

you get over there? You're not allowed

to dig here. That's not okay. Baby

Mario, don't worry. I'm here to save

you. Oh no, no, no, no. That's

quicksand. Oh, what's happening here?

Oh. Oh. Who are you? Are you the one

behind this? A fireflower.

Baby Mario, don't worry. I'm going to

save you.

I will stop you, you crazy sand monster.

How do you like my fireballs? Huh?

Ouch. That thing can really take a hit.

Watch out.

[Music]

>> Oh no. What? What is it doing now? It's

got two sand cannons. Oh no. Baby Mario,

you're almost completely buried in the

sand. Oh dear, I have to hurry. I need

to stop that weird thing once and for

all. Eat fireballs.

Take this.

Yes, I did it. No, no, no, no, no.

Quick, Sam.

Hey everyone. Sorry I'm late, but Oh,

Luigi.

Luigi, what happened here? Did you get

buried? Yoshi, it's not what you think.

There was a sand monster here and the

quicksand pulled Baby Mario into the

hole. What? Oh no, Luigi. I can't help

you right now. I have to get to Baby

Mario first.

Good luck. In the meantime, I will try

to get out of here somehow. Oh man. Oh

man.

Ouch. That hurt. Oh, baby Mario. Yoshi,

what are you doing here? I'm here to

rescue you. Of course. That's awesome.

Come on, hop on my back. Let's get out

of the sand cave. Yay! Finally riding

Yoshi again. The adventure begins.

Okay, let's go. Uh-oh.

What's that sound? Oh.

Oh no. Hurry. Hurry, Yoshi. A giant

spike ball is trying to roll over us. Oh

no. Help. Help. Don't worry. I I will

get us out of here. No, we Oh no.

Baby Mario, I've got you. That was a

close one. One step less and we would

have landed in the lava. We really

lucky, Yoshi. Let's get out of here

fast. It's way too dangerous.

How am I supposed to get out of here?

This is really driving me crazy.

Hey, wait a minute. What about Mario?

Hey, Mario,

can you hear me?

Oh no, he's fallen asleep. What am I

supposed to do now? Oh, now we are in

some kind of water cave. Wo! What's

that? Those are bats. They are actually

really friendly, but they just gave me a

big scare. Don't worry, Yoshi. I'm here

and I will protect you. Wait a minute. I

thought I was the one to protecting you.

Nope. I'm the protector here. Look, an

exclamation mark switch and some clouds.

What did you do? I built us a bridge. H

And what's up there in the cloud? Let's

see. There were just a few coins. And

over there, let's go check it out. Wow,

look. The water level dropped. And down

there is a pipe. Let's find out where

the pipe leads. To do that, we have to

go through the earth here. Awesome.

Okay, let's explore the pipe together.

I'm really curious.

[Music]

Mario can't hear me. I'll have to get

out of here on my own.

[Music]

I need new pants.

Yoshi, where are we? No idea. Look down

there. Who's that? Looks like a sav

beetle. I'm wondering if this is a bad

guy.

Wow. Hey, you tried to eat us. That

thing's really dangerous. Be careful.

Oh, again. Take this. Oh dear. Maybe

it's the one responsible for all the

quick sand.

[Music]

[Applause]

Finally, Yoshi, what should we do?

First, we have to get out of this

quicksand. Phew, that was close. I've

had enough. Time to take it down. Come

up here if you dare. Take this.

Hey, Yoshi, you did it. We defeated the

sand beetle. Quick, let's get out of

here.

Just a little more.

Very good. My hands are free. And yes,

we did it. Now I have to get to Mario

fast. I need to tell him what happened.

Hey, Mario.

Mario, wake up. Something terrible

happened. Baby Mario got pulled into the

quicksand and we can't find him

anywhere. Yoshi's already on the way.

But what? What just happened? Well, I

just told you. Baby Mario and Hi, we are

back. Uh Yoshi. Baby Mario. Playing here

at the beach is so much fun. And Yoshi

is the best babysitter ever. Well, I

help where I can. I had a really good

nap here at the beach. Well, until you

Luigi woke me up for no reason. But

Mario, there was a reason. Oh man, it's

always me. Okay, enough sand castles for

now. Baby Mario, look. I've got a floaty

for you.

>> Yes, a floaty. Now I can splash around

in the water. I'm excited. This is going

to be so fun. If you want to see baby

Mario splashing in the water but

suddenly getting swept away by a giant

wave, click on this video.
