Chapter 1: Level 1

Level 1 is the first chapter of Act I of Mario Golf, and by extension, the entire story. It precedes Level 1 Again?. In it, Mario enjoys a peaceful game of golf until he learns that Bowser is invading the Mushroom Kingdom, and races over to stop his scheme. Level 1 is 1,480 words long.

Summary
The chapter opens with famed plumber Mario playing a game of golf with his brother Luigi and their pet dinosaur Yoshi. Yoshi is winning, much to Mario's chagrin. Regardless, all three are enjoying themselves until they are interrupted by a Toad, a citizen of the Mushroom Kingdom. The Toad informs the brothers of an attack on the Kingdom by Bowser, king of the enemy Koopa Kingdom. Mario heads out to investigate, insisting Luigi stays behind. Mario infiltrates the castle of the Mushroom Kingdom and confronts Bowser. They fight briefly, but Mario eventually defeats Bowser. Princess Peach, princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, congratulates Mario on his victory before the two head out to make a cake. The story seems to come to a close, but two mysterious figures narrate over Mario's morning. They comment on Mario's jumping being too high before starting another "trial."
