PROLOGUE: A Fat Man's Greed
--
"SIGH..." Wario sat at the throne of his castle, picking his shnoz in boredom. He had a problem. Although Wario was successfully the richest man in the world, he still felt empty inside. Although recently he had gone villain once more in an attempt to obtain--ahem--"Life-Size" Trophies, he still wasn't feeling like the old Wario. Although he still kept in touch with Kat & Ana, his brother Waluigi, and of course Mona, Wario wasn't satisfied. Why? Why couldn't he feel happy? He WAS rich and famous...
Wait.
Famous? That was it! Wario sat up.
"I'M-a not famous...my GAMES are famous..." He removed his chubby finger from his nostril. "...Because they don't star ME! OF COURSE! But..." He slumped back into his golden chair. "...that's-a because I don't have-a the PROCESSING power to include REAL characters! I'd need a super computer or some estupid thing!" He growled and picked up today's paper. He read the main article. "Hmph! Snake gets ANOTHER mention. Why can't that-a be WARIO???" Suddenly his beady eyes fell on the last line: "hero of Shadow Moses, development site of once-terrifying mech". "Shadow Moses..." Wario repeated. "If-a the computers there are still active..." He rose up. "WAH-HAHA! EXCELLENT! WARIO'S gonna be famous as of NOW! Er...WHEN I FINISH MY LATEST GAME!" He pointed to the sky. "TO SHADOW MOSES!"
