Dinosaur Dilemma

Dinosaur Dilemma is the seventh title in the Nintendo Adventure Books series. It is based on Super Mario World, and takes place shortly after its events.

Story

Mario and Luigi are vacationing on Dinosaur Island with Princess Toadstool. But thanks their new hungry dinosaur friend, Yoshi, they're completely out of food. Mario leaves Luigi and Yoshi to go and look for food, but as he walks along, he notices that all of the dinosaurs have disappeared. Mario suddenly comes up to an island where he fins Yoshi and a few other dinosaurs, and a flying Hammer Bro. comes along and then captures all of the dinosaurs except Yoshi, who Mario manages to save. Mario and Yoshi make it to the Valley of the Koopas (with the help of Starmen and Feathers, of course) where Bowser seems to be having a celebration about an invention. When Mario and Yoshi succeed in sneaking into Bowser's castle, Larry Koopa captures them and knocks them out. When they wake up, they are in a pan of dough and Bowser explains to them his scheme of putting all of the dinosaurs in eggs for food at his party, and that he plans to have Mario and Yoshi as a special dish. Thinking quickly, Mario achieves setting the egg maker machine in reverse, turning all of the dinosaurs back to normal. Bowser once again is ruined and Mario has saved the day. But when one of the eggs hesitate to hatch, Mario thinks it may be trouble, but when it hatches, it is none other than Luigi! The Marios and the Yoshis climb out the kitchen window and return to where they came from, with victory on their side.
