Film's Plot:
The film opens up in a dark factory at night, as somebody can be seen putting up boxes on a shelf that reads "Mascot costumes". As the man leaves to go do something else, the box that he put on the shelf started to move on it's own and went outside of the factory and towards a nearby Ebay factory. In the Ebay Factory, the box that contained these cursed mascot costumes or spirits fell into a tank of 4 Mario costumed outfits with those being Mario, Luigi, Wario and Yoshi. It would then cut to a boy's room at night as Jack would get out of bed, brush his teeth and play a bit of Super Mario Galaxy before going to school and telling his friends about his fantastic birthday today before handing out invitations to his friend group.
