It was nighttime at a familiar shack. The light flickers off as we see a familiar logo.

"Sonic's Cars Toons: Mario's Tall Tales"

As something glows above in the sky, the door to the shack fell. A shivering Mario spoke out, "If I-a am lying, I-a crying."

UFP: Unidentified Flying Plumber

Yoshi was working at his tire stand, struggling with a hub cap of someone's car with Luigi watching.

"Yoshi, Yoshi!" Yoshi exclaims in frustration. He finally got the hub cup off, sending it flying from the store. "Yoshi!"

As it zooms past Mario's group, the plumber gasps, "Mama mia! It's-a UFO!"

"Mario, it's just a hub cap." Sonic said, rolling his eyes at the plumber's mistake.

"Right, everyone knows UFOs aren't real." Emerl said in agreement with the hedgehog.

"No, it-a was a UFO!" Mario insists as he patted his belly thoughtfully. "I-a should know. I've saw one-a once!"

"What?" Sonic ask Mario in disbelief. His best friend, saw a UFO?

"Yep! I-a even saw a purple weird-a guy called a Boov too!"

"Is this another story you're going to tell us?" Emerl ask, knowing that Mario is about to go into another one of his crazy stories.

"Yep! It-a was a crystal clear night." Mario nodded as he goes into another story of his.

--------------

It was a crystal clear night as Mario was driving his truck near the railroad tracks as a storm cloud loomed over him. Just then the train track signal turns around. For some reason, the dinging is going faster while the cloud flew over the plumber.

"Huh." Mario said puzzled as he looks around. "That's-a weird!"

Mario begins to narrate, "There I-a was...looking for trains. Can't-a remembered why. That-a cloud was acting funny. The-a dinging is faster and..."

"Get on with it!" Sonic and Emerl's voices are heard snapping impatiently.

Mario yelps as he saw someone: a purple weird alien in a blue sweater with a purple button called a Boov riding a small spacecraft. The plumber yelps, and as the train signals died down, he whimpered a bit. What does this alien want?

Mario blinks...and the alien did the same thing. The plumber confused asked, "What...what in the...?" Mario then blinks twice...and the alien did the same thing! The plumber smiles. "Well, hello-a there! Welcome-a to Earth! My name-a is Mario Mario!"

"Hi! I'm Oh!" The alien exclaims with a smile. "I am called that because my friends say that whenever I show up! Can't imagine why!"

"Oh! An alien-a named name Oh? Well, mama mia! Shall I take ya to my-a liter?"

"Your liter."

"All-a right then!" Mario exclaims with a smile. Looks like he made a new friend!

------------

"This-a is it!" Mario exclaims to Oh as he shows the alien his liter...a pile of liters that is. "My-a liters!"

"Yum!" Oh exclaims, licking his lips. That stuff looks good.

Mario is now seen drinking his cup, smiling to Oh who is drinking his own liter. The plumber narrates, "Yeah, that-a guy could put it-a away."

Oh gulped down the entire big liter then crushes the can before belching out loudly. This made Mario laughs, "Mama mia!"

"Mama mia!" Oh exclaims, causing Mario to jump in surprise. The two friends smiles and laughs together. That was fun!

"We-a did all my-a favorite things."

Mario begins teaching his favorite things to Oh. As the two enters a field where the Koopa Troopas were sleeping, the plumber uses his trunk horn, honking so loudly that all the said turtles topple over. The mischievous Oh uses his own alien horn. This made symbols to appear in the ground and making all the Koopa Troops yelp upon awakening up then tips over. The two friends laughs in glee.

During that evening, Mario begins driving backwards to teach another trick to his alien friend.

"I-a taught him how to drive backwards."

Sure enough, Oh begins driving backwards, zooming passed the plumber. He is getting the hang of this!

A bit later, Oh tinkers with his new friend's truck to teach him a new trick.

"And Oh taught-a me how to fly...well, my-a truck at least."

Once the work is done, Oh then glows as did the truck, much to Mario's who is sitting in it, amazement. His truck could fly now!

"Cool." Mario said with a smile as the two friends begin to fly off. "Wait up!"

Now during this time, Bobinsky was watching the yellow lights lazily while Mel was nearby sleeping. Suddenly, the Russian notices the lights all flickering a bit, making him shocked as he exclaims, "Whoa!"

To Bobinsky's further shock, there's Oh and Mario flying by. The plumber grins as he waves to his friend, saying, "Hey-a Bobinsky!"

As the two flying ones left, Bobinsky gave an odd look at his drink then pushed it away warily. He has had enough for one night!

-------------------------

The two friends laughs as they flew around the countryside in the sky. Mario laughs happily, "Wow! We-a going to be-a best friends forever!" At least Mario thought so until spotlights appears, surrounding Oh, much to his worry. "Wha?"

Suddenly Oh yelps as he and his aircraft got snatched by a magnet being attached to a plane. The pilot, Wolf O'Donnell, smirks as he spoke into his headset, "Got him!"

"No!"

"Return to base." A voice on Wolf's radio said to the pilot. The wolf nodded as he flew off with the prize in his clutches.

"Oh! I-a will save you!" Mario exclaims in determination. He isn't going to let some military jerks kidnapped his little friend.

Mario shifted gears, only for his vehicle to crash into a wall. The plumber yelps as he and his tow truck, tumbling down to the ground, hitting it hard. Mario groans and frowns a bit.

"Dumb reverse!" Mario scowls as he quickly shifted the gears right away then heads off. "I-a will come to get you, Oh!"

-------------

Nearby is a military based called Area 51. How do I know that? From a sign that said "Area 51, Top Secret. Look Away". The plumber lands on a hill and glances at the facility. So this place does exist!

Mario gasps as he saw a glow in a building. The plumber mumbles, "Oh no. Oh!"

Mario didn't waste time as he begins sneaking into the facility, using his truck to hover over the fence. A voice spoke on the speakers, "Maintenance to the loading dock at this time."

Mario manages to hide himself behind a cylinder, glancing at the soldiers marching away. One soldier calls out, "We will meet you there, private. Come on!"

Mario snuck by various soldiers who doesn't notice him. One of them calls out, "I need 10 men here, on the double!"

"Private Duck!" An admiral named Grimmitz calls out. "Get over here now!"

Mario arrives at the hangar where he saw the glow came from earlier. A voice calls out over the speaker, "Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine; Dr. Howard? Report to Hangar 10."

Mario hovers his truck and looks inside. Inside the lab, he saw many aliens and creatures kept in some jars. One included a small alien with an eyeball for a head, he was known as Wesley the Watchdog.

In three other jars were three monsters who the scientists thought were aliens. They were known as Ickis, Oblina, and Krumm. They didn't look pleased to be held captive there.

Then Mario saw two scientists talk to each other about some matter. One of them ask his colleague, "Hey, you know that red saber-toothed squirrel we captured last month?"

"Yeah, what about her?" The other scientist asked right back.

"Are we really going to go through with increasing her intelligence?"

"Of course, it's for a good cause. You saw what happened in the past era she came from originally through our memory scanner. We can't risk having a dangerous, loose cannon like her in our times, it's fortunate enough that the other squirrel she fought with didn't end up here."

"It still seems a bit unfair to the little critter." The first scientist said in concern for the squirrel.

"Trust me, it's what's best, not only for her, but for humanity." The other scientist insists calmly.

"Ah, probably not-a worth intervening over, but I-a know Oh is." Mario whispers as he begins looking around. "Now where is he?"

Mario gasps as he saw him: Oh shivering as a bunch of scientists are gathered around him. One of them said in precaution, "All right, try not to get too close."

"Everyone, say "Cheese"." One scientist said, making everyone turns to pose for a picture.

"Cheese!" The scientists exclaims as the camera took a picture of everyone, including Oh who blinks a bit in confusion.

"Mama mia!" Oh exclaims. This made few of the scientists gasped in surprise.

"Mama mia? He, he's trying to communicate!" A scientist exclaims in amazement. "Where are Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine or Dr. Howard?"

"It's-a me!" A voice exclaims as the scientists saw Mario coming in in a lab coat and glasses to disguise himself. "Right here, right ladies?"

Sure enough, the girls Tessa and Vanessa James, in army gear, are there, giggling a bit to the doctor.

"So doctor...what does "mama mia" mean?" The same scientist ask the disguised Mario anxiously.

"That's-a mean for "mama mia"...is...TIME WE-A GET ON OUT OF HERE!"

Before the scientists knew it, Mario grabbed the release on the lever for the table, releasing Oh who realizes who the "doctor" really is. He laughs, "Mama mia!"

Mario didn't waste time in ditching the disguise before jumping in. The scientists gasp as the hero grabs Oh and rushes off with him, yelling, "Oh, follow me!"

Mario manages to hop into his truck and flew off with Oh following, the alien looks back for a moment before sticking his tongue out at his former captors. The two friends barely got through the doors that are trying to close on them.

Alarms went off like mad as the military begins chasing the two, smashing through the facility and the gate after them. Mario and Oh needs luck to get out of this one in one piece!

-------------

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on!" Sonic interrupts Mario back in reality. As he frowns, the hedgehog ask, "Do you expect me to believe that, seriously?"

"Well, I-a don't expect you not to...pause for dramatic effect...5, 4, 3, 2, 1...you-a were there too!" Mario exclaims as he "reminds" Sonic of his involvement as well.

------------

Sure enough, the story shows the two flying with Sonic accompanying them...the hedgehog yelps due to the turbulence. And it didn't help that Sonic hits a few trees in the way, making him yelp in pain each time.

The group came to a stop and gasps as they see a huge ship in the way...and with more creatures like Oh inside. The trio looks amazed, Oh's people, the Boov, must've come to save him!

"Wow, its way past cool!" Sonic exclaims in amazement at the shop.

"I-a know, right?" Mario remarks to Sonic with a smile.

Sure enough, the trio are beamed right in the ship before the Boovs flew off, making the get away from the pursuing military. Everyone exclaims in amazement at their escape, "Mama mia!"

The ship flew around in space, making the grand escape. Mario is heard asking, "Thanks-a for saving us, alien guys. You-a think you could-a drop us off at home?"

It was dawn as the aircraft managed to stop near the top of Mario's shack, dropping the plumber and his best friend off. They caused the whole shack to fall apart, breaking it into pieces. But at least they will live.

As the spaceship took its departure, Mario groans out, "Thank-a you."

--------

"Wow..." Emerl said in amazement in reality. A UFO story!

"Ugh, sorry, Mario, but that didn't happen." Sonic said, shaking his head in disbelief. His best friend never met an alien and he never can fly in his tow truck!

"Oh, yeah? How come I-a can do this?" Mario snaps as he shifts his gears to his car on in hopes to challenge the plumber. All it did was make bad noises, much to Sonic's alarm and disgust.

"Augh, no, Mario, stop, please!"

Mario rushes off, not wanting to see any more of Mario "making noises". Emerl stay around and, to his amazement watch as the truck begins hovering and flew off. Bobinsky was watching as Mel was waking up.

"Far out." Bobinsky said in amazement, seeing Mario flying again.

"Okay, now I know there is life out there." Emerl said in amazement, shaking his head at what he just saw.

-------------

We see Mario and Oh in space, the plumber winks to the alien as they warp speed away into space.
