As our short begins, we see a familiar shack with a logo on it.

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

As a familiar horn is heard honking, the shack door fell down. Mario came out with a sly seductive pose, saying. "If I'm-a lying, I'm-a crying. Roar!"

El Marioador

Out day starts out with Mario, Emerl and Mario walked down the path, checking out the blue like creatures known as Bullies.

"Wow, check out those Bullies." Sonic said impressed.

"Mama mia! They're-a just like the Bullies I-a used to fight." Mario said with an amazed smile.

"What?"

"Are you telling us another story now?" Emerl ask Mario, suspecting that the plumber got another story about his so-called past.

"Yep! That-s'a right." Mario said with a nod to his friend. "I-a was a famous Bully fighter in all of Mexico!"

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

We see a map of the country along with pictures of a Bully and a Hispanic person. Mario narrates like he did with his other stories, "They-a called me El Marioador!"

Sure enough, in a bull ring, a poster is marked "El Marioador: Bully Fighter". It shows Mario in matador clothes right on it. Right on it, the plumber waves to the crowd who cheers for him.

In fact, in the top balcony, Tessa and Vanessa James, as Hispania ladies, smiles as she exclaims in amazed, "Senor Marioador!" Mario smile as he winks to the girls, making them gasp and giggle as they wave fans in front of themselves.

Mario prepares himself as he turns to the Bully door as it opens, showing a Bully named Big Bully glaring, growling.

Big Bully then charges at Mario who took out his red caped. It was about to charge at Mario's cape, only to hit the anvil directly behind it, knocking the Bully back hard.

"Ole!" Mario exclaims with a laugh of triumph.

"OLE!" The crowd cheers on wildly for the plumber.

Big Bully turns, glaring at Mario who is dancing tauntingly then charges at him. The plumber manages to dodge as it passes the cape instead.

"Ole." Mario said with a smile to the charging Big Bully.

"OLE!" The crowd cheers on wildly for El Marioador.

Mario chuckles then waves the cape to Big Bully who scratches the ground a bit. The plumber mocks as he made kissy notions. Big Bully glares and charges once more. Mario manages to twirl around, causing the mad Big Bully to fall to the ground instead.

"OLE!" The crowd cheers on wildly.

"Ole!" Mario exclaims with a smile. Some roses are thrown to the matador who takes one and sniffs the flower. "Ah. Me public."

Mario bows to the public...but was interrupted by Big Bully who head butts the heroic matador, sending him crashing through a wall.

"Ai yai yai!" The girls exclaims in worry. Mario came out of the wall, groaning in annoyance. Mario comment, "Now I know how Bugs Bunny felt in that one classic cartoon."

Big Bully bowed to the crowd cheering for him, despite the fact that he's the bad guy. Suddenly, the Bully spots Mario wearing a sombrero and in his Raccoon Mario form, courtesy of a Super Leaf, dancing a bit towards him...then slapped the plumber with his tail a few times before rushing off.

Big Bully growls as he follows Mario. Upon getting closer, the matador slapped him with his tail once more. Mario turns and dances away for a bit before rushing back, slapping him once more with his tail.

As Mario darts off, Big Bully growls, blowing steam from its nostrils as he follows but stops and looks around confused. Where is that matador? Big Bully felt someone tapping him, causing him to turn back to be slapped by Mario's tail.

As Mario dances away, the Bully furiously charges at Mario. The matador twirled a bit and danced before ducking, hiding under the sombrero. Big Bully stops and glares while taking a peek...but growls as the matador reaches out and honks him by the nose.

"I-a got that-a Bully riled up than a snake-a in a big mouse field!"

"Ole!!!" The crowd cheers on wildly.

Big Bully spots Mario in another area then manages to knock him down, shoving the matador to the ground. It took a few moments but it looks like our hero was buried, with the billboard broken in pieces above him like a cemetery headstone, cape on the ground.

As the bell rang, the crowd looks horrified as a baby is heard crying. Up above, a monk named Ignacio and his friend Chancho held a lantern while the former speaks Latin in sadness, as if wishing Mario to the alter-life.

"NOOOOOO!!!!" Tessa and Vanessa cried out in sorrow. Looks like this is it, Mairo is gone!

At least, that's what they thought. But everyone looks shocked as a familiar arm came out of the pile, taking the red cape. The crowd cheers as Mario came out, tattered but alive and well.

"He's alive!" A voice exclaims as Mario spits at the ground sternly.

"El Marioador!" The girls exclaims with smiles on their faces. The matador is alive!

Mario saw his hat and jacket torn, forcing him to discarded the broken items. He growled at Big Bully, no more mister nice guy! The two goes around in a circle, giving a death glares at one another. Mario made a growling noise as he barks a bit. Don't ask why.

After a moment, Big Bully slammed a foot to the ground...and, to Mario's shock, two more doors opened up showing two Bullies coming out, glaring.

"Uh oh." Mario exclaims in worry. Looks like Big Bully has called in reinforcements.

The Bullies charged quickly. Mario holds his cape and uses it on one of them, causing that Bully to crash into a wall.

"OLE!" The crowd cheers on wildly. The matador then flung his cape to make another Bully tip over. "Ole!" Soon the hero made Big Bully hit the bullseye hard. "Ole!"

Mario spots three more Bullies charging up at him. The hero was quick to hop up, causing them to collide into one another hard. The matador lands on top of the creatures, saying proudly, "Ole!"

"OLE!"

As Mario hops to the crowd, the Bullies groans and fell unconscious. The girls tossed roses happily as the matador caught one. They cheer, "Ole! Bravo, Senor Mario!"

Mario put the rose into his mouth, smirking as he posed a bit. Looks like he's the winner...but then he felt someone tapping his shoulder, causing him to turn back around and yelp. Big Bully and his pals has woken up and got more Bullies to surround the plumber.

"Yipes!" Mario exclaims in alarm. This could not be good.

A few of the Bullies could take shotguns and start using them against Mario, though he uses a Starman to shield himself from the bullets until the Bullies run out of ammunition. After the Bullies run out of ammo, one of them go back for a few boxes of "elephant bullets with explosive heads". When the Bullies try to start shooting again, the new bullets cause the shotguns to blow up in the Bullies' faces.

Mario even load up a giant slingshot and shoot at some of the Bullies with boulders, knocking most of them out. But they kept on coming, the plumber looks at the Bullies glaring at their enemy.

"So, there-a I was, surrounded. Those Bullies are-a all around me."

-------

"Whoa!" Sonic exclaims in worried back to Mario. "What did you do?"

"How did you even survive?" Emerl ask Mario in concern.

"What...how..." Mario spoke up, looking disbelieved by this. He turns to Sonic, saying, "Sonic! Don't you-a remembered? You-a were there too!"

----------

"What?!" Sonic yells out in shock as he is now in the story.

"Wow, they-a sure like your red outfit." Mario said in amazement. Sure enough, Sonic is now wearing a matador outfit...which is red.

"Oh, not good!"

Mario screams as he runs off with the Bullies chasing him madly. The crowd cheers on, "Ole!" The hedgehog runs off some more. "Ole!"

As the crowd continues watching the chase, even Tessa and Vanessa cheers, "Ole!"

Sonic frantically use his super-speed to set up a ramp, axel grease, glue, sandpaper and dynamite trap for one of the Bullies, sending it flying and making a trap to blow the creature up before sending him crashing right into a wall. Sonic use his super-speed to rapidly replace the sandpaper, match and dynamite multiple times until every Bully ends up getting blown up and knocked out from crashing into a wall).

The crowd cheers as Sonic groans and fell to the ground, fainted away.

-------

"Mario, come on!" Sonic groans back in reality as he slapped his forehead in disbelief. "That didn't happen."

"Oh, try-a telling it to-a those Bullies." Mario whispered to Sonic in concern.

"Uh oh. They aren't happy." Emerl said in concern. Sonic turns to see the Bullies nearby, snorting at the hedgehog. He looks down and saw that he's wearing a red shirt...which the hedgehog had forgotten about until now!

"Gah! Why did I wear red today of all days?!" Sonic screams as he makes a run for it with the mad Bullies pursuing him.

As Sonic is chased off by the Bullies, Emerl shakes his head as he saw Tessa and Vanessa, still in Mexican garb, going up to Mario, giggling, "Senor Mario!"

Mario smirks as he takes his usual hat off, putting his matador hat while saying, "Senoritas!" The matador laughs as he grabbed the girls under his arms. "Ole!"

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

The short comes to an end as Mario did a pose, unaware of Sonic screaming as he runs off with the Bullies still chasing him.
