At a familiar shack at night, a logo is shown on top of the place with lights glowing behind it. A crowd is heard cheering as if waiting for someone to come out of the shack.

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

Indeed, as we hear a familiar horn honking as the door fell down. Mario came out, shouting, "IF I'M-A LYING, I'M-A CRYING!"

Heavy Metal Mario

The crowd is at the local cafe, watching Yoshi singing the Camptown Races in his own language to a Karaoke video. Although they can't understand a lick of what he's saying, they enjoyed it.

Sonic's group is watching as the hedgehog ask Mario, "Say, Mario? How come you don't get up there and sing?"

"Yeah, I bet you got one cool voice." Emerl said in agreement.

"Awww, mama mia." Mario said, rubbing his hair in embarrassment. "I-a don't wanna upstage Yoshi of-a course."

"Wait, upstage?" Sonic ask Mario puzzled. What is his best friend talking about?

"Well, I-a was a big rock star once."

"Wait, you a rock star?" Emerl ask Mario surprised though Sonic just glares at his best friend in disbelief.

"Yep! I-a started out in a garage band." Mario admits proudly as he gets into another one of his stories.

----------

In a house in the story, Mario was singing on the mic as his band played behind him. The drums played behind him with the drums having the words "Mario and the Miis" taped right on it.

Mario: Mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, maaaama mia
Mama mia, mama mia, mama maia, mama mia, mama mia
Maaama mia

Once the song is over, Mario smiles eagerly as he spoke, "We-a sing pretty good. Say, let's-a get a gig."

--------

And sure enough, the band got their gig at a truck stop. A crowd watched them performs a bit.

Mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, maaaama mia
Mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, mama mia
A ma-mama,ma-ma,a-ma-Maaama mia

Okay, granted, it's just Mario saying "mama mia" over and over, but the crowd loves it!

Once the song is done, Mario calls out eagerly, "Don't-a forget to-a tip your waitresses."

There's Tessa and Vanessa James serving drinks to the guests. Tessa giggles, "Wow, that so rocked!"

"Yeah, I know" Vanessa admits with a playful giggle.

The girls giggled a bit as they ask Mario, "So, you guys got a record?"

"Uh..." Mario said as he looks at his band. One of them shakes his head, they had to get a record apparently. "Be-a right back!"

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

And so, Mario and his band performs and record a song at a local recording studio to get their record.

Mama mia, mama mia., mama mia,maaaama mia
Mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, mama mia

The musicians work to ensure the pitch was right on the music. No need to makes it worst. Of course, during the song, a drummer named Mii Brawler kept playing but notices a flying landing on his eyes. Annoyed, he tries to floosh and spit it away, but got to the point that he tries to hit it with his drumsticks like mad.

During the madness, Mii Brawler didn't notice the rapid music he's playing as he screams, "Hold still!"

"What the...?" Mario ask confused as the rest of the band saw Mii Brawler playing rapidly. The one on guitar, Mii Swordsman, became impressed and plays loudly as the one on bass, Mii Gunner, follows suit. The musicians soon notice and excitedly turn the pitch up high. "Oh yeah! YEE OOOOH!!!"

The group plays their instrument loudly and more metalish. Now this is more better!

Mama mia, mama mia!
Roooooah! Mama mia, mama mia!

The folks outside the studio listen to the noise, looking amazed as one of them ask, "Wow, what's that sound?'

Now at this time, a talent agent named Nigel came out of his car, smiling at the music. He said, "Sounds like angels printing money!"

Inside the music, Mario was finishing up his loud song as he shouts at the top of his lungs.

MAMA MIIIIIIA!!! YEOW!!

Once the song is over, Mario kicks his mic away as Mii Brawler twirls his drumsticks like a pro. That was awesome!

The band hears applauding as Nigel came into the room, speaking, "You boys are good! I like it. Now what you need is a new name."

"The Mario Mario Experience!"Mii Swordsmans suggested thoughtfully.

"No, that name is taken!"

"A new name? A new name?" Mario ask thoughtfully as he ponders on what name to use.

"The Mario Mario Project." Mii Gunner said with a smile on his face, suggesting a name.

Nigel however scoffs, dismissing the idea as he said, "Too underrated."

"Oh, I get it! The Mario Weirdoes!" Mii Brawler exclaims, suggesting another name to try.

"No, you boys aren't even trying! You need a name that spells awesome!"

Just then a delivery man came in with a package, calling out, "Delivery! So where do you want this heavy metal, Mario?"

"That's-a it!" Mario exclaims excitedly. And thus, the new band "Heavy Metal Mario" was born!

-----------

The new band begins their journey into stardom; as rock music was heard, a record was spinning with the cover showing the name of the band "Heavy Metal Mario". It has an exaggerated artwork of Mario as monster in chains. Go fig.

Anyway, at a rock concert, the crowd cheers on as the spotlights shine on the band, playing their music and singing very loudly.

Mama mia! Mama mia! Mama mia!

The band played wildly and loudly as their main singer kept on singing like mad.

Mama mia! Mama mia! Mama mia!

Mario laughs as he hops right near the mic.

MAMA MIIIIIA!!

Mario made his tongue flicker a bit like an actual rock star. He shouts out, "I-a wanna hear you! MAMA MIA!"

"MAMA MIA!" The girls in Heavy Metal gears shouts out excitedly in the crowd.

"MAMA MIA!"

"MAMA MIA!!" The crowd shouted out excitedly now.

"MAMA MIIIIIIIA!!!" Mario shouts out eagerly as a huge balloon version of him came out with wings coming out. The lights flicks as the crowd cheers wildly.

---------

"You were Heavy Metal Mario?" Sonic ask Mario skeptically back in reality.

"Nope! We-a was Heavy Metal Mario." Mario explains with a smirk, making Sonic groan. Why did he even ask?

-----------

Back in the story, the fireworks died down at the stage. There's Sonic, in heavy metal clothes like the band, shouting excitedly to the crowd, "Oh yeah! Are you all ready to rock?!"

"Yeah!" Everyone cheers out excitedly for the new addition (so to speak).

"Oh, yeah! Way past cool!"

Sonic hops over to Mario near the mic. The two friends play the two keyboards as they sing.

Sonic: Mama mia!

Mario: Mama mia!

Sonic: Mama mia!

Mario: Mama mia!

Sonic: Mama mia!

"MAMA MIA!" Mario shouts out excitedly to the crowd eagerly.

"MAMA MIA!" Sonic shouts out even loudly as his best friend.

As the Miis Gunner and Brawler plays a bit loudly, Mii Swordsman hops and slid near the stage as he plays his guitar loudly. As the song came to an end, the band did a pose with flames blowing up behind them, much to the excitement of the crowd who cheers wildly, mainly for Mario and Sonic.

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

"Sorry, Mario, that didn't happen." Sonic in reality chuckles in disbelief. The hedgehog doesn't even recalled even being a rock star.

"Suit-a yourself," Mario remarks with a shrug as he looks up to the sky as if saying "better look up".

Emerl turns and looks up and exclaims, "Whoa!"

Sonic turns and looks up in shock. There it is, the giant scary Mario balloon floating above everyone. How long was it even up there?!

"Okay, I need a chili dog, bad." Sonic remarks with a groan of disbelief as he shakes his head at the balloon.

---------

As rock music plays, Mario is sparkling with bat wings up as he appears to end this short.

"WHOA!" Mario cheers wildly, flying upward to the sky and heads to Saturn, much to the disbelief of Sonic who glances at him. "MAMA MIIIIA!"
