giuseppe's origin story

Giuseppe & The Lost Isles
A browser game made in HTML5


In the heart of the Mushroom Kingdom, Giuseppe was known as a brilliant inventor, always tinkering with gadgets and coming up with new ideas to solve the kingdom’s problems. One day, he was hard at work in his lab on a groundbreaking invention designed to fix the Mushroom Kingdom’s growing plumbing issues. His brothers, Mario and Luigi, waited nearby, eager to see Giuseppe’s latest creation.

As he made his final adjustments, one of his specialized tools suddenly slipped from the workbench and fell to the ground. When Giuseppe bent down to pick it up, the tool vanished into thin air. Perplexed, he searched the floor, but it was nowhere to be found. He leaned closer to the spot, and in that moment, a mysterious energy enveloped him. A bright, shimmering light filled the room, and Giuseppe disappeared without a trace, leaving his brothers in stunned silence.

Transported to a Parallel World Giuseppe found himself in an unfamiliar land, the Lost Isles—a parallel world torn apart by corruption and darkness. This world was once beautiful, but its magic had become tainted, and the isles were falling into chaos. Legend had foretold of a hero from another world who would come to restore balance and save the Lost Isles from complete destruction.

With no way to return home, Giuseppe realized that his only option was to embark on a new journey. Armed with his courage, ingenuity, and the skills he had honed as an inventor, Giuseppe set out to collect the powerful Darkness Coins, which held the key to breaking the curse over the Lost Isles.

The Hero’s Journey As Giuseppe ventured through the ten corrupted worlds of the Lost Isles, he faced daunting challenges, powerful enemies, and fearsome bosses. Each world required him to use his wit and skills, not only as a fighter but as an inventor, solving puzzles and unlocking the secrets of the isles.

Over time, Giuseppe became a legendary figure in this parallel world, known as the one who brought light back to the darkest corners of the Lost Isles. His story spread throughout the lands, and the people saw him as their savior, the hero who could restore peace to their realm.there was somthing even bigger brewing that giuseppe didint know about

The Unexpected Twist Unbeknown to Giuseppe, back in the Mushroom Kingdom, his brothers Mario and Luigi had not given up on finding him. Desperate to locate their brother, they stumbled upon the same mysterious energy in his lab that had swallowed Giuseppe. The two brothers were sucked into a glowing pipe and transported into the Lost Isles.

However, the darkness that corrupted the Isles had grown stronger, feeding off the despair and conflict within the realm. When Mario and Luigi arrived, they were immediately corrupted by the dark energy that controlled the Lost Isles. Their once joyful, heroic spirits were twisted into something malevolent, turning them into destructive forces of chaos. No longer the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario and Luigi were now agents of corruption, seeking to rid the Lost Isles of its remaining hope and joy.

Giuseppe’s Dilemma As Giuseppe ventured deeper into the Lost Isles, rumors of two new dark figures spreading terror across the land reached him. He couldn't believe what he was hearing—these figures sounded eerily like his brothers. Giuseppe soon discovered the horrible truth: Mario and Luigi had been corrupted by the same dark forces he was fighting to destroy.

Now, Giuseppe’s mission became even more personal. Not only did he need to save the Lost Isles from destruction, but he also had to face his own brothers, who had become the very embodiment of the corruption he was trying to undo. The darkness had twisted them into powerful adversaries, and Giuseppe would have to find a way to defeat them—or perhaps, even save them—without falling victim to the same corruption.

The Final Showdown As Giuseppe collects the last of the Darkness Coins and prepares for the final battle in the Mixed Realm, he must confront Mario and Luigi, who are now the final bosses. It becomes a test of not just strength and strategy but also of brotherly love. Giuseppe realizes that the bond between the three brothers may be the only way to free Mario and Luigi from the corruption, but doing so will be his greatest challenge yet.
