Biography[]
Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Yoshi were out in the Enchanted Forest searching for the missing caveboy Oogtar. While assuring Yoshi that the forest was not haunted, Luigi accidentally bumps into a Koopa Wizard. Luigi apologizes by addressing him as a regular Koopa Wizard, but Princess Toadstool corrects him, claiming that the wizard was "Wisenheimer", the most terrible Koopa Wizard of them all. Wizenheimer angrily shouts out his correct name while summoning a bolt of lightning, scaring away Yoshi. He then orders Mario, Luigi, and Toadstool to jump down a Warp Tube to his haunted house, threatening to blow them up with a Bob-omb should they refuse. After they jump in, Wizenheimer follows them in, where he shackles the three in the basement. Toadstool demands to know what Wizenheimer wants from them, to which he coldly remarks that being evil was simply his nature. Before leaving, he taunts them that he loves to have his guests "hang" around.
Meanwhile, after Yoshi saves Oogtar from Piranha Plants and an angry Caterpillar, he tells the caveboy about Wizenheimer kidnapping the group and imprisoning them in his mansion. Dauntless, Oogtar marches over to Wizenheimer's house and knocks on the door, to which the wizard answers and orders him to scram. Oogtar demands to be brought to his friends. Wizenheimer sarcastically applies to Oogtar's request by warping the caveboy to the basement and chains him up as well.
Now realizing that it was left to him to save his friends, Yoshi muscles up his courage and rushes inside the haunted house, past Wizenheimer's traps and ghost minions. On the basement stairs, he is attacked by Wizenheimer himself, shooting Yoshi with magical spells. With advice from Oogtar to use his tongue, Yoshi snatches Wizenheimer's wand and eats it, leaving the Koopa Wizard powerless. Wizenheimer demands Yoshi to spit back up his wand, only for Yoshi to belch out a blast that cuts the prisoners' restraints. The now free Mario defeats Wizenheimer by jumping on his head, sending him tumbling down the stairs straight into the bowels of his own basement.
It is unknown what has happened to Wizenheimer afterwards.
Personality[]
