K's for the Koopalings, fighting them is a bummer,
L's for Luigi, the lesser-known plumber.
M is for Mario, Miyamoto's creation,
N's for Nintendo, the video game sensation!
O is for Ostro, or was Birdo his name?
P's for the Princess, needing saved every game!
Q's for "Queen Koopa", but where did she go?
R's for Raccoon Tail, to fly from below.
S is for Starman, an invincible guy,
T is for Toad, your helpful ally.
U's Underground, with Pipes of all sorts,

W is for Wario, just slightly insane,
X is for eXit, through vase, door, or drain.
Y is for Yoshi, 'cause eating is fun,

Well, that explains Mario, simple as can be…
So how about playing Nintendo with me?
