The Beginning Arc

The Beginning Arc is the first story arc, but is not included in any Saga. Mania is a young child. This arc is divided into two storyies. In the first, Mania and his mother are forced out of their home forcing them to find a new one. The second story contains a little adventure as they search for a new home.

First Home
The story begins with Mania and his mother living in a Mipedian jungle. Due to the lack of rain, the jungle is dieing. Now that the place is much less lively, the Mipedians plan to conquer it. In addition, Mudeenu wants a exotic plant that grows only in these type of jungles. Tuckear, an acquaintance of Primarté, has joined with this party to protect her. Some reckless youth ruins their operation by making a big commotion when he spots one of the monkeys. Mania, now curious and a bit mischievous, throws a pie at one of the other Mipedians right as the army comes rushing in. They begin falling into various traps made by Mania, and Mudeenu is shown as the coward he is: leading the retreat.

Iparu Jungle
The second arc in the arc tells of the refugees' journey to find a new home. Primarté knows of a jungle in which "The Great Pie Maker" lives. Mania inhales the poison of a Sleeping Pontoo. Primarté gets affected as well while rescuing her son. They wake up to a pleasant smell. Mania gets hungry and starts to go, but Primarté leads the way. While heading toward the smell, Mania discovers a mirage bridge supposedly instituted by Iparu. Falling into a river, he is carried down into a lake with steam spouts. After getting blown into the air and plunging back into the lank, Mania rejoins his mother. Primarté heads back upstream to find a narrow place to cross; she uses a Vine Snare attack to form a bridge. Continuing to the scent, they arrive at a stone cliff with a hut on top. Using a giant mushroom as a spring, they are launched to their destination. Mania runs to the hut, but stops suddenly when he sees a copy of himself in the doorway. After some dialog, Iparu transforms from looking like Mania back into himself. Then they all go inside to eat lunch after which Iparu invites them to live with him.

Original and Current Differences

 * In the original, Mania was already grown by the time of the jungle's drought.
 * Mudeenu? Where did he come from?
 * The Dragon Ball Z reference "over 9000" was removed in addition with the ultimate pi due to Mania now not being old enough to have calculated 9001 digits of pi.
 * The old Mipedian is given the name Tuckear.
 * The Iparu jungle arc is added.
