Character Overview

As a playable character, Mark earns point bonuses by completing harvest chains of Eggplant tiles. Harvesting chains of Corn will earn him extra skill points that will allow the player to use his Special Skill, Dog Rush, much earlier in matches. His skill changes all edge tiles on the field into harvest-ready vegetables. The skill also removes stones from the field, transforming them back into vegetable tiles.

Mark	Yaaaawn...What a strange dream...Well, time to get to work.
Mark	Okay, how are my crops doing today?
Mark	?!
Mark	Wh-What the heck?! The crops are growing like crazy! What on earth is happening!?
Mark	Well, at least I'll have a great harvest this season!
???	Mark!!!
Mark	Oh, hey! Morning, Chelsea!
Chelsea	pant pant H-Hey, Mark.
Chelsea	Have you seen the town? There are vegetables everywhere!
Chelsea	Oh no! Your farm is covered in them too!
Mark	Uh oh. You mean this is happening all over the place?
Chelsea	Yeah, but we can't worry about that now. Your farm is about to be overrun!
Chelsea	I'll help you harvest some of these crops!
Mark	Okay, Chelsea. Thanks!
Mark	Let's go!
Puzzle Time!	Match Mode: Team Score Time Limit: 3 minutes Score Needed: 5000 Points
Mark	whew Did we get enough of them?
Chelsea	I think so!
Chelsea	Well done, Mark!
Mark	I couldn't have done it without you, Chelsea! Thanks!
Chelsea	No problem! It wasn't too tough.
Chelsea	The whole village is like that, though. This is going to be a lot of work...
Mark	Boy, I'm exhausted just thinking about it!
Chelsea	That tower has got to have something to do with this. Look at how it's glowing...
Mark	Huh? What tower?
Chelsea	You know, the one over there? The one that Wada and Shea guard?
Mark	Oh yeah. What do you mean by "it's glowing"?
Mark	Whoa! How long has that been going on?
Chelsea	What?! It's been doing that all morning! How could you not notice?
Mark	I don't know. I guess I was preoccupied with my crops.
Chelsea	Well, I can see why!
Chelsea	Anyway, I think there's something strange about that glow. Don't you?
Mark	Yeah! Maybe one of us should go check it out.
Chelsea	You're right. Shea may have some idea what's going on.
Chelsea	Who knows what's going on in the rest of the town, though? Maybe we should split up.
Mark	Sounds good! I'll go to the pond to talk to the Harvest Goddess. She must know something!
Chelsea	Sounds like a plan! I'll head for the tower. See you later, then!
Mark	Okay! Good luck!

Mark	Wow. It's just like Chelsea said...There are crops growing all over the place!
Mark	Hey, who's that over there?
Natalie	...
Mark	Natalie!!!
Natalie	Ack!
Natalie	M-Mark! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!
Mark	Ha ha... Sorry. You're not usually so distracted.
Natalie	Hey, it's a weird day. That tower is glowing, and we've got crops all over the place!
Natalie	Or are you so busy sneaking up on people that you didn't notice?
Mark	Okay, okay. I guess we should focus on this weird crop problem.
Mark	But before we do anything else, we'd better harvest some crops before they take over the town!
Natalie	Yeah, you're right.
Natalie	It looks like a lot of work. I'd better give you a hand.
Mark	Are you sure? Have you done any harvesting before, Natalie?
Natalie	Hey, do you think I'm an idiot?! I can handle harvesting some vegetables!
Natalie	Besides...
Mark	Besides?
Natalie	Mark, you...
Natalie	Ah! Forget it! Let's just get started already!
Mark	Okay, okay!

Mark	Are you okay? You didn't strain yourself, did you?
Natalie	What? I-I'm fine! That was a piece of cake!
Mark	That's good! Cause it looked like you were getting awfully tired there.
Natalie	...
Mark	Oh!
Natalie	What is it?
Mark	I forgot! I was going to the Harvest Goddess spring to look into the phenomenon!
Natalie	Gee, sorry I got you sidetracked.
Mark	Oh, no! Don't worry about it! I mean, I'm the one who offered to help.
Natalie	Oh yeah...
Mark	Well, I'm going to the spring! Look out for those vegetables!
Natalie	Mark, wait!
Mark	Hmm?
Natalie	I'll see what I can find out about this crop crisis. This island is my home too, you know.
Mark	Thanks, Natalie.
Natalie	I should be the one thanking you. You really helped me out back there.
Mark	Heh, anything for a lovely lady.
Natalie	L-Lovely lady? Hey, don't you try putting the moves on me, Romeo!
Mark	Yikes! Okay, I'm outta here!
