Mario wears a priest's tunic and sets off on his journey, but on his arrival he discovers with astonishment that Father Etienne has just died, the inhabitants of the village thus think that Mario is the new parish priest.

Mario is in the game and thus becomes the new Don Mario, to the surprise much appreciated by the people for his ability to be able to solve ordinary problems. But unfortunately for him it is impossible to get out of that village given the lack of cars and public transport.
