Plot summary[edit]
The story from the back cover:
Yoshi's Head Aches
EvilIggy Koopa has createda device to switch the brains of the creatures in theMushroom Worlds. When he gives Yoshi the brain of a sinisterKoopaling,Mario andLuigi jump into action. With the help ofDr. Sigmund Shrinkasaurus, they try to stop Iggy before all of their friends inDinosaur Land lose their heads!
As in all Nintendo Adventure Books, you control the action. Only you can make the choices that allow Mario and Luigi to halt the chaos caused by Iggy Koopa's brain twister machine. Help them crack codes, solve puzzles, conquer mazes, and subdue enemies. You and the Super Mario Bros. must outwit a whole new generation ofKoopa creeps—or go down in final defeat.
Items[edit]
An unidentified piece of paper is shown as well, but it is never collected. Presumably, it is thePlumber's Oath that Mario has Luigi memorize so they can identify each other no matter what bodies they are in.
