Chapters[edit]
Stage 1[edit]
とりつかれたルイージ！！
Mario,Luigi andYoshi need to return to theValley of Bowser and save the realPrincess Peach, but the cave entrance has returned to the bottom of the sea. The trio notices aSunken Airship not too far from theChocolate Island coast and decide to check inside for some clues. UsingBalloon Yoshi, the three reach the shipwreck, diving into it just as some flying enemies come for them.
Inside the shipwreck, Mario and his friends find a bunch ofDisappearing Boo Buddies. Using a giant painted sack to disguise themselves as aBig Boo, the heroes passes by. A skittishBoo tosses acoin on the ground and Mario jumps out to get it, revealing their disguise. The Boos attack them, but Mario and Yoshi manages to escape, leaving Luigi behind. When they notice this, Luigi comes back, but is much more angry and violent. Yoshi realizes that he was possessed by the Disappearing Boos.
Mario and Yoshi fight back, but each hit makes the possessed Luigi stronger and angrier. He grabs a? Block and points to Mario and Yoshi: avine sprouts out of the block and the two become tied and strangled by it. Mario notices an old ? Block and, making Yoshi hitting it, aSuper Leaf comes out. Mario grabs it, becomingRaccoon Mario. With one tail whip, Mario breaks free of the vine and hits Luigi, making him puke out all the Boos that possessed him. Luigi thanks Mario and the trio continues their exploration.
After entering aWarp Pipe, the three finds themselves in a tall and empty space, falling down withKoopa Paratroopas andFloating Mines. In the middle of the enemy swarm, Yoshi notices aSuper Star and Mario touches it with his tail, making it larger and invincible. The three fall to the flooded bottom of the hall, where they find amagic ball. After grabbing it, the shipwreck shakes, and they go out to check, hoping to find the emerging Valley of Bowser entrance, not noticing that it is right under them.
Stage 2[edit]
While traversing the Valley of Bowser, the trio findsBowser's New Year Shrine. Yoshi starts feeling ill and informs the Mario Bros. that he needs to go to the bathroom and goes behind a rock. In look for toilet paper, Yoshi finds aOfuda and, ignoring the sign warning not to, removes it from the wall. Immediately after, the wall breaks and aBony Beetle comes out of it. Meanwhile, Bowser is takingPeach to the shrine with theKoopa Clown Car, but seeing the heroes and the freed Bony Beetle, Bowser flees, not before mocking Mario and wishing him good luck with the enemy.
The Bony Beetle attacks Mario with laser eyes. Yoshi, returning from his bathroom break, tries to eat it, but it is too large for him. After almost being impaled by its spikes, the trio tries to run for it, but is trapped by the spikes shot at them. However, Yoshi manages to free them all with a powerful fart. The "explosion" makes Mario bump on the shrine's offer box, making aDragon Coin pop outside. Yoshi tries to eat it, believing it is a chocolate coin, but before he can gulp it, his tongue gets transformed into a longer tongue. Mario decides to use this and wraps the tongue around the Bony Beetle. He then pulls the tongue, making the enemy spin like a whirligig, defeating it.
The Bowser shrine is renamed to Yoshi, who pleads with Mario to pray that his tongue returns to its normal size.
Stage 3[edit]
お
All ofBowser's Minions are having a New Year party atBowser's Castle:Spinies are dressed likeKadomatsu,Thwomps are mashingmochi, and Bowser is making silly dances to please Peach. Bowser then makes an announcement, he will give anotoshidama to the one that will defeat Mario. No-one accepts, but Bowser shows that Mario, his friends, and theirpower-ups are celebrating too, and are now tipsy from thesake. Everyone accepts and runs to Mario's location:Valley of Bowser 2.
Kamek and the troop initially fight each other to see who will kill Mario, but Kamek calms everyone down, proposing to work together, then he will duplicate the price and divide it between each other. That said, the minions attacks Mario: first, a bunch ofBob-ombs dressed up like shuttlecocks are tossed at them, then aMonty Mole pretending to be a balloon, aSpike Top-dreidel and lastly aChargin’ Chuck tackles at Mario, decomposing his face. Mario tries to use the power-ups, but they are sleeping intoxicated.
Kamek orders the minions to jump at them, but before they can get them, Mario, Luigi and Yoshi find themselves on a solid platform that raises up, making the troop slam into the wall. Avoiding being crushed on the ceiling thanks to a hole, the heroes are now safe, but Kamek uses magic to destroy the walls. However, he keeps missing them, crushing his allies with the debris instead. Kamek tries to appear in front of them and block the path, but is hit by another solid platform and adiagonal platform, falling to the ground unconscious.
It appears to be over, but a late minion arrives: the Thwomp that was squashing the mochi (stuck in theusu). Mario is not scared, but the Thwomp spills the mashed mochi on the three, trapping them in the sticky sweet. Mario tries to fly out and, thanks to Yoshi eating the mochi at his feet, flies towards theGiant Gate. Hitting the highest point, Mario obtains 50Bonus Stars and uses them to defeat the Thwomp, throwing them at it. Mario has won against the whole troop, but aBig Steely sent by Bowser rolls and crushes Luigi and Yoshi. Happy, Bowser gives the otoshidama to himself.
Stage 4[edit]
マリオの
The trio finds a natural hot spring. Luigi is, as always, suspicious and notices a sign: the sign states that it is theWarp Zone to other games. Before Luigi can warn his friends, Mario and Yoshi have already dived in. Mario suddenly finds himself in a forest and, immediately after, aknight stabs him in the butt with a trident. Furious, Mario punches him, and only then he notices that he is holding a sword, theKinoko Sword.
Someone else jumps at Mario, but it is just Yoshi, back inshield form. The two hear Luigi's voice: Luigi explains that he can see them and communicate with them from theSuper Mario World side of the Warp Zone. Judging by the situation, Luigi realizes they are inThe Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past side of the lake: to return to their game, they need to find Hyrule's Warp Zone.
While looking for it, Mario chops some bushes, collectingRupees, but they are suddenly attacked by a group ofOctoroks. Mario slashes at them with no problem, but he is then shot by twoZora. This decreases Mario'sLife Gauge and a beeping sound is heard by them. Luigi tells Mario he needs to revitalize his health bar to make it stop. Afaerie flies by to help Mario, but Yoshi eats her. Mario yells at him, but Yoshi points to another flying being and Mario catches it, but it is abee which stings Mario, increasing the beeping sound.
Yoshi finds afaerie fountain and drags Mario in it. Inside, they meet anugly Bowser-faced faerie which kisses Mario, replenishing his heart. Trying to forget this traumatic experience, Mario and Yoshi leaves and encounters anArmos that Mario defeats by crushing it with theStatue form. Right after, Mario is struck by a lightning spell cast byAgahnim, the main antagonist of the game. Agahnim strikes again, but Yoshi eats his spell and tries to spit it back at him, but, despite hitting him, Agahnim is not hurt by it.
Being hurt, Mario's beeping sound resumes and the Fat Faerie comes to his aid. Too scared of another of her kisses, Mario pretends to be dead and Agahnim prepares the finishing blow. Quickly, Luigi takes out someSuper Mushrooms and tosses them in the lake. The Mushroom falls on the Kinoko Sword, making it the Super Kinoko Sword. With aSpin Attack, Mario defeats Agahnim. The Fat Faerie accompanies Mario and Yoshi to theHyrule's SNES Warp Zone, and the two dive in.
However, instead of going back toDinosaur Land, Mario and Yoshi (now back to normal) find themselves inMute City, right in the middle of the track, running away from theBlue Falcon, theWild Goose and theFire Stingray.
Stage 5[edit]
かぜに
Kamek just finished a secret weapon known asKing Virus, a hybrid of all the threeDr. Mario'sviruses, provoking a deadly cold that only works on humans (but does cause a little cold to Bowser). The virus is shot, viacannon, towards Mario, landing right in his mouth. Mario starts feeling so cold that not even Yoshi's fire breath can warm him.
Suddenly, aDiggin' Chuck appears and Yoshi shoves Luigi and Mario, yelling at them to run, but Luigi hits his head and falls unconscious, while Mario is too cold to move. The Chuck starts digging out boulders that Yoshi eats and spits back at him, so the Chuck digs out a giant boulder that flattens Yoshi after he tries to, initially, run on it. The Chuck takes advantage of the situation and tosses Yoshi in a hole that he then fills with dirt.
Between the rocks, Yoshi finds aflashing shell and eats it. With the power ofwings, fire breath and earthquaking stomp, Yoshi escapes his grave and defeats the Chuck, trapping him in anegg. Meanwhile, Mario sneezes so hard that the King Virus (and a river of mucus) comes out from his nose, finally curing him of the strong cold. Meanwhile, a chilled Bowser has watched everything from hidden cameras and blames Kamek for his failed plan, while the wizard is curing him withcapsules.
Stage 6[edit]
クッパ
Bowser's Castle is in sight, but to reach it, the heroes need to pass over a cliff. Mario tries to fly over, but the ceiling has a bunch of hangingPara-bombs, preventing flying over the cliff without touching them. Luigi notices a bridge ofDotted Line Blocks, with Yoshi explaining that they need to find their corresponding! Switch, hidden somewhere in the Dinosaur Land in aSwitch Palace. Using theStar World, the three return to theForest of Illusion.
They come across a pond where a sign reveals it ismagic and inhabited by a kind and generous faerie. Mario tosses aMushroom inside, but a text-box states that it is not enough, so Mario tosses all of their items. The faerie finally comes out and asks if they dropped their items or a pure gold Mushroom. Luigi tries to answer honestly, but Mario pushes him away and, driven by greed, replies they dropped both. Hating the liars, the faerie disappears, taking their items with her.
An old hooded man comes to them and asks if Mario can lend him hiscape. Mario is about to refuse, but Luigi hits him with ahammer and gives him Mario's cape. To repay their kindness, the old man offers to guide them to "the Switch". They arrive at a clearing, where a light switch is present. Mario is furious that they have been led to the wrong place. Just then, the old man and the lake faerie reveal themselves to be aKoopa Troopa and aSumo Brother respectively.
The two start a TV quiz show in which Mario has to guess the silhouette of an enemy behind a curtain. After failing to guess, the two Koopas make the enemy enter: it is theReznors, which the Sumo Brother sends to Mario. Mario shoves Yoshi into their wheel, making three of them fall. The last Reznor standing charges at Mario, unable to be helped (due to the TV show rules) by his friends, and is sent flying, landing right on theBlue Switch Palace. Mario enters it, but inside, he finds an army of Spinies. Scared, Mario backs off right on aGray P Switch. After activating it, the Spinies turn intoGray Coins and Mario collects them, obtaining many 1-UPs.
The Reznor comes to the Switch Palace and orders Mario to come out, but an army ofninety-nine Marios comes out and attacks it. Luigi and Yoshi reach him and, after identifying the real Mario with a coin, the trio returns to the Valley of Bowser, but when they reach the bridge, Mario realizes that he forgot to activate the ! Switch.
Stage 7[edit]
ハックン
Now forced to take an alternative route to the castle, Mario decides to speed things up and use thePegasus Boots he took from Hyrule (meanwhile in Hyrule,Link is having trouble finding them). With Yoshi and Luigi holding his cape, Mario runs towards the castle, but he does not manage to stop and goes past the castle. Bowser and Kamek notice them and happily see that they have just crashed into the Ninja Village.
After tossing away the "useless boots", darkness falls on the trio. Mario and Yoshi mistake it for night and go to sleep, but the "darkness" is revealed to be aNinji army, led by the elderHakkunsai, instructed to capture Mario and his friends. A net is tossed and the trio is captured. However, when the Ninjis uncover the net, Mario and his friends are gone, and some logs are in their place, making the Ninjis think they used a substitution technique. Hakkunsai gives the order to find them, but then the Ninjis see the logs sneakily escape: Mario and his friends are just disguised as logs.
Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi ditch the costumes and try to run for it. First, Mario triggers a trap and almost is stabbed by bamboo spears, but manages to block them. Mario grabs one of them and uses it to hit a Ninji on the head, causing a bump, but the Ninji substitutes the bump with aPokey that is eaten by Yoshi. A female Ninji tries to avenge her friend by summoning aBlargg that bites and burns Luigi, however, Mario soaks the Blargg with a watering can, making it small like a lizard. Angry, Hakkunsai summons a giant frog, but the frog is an inflatable balloon and the female Ninji exaggerates with the pumping, making it pop.
Furious, Hakkunsai first throws aGrinder like a shuriken, but Mario manages to partially stop it, resulting in a little scratch. Hakkunsai then uses aBall 'N' Chain and hits Luigi, sending him against aHidden Block that was studying the Ninja way by spying the Ninji. Luigi asks him for help and is turned intoan invincible star. Mario tosses him against the Ninjis, defeating them and hurting his brother in the process.
Stage 8[edit]
The trio has reachedLarry's Castle, but Mario cannot help feeling sad for not having received chocolate for St. Valentine. In the castle, Mario finds a heart-shaped box on asnake platform and jumps on to get it. The snake platform takes him toLarry's floating platform. Larry commands the snake platform to toss Mario in thelava. Mario is burnt, but is still alive, but the snake platform blocks repeatedly hit him and then crush him. Yoshi and Luigi take the flattened Mario and try to help him, but Mario is already dead.
Mario as a ghost appears and tries to be noticed by his friends, but cannot. SomeEeries come and drag him intoHell. In Hell, Mario meets a giant bearded Bowser: he presents himself as Enma Daiō, an ancestor of Bowser, and he was self-proclaimed to be his personal punisher for all the bad things he did to Bowser's minions and the deceasedKoopalings. Mario is tossed in a pit where he faces all of his victims, from the firstGoomba he ever crushed toMorton.
Morton is the first one to torture him with a deaf-tone song that knocks out all the ghosts. Mario tries to burn them with afireball, but it does not work on the dead. For the second punishment, Mario is tossed in a sea of spikes, but Mario saves himself with the Statue form. A chipped spike hits one of the ghosts, and Mario finally finds a way to hurt them, continuing to break the spikes and launching at them. Furious, Enma summonsWendy's ghost.
Wendy's punishment is giving Mario's St. Valentine chocolate. Mario refuses, but they are forced down their throat. Wendy then reveals those were Bob-ombs covered in chocolate. One of the fuses is stuck in Mario's teeth, and Wendy ignites it. The ghosts start shoving Mario to the others, like a hot potato, until Mario is passed to Enma, and he burps an explosion to his face. Having had enough of this circus, Enma agrees that his successors can endure Mario a little longer and kicks him out of Hell and the afterlife. Mario resuscitates, scaring Luigi and Yoshi and angering Larry in the process.
Stage 9[edit]
It is time to fight Larry, but the Koopaling teleports away, far in the depths of the castle. The trio chases him, avoidingwooden spears and Ball 'N' Chains, but is soon blocked by a wall of blocks. Mario tries to smash the blocks using Yoshi as a club, but the hit block transforms intoDry Bones: the work of Kamek. Kamek, once again, turns himself invisible and gives Mario a difficult time. In the end, Luigi uses theFire Flowers pollen to locate Kamek and Mario defeats him with a fireball.
The trio arrives at Larry's room. After being crushed by aPillar, Mario is attacked by three Lava Bubbles but manages to barely grab to Larry's flying platform. Meanwhile, Yoshi finds the last of his eggs taken hostage by the Koopalings and reunites it with the other six eggs he kept in his belly. Larry orders the Fire Bubbles to burn Yoshi and his eggs. Yoshi puts himself in front of the eggs and manages to partially protect them from the Lava Bubbles.
The warmth helps the eggs hatch earlier and sevenMini-Yoshis come out from them. The Babies eat the Lava Bubbles and then save Mario after Larry tosses him down his platform, giving him Super Mushroom syrup. Larry activates some cannons, but the Mini-Yoshis eat thecannonballs and Mario jumps at him and kicks down the platform. Larry falls into the lava and is then eaten by the Babies. The Yoshi's eggs have been saved, and only Peach is left to rescue.
Stage 10[edit]
マウスは
While on their way to Bowser's Castle, the trio finds a big TV with aSNES and a copy ofMario Paint. Luigi starts to draw while Yoshi tries to. Mario asks him to make him a portrait. The first version comes out poorly, but with the second one, Yoshi draws Mario like he sees him: like a big and ugly monster (complete with tail, fangs and fire breath). About to cancel the drawing, Yoshi notices a strange and new icon with Bowser's face on it. After pressing it, theMonster Mario jumps out from the screen.
As he later tests with awatermelon, Yoshi discovers that the Bowser icon makes their drawing come to life. The Monster Mario attacks them. Yoshi tries to wash him out with water, but it does not work. He then runs to the mouse, but the Monster blocks him and pukes paint all over him. Mario tries to reach the mouse, but he is burned by the fire breath. Mario then throws a Super Mushroom to the mouse, making the eraser come out. Mario uses it to cut and defeat the Monster Mario.
At Bowser's Castle, Bowser is for once happy that Mario passed one of his traps: at least he can now remove the monsters he created with the Bowser icon.
Stage 11[edit]
クライマックス！！ マリオ
Part 1[edit]
After entering Bowser's Castle, Mario tries to locate the betterdoor of the first hall, but an anthropomorphic Super Mushroom indicates to them a "good door": the one numbered "2.5". Mario, however, notices that it is too small for them, so the Mushroom makes themsmall, by hitting them withFuzzies. The room, however, it is a trap: the Mushroom is revealed to be Kamek. Being small, the trio escapes from his spells and newspaper roll.
Running away, Mario realizes that he lost all of their power-ups (back in chapter 6), but they come across aGoomba who sells power-ups. Mario tries to buy a Super Star, but has just one coin, and the only thing he can afford is a yellowKoopa Shell. Kamek finds them and Mario, in order to avoid the spell, dives in the shell and becomesShell Mario. He then strikes at Kamek, defeating him. Defeated, Kamek accepts in giving them back their normal sizes (not before getting a little revenge by enlarging Mario).
The trio reaches the second hall of doors and enters the 7th Door, a choice that makes Bowser happy. The three come across many fire-breathingBowser Statues and a pair of ajumping variant. Even with a bit of difficulty, Mario and his friends take care of the statues. The Koopas are worried, but Bowser makes a larger statue emerge from a lava pool. Mario tries to break it with a punch, but it is harder than the other statues. This is because it is the re-builtMekakuppa, repainted to be disguised as a statue. However, being poorly re-built, the Mekakuppa ends up shattering itself after a missed punch that hits the wall. After a cape twirl, the Mekakuppa is destroyed, making Bowser upset.
Part 2[edit]
Some Ninjis are preparing an ambush in the castle'sdark hall. Mario and his friends arrive and try to use a lightbulb, trying to attach the plug. Luigi turns on the spotlight, and Mario notices he was plugging it to Yoshi's nostrils, making him sneeze and blowing the leaping Ninjis straight into the lava. The rooftop of the castle is reached, and the trio faces Bowser (who fell asleep while waiting for them) on his Koopa Clown Car, where Peach is trapped, Bowser even teases Mario by tying Peach and using her like a yo-yo.
The final battle begins: Bowser throwsMechakoopas, but Yoshi eats them all and spits a ball of them at Bowser, hitting him. Angry, Bowser flips his flying transportation and makes a Steely fall, but Mario sends it back with a golf club. Angrier than before, Bowser steals aCape Feather from theItem Stock and becomesCaped Bowser, but his massive weight does not let him fly, though he crushes Luigi and Yoshi in the process. To help Mario, Peach tosses a Super Mushroom, but Bowser leans forwards and eats it and his head becomes larger. With a powerful and giant headbutt, Bowser defeats Mario, then traps him and his friends under the flipped Koopa Clown Car.
With Mario finally defeated, Bowser can finally commence his wedding with Peach, to which all of Bowser's Minions are invited. During the ceremony, Peach refuses to exchange the vows and, right at that moment, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi pop out from the wedding cake: the trio escaped from the Koopa Clown Car thanks to Yoshi, who ate an escape hole in the transportation. Bowser orders his minions to attack them, but they are all asleep thanks to the alcohol they drank. Only the underwater minions are awake in their water tanks, but they can not do much outside water.
Bowser is not finished yet and calls to him the non-living obstacles:Skewers, Grinders, Ball 'N' Chains,Chainsaws,Hotheads, andLil Sparkies. Each of the heroes is hit. Mario asks Luigi to pass him their power-ups, but the Grinder that passed over him destroyed them. Yoshi saves Mario from an incoming Skewer that hits a wall, breaking it. On the other side, Mario finds some captured power-ups. Bowser tries to stop them, but is hit with a hammer by Peach. Mario frees the power-ups and, using their combined powers, destroys the obstacles and the entire castle. Bowser is defeated and the trio happily returns toYoshi's Island with Peach, the Mini-Yoshis, and a tied-up Bowser.
