Prologue

Everyone knows how the story goes. One day, an evil king known as Bowser Koopa attempted to have his revenge against all the Mushroom People for banishing the Koopas into the wretched world now known as Dark Land.

So, Bowser set a curse on these Mushroom People by turning them into brick. It had seemed that the Mushroom People were helpless against Bowser's black magic.

However, there was one soul, with purifying powers, that could free her people of this horrible curse. And that would be Princess Peach Toadstool. Knowing that this would thwart his evil plot, Bowser had sent his Goombas, traitors to the Mushroom People, to kidnap the Princess. And because Bowser's Castle was surrounded by evil magic, the Princess's powers were useless.

It had seemed that Bowser and his Koopa Troop had won the day. However, there was a brave warrior from a far-off land who was strong and brave enough to forge through soaring bullets, flailing hammers, and scorching fireballs. This man, better known as a plumber, was the world-famous Mario Mario.

Mario had saved the Princess countless times, through the craziest adventures, had met new friends, and fought mortal enemies. Mario's powers were limitless, he would never give up. No matter the circumstances, he would never rest until Princess Peach was safe from the clutches of the wrathful Koopa king.

And after more than 40 years of failure to seek his vengeance, Bowser became desperate. He had cared for Princess Peach and had made a few attempts to marry her, but only now he realized that holding her captive was what was hindering his plan, that that was the true weakness of his schemes all this time. So, he had no choice…but to end Peach's game.

And that's what happened. Now that Princess Peach, the only one who could counteract against black magic, had perished, the Mushroom Kingdom was in the palm of Bowser's hand. He released a huge bomb of black magic that had detonated and turned any Toad close by into a lifeless rock.

Mario and Luigi, now knowing that there was no goal to their game anymore, packed their bags, got on their Kart, and fled Toad Town…
