Plot
In a monstrous, volcanic world known as World Bowser, a scheming Koopa named Bowser plots against the Earth. He then discovers a princess named Princess Peach and falls in love, but believes that she won’t love him back. He then plots to capture her and force her to marry him.

On Earth, Mario and Luigi are two plumbers who live in Brooklyn and don’t have anything better to do with their lives. They attend a meeting ceremony where they are introduced to Peach, who is also the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario falls in love with her, but Luigi finds her suspicious after she tells them that she came from another realm. Suddenly, the Koopa tribe arrives in Brooklyn and captures Peach. Mario and Luigi soon after discover a Pipe in the middle of their Apartment and enter it.

They find themselves in the Mushroom Kingdom, and are introduced to Toad, the royal guard of Princess Peach. When the Toad tribe cries over the kidnapping of Peach, Mario insists on rescuing her from Bowser, much to the Toad tribe’s (and Luigi’s) disbelief. Mario recruits Luigi along for the journey and they are aided with a creature known as a Yoshi. And so, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi set out on a journey to save Princess Peach from the clutches of Lord Bowser.

In World Bowser, a Goomba alerts Bowser that Mario and Luigi are going after him to save Peach. Bowser sends out an army of Piranha Plants, hoping that those will take them out. However, Mario and Luigi evade the Plants and Bowser deems them a threat. He decides to call two disrespected Bounty Hunters, Wario and Waluigi, to find and capture Mario and Luigi. However, Wario and Waluigi are the dumbest Bounty Hunters in the area, so they don’t know what Mario and Luigi look or sound like.

Mario and Luigi find themselves in a haunted house inhabited by King Boo, a ghost who works for Bowser and tries to sabotage their mission. As Mario and Luigi escape, Wario and Waluigi find and corner them. Mario distracts Wario with a Wiggler and the two escape, but they end up on a bridge that is destroyed if more than one person runs on it. Mario and Luigi run on the bridge and outrun Wario and Waluigi, sending them down the cliff and away from the brothers. Mario then discovers that Bowser’s castle isn’t very far away. Luigi realizes that they stand a chance against Bowser.

Mario and Luigi arrive at Bowser’s castle, but Yoshi leaves due to a fear of the Koopa tribe and returns to the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario and Luigi enter the castle and battle an army of Goombas, ending up in Bowser’s castle and ready to save Peach. However, Bowser attacks them upon Mario and Luigi getting into an argument, and Luigi is captured by Bowser. Mario escapes, having lost hope of defeating Bowser and saving his brother. However, Yoshi and the Toad tribe arrive to help Mario and they enter Bowser’s castle again. However, Bowser defeats the Toads, also Yoshi, and fights Mario, who wins after a long battle. Mario frees Luigi and Peach, and they return home safely. Luigi asks Mario if they should return to Brooklyn, but they decide to stay in the Mushroom Kingdom to learn more about the world.

In a mid-credit scene, Bowser wakes up and finds himself near a jungle, which is inhabited by Donkey Kong.
