Plot
In another dimension, there is a tribe called the Koopas, who created a war land ruled by Bowser, who spies on the people in the Mushroom Kingdom. He spies on Princess Peach and plots to capture her and force her to be his bride.

On Earth, Mario and Luigi are plumbers in Brooklyn. Mario vows for something more in life, but Luigi says that they will always remain plumbers, because that’s all their good at. As they leave their jobs and return to their apartment, Mario discovers a pipe that leads to another Dimension. He and Luigi enter the pipe and find themselves in the Mushroom Kingdom. Luigi wants to return to Brooklyn, but Mario wants to stay in the Mushroom Kingdom so they can always go on adventures. They are introduced to Princess Peach by Toad as Bowser enters the Mushroom Kingdom to capture her. Bowser ends up capturing Peach, prompting Mario to try to save her, but he realizes that the adventure won’t be easy and convinces Luigi to tag along as his partner to save Peach.

In Bowser’s dimension, Bowser spies on Mario and Luigi. He deems them a threat and sends Wario and Waluigi to capture them. During their journey, Mario and Luigi are attacked by Goombas and escape them narrowly, winding up in the Dessert. As they continue to search for Bowser’s dimension, they fight a bunch of Koopas. Mario easily defeats them and grabs Luigi to go to a pipe. They are captured by a Magikoopa armed Kamek who inadvertently reveals Bowser’s plan to Mario and Luigi. Mario busts them out and they find themselves trapped in the home of King Boo, who tries to kill them. Mario and Luigi narrowly escape and enter the Pipe from earlier and wind up in World 3.

They find themselves in a Snow World, nowhere near Princess Peach. They escape again into a Pipe and find themselves in a Worm world (World 4) inhabited by Wigglers. As they try to escape, they are attacked by an army of Goombas, which scares Luigi to get into an argument with Mario that turns into a physical fight. They are suddenly found by Wario and Waluigi, who kill the Wigglers. Mario and Luigi escape Wario and Waluigi and find the pipe to World 5, a beach themed world owned by giant fish that try to eat Mario and Luigi. Wario and Waluigi find them again and follow them across the world, where they end up in another pipe that leads to World 6.

They wind up in World 6, a Mountain-themed world inhabited by Spikes (violent Boulder-throwing Koopas) who try to kill them. As Mario and Luigi continue to avert the Spikes, Bowser sends Wario and Waluigi after them again, but this time with flamethrowers. Mario and Luigi narrowly escape the Spikes and wind up on a nearly-broken bridge that falls every time they run. Wario and Waluigi arrive and try to shoot them with the Flamethrowers, and Mario and Luigi run across the bridge, breaking it as they get onto it. Mario and Luigi get into another argument until they realize that Bowser wants them to stop trying to find Peach, and they team up again to find her.

They wind up in World 7, a Cloud-themed world on top of World 6. They are once again attacked by Wario and Waluigi, along with a Magikoopa at the same time. Mario overpowers them with a fire superpower that he learned in World 5 and defeats them. Mario and Luigi question Wario and Waluigi, who reveal that Bowser is plotting to rule the Mushroom Kingdom after marrying Peach and turning it into a dust-filled wasteland. Mario and Luigi plan to stop Bowser until they are attacked by a giant Boulder, which triggers Luigi to abandon Mario out of a fear of death. As Luigi leaves, Wario and Waluigi return once again and capture him, bringing him to Bowser. Tax Mario leaves World 7, it turns into a rainy wasteland as the Koopa Troopas, the henchmen of Bowser, capture everyone except for Mario, who travels through the World 8 Pipe and escapes.

Mario arrives in World 8, full of fury and rage after Luigi abandoned him, and prepares to kill Bowser and end their rivalry. As Mario evades every fire creature, every Dry Bones, every Magikoopa, and every Goomba, he arrives in Bowser’s castle. He finds that Bowser has captured Luigi and is preparing to kill him. Yoshi, who helped Mario escape World 6, arrives and tries to fight Bowser, but is attacked and knocked out. Mario arrives in the Throne Room, which he traps Luigi and Peach in a steel room and turns into lava. Mario uses his flying ability and goes after Bowser as he becomes a Giant Monster with Magikoopa powers. Mario evades Bowser as he swings his giant fists at Mario. He defeats the Goombas and finds a giant button that turns Bowser to normal and sinks the castle. Mario presses the button and Bowser transforms to normal, and is finally defeated once and for all. Mario saves Princess Peach and Luigi. Mario leaves with Peach on a Hot Air Balloon while Luigi joins the Toads. Mario tells Peach about his adventure, but Peach tells Mario that there are more worlds to explore.

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