Story

Bowser Is Back!!! The Mushroom Kingdom has been a peaceful place thanks to the brave deeds of Mario and Luigi. The Mushroom Kingdom forms an entrance to the Mushroom World where all is not well. Bowser has sent his 7 children to make mischirf as they please in the normally peaceful mushroom world. They stole the royal magic wads from each country in the Mushroom World and used them to turn their kings into animals. Mario and Luigi must recover the royal magic wands from Bowser's 7 kids to return the kings to their true forms. "Goodbye and good luck!," said the Princess and Toad as Mario and Luigi set off on their journey deep into the Mushroom World. "We took the 7 wands from the 7 kings. Each of us has one. Our father has instructed us to protect the wands." says Larry Koopa.

Background

One night Mario has a strange dream while sleeping. In this dream he saw a very long staircase that ended in a door. When the door was opened a vast new world lay before him. A voice declared the world as Subcon, and pleaded for Mario's help against a villian called Wart.

The next day Mario, Luigi, Toad and the Princess head out for a picnic. When they arrive at the site they spot a cave and investigate. To their surprise they find the same staircase Mario had seen in his dream. So their adventures in the land of Subcon had begun.
