Em um dia brilhante e ensolarado no Reino dos Cogumelos, Mario vai visitar a princesa, mas encontra seu castelo estranhamente vazio. Saltando através de imagens penduradas nas paredes, ele entra em 15 mundos mágicos em uma missão para coletar as 120 Estrelas do Poder roubadas pelo malvado Bowser e salvar o dia. Os vastos mundos do jogo estão repletos de obstáculos assustadores, itens escondidos, quebra-cabeças e mais de 30 tipos de inimigos. Aproveite a grande variedade de movimentos de Mario, incluindo correr, pular, nadar, pisar, socar e até dar cambalhotas para trás! Bonés especiais lhe dão poderes de curta duração, incluindo a capacidade de voar.
