==Plot synopsis==
In the [[Wild West]], [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Toad]] begin to search for [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], who has been kidnapped by [[Bowser|Kid Koopa]] and taken into the desert. While traveling through the desert, Mario and Luigi notice a wanted poster on a nearby cactus, which Toad notices displays a reward of 10,000 gold pieces for capturing the Mario Bros. Hearing about the reward money, the cactus the poster is attached to, revealing itself to be a [[Pokey]], begins to attack Mario and Luigi, only to be stopped when it has a plunger thrown at its face.

In an abandoned mineshaft, Kid Koopa begins to taunt the captured Princess Toadstool, who is trapped in a cage. Koopa proceeds to give the Princess her food, three beans, and then leaves her, planning to starve her.

While trekking up a hill of sand, Mario, Luigi, and Toad are suddenly confronted by Kid Koopa's second-in-command, Sheriff [[Mouser]], and his brigade of [[Snifit]]s and [[Ostro]]s. After hearing Mouser's plan to capture them, Mario, Luigi, and Toad begin to run for it, with Mouser's group chasing them. The three escape from the sheriff and his men by crossing a flowing river, the Snifits falling into the river and over a waterfall trying to cross it themselves. Later, at a small town, Kid Koopa reprimands Mouser for his failure in capturing Mario, Luigi, and Toad. After having several threats thrown at him, Mouser begins trying to calm down Koopa, saying he will hire every available bounty hunter to track down Mario's group.

In the desert, Mario, Luigi, and Toad, now wearing cowboy outfits and riding on Ostros, come across another wanted poster, this one saying Mario and Luigi are wanted for 30,000 gold pieces. As Mario and Luigi talk about their unfortunate fate, a nearby [[Tweeter]], seeing the wanted poster, snickers to itself and flies away. As the Tweeter leaves, Mario and Luigi notice some nearby smoke signals spelling "HELP ME", followed by a crude image of Princess Toadstool. Realizing the messages must be from the Princess, Mario, Luigi, and Toad begin to travel to where the smoke signals are originating.

Reaching the mineshaft where the Princess is being held, Mario, Luigi, and Toad begin to enter the mine, only to be surrounded by Sheriff Mouser and his minions. Wielding a [[Cobrat]], Mouser suddenly gets in an argument with the Tweeter from before, who wants its reward money for telling Mouser of Mario, Luigi, and Toad's location.

With Mouser distracted, Mario, Luigi, and Toad, after knocking aside several Snifits, steal their Ostros and run. Mouser throws a [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]] at a nearby boulder, releasing it and causing to roll down at Mario's group. Running from the boulder, the three find themselves in the town, with an army of Cobrat-armed Pokeys in front of them. Mario, Luigi, and Toad escape into a building advertising free Italian food, but this turns out to be a trap set by Kid Koopa, who forces them into a nearby prison cell and crushes the cell key in his hand.

Coming up with a plan, Mario yells that he is dying of thirst. Mario's cries eventually attract an annoyed Sheriff Mouser, who taunts the brothers by drinking a glass of water in front of them. As Mouser finishes his drink, he notices the Mario Brothers playing a game of patty-cake. Wanting to know what the brothers are doing, Mouser is shoved by the two and has his hat knocked off, which Toad quickly hides himself under. Claiming to be delusional of thirst, the brothers are let off with a warning by Mouser, who leaves the building and enters a nearby, [[Koopa Troopa]]-filled bar.

Mouser, after setting his hat and Toad down on a table, goes to get a drink. With Mouser gone, Toad sees a bag of Bob-Ombs, which he grabs, then quickly leaves the bar. Outside, Toad sends a lit Bob-Omb into the bar, where it blows up, before running to the prison and blasting the wall down, freeing, as well as dazing, Mario and Luigi.

Seeing that the brothers are free, Sheriff Mouser sends a brigade of Koopa Troopas out to capture them. Mario, Luigi, and Toad manage to evade the Koopa Troopas and, taking some nearby Ostros, travel to the mine that Princess Toadstool is being held in. Inside the mine, Mario, Luigi, and Toad bump into a wall; using a [[Bomb Plant]] plucked from the ground, Toad blows up the wall, with Luigi caught in the blast. Mario, after happily seeing that Luigi survived the blast, rushes him outside for some fresh air, Luigi having inhaled a large amount of dust.

Outside, Mario, Luigi, and Toad find themselves surrounded by Kid Koopa and his Koopa Troopas. Koopa suddenly challenges Mario to a duel, a nearby [[Birdo]]'s cheeps acting as the countdown, only for Koopa to pull out a small [[Piranha Plant]] before the countdown is done and shoot a fireball at Mario's group. Dodging the fireball, Mario pulls out a Cobrat and begins firing a barrage of projectiles. With Kid Koopa and his minions distracted, Mario, Luigi, and Toad run into the mine and accidentally run into the pit that Princess Toadstool is being held in.

With Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool effectively trapped, Koopa begins to taunt them. As Koopa prepares to throw Bob-Ombs into the pit, the Mario Brothers, having reworked the piping system in the pit, send a blast of water upward, raising themselves, Toad, and Princess Toadstool to the surface, as well as washing Kid Koopa and his Koopa Troopas away.

Having been freed, Princess Toadstool asks how she can thank Mario. Mario says there are seven ways she can and begins to name various foods he wants, much to Princess Toadstool's delight.

==Dub edits==
*In the Spanish dub:
**In the scene where [[Mario]] and his friends meet [[Mouser|Sheriff Mouser]], in the original, [[Toad]] says he will fix [[Bowser|Kid Koopa]]'s wagon. [[Luigi]] then asks if it is broken, to which Sheriff Mouser replies that it is fine. In the dub, Toad instead says he will measure Kid Koopa's nose, along with everything else. Luigi then asks if Kid Koopa's nose is broken, to which Mouser replies that it is beautiful.
**The scene where Mario realizes his brother is in danger of suffocating is different between the original and dub. In the original, Luigi says that he cannot breathe and is a "gondola," to which Mario corrects by saying he is a goner. At this mention, he realizes he is in danger of suffocating and rushes him outside to give him fresh air. In the dub, Luigi instead says he is lost, to which Mario corrects him by saying he is a spaghetti pasta. He then realizes Luigi is in danger from him mentioning "breathe" and rushes him outside.
**After Mario calls Kid Koopa out when the latter cheats, Kid Koopa says that his [[List of implied characters#Poopa La Koopa|his grandfather]] always spoke dishonestly to be happy. In original, he instead says that his grandfather always said to "cheat, beat, and remarry."
