'''The story from the back cover:'''
<blockquote>'''The [[Mushroom Kingdom]] Is Hopping Mad'''<br>When [[Mushroom King|His Royal Highness]] is turned into a [[rabbit]] by the devious [[Morton|Morton Koopa]], only one plumber can save him. [[Luigi]] leaps into action to save the King from a life of hopelessly hopping&mdash;and almost becomes a [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] casualty himself!<br><br>As in all Nintendo Adventure Books, you control the action. Only you can make the choices that allow Luigi to beat Morton and the rest of the [[Koopalings|Koopa Kids]]. Help him crack codes, solve puzzles, conquer mazes, and subdue enemies. You and Luigi must outwit the Koopas at their own game&mdash;or go down in final defeat!</blockquote>
