==Plot synopsis==

[[Mario]] and his friends are traveling through space and are on their way to help a group of [[Toad (species)|Mushroom space colonists]]. The colonists are in trouble as [[Bowser|Darth Koopa]] is threatening to blow up [[Mushroom Planet|their planet]]. Mario's group is unaware they are being pursued by Darth Koopa's [[Koop Star]].

While Mario flies through space, [[Luigi]] gulps and tells him to check his rearview video screen. Upon doing so, he notices that the Koop Star is following them, so he turns on the ship's "Fasten Seatbelts" light and speeds up.

Not wanting Princess Toadstool to escape, Darth Koopa orders [[Mouser]], who is piloting Koop Star, to chase them. After telling him to close in on Mario and his friends and activate the tractor beam, Darth Koopa prepares his [[Stormtroopa]]s for boarding their spacecraft; telling them to do whatever they want to the Marios and Toad, but to take [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] prisoner.

After bringing Mario's group to a platform above the garbage disposal, Mouser explains that it will slice and compact them and eject their remains  into space. He then pushes a button, dropping Mario and his friends down into the garbage disposal. While falling, Mario pulls out his plunger and uses it to hang onto the wall while his friends grab onto him. The thought of garbage disposals reminds him of all the ones that he and Luigi used to fix back in [[Brooklyn]], and Luigi, pulling out the utensils that he was saving for lunch, remarks that they always had silverware stuck inside of them. Mario tells Luigi to drop the utensils, which he does, causing them to jam the garbage disposal's saws, bringing them to a halt, just as Mario's plunger loses its grip on the wall. With the saws turned off, his group safely falls past them.

His friends have landed upon what appears to be a red rock and are unsure of what it is, except for the fact that it is hard. Toad kicks it, revealing itself to be part of a large [[Cobrat]]. They flee from it and run into Luigi, who is running from the Pokey. The Cobrat spits a bullet, which ends up hitting the Pokey, blowing it up. Mario comes up with a plan and tells the others to follow him while he runs in circles around the Cobrat. Watching them run in circles causes it to coil up, only for it to uncoil, making itself dizzy. Mario and his friends leap onto the Cobrat's back, and Mario uses his plunger as reins for the Cobrat so that they can ride it to the [[Mushroom Colony]]. Back onboard Koop Star, Mouser informs Darth Koopa that the Birdo Ray is set to fire in sixteen minutes.  

Having arrived at the colony, Princess Toadstool explains to her friends and [[Obi-Wan Toadi]] that they need to do something to save the planet. Mario requests to have lunch, but Obi-Wan Toadi explains that they do not have time. When Princess Toadstool points out that they cannot give up, Obi-Wan Toadi explains that someone needs to penetrate Koop Star in a [[Mushroom Starfighter]] so they can disable the Birdo Ray. With the promise that he will receive lunch afterwards, Mario agrees to take on the task and boards a Starfighter. Before he leaves, Obi-Wan Toadi presents him with a pizza to bolster his spirts, and bids him good luck. Mario then takes off, and after Obi-Wan Toadi gives the signal, his friends take off after him in their own Starfighters.

After flying into space, the spacecrafts are confronted by [[Stormtroopa Starfighter]]s, of which they dodge the attacks of. Toad succeeds in blasting one of them, while Princess Toadstool dodges one attacking from behind, only for it to hit a second Starfighter. With a path cleared, Mario flies over to Koop Star and travels through a groove along the surface of the spacecraft. A Stormtroopa Starfighter attacks him from behind, but he swerves away from a wall, which the Stormtroopa crashes into. Another Starfighter attempts to shoot Mario down, but Toad blows it up.
