In the depths of space, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]] | In the depths of space, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are all aboard a [[Mario's rocketship|yellow spaceship]], which is currently traveling through a swarm of flaming meteors. Maneuvering past several meteors in his attempt to escape enemy [[Space Troopa]]s, minions of [[Bowser|King Koopa]], Mario fails to avoid one meteor, which strikes his spaceship. | ||
As Luigi, Toad | As Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool are knocked into a bulkhead of the spaceship by the impact of the meteor, Mario, regaining control of his spaceship, turns on his navigation system. Glancing at his activated navigation screen, Mario tells Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool that they are approaching the planet [[Quirk (planet)|Quirk]]; unfortunately, due to damage caused by the meteor striking his ship, Mario is forced to induce a crash landing on Quirk. | ||
As the spaceship begins to haphazardly approach Quirk, it steadily begins to break apart, losing fuel and its door; without a door on it, all the spaceship's supplies are sucked from it into the void of outer space. As Mario begins to bemoan the fate of his pasta, which had been sucked into space, his ship crashes into Quirk. | As the spaceship begins to haphazardly approach Quirk, it steadily begins to break apart, losing fuel and its door; without a door on it, all the spaceship's supplies are sucked from it into the void of outer space.

After successfully anchoring himself by putting a wrench in his overalls, Mario begins to say that he, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool need to somehow find spaceship fuel, supplies and food. Hearing Mario, two nearby Quirks, grateful to Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool for getting rid of Astro Mouser, say they can help them find what they need to survive. | After successfully anchoring himself by putting a wrench in his overalls, Mario begins to say that he, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool need to somehow find spaceship fuel, supplies and food.

Shortly after these two Quirks appear, Mario notices something sliding out from under the wreckage of his ship. Realizing that whatever is under his ship is a person, Mario offers the person his hand; unfortunately, this person is revealed to be an angry and [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]] wielding Astro Mouser, who has been flattened. | Shortly after these two Quirks appear, Mario notices something sliding out from under the wreckage of his ship.

As Astro Mouser drags himself from under the Mario's spaceship, the two Quirks quickly tell Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool to follow them to their barge. As the flattened Astro Mouser begins to throw flattened Bob-Ombs at them, Mario, Luigi, Toad, Princess Toadstool and their Quirk guides flee from him and leap onto a nearby river barge filled with pink rocks. | As Astro Mouser drags himself from under the Mario's spaceship, the two Quirks quickly tell Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool to follow them to their barge.

As the Quirks say this, Moon Man Koopa, riding his giant magnet from earlier, appears; chasing Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool, who are trying to escape in their barge, Moon Man Koopa activates his giant magnet, which slowly begins to pull the barge backwards. The Quirks, seeing their friends in peril, rush towards Moon Man Koopa's magnet and selflessly throw themselves into the path of it, their chains attaching them to the magnet; the magnet, completely covered in Quirks, loses its pull on Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool, who sail out of the Quirk Factory, while giving a sad look to the Quirks who saved them. | As the Quirks say this, Moon Man Koopa, riding his giant magnet from earlier, appears; chasing Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool, who are trying to escape in their barge, Moon Man Koopa activates his giant magnet, which slowly begins to pull the barge backwards.

In the desolate fields of Quirk, Mario is preparing to lift off in his recently repaired spaceship; while flying through the air, Mario is told by Princess Toadstool that the Quirks cannot simply be left in the clutches of Moon Man Koopa and his henchmen. Mario responds to Princess Toadstool's comment by saying that he will help the Quirks, but first Moon Man Koopa, who is quickly approaching in his ship, will have to be defeated. | In the desolate fields of Quirk, Mario is preparing to lift-off in his recently repaired spaceship; while flying through the air, Mario is told by Princess Toadstool that the Quirks cannot simply be left in the clutches of Moon Man Koopa and his henchmen.

As Moon Man Koopa begins his attack on Mario's spaceship, by firing flaming meteors at it, Mario has Luigi take the control's of his ship, as he begins to load the ship's ammunition, spaghetti and meatballs. As Moon Man Koopa continues his barrage of fiery meteors, Mario manages to counter his every move with blasts of spaghetti. Unfortunately, Mario's ship begins to lose speed as Moon Man Koopa's ship begins to catch up to it, preparing to ensnare it in his ship's openable "mouth". | As Moon Man Koopa begins his attack on Mario's spaceship, by firing flaming meteors at it, Mario has Luigi take the control's of his ship, as he begins to load the ship's ammunition, spaghetti and meatballs.

Unfortunately, Mario's ship begins to lose speed as Moon Man Koopa's ship begins to catch-up to it, preparing to ensnare it in his ship's openable "mouth". | ||
Trying to escape from Moon Man Koopa, Mario has Toad and Princess Toadstool dump everything unneeded from the spaceship. This proves futile though, as Moon Man Koopa continues to approach Mario's spaceship. Having dumped everything from the ship, Mario surmises that the only thing left to throw from the ship is the emergency pasta rations. As Mario prepares to dump the emergency pasta rations, he relents, stating that he just cannot do it; Princess Toadstool, grabbing Mario's hammer, smashes the case the emergency pasta ration is in, which causes it to be dumped out of the ship's exhaust port. | Trying to escape from Moon Man Koopa, Mario has Toad and Princess Toadstool dump everything unneeded from the spaceship.

Sent tumbling into space, the emergency pasta rations accidentally fall into the "mouth" of Moon Man Koopa's ship, causing it to malfunction and slow down, allowing Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool to escape. With his ship malfunctioning, Moon Man Koopa begins to try and land back on Quirk; only to be stopped by the Quirks, who, having removed their shackles by humming, unite together and begin to hum as loud as possible. The noise emitted by the Quirks causes Moon Man Koopa's ship to breakdown, forcing Moon Man Koopa to retreat, screaming revenge threats. The Quirks, now free from Moon Man Koopa, give Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool one last goodbye as they fly overhead. | Sent tumbling into space, the emergency pasta rations accidentally fall into the "mouth" of Moon Man Koopa's ship, causing it to malfunction and slow-down, allowing Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool to escape.
