{{ruby|序章|じょしょう}}プロローグ {{ruby|小|ちい}}さな{{ruby|森|もり}}の{{ruby|大|おお}}きな{{ruby|悪夢|あくむ}} (''Prologue: A big nightmare in a small forest'')

In the [[Wario's Woods (location)|Peaceful Woods]], the [[sprite|fairy]] [[Wanda]] is trying to concoct a potion that can grow a fairy to human size, however, her potions only results in loud explosions and a harsh scolding from the [[Chiyōrō-sama|elder]]. When Wanda's friends asks her why is she so fixated in creating the growth potion, one of them recalls that Wanda was smitten by a good-looking human that often comes to wash his face by the river. To their shock and surprise, the human in question is a young [[Mario]] with fake mustaches that he wears to impress [[Princess Peach|Peach]]. One day, Mario happens to accidentally squash Wanda and calls Peach to witness the creature. Wanda regains consciousness and immediately starts fawning at Mario, which makes Peach jealous, claiming she is actually going on a date with him. Right then, [[Birdo]] also appears, also wanting to go on a date with Mario.

Unbeknown to them, a young Wario (also armed with fake mustaches) is spying on them, envious of Mario's popularity with the girls. He sees a [[beehive]] and plans to throw it at Mario, but he trips onto the tree, making the beehive fall and angering the [[Beebee]]s. After escaping the bees, Wario finds himself lost in the middle of the forest. He stumbles onto a rock with strange symbols on it and, after moving it, finds a secret passage underneath it. Descending it, Wario arrives to an underground sanctuary, with a giant statue of a demon. A voice, belonging to said demon, [[Fauster]], thanks Wario for moving the seal that left him trapped underground for years, and asks him how would he like to be rewarded, in exchange for something he cares about his body. Giving up his hair, Wario asks to marry Peach, and Fauster summons his monster minions to help him. Wario orders them to bring Peach to him, describing her as a fair maiden in pink, even using his thought bubble for a reference, but the monsters returns with Birdo instead. After Wario specifies which lady in pink from the thought bubble he was talking about, the monsters depart.

Meanwhile, Peach and Wanda are still bickering on who should date Mario, and the princess wins by pointing out their size difference. While Wanda returns to creating the growth potion, Peach and Mario realize that Birdo disappeared. Right then, the monsters arrive and kidnap Peach, while commenting on how Wario will be satisfied of their work. Mario, angered, run after them, but Wanda stops him, after seeing he was about to step on the elder. The elder asks what is going on, and Mario explains that Wario sent some monsters to kindap Peach, to which the elder realizes from the monsters that Fauster was freed. Convinced that Wanda's exploding potions might help with the monsters, he gives her a magic amulet and also gives Mario the [[Yūsha Kinopio Kamen|brave Toad iron mask]], so that Mario can fake his identity and trick the enemy they're up against a harmless [[Toad (species)|Toad]]. Ready for the battle, Wanda and Mario go to Fauster's seal.

At the temple, a [[Dovo]] is marrying Peach to Wario against the princess' will, when Mario and Wanda barge in. Prepared, Wario drops a [[Thwomp]] onto Mario, but thanks to the iron marks, the Thwomp does not squash him and he crawls out unharmed. Using one of Wanda's [[bomb]], Mario decimates the monster army, forcing Wario to plead Fauster to destroy Mario. With pleasure, Fauster takes over Wario's body, becoming a gargantuan [[Satan Wario]]. Using his last clump of hair, Satan Wario summons a wave of monsters, ready to conquer the world. As the monsters overwhelm the Peaceful Woods, Wanda notices that the magic amulet is repelling away the monsters. After reaching Peach and Mario, Wanda passes him the amulet. By bouncing off the monsters, Mario reaches Satan Wario's back of the head and applies the amulet on it. The magic causes the giant demon to turn into stone, while his evil doing is undo and the monsters disappear.

While the fairies rejoice in the adverted crisis, Peach rewards Mario with a kiss. Wanda tries to console herself that she would have not won Mario's heart, small as she is, while Birdo wave goodbye to the reader.

====Chapter 1====
[[File:Chapter 1 WnM.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
{{ruby|第|だい}}1{{ruby|章|しょう}} {{ruby|悪|あく}}{{ruby|魔王|まおう}}ワリオ{{ruby|復活|あくむ}}す!! (''Chapter 1: The return of Wario (and) the Demon King!'')

Almost twenty years have passed, [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Mario]] grew and got married and are happily living in a farm near the Peaceful Woods, being occasionally visited by Wanda and her friends. One day, the pelican delivers them a [[Baby Luigi|baby]], which they name [[Luigi]]. The fairies celebrate the birth of Luigi, and Wanda is already at it with creating a potion to make Luigi grow faster, but as always the potion blows up in everyone's face. Sick and tired of this, the elder banishes Wanda from the fairy album and rips her page from it, much to Wanda's desperation. The pelican then flies to his next destination: the Fauster-Wario statue, where the reincarnated baby Wario asks to be dropped. The baby also asks the pelican to peel off the seal from the statue. Doing so, the pelican frees Fauster and his monsters again and the demon turns the bird into a [[Pidgit]], then rewards [[Wario]] by turning him into an adult: their revenge on Mario and the world domination will now begin.

The monsters begin to invade the Peaceful Woods again, and by the time Birdo arrives to inform Mario, Peach and the fairies, the monsters have already reached the fairies [[Diamond]] and corrupted it, causing all fairies to be crystallized, all except for Wanda, due to her recent banishment. The monsters soon reach the farm, and while Wanda, Mario, Peach, and Birdo keep them away with the bombs, Wario sneaks behind them and kidnaps Luigi, then flees with the aid of Pidgit, telling Mario that he will use his son as a sacrifice to give Fauster his full powers. Without the fairy elder to help them, Birdo suggest in asking the Toads of the [[Kinopio Mura]] for more information about the forest.

At the village, however, the Toads are already planning to run away, seeing as the region is slowly flooding with monsters. Mario the notices the Toad iron mask on one Toad's back. The Toad, [[Kinopio-kun (KC Mario)|Kinopio-kun]], claims he found the mask twenty years ago around the place where the first battle between the "Toad hero" and Fauster took place. Putting together that Mario was the Toad hero, Kinopio-kun accepts to guide them to Fauster's lair, hopeful that the hero will defeat the demon one more time.

At the lair, Wario begins the sacrificial ritual. With the small portion of power back in him, Fauster is able to summon his lieutenants: [[Boom]], [[Seizer]], and [[Mad]]. Thanks to his magic orb, Seizer is able to spy on the heroes, so Wario suggest that they stop them. Seizer then summons the giant rock golem [[Goro]] and sicks him against Mario and his group. After dodging a stomp from the golem, the heroes start tossing bombs at it. After they fail, Mario fills Birdo's snout with bombs and orders her to spit them against Goro, blowing it up. As the villains reorganize and Wario reprise the sacrificial ritual, the heroes begin their journey to Fauster's lair.

====Chapter 2====
[[File:Chapter 2 WnM.jpg|thumb|200px]]
{{ruby|第|だい}}2{{ruby|章|しょう}} {{ruby|伝説|でんせつ}}の{{ruby|勇者|ゆうしゃ}}キノピオ{{ruby|仮面|かめん}} (''Chapter 2: The Legendary Toad Hero Mask'')

With the heroes proceeding, Fauster sends his lieutenants to stop them and they fly to prepare their ambushes. Due to Goro's debris, the path is now split in three parts, so the heroes split, thanking Kinopio-kun for guiding them until now. Birdo takes the rightmost path and comes face to face with Seizer. Before he leech can even cast a spell, Birdo, scared by his skeletal appearance, waves her bags of bombs and tail around, hitting him repeatedly and breaking him into little pieces. After calming down, Birdo stares at the broken Seizer and starts making a puzzle out of him. Peach takes the leftmost path and is stopped by Boom. He lunges at her, ready to gobble her up, but accidentally ends up swallowing two bombs, blowing up into cooked meat, while the princess arms herself with fork and knife ready to dig in. Mario and Wanda take the middle path and encounter a beautiful lady with a sprained ankle asking for help. While Wanda finds it suspicious, Mario is head over heels for her and picks her up, and the woman directs him out of the woods. Shocked by this, Wanda starts making a potion to make Mario feel like a dog for abandoning the mission, but as always, the potion blows up. The boom, however, breaks Mario out of the hypnotic spell and, about to leave the woman, she reveals to be Mad and starts strangling Mario with her fishtail. She then attempts to bite Mario's head off, but Kinopio-kun returns with the Toad iron mask and quickly tosses it onto Mario's head. Mad shatters her fangs onto the mask and, releasing Mario from her clutches from the pain, Kinopio-kun orders his fellow Toads to throw rocks at her, killing her.

Mario and the Toads continue on the path, and after the Toads help Mario cross a lake by using their heads as stepping stones, Mario is reunited with Birdo and Peach. Wanda then reaches them with a new bomb she created: the [[Megaton Bakudan]]. The group arrives at Fauster's lair and Mario uses the bomb to get rid of all the monsters. With the ritual too close to completion, Fauster takes the corrupted fairy diamond and puts it in a [[Drago|dragon statue]], which comes to life and starts attacking the heroes. The bombs do not hurt it, but in Mario's aid, the fairy elder telepathically tells him that he needs to remove the diamond stored in his head to defeat the dragon. Armed with the iron mask and a [[Cape Feather|cape]], Mario flies around the dragon and then dives into his head, destroying it and taking the diamond. The dragon returns to be stone and breaks down. Scared, Wario quickly finishes the ritual: the seal under Baby Luigi breaks and he plummets into a fiery abyss, much to the heroes' shock.

====Chapter 3====
[[File:Chapter 3 WnM.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
{{ruby|第|だい}}3{{ruby|章|しょう}} {{ruby|巨大|きょだい}}ワンダちゃんの{{ruby|逆襲|ぎゃくしゅう}} (''Chapter 3: Wanda's giant counterattack'')

Fauster compliments Wario for finishing the ritual, and as he dives in the fiery abyss too, he proclaims Wario ruler of the Peaceful Woods, now renamed "Wario's Woods". Mario orders Wario to tell him what he has done to his son, and Wario explains that Fauster will soon fuse to Luigi to have a complete physical body and conquer the world. Wanda attempts to punish Wario by punching his nose, but getting hurt herself, she puts a [[bucket]] on his head and bashes it with a stick. From the fiery pit, the newly formed giant [[Debiruīji]] emerges and, after rescuing Wario, flies away, releasing a sea of monsters around the world.

As the entire planet is getting swarmed by the monsters, Mario, Peach, Wanda, Birdo, and Kinopio-kun take refugee on Mario and Peach's house roof. Using the fairy diamond, Mario enchants his Toad iron mask, then, after feeding Birdo with bombs to use her as a cannon once more, puts the mask on and flies towards Debiruīji. Meanwhile, Wanda starts preparing a potion to create the biggest bomb yet. Mario and Birdo reach Debiruīji, but their attack is futile, as the demon is resistant to explosions, then he uses his pitchfork to hit the two, making Birdo crashland on the ground.

Meanwhile, the monsters surrounding the house are slowly breaking the chimney. Wanda, who was standing on it, stumbles and the potion falls on her. Ironically, when purposefully creating a bomb, Wanda has successfully made the growth potion, turning into a giant. Bigger than Debiruīji himself, Wanda apprehends him with one hand, but Wario is already thinking up a solution. Grabbing the fairy album, Wario glues Wanda's ripped page in it. Now back to be a fairy, the curse of the corrupted diamond afflicts her too, trapping her in a crystal. Sadden up by the situation, Wanda starts to cry. One of her tears falls right on Mario, turning him big as Debiruīji. Now on equal terms, Mario tackles Debiruīji, stumbling the demon and making Wario fall from his shoulder, landing headfirst on the roof with the others, knocking him out.

Debiruīji, having also dropped his pitchfork, try to use the fact that he is technically a baby to make Mario hesitate and then hitting him by surprise, only to be scared when the Luigi part of him sees his father mad. Noticing this impasse, Peach suggests that they need more power from the diamond, so she takes the fairy album from Wario and writes herself in it, effectively turning into a fairy and getting hit by the same curse as Wanda and the other fairies. Thanks to Peach's magic, the corruption on the diamond is weak enough for the fairies to use their magic from the gem and cast a powerful light beam. The fairy elder then points out that Mario needs to kill the demon by aiming at the shadow he is casting. Picking up the pitchforks, Mario stabs Fauster's shadow. This causes Fauster to die: Luigi and the pelican are now back to normal, the diamond releases Peach and the fairies, the monsters disappear, and the world is safe. The story ends with Mario, Peach, and Luigi enjoying their life as a family, while Birdo and the fairies are punishing Wario by making him work on the farm with the Toad iron mask on.

===GO! GO! Mario Paint Theater!===
サンタ・クロースるぜ。の{{ruby|巻|まき}} (''Santa Claus is coming'')

On Christmas Eve, Peach anticipates [[Santa Claus]]'s arrival. Dumbfounded, Mario asks her if she still believes in Santa and if she knows that he is not real. As Peach gets angry at Mario's statements, the [[Mushroom King]] pulls Mario aside and explains to him that Peach never realized that Santa was made up and he does not have the strength to tell her the truth. In order to not make her sad, the King and Mario, with the help of [[Yoshi]], decide to dress up as Santa and deliver her the presents. Using ''Mario Paint'' tools, the two create Santa outfits for them, a flying sleigh, and reindeer antlers for Yoshi. After creating snow for ambience, Mario, the King, and Yoshi fly to Peach's chambers in the night and fill the stockings with presents. The next day, Peach shows the presents she received from "Santa" to her father and Mario, then asks the two of them what they brought for her. As the King fumbles in trying to explain, Mario pleads to him to just tell her the truth.
