==Story==
{{spoiler}}
The story begins with a night in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], where five shining objects in the sky fall to the land. [[Mario]] spots one, and discusses it with his friends the next day. [[Kamek]] interrupts when he drops an invitation down to the gang. Bowser sent it, and it says that he is inviting them to his [[Bowser's Castle|castle]] for a big feast, as apology for his evil deeds. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy]] get an invitation as well.

The crew sets off for the castle, but they find that, as one may suspect, it was a trick. Bowser and [[Bowser Jr.|Junior]] trap Mario and friends in a cage, at which point Bowser uses a magic wand called the [[Minimizer]] to shrink them all down, and they are literally thrown out. This leaves Bowser to look for the five shining objects, the [[Sky Crystal]]s, in peace. The gang decides to get back at Bowser and heads back to the castle. To be the one [[Superstar]] that defeats Bowser causes the eight friends to pit themselves against each other for the great title.
 
Early in their journey, [[Wiggler]] begs the small heroes for help, as a nasty [[Piranha Plant]] has infested her garden. The plant was defeated when his own [[Bomb Seed]]s were fed to him by the heroes. A grateful Wiggler rewards them with a Sky Crystal, which landed in her garden. Shortly after, [[Toadette]] came to the heroes for help, asking them to defeat a [[Hammer Bro]] that was abusing her instruments. The Hammer Bro was defeated in a drum-off, at which point Toadette found a Sky Crystal and gave it to the gang. Having two now, they set off for the jungle, where they find their monkey friend Diddy Kong. The anxious chimp shows the heroes that Donkey Kong was turned to stone by [[Dry Bones]]. The friends faced off against Dry Bones on his arena, where magic hexes were used to destroy him. Donkey Kong was restored, and quickly remembered the free food promised at Bowser's Castle. He and Diddy rush off, but not before Diddy hands over a Sky Crystal.
 
At this point, Bowser's Castle is in the sight of the gang. However, they find a [[Koopa Troopa]] asking for help, as Kamek has trapped his grandfather, [[Koopa Krag]], in one of his many library books. The heroes fight Kamek after surviving a long hallway, at which point Koopa Krag is saved, and gives them a Sky Crystal. After Kamek's defeat, they finally find Bowser's Castle, where they are stuffed in a pinball machine that Bowser Jr. uses to mess them up. The one who collected the most [[Star]]s in the pinball machine broke out and got ready to fight Bowser. Bowser threatened to shrink them once again, but just then Donkey Kong and Diddy arrived. DK, frantic for the free food, runs around and smashes the Minimizer. This brings the Mario gang to normal size, but Bowser reveals one more surprise - the Mega Morph Belt. The device transforms Bowser into Blockhead Bowser, and the heroes fight him by punching his golden Bowser Block, the weak spot.


Upon the Koopa King's defeat, Bowser and his son were tied up, and Mario took the final Sky Crystal from him. They formed to make a crystal [[Nintendo DS|DS]], which was made exclusively for the fun challenge, [[Triangle Twisters]]. Bowser admits that he wanted the Sky Crystals just so that he could play the game. After hearing this, Mario decides to untie the two, and they all play Triangle Twisters together, thus ending the story. As for DK and Diddy, they eat the entire feast by themselves, and are quite satisfied.
