Plot synopsis[edit]
Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool travel to Sock Hop Land in search of the music king Elvin Parsley. They ask a Mushroom person where to find Elvin, but he gives a response heavily influenced by 1950's slang that Mario and the others cannot understand. Suddenly, every Toad in the town becomes scared. As Mario and the others turn around, they see a group of greaser Goombas with Kool Koopa in a red convertible called the Koopallac following behind, the latter proclaiming himself as the new ruler of Sock Hop Land. Every Toad then runs for cover. The Goombas and Kool Koopa stop in front of Elvin's recording studio and replace his picture on a billboard with one of Kool Koopa. Koopa then sees Princess Toadstool and chases after her, planning to make her his girlfriend. As the Princess argues about not wanting to be his girlfriend, Mario grabs her and runs with Luigi and Toad into an alley. In the alley, they find a dumpster and push it into the Goombas and Kool Koopa as they pursue them.
As Mario and the others walk through a neighborhood, Mario mentions that Kool Koopa is tricking Sock Hop Land's citizens into believing he is their king, to which Luigi replies that they have to find Elvin Parsley. Princess Toadstool spots Elvin's mansion, Parsley Land, and suggests checking there for clues on Elvin's whereabouts. Upon entering the mansion, they hear the song "Jailhouse Rock" play. Mario mentions that there are many pictures and statues of Elvin Parsley, but the singer himself is nowhere to be seen. Sudddenly, the group hears tapping from a closet. Toad runs over to open the door, revealing Elvin's blue suede shoes trapped inside. The shoes explain that Kool Koopa broke into the mansion, kidnapped him, and took him to his hideout, and decide to lead Mario and his friends to the hideout.
The shoes lead Mario and his friends to the Half Life Malt Shop, Kool Koopa's hideout. As Mario and Luigi peek inside, they see many greaser Goombas seated at tables with a stage at the back. As Luigi wonders how they will sneak inside the malt shop, Mario tells them that they are "not the only slick ones around here," and proceeds to tell the group his plan. Mario, Luigi, and Toad sneak onstage and plan play music to distract the Goombas while Princess Toadstool and Elvin's shoes look for Elvin Parsley. They then proceed to play, but their lack of experience results in them playing poorly, resulting in many of the Goombas covering their ears from the music. Meanwhile, Princess Toadstool and Elvin's shoes find Elvin in a freezer room, frozen solid.
