Stage One

ピーチ姫を救え！！　新冒険開始！！ (ニユーアドベンチヤースタート)』 (Save Princess Peach!! The Start of a New Adventure!! (Press START to play))

Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach are enjoying themselves a vacation on Yoshi's Island. On the beach, Mario pulls a prank on Luigi pretending to drown. Luigi runs to the rescue, only to realize that his brother is wearing a Frog Suit. Mario awaits joyful the arrival of Peach in a bikini, but a Galoomba with Peach's wig comes instead. The Galoomba places a little Bowser toy from which the King Koopa explains to Mario and Luigi that he kidnapped Peach (again) and now has a scary legion by his side. Mario, enraged, tries to destroy the toy speaker, but Bowser informs that doing so, the speaker will explode. Mario then sends his punch into Luigi's face, but the toy explodes anyway, having served its purpose.

After recovering from the explosion, the Mario Bros. begin their journey to Bowser's Castle to save the Princess. On their way, the two find an injured dinosaur. Mario, wearing his Doctor clother, medicates the dyno with a giant Megavitamin that the patient hardly manages to swallow. Cured, the dyno present himself as Yoshi and explains that Bowser conquered the Dinosaur Land with the help of his minions and kids, then stole his eggs to use them as hostages. The Marios promise to save the eggs in their journey too and continue on their way.

The brothers are attacked by two Super Koopas. Mario tries to use his fire power but, due to not using it after a long time, he can't manage to shot the fireball. Luigi, then, plug a gas tank in his butt, charging him, helping him burn the first Super Koopa who disappear leaving behind a Cape Feather. Mario grabs it and becomes Cape Mario but has no idea on how to use his new cape. On the second Super Koopa it tries magic trick with the cape, he wraps it on the enemy to make a Teru teru bōzu. Furious, the Super Koopa charges at Mario, but with a jump, he avoid the attack and learns that the cape can help him plane and fly. Meanwhile, the Super Koopa, missing Mario, crashes on the rock behind Mario. Mario proceed the travel by flying, followed by Luigi, angry that he hasn't got a cape to fly too.

The two meets another dinosaur, a Dino Torch, and mistake it for a friend of Yoshi, paying the consequences. Mario is burnt and his cape doesn't work anymore but, ready for the second attack, Luigi tapes his mouth avoiding the flames… but not the hot smoke that comes from the opposite hole. Running away, the brothers face a Charging Chuck armed with a giant football. Mario tires to catch the ball, but it's too big for him and gets squashed by it. Luigi grabs his brother and round it up in a ball form and launches him to the enemy, but with a shoulder tackle, the Chuck shoves Mario who falls down a cliff.

Immediately after, someone dives to save Mario: it's Yoshi. The dino grabs Mario, but then realizes that he hadn't come up with a plan to survive the fall. Luckily for them, Yoshi spots on a ledge a blue shelled Koopa Troopa and eats him while Mario watches him in horror, not knowing why Yoshi is having his last meal. Meanwhile, Luigi is looking down the cliff while the Chuck is preparing to toss him down too. Right at that moment, Mario, riding Winged Yoshi, emerges from the abyss. The Chuck prepares an attack to send all of them down, once and for all, but Mario and Yoshi, with a combined fire attack, fry the Chuck (and Luigi), defeating him. Mario welcomes Yoshi into the party and together continue their journey to save the Dinosaur Land and Peach (of course leaving Luigi afoot). Meanwhile, Bowser is spying on them and wishes Mario good luck for the obstacles they'll have to face.

Stage Two

ドカンと一発！！　合体技炸裂！！ (Boom!! One Shot Kill! A Plan to Join Forces)

Mario, Luigi and Yoshi are traversing the Yoshi Island when they finally see in the distance Iggy's Castle. Above the castle, a strange sign written in doodles. Yoshi reveals that it's their language that the humans can read by covering the middle part of the doodle to reveal two lines of dialogue ("It's not a language, it's a kid puzzle!"): the sign reads "Help me", meaning that an Egg is surely locked. However, before the trio can take another step, multiple pipes fall from the sky and fall around the heroes. From one of the pipes, an hologram picturing Bowser explains that this is his new trap. Mario laughs and tries to jump over the pipes, but a Jumping Piranha Plant blocks him and bites him back into the pipe circle, while many other Jumping Piranhas pops out from the rest of the pipes.

Led by a (apparently) normal Piranha Plant, the Jumping Piranhas are instructed to not let the Mario get pass them and the hologram shuts off. Mario send Yoshi to eat the Piranha Plant, but it's too voracious for him. Mario then tries with the fireballs, but the Jumping Piranhas wet them with watering cans. The Piranha Plant orders its minions to surround the heros from above, biting them every once in a while. While thinking of a solution, Mario pulls out his SNES Nunchaku (a Nunchaku with SNES controllers as the sticks) and use it to reflect the seed the Piranhas spits at them. After getting the hand of it, Mario finally manages to defeat all the Piranhas with his weapon, but the Piranha Plant rises up and reveals them to be an Invincible Giant Piranha Plant.

This time, Mario's nunchaku skills can do nothing, he even tries to immobilize the Piranha Plant with the and pausing the story, but unfortunately even them are immobilized so, even that result useless. Without the nunchaku, Mario tries to bribe the Piranha Plant, who's disgusted by the fact that the hero has resorted to bribing (but does accept the money, though). After another lethal move, the Piranha Plant prepares the finishing blow and laughs, revealing a sticker in his throat reading: "weak point". Mario and Yoshi, then, prepare themselves to use "that move". After performing a big jump, the two start to rotate and dives head first into the Piranha's mouth, drilling its head and finally kill it. Luigi celebrates, cheering the two friends, who are now tangled to each other and very dizzy, promising themselves to never do that attack again.
