Stage One
マリオ復活!! クリスタルキノコを探しだせ!! (Mario's back!! Find the Crystal Mushrooms!!)
After so many adventures, Mario has decided to quit being a hero and he is enjoying selling cookies with Yoshi and Luigi to the inhabitants of Yoshi's Island. After Luigi gets stuck inside the freezer and Yoshi eats all the cookies, Mario closes the baking stand for the day and continues to refuse any of his friends' suggestion to return to adventuring. A flying Message Block arrives to them. Inside Mario finds a videotape of Peach asking Mario for help: the world is in chaos, many people have gone mad and the only one that can solve this situation is Mario, by searching and collecting the three Crystal Kinokos.
Even if unwillingly, and even without putting his iconic overalls and change from his chef outfit, Mario accepts to accompany Luigi and Yoshi into this adventure. Riding the Sky Pop, the three flies towards a big stormy black cloud in which it seems to be the big concentration of chaos. Just before they can start landing, a giant Battle Beetle catches them in the air, destroying the plane, and slamming the occupants on the ground.
Mario, much to Luigi and Yoshi's shock, does not fight him and instead he offers him cookies. The Battle Beetle punches him, sending him flying against a ? Block, revealing a Carrot inside that falls on Mario, turning him into Bunny Mario (and also changing his outfit). With nostalgia from the Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins events pervading him, Mario finds the lost sparks and starts fighting, but since he has not used the power-ups in a while, he stumbles and falls. The Battle Beetle uses his mandible to trap Mario, but with the power of his ears, Mario breaks free and destroys the mandible, defeating the enemy. The adventure has just begun, and Mario is now ready to strike back.
