Stage 1
After their quest in Sherbet Land, Mario, Yoshi and Wario have returned to the mainland and got lost in the steaming hot caves of Mt. Teapot and their torture is not over when they find an exit, ending in the even hotter magma region of Stove Canyon. A rain seems to plead to their requests for something fresh, only to discover that it is the sweat of the area boss: Devil's Head. Disgusted by the "rain" they even tasted, the trio punches the boss and then flees, but Devil's Head then starts his trap: a lava flow. The trio runs back (causing Devil's Head to also be hit by the lava flow) and then Mario press on Wario's nose, turning him into a 10 Gold Coin to use as a stop for the lava using it as a wall, but he does not last long before turning into Tiny Wario. Yoshi then proposes to solidify the lava with an electric cooler, but has no place to plug it.
Having no other choice, Mario and Yoshi pee on it, but this anger the enemy manipulating the lava, a Bō, that explains that without water they will not be able to stop the flow. Desperate, Wario punches in the ground in hope of finding underground water, but only finds more lava, causing the flow to take the shape of a dragon. As Wario tries (and fails) his usual strategy of passing to the enemy side, Mario and Yoshi finds a watergate and opens it just in time for the three to be coiled by the dragon, who then solidifies. The Bō then carve the solidified dragon into a tombstone for the heroes, but from the sculpture a Mega Face Block emerges, with the three heroes inside. As the Bō is still recovering for the shock, Mario pulls out a treasure they found in the block: the black pearl of Capri's Tide, that can summon a water stream.
Bō is defeated and, while Devil's Head is watching from a camera, he goes to prepare himself for the incoming battle. Meanwhile, even after the three heroes have got their well-deserved cool, the pearl is still releasing more water, to the point of turning Stove Canyon into a lake.
Stage 2
Devil's Head is patiently waiting for Mario, Yoshi and Wario, but even his patience is put to the test when the heroes spend too much time on the minecart section to the point that, when they finally reach the boss stage, Devil's Head has grown a beard so much that his entire face is covered in hairs. Mario helps him shave, peeling off his eyes and nose too, that Yoshi then badly replace. Angry, Devil's Head attempts to stab them with his long tongue, but Mario squirts some mustard paste on it, spicing him. Rocks then start to rain, but Mario catches them with the intention of returning to the sender, only to be disgusted in discovering that those are Devil's Head's boogers.
With Mario's guard down when he washes his hands, Demons's head coils the heroes with his tongue. Yoshi manages to free them by letting a fart out, knocking the face down, but when Devil's Head gets up, a barrage of strange attacks are launched: lightning from the eyes, ear-missiles and a forehead cuckoo clock alarm. It is revealed that Devil's Head is a war robot guided by some Black Sugar Gang pirates (Bō on the tongue, Wanderin' Gooms at the forehead, Guragura at the eyes and nose and Konotako at the ears, plus Pirate Gooms and Watches).
Scared by the machine, Wario attempts to join the pirates, but Mario squashes him with a giant fly swatter, making him drop all of his items. Mario grabs a Jet Pot and turns into Jet Mario but not been able to balance the jet power, slams onto a wall. Wario tries but is stunned by the Devil's Head spinning eyes. To beat Yoshi, the Devil's Head opens up and releases the pirates to beat him up. With the heroes defeated, Devil's Head laughs, not realizing that a bomb fuse is dangling from his nostril after a Guragura passed through it. Yoshi points this to Mario and his tosses a fireball at it, exploding him and defeating him.
Mario then interrogates the Devil's Head, asking him where the Pirates are keeping the statue, to which he reveals it is hidden in Captain Syrup's castle, but they will not stand a chance against the rest of the crew and even less against their captain. Wario is not fazed by this threat and even kicks him, causing the robot to fall onto Mario and Yoshi, angering them.
Stage 3
Finally out of the caves and back to the sunny beaches, Mario, Yoshi and Wario are taking a break, during which Wario reveals to have found a key. Not trusting him at all, Mario demands Wario to give him the key, but he refuses and even gulps it to spite him. As Mario is about to accept defeat and wait until it comes out from the "backside", Tiny Wario is kidnapped by a pair of Pirate Gooms, owners of the key, and then takes him on their ship, the SS Tea Cup, with a Chicken Duck. Mario dives to rescue the key (and Wario), but the water is occupied by a very voracious Ukiwani. Using Yoshi to block his jaw, Mario uses the enemy as a boat to reach the ship and boards it, followed by a very unhappy Yoshi.
In the cargo hold of the ship, Mario and Yoshi find Wario trapped in a web created by a Paidan that, under the order of the Pirate Goom, attacks Mario with its webs. Mario is entangled, but Yoshi eats the web, which (as he states) is good as cotton candy. So, the Paidan entangles Yoshi, but Mario frees him with his fireballs. Angry, the Paidan tries to entangle both at the same time, but Mario molds Yoshi into a fan and sends the webs back, entangling the spider. The Gooms surrenders, Wario is freed and, with a strong kick to his butt, he spits out the key. Mario asks the Gooms what the key is for and they say it is for their treasure chest full of food. Angry, Wario and Yoshi opens the chest, but as the Goom reveals, they lost the key a year ago: the food store is now rotten.
Stage 4
Still on the SS Tea Pot, the trio splits up to find another treasure, the "Ball of Friendship". While Mario and Yoshi are left fending against the Piranha Plants, Wario has found the treasure, alongside other kind of balls and, not being able to understand which is which, returns to Mario with all of them. Some Pirate Gooms attacks them and, with the intention of finding the right ball, Mario tosses a volleyball at them. The Gooms abandon any idea of harm them, and instead starts kissing Mario, who realizes to have used the "Ball of Love".
The test continues: Wario tosses a basketball, but the Gooms starts crying ("Ball of Sadness"), then a soccerball, but it is a "Ball of Anger" and the Gooms reprise to attack them. Fleeing on the mast, the trio is attacked by the area boss: Bobo and his Watches. Mario tries to attack them by tossing fireballs and other junk, but Bobo's wing flaps create a wind so strong that all the projectiles comes back to hurt them. As thing could not get any worse, the Gooms are making their way to them, so Wario lends Mario a football to try on the boss, but the wing flaps deviate the shot, so Mario ends up hitting the Gooms. Luckily for him, that was the Ball of Friendship, so the Gooms pass on Mario's side and, using their bodies as a wall, Mario is able to get near the boss and hit him with another ball, only to realize to have shot the volleyball of love, earning Bobo's unwanted affection and kisses.
