Super Mario Brothers: Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach

Mario is playing a late-night game on his Famicom when a blonde-haired girl in a pink dress on the screen cries for help. She escapes by leaping out of the TV and introduces herself as Princess Peach. King Koopa appears and chases her out of the TV, and Mario’s attempt to stop him ends with Koopa capturing Peach and retreating back into the screen. In the quiet aftermath, Mario notices a small green necklace Peach left behind on the floor.

The next day, at their grocery store, Mario can’t shake thoughts of Peach and the necklace. His brother, Luigi, suggests the jewel might be a guide to a hidden land called the Mushroom Kingdom, said to house treasures beyond their reach. A small dog-like creature named Kibidango wanders in, snatches the necklace, and prompts the brothers to chase him. Their pursuit ends with a tumble down a pipe and into a strange, new world.

In the Mushroom Kingdom, a Mushroom Hermit explains that Koopa and his army are ravaging the land, turning citizens into inanimate objects, and that Koopa intends to force Peach into marriage on a cursed day—Friday the 13th. The hermit shares an ancient legend: the Mario Bros. can defeat Koopa, but only if they recover the three mystical Power-Ups—the Mushroom, the Flower, and the Star—hidden across the kingdom by Koopa’s forces. Guided by Kibidango, the brothers set out on a perilous quest to locate and claim these powers.

After a long journey filled with perilous obstacles, the brothers finally acquire all three Power-Ups. That night, [Mario] arrives at Koopa’s castle just as the wedding is about to begin. Armed with the Mushroom, the Flower, and the Star, he confronts Koopa, breaks the spell, and restores the Mushroom Kingdom to its normal state.

In a surprising twist, Kibidango reverts to his true form: Prince Haru, the fiancé of Peach from the Flower Kingdom, who had been transformed into the little helper to marry Peach in Koopa’s plan. Though heartbroken for Peach, Mario wishes the couple well and promises to return if they ever need help, while he and Luigi begin their long journey home.

A post-credits scene shows Koopa and his minions paying the price by being forced to work at the brothers’ grocery store, a lighthearted reminder that mischief has consequences.
