Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach! recap
Mario is playing a video game late at night when Princess Peach leaps out of the TV, running from enemies. King Koopa follows her into the real world, beats Mario, and drags her back into the screen, leaving behind her green necklace. The next day, a small dog-like creature named Kibidango steals the necklace from Mario and Luigi's grocery store and leads them down a pipe into the Mushroom Kingdom. An old mushroom hermit explains that Koopa, angry that Peach turned down his proposal, has turned the kingdom's people into objects and plans to force her to marry him. A legend says the brothers can only beat him with three power-ups: the Mushroom, the Fire Flower and the Star. With Kibidango as a guide, they set out to find all three.
