Based on the game Super Mario Bros. 3, the series follows Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad as they defend the Mushroom World from King Koopa and his seven children, the Koopalings. The stories are standalone. Many episodes send the heroes, or Koopa's gang, through warp pipes into the real world, to places such as Brooklyn, London, Paris, Venice, Washington and Los Angeles, where Koopa tries to take over Earth as well. In one story, the Koopalings split up to invade all seven continents. The game's power-ups, such as the Super Leaf and the Tanooki suit, appear throughout.
