Storyline

Synopsis
While working underground to fix a water main, Brooklyn plumbers—and brothers—Mario and Luigi are transported down a mysterious pipe and wander into a magical new world. But when the brothers are separated, Mario embarks on an epic quest to find Luigi.

Plot

Italian-American brothers Mario and Luigi, who have opened a plumbing business in Brooklyn, face opposition from their ex-employer Spike and their father. After a water main leak, they are sucked into a Warp Pipe and separated. They land in the Mushroom Kingdom, ruled by Princess Peach, and Luigi in the Dark Lands, ruled by the evil Koopa king Bowser. Bowser threatens to marry Peach and destroy the Mushroom Kingdom using a Super Star if she refuses. He imprisons Luigi to threaten Mario, who he sees as competition for Peach's love. Peach plans to ally with the primate Kongs to repel Bowser and allows Mario and Toad to travel with her. In the Jungle Kingdom, King Cranky Kong agrees to help Mario defeat his son, Donkey Kong, using a Cat Suit.

Mario, Peach, Toad, and the Kongs use karts to drive back to the Mushroom Kingdom, but Bowser's army ambushes them on Rainbow Road. After a kamikaze attack, Mario and Donkey Kong escape and rush to Bowser and Peach's wedding. Bowser plans to execute all his prisoners in lava, but Mario and Donkey Kong free the prisoners. Bowser attacks Mario, but Luigi saves him and they grab the Super Star, becoming temporarily invincible. They defeat the Koopas, destroy Bowser's castle, and imprison Bowser. Mario and Luigi are hailed as heroes by Brooklyn's populace.
