    Mario and Luigi, two Brooklyn plumbers, were wrapping up their day when they received a call about a mysterious pipe in the sewers.

    Curiosity piqued, Luigi entered the pipe and was sucked in. Mario, without hesitation, followed him into the unknown.

    Mario emerged in the Mushroom Kingdom, a far cry from the sewers of Brooklyn. He was greeted by Toad, who took him to Princess Peach when Mario expressed concern for Luigi.

    Peach suggested Luigi might be in the Darklands, home to the infamous Bowser. Despite the danger, Mario insisted on rescuing his brother, prompting Peach to train him for his journey.

    Meanwhile, Luigi found himself in a haunted mansion, pursued by undead creatures. Despite finding a Poltergeist vacuum, Luigi was captured by King Boo and taken to Bowser.

    Mario, Peach, and Toad embarked on their journey, battling through eight worlds. Along the way, they teamed up with Donkey Kong, who joined their quest to rescue Luigi.

    Meanwhile, Bowser planned to force Peach into marriage and rule the Mushroom Kingdom using a Super Star. If she refused, he threatened to destroy the kingdom.

    The team finally reached Bowser's castle, ready for the final battle. They fought their way through Bowser's minions, determined to save Luigi and the Mushroom Kingdom.
