New Super Mario Bros.: Twist It! is a game starring Mario.
Story[]
Mario was on a walk through the Mushroom Kingdom, when suddenly, Bowser's Doomship flew in and fired a laser at him! Mario suddenly had no control of himself- all he could do was walk forwards! Bowser, laughing evilly, pulled out a Super Twister and began to turn it, knocking Mario around. However, Boom Boom accidently ran into Bowser, causing him to drop the Super Twister! Mario had to catch it!
