The mission is to save the rumoured still alive Mario by going to Bowser’s space station.
Meanwhile Luigi in the now destroyed Toad Town tries to fix the poltergust, Luigi fails at fixing the poltergust he then gets angry, throwing the wrench and crying; thinking what Bowser said about him all Those Months ago. Unknowingly, Shadow Mario is trying to get Luigi and kill him. Luigi tries to fight back but comes of short and then begs Shadow Mario not to kill him, Then Suddenly a Red and Blue Figure jumps on it defeating them.

After the boss fight Luigi and Classic Mario Team up to try to save as many toads as possible in The Town from Bowser’s troops.
Meanwhile in the Space station, the Mii and resistance have breached into the space station, saving the many Prisoners there. While that is going on, Mario is in a Maximum security Jail cell after all these months. Now it’s the one year anniversary when Bowser and the Evil League had defeated Mario, deciding to keep him to see his empire that he built and to make Mario watch his friends suffer wanting to break his spirits, Mario always managed to stay optimistic and would also say he would escape one day.
Since Bowser’s Empire is nearly complete, he has had enough of Mario and wants to eliminate him by throwing him into space, with everyone watching from Earth, He then sees Wario is guarding his prison cell and is waiting at noon to throw Him into space. Wario really wants to defeat Mario so he can take his place as Hero, wanting the money, the fame and the kisses from Princess Peach. Mario looks disgusted, looking at the time it’s 11:59, almost time for Mario's Execution. Mario stalls it by him asking him questions like why he is so fat or how he met Waluigi, Wario gets angrier and angrier and eventually tries to get him out of his prison cell to execute him before that a red siren turns on saying that the Resistance is letting the prisoners escape and are trying to find Mario.

But before they go, Wario tells the resistance what he was going to say to Mario, that Robo Mario has a grand star for his power source it can hypnotise people and can create portals to different dimensions meaning Bowser’s Goal for Inter-dimensional domination is a lot easier.

The game's soundtrack is very different to a Usual Mario style. Modern Mario stages uses dubstep for most of its stages with some rock for Some stages.

Custom Mii stages uses a mix of dubstep and rock with lyrics reflecting how the mii feels of the stage and the current situation of the story.
Like Odyssey, the game uses 2 vocal themes. One called Resilience done by Zebrahead which is remixed throughout The game. The other called Achievement sung by Kate Higgins like in Jump-up Superstar which plays at the end of the game.
However the game has some remixes to other media
- Most Stages feature somewhat of a remix/rearranging of Resilience

Beta Elements[]
In the Game there are a few things that didn't quite make it into the game; however some of the unused elements can still be found in the game.
- As Said Earlier, this game was going to be a Super Mario Odyssey Sequel
- Originally DK jungle was gonna be a stage theme but was cut in favour for Carnival Forest
- However, from the line from Diddy Kong, he says “We have tried covering DK Jungle but we have failed” seems that the developers acknowledged it and put as an Easter egg
- Orignally In the League, there would have been way more villains, including King K.rool, Fawful, King Bob-omb and more
- A Unnamed Sky theme was going to be in the stage
- This may have been a Sky level theme similar to Mechanical Plains from this game and a normal NSMB SKY level
- Toadette, Geno, Mallow, Toadsworth and a few Paper Mario Partners where gonna be in the resistance and the game but were cut either due to time constraints or just not fitting in
- However, it seems like Toadsworth is the treasury of the Resistance and was still a non-cameo appearance
- Originally, Classic Mario wasn't going to be in this game and would have been replaced by either Luigi or Robo Mario
- However, due to the Positive reception of Classic Mario in Super Mario Generations and to tie-in with Super Mario Mania, Classic Mario was to be in the game

Initial anticipation of Super Mario Forces was mixed, with many Fans and most critics calling the game an edgy attempt to break what is great already with odyssey with it having a more linear Focus. However, fans thought the new direction of the game was good, and having more an ambitious story and a good amount of fan service.
However, Super Mario Forces garnered critical acclaim when it released with Metacritic aggregate scores of 70 and 80 out of 100 when it first released, IGN gave it an 8.9 out of 10, saying ”while the game’s story is a bit weird and edgy for Mario’s Standard, it is a very welcome change and made a thrilling plot waiting for every cutscene to unfold, the gameplay is still as challenging as fun as any other Mario game and so much more fun with our custom mil with the ranks of Our favourite Characters” Gamespot, however, was more critical of the game and gave it a 6.3 out of 10, saying ”the story is needlessly edgy and dark and the game has a too big of A difficulty spike”. However, they praised the Game’s Mii integration saying it’s charming to see your creation fighting Bowser and talking to Luigi” The Game by December sold 6.5 million copies being of the best-selling 3D Mario Games.
