The story starts when Mario and Peach are looking up at the stars, near Peach's Castle on the edge of Boxborough. Suddenly, Bowser starts attacking the city! He begins to destroy the town, when he commands his Koopalings to go and steal the Princess. Flying through the sky in their airships, the Koopalings surround Mario and the Princess. Bowser Jr. and Morton Koopa Jr. jump out of their airships, and steal the Princess from Mario. The airships then ascend and fly away with Bowser.
