[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

In the film, Mario and Luigi are the owners of a grocery store. One night, Mario was engrossed to his Famicom game. Suddenly, the picture goes out and Princess Peach appears on the TV screen crying for help from the enemies attacking her and jumps out of the TV. Soon after, Mario falls in love with her and vows to protect her. Soon after, Koopa appears on the TV screen and starts to come out of the TV. He grabs Princess Peach and takes her into the TV. Mario then discovers a small brooch that Peach left on the floor.

The next day, the brooch that Peach dropped becomes a matter of concern for Mario. Luigi immediately notices the brooch and regards it as the "Visionary Jewel from the Country of Treasure". Soon, Kibidango wanders into the store and notices that Mario has Peach's brooch. He takes it away from Mario, enraging him, thus beginning his (and Luigi's) chase with Kibidango into the Mushroom Kingdom.

When the Mario brothers arrive at the kingdom, a large Mushroom Sennin tells them that Koopa has taken over the kingdom and is turning the helpless citizens into blocks and that on Friday the 13th, Koopa will marry Peach. By finding the three powers, the mushroom of truth, the flower of love, and the yellow star of invincibility, the Mario Brothers will be able to defeat Koopa and save Princess Peach.

Throughout the many perilous obstacles, Mario finally finds all the three powers by Friday the 13th. When night arises, the wedding of Koopa and Peach begins to take place. Mario arrives and beats up Koopa enlisting the help of the three powers, and Koopa's magic is destroyed, bringing back the Mushroom Kingdom that was before Koopa came along. Mario gives Peach's brooch back to her, which reveals Kibidango's true identity, Prince Haru, who says that Koopa transformed him into a dog (Kibidango).
