Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story -- Save the Princess. Save the Kingdom. Team up with Bowser.

Toad Town, to the south of Peach's Castle, is as peaceful as ever. One young Toad walks home, after leaving school early. His mother chides him. Dinner is ready, so she tells him to tell his father. He does and freaks out. The house starts shaking. In rolls a giant, round Green Toad. A headline tells us it's the Blorbs. It's sweeping the Mushroom Kingdom. Toads balloon to blimp size and roll away. No one knows the cause nor cure. Peach calls an emergency meeting at her castle.

With a projecting screen showing an image of the Blorbed Toads, Peach begins the meeting. Toadsworth says this has never happened before. The Toads don't know what to do, so one suggests they panic. Peach says they contacted the Star Sprites for help, but they haven't responded yet. A representative of the Star Sprites enters, with a "Hello Yello!" Her name is Starlow. The Star Sprites don't know what to do either. A cause would be a good place to start, but they don't know that either. Dr. Toadley's intern says they tried to reduce the swelling, but can't reverse it. When everyone is on the verge of giving up, Peach tries to calm them down. Toadbert mentions that there is someone they can count on: the bros.

The castle doors open and Mario jumps in, followed by Luigi, who's still getting dressed. A Toad tells them to go to the conference room in the back. Go into the gardens and grab some coins. To the north is the throne room, with a Save Block. To the northeast is the conference hall. The meeting continues with Toadbert mentioning that a mushroom sold by a local merchant may be the cause. All the Blorbed Toads say they bought Blorb Mushrooms. Well, there's your problem. Luigi falls asleep during the meeting. Toadsworth says that Blorb Mushrooms aren't from around the Mushroom Kingdom. A Toad reports that the merchant wore a cape and isn't from the kingdom. Starlow wants to find him. Toadsworth says the bros should find him and stomp him as if he were Bowser.

"Did someone just page the king of awesome?" Bowser appears, upset that Peach didn't invite him to the meeting. He lives in the Mushroom Kingdom, too, so he thinks he has a right to be at the meeting. Starlow disagrees and tells him to leave. Bowser is angered and breathes fire. Mario gets Peach out of the way and the fire burns the podium and projection screen. Bowser's not pleased to see Mario. He was going to act nice and try to help, but that went away when he saw Mario. His new objective is to beat Mario and kidnap Peach.

It's battle time! Toadsworth gives instruction on attacking and dodging. Mario can do a solo double jump. Bowser breathes fire for his attacks. Luigi sleeps through the whole thing. After he takes enough damage, Bowser is defeated. That was not his "A" game. Starlow says that her star power and Peach's wish power weakened him. Peach uses a new magical power to levitate Bowser and throw him out of the castle. She thanks Mario for saving her. Why she didn't use this power sooner is a good question. Mario doesn't mind, as it gets him a kiss on the cheek.

Out in the forest, Kamek wakes up Bowser. He wants to return and kidnap Peach, but he doesn't know where he is. You can now control Bowser, so head south. Kamek says Bowser can break boulders by punching with (X) and burn stuff with his fire breath with (Y). If breathes fire for too long, he'll get tired. Go east and a figure in a cape will scurry off. Approach the pipes and someone says, "A WINNER IS YOU!" Bowser approaches the voice, which belongs to the caped figure. Bowser asks what he won, and the figure replies "JACKPOTTING!" The figure says, "The customer has luck! And with luckiness comes a tasty Lucky Shroom!" Bowser wants to know what's going on because he didn't buy anything. "Do not have worries for details! No, do not have the worries! Have the wonderful Lucky Shroom of tastiness instead! Scoff this down and your luck will power up to super luck! Luck enough to beat Mario!" Bowser asks if this is true. "I say to you YES!  With every attack, lucky hits will shower in a happy waterfall! You will have such fury! Your strongest enemies will fold like napkins who are crying!" Kamek tries to be the voice of reason and tells him not to eat the Lucky Shroom. Bowser, however, isn't as skeptical and asks for the Lucky Shroom. "Oh, yes, of course! ENJOY THE EATING!"

Bowser eats the Lucky Shroom, but it doesn't agree with him. Kamek asks what that mushroom was and the cape figure reveals himself to be- you guessed it- Fawful. "Such easiness! So easy it gives me the gleeful chortles. I have such strategy! And now for the leaving. You are having a date with Peach's Castle!" Fawful flies off and Bowser inhales everything around him, including pipes.

Back at the castle, the meeting is still going on, thanks to Peach. Toadsworth suggests relocating when Bowser appears. Bowser inhales everyone, last of which Luigi, who wakes up due to the disturbance. Bowser laughs, then collapses. Fawful appears, saying "I HAVE VICTORY! Easy as bread sandwiches! And now for the proceeding with the plan I have planned! Midbus! Come! Fawful calls you!" Midbus, whoever he is, replies, "Of course... Lord Fawful..."
