[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] arrive at [[Peach's Castle|the palace]] of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], where a party is scheduled to take place in the evening. There is a huge mess in the plumbing, however; all the pipes are mixed up and disconnected. The Mario Bros. quickly get to work (Luigi getting stuck in the mess) and eventually clean up the plumbing except for a disconnected [[Warp Pipe|green pipe]] that they had not seen before. Mario then finds a giant pipe that also was not there before and peeks inside, only for a [[Jumping Piranha Plant]] to leap up and chomp on his nose. At that moment, more large pipes start popping out of the ground, and Mario and Luigi flee the basement, only to find that numerous pipes have already sprung up in the courtyard.

Meanwhile, [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] is playing [[Super Mario Bros.|a video game]] in the castle, accompanied by her attendants. One of her guards then appears with the news that pipes have appeared all over the castle. Various enemies then start appearing out of the pipes and attack the [[Toad (species)|Mushroom guards]], while Mario and Luigi are completely surrounded. A [[Galoomba|Goomba]] and a Jumping Piranha Plant attack Luigi, but Mario jumps on them to save him. Mario then has an idea: He pulls up a pipe that Luigi kicks a Goomba into, then puts the other end in his mouth and spits it back out at the enemies to beat them. At that moment, however, a giant pipe shoots out of the ground, and [[Bowser]], in his [[Koopa Clown Car|Clown Copter]], appears out of it.

In the explosion, Mario and the group are sent flying away and land in the forest, across the moat. The princess insists that Luigi should give her clothes back, while Friendly Floyd leaves after the group refuses to buy more bombs. The five characters cheer as they start on their way back to the Mushroom Kingdom, their journey seemingly at an end.

However, Mario stops the group when he remembers that they arrived where they are through the pipe, which is hanging in the sky. Although Luigi, Toadstool, and Toad panic at first, Toad thinks to use the cape to fly back to the Mushroom Kingdom and send a rescue team for the group. The other characters send him off, and later in the day, their rescue party arrives. As they climb up the ladder leading into the pipe, however, the leading Toad kicks Mario back down and slices it, sending Mario and Luigi falling back to the ground. The Toad then reveals himself to be Bowser and takes the princess back up the pipe, which is revealed to be part of a ship hiding itself in the clouds, Toad revealing that Bowser's forces have taken control of the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario and Luigi try to chase after them, but Bowser sends [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s to stop them. Mario is able to jump on them, while Yoshi starts eating them, growing a pair of wings after eating one with a [[Blue Shell|blue shell]]. Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi try to fly after Bowser, but they have lost him, and when Mario asks Yoshi where Bowser went, Yoshi spits out the shell to answer, and they fall to the ground. Picking themselves up after the crash landing, they find that they have landed in front of a [[Ghost House|gloomy-looking house]].

*During Peach's dream sequence, Friendly Floyd is the pastor in Mario and Peach's wedding, yet she had not met Floyd until the next scene after she wakes up.
*Toad's fate is never revealed after he is captured, as he is not seen after that scene, nor is the fate of the other Toads after they are seen in the desert.
**In the same scene, Luigi mistakenly calls the Paratroopas "Mecha-Koopas."
*Bowser's threatening to turn the [[Toad (species)|Mushroom People]] into stone might be a reference to the manual in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', as its plot summary states that Bowser brought a spell that turned the Mushroom Kingdom residents into inanimate objects, just like early in the comic.

*''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]] would both have a scenario where Luigi would have to take Peach's place, having to wear her dress and a wig, so as to retrieve the stolen [[Beanstar]]. However, in this instance, rather than wearing a mask, he simply covers his mustache with his hands, which ultimately gives him away.

*This is the first piece of ''Super Mario'' media that depicts Bowser as having a musical side. This character trait was used again over 20 years later in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', where Bowser sings "[[Peaches]]."
