After the events of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Mario and friends believe [[Subcon]] is all a dream and move on.

As the game played, music from [[Super Mario World (album)|the ''Super Mario World'' soundtrack]] and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3, Hop! Step! Jump!]]'' - as well as new, original compositions and jingles - would be used in place of the traditional ''Super Mario USA'' music.
