The twelve magic gems[1] are very important gems in Yoshi's Safari located in Jewelry Land, protecting the kingdom from disasters. When Bowser and his Koopalings conquered the land, they took the magic gems, causing a rift between the kingdom, splitting it into the Light Realm and the Dark Realm. Mario and Yoshi are entrusted by Princess Peach, who is friends with Jewelry Land's prince, Prince Pine, to stop the Koopas and save the kingdom. Every stage boss possesses a magical gem that Mario will acquire upon defeating them, one by one. For every stage cleared, the respective magical gem will appear next to the stage name.

Each gem has a different coloration, yet they collectively exhibit only four distinct shape types: round, emerald, marquise, and radiant.

After obtaining all the gems and rescuing Prince Pine, Mario is instructed by him to throw the gems in the air to restore Jewelry Land in one realm.

In the game adaptation of the Super Mario Kodansha manga, the effects caused by the robbery of gems are slightly different: the Light Realm gems cause King Fret and Prince Pine's heads to turn into a teapot and a pineapple, respectively, and their castle to float in the air. After defeating Bowser in the Light Realm, he brings the heroes to Cornice Cave, where the last five gems are located on a giant crown. Peach, ignoring the king's warnings, picks one up, plummeting Jewelry Land into the Dark Realm, as those gems were preventing it from occurring. Upon hearing this, Bowser seizes the five gems, and the Dark Realm saga unfolds. Before the final battle, Mario attempts a hostage negotiation to let Prince Pine go, by surrendering the magic gems to Bowser, but he refuses to let the prince go. During the final battle, Bowser utilizes the magic gems to power-up his mecha suit's rays, so Pine tells Luigi, who just took back the rest of the gems, to place them in the Super Scope's barrel. With eleven times the power of Bowser's rays, Mario defeats him and once he takes the last gem, Jewelry Land and its rulers are restored.

In the Yoshi's Safari arc in Super Mario-kun volume 9, the twelve gems are replaced by three Crystal Kinoko, capable of granting a wish once collected. A chaotic force is tormenting the whole world, so Peach entrusts Mario and his friends to retrieve the Crystal Kinoko, but Bowser finds two of them and steals the third one found by the heroes, so he can wish a vacation for himself. While chasing him, the heroes arrive in Jewelry Land, where the chaos causes the inhabitants (and later the protagonists) to turn into machines. After defeating a couple of bosses, Mario takes back the Crystal Kinoko from Bowser and restores the world.
