Chapter 1Edit
スーパーマリオワールド
After defeating Morton, an opening to Vanilla Dome appears. Once Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi enter, they see Lemmy's castle, where he and a Magikoopa are observing the trio. Lemmy tries to discourage Mario by telling him that Princess Peach is in danger while locked up in Bowser's lair, but when the Magikoopa uses a magic mirror to show Mario Peach, she is still singing on stage with Wendy. The trio is then sent thanks to Lemmy's magic to the first stage, which is full of boxes made out of Rotating Blocks. Due to the lack of a cape, Luigi is unable to proceed and is left behind, while Mario is able to jump over a lava chasm via jumping off Yoshi, who burns himself. In the next stage, Mario is forced to leave Yoshi behind too due to a beanstalk he cannot climb. After surviving Lookout Chucks crashing through walls and the local Ghost House, Mario arrives at the third stage, where he has to cross a lava river on a Skull Raft. After dodging the hungry Blarggs hiding in the lava, Mario reaches land, but gets stuck after kicking a Koopa Troopa in a small area between two pipes with Triangular Blocks at the base, causing the Koopa Shell to dangerously roll in an airborne circle. Mario, who was already jumping in, grabs onto a ? Block between the pipes and holds on for dear life.
At Bowser's Castle, Wendy has finally had enough of singing and falls asleep. Returning to the control room, Peach sees Mario in distress, and contacts Luigi on the radio (now in the second level), telling him that nearby there is a secret exit that leads to the Red Switch Palace. After getting distracted by the coins the Switch Block activates, Luigi finds the key and the keyhole, reaches the Switch Palace and activates the Red ! Blocks. With two new blocks appearing beside the ? Block, Mario is able to climb it and then carefully calculates when to jump to stop the shell. After doing that, Mario uses the shell to hit the block, revealing Yoshi inside. Luigi also reaches them and then they start fighting on who should collect the nearby 3-Up Moon. Bowser drowsily enters the control room and, seeing the heroes at the fourth stage, he presses a button to shoot multiple Bullet Bills from every direction at them, but to no avail, as the trio reaches Lemmy's Castle.
Yoshi is now able to access the castle, where they are welcomed by the Magikoopa. Mario stomps on him, but he quickly returns and turns a nearby block into a Koopa, but Mario kicks it against the wizard. As the three proceed, the Magikoopa casts one last spell, turning two blocks into a Super Famicom and a bowl of katsudon, distracting Luigi and Yoshi and leaving them out of the boss' room. The room is made out of pipes, from which Lemmy and two decoys emerge. Mario tries to stomp Lemmy, but a zigzagging Lava Bubble bouncing all over the room is making it difficult. When Mario finally finds an opening, he stomps Lemmy three times, sending him down the pipes and into the lava below. Another friend of Yoshi is rescued and, to make up for being distracted by Magikoopa's tricks, Yoshi and Luigi demolish the castle with hammers.
The next stop, on top of the Vanilla Dome, is the Cheese Bridge Area, at the end of which is waiting a big and powerful Sumo Brother and Ludwig's castle. After a lightning bolt from the Sumo Brother destroys part of the bridge, the Marios and Yoshi are forced to jump on various lifts and ropes, while avoiding chainsaws. After checking a block, Mario and Yoshi find a pair of Yoshi's Wings, and once the dinosaur takes them, he turns blue and skyrockets into the sky with Mario, leaving Luigi behind. While Mario and Yoshi are flying through the Coin Heaven, Luigi comes face to face with the Sumo Brother, but he jumps over him, ignoring his challenge, and reaches the castle. Luigi then tries to ask Peach where Mario is and how to proceed inside the castle, but realizes he has lost the radio, probably when he was wrecking the castle. Meanwhile, while Bowser yells at Sumo Brother through the intercom, Peach sneaks away. In the castle, after avoiding being stabbed by the spiked ceiling, Luigi battles with Ludwig and, after defeating him, the castle flies like a rocket and crashes on a nearby hill. Right after that, Mario and Yoshi return from the Coin Heaven with five Dragon Coins. When Luigi asks Yoshi why he is now blue, he explains that now, independently of its color, every shell he will eat will cause him to fly.
Next stop is the Forest of Illusion. At Bowser's Castle, Bowser orders Roy to go to his castle. Noticing how there are just three healthy Koopalings remaining, Wendy notices how Peach has disappeared. While looking for her, Wendy finds her escaping from the main gate, but when she reaches her, Peach has mysteriously disappeared: in actuality, Peach stepped on a Star Road and was warped to the Forest of Illusion, where she intends to reunite with her friends. Meanwhile, the trio has arrived in the first stage and is approached by wild Wigglers. Yoshi eats some of them, but when Mario and Luigi try to fight them, they end up angering them, but with a Super Star found in a Roulette Block, Mario is able to defeat them. Luigi too tries to get a useful power-up from another Roulette Block, but gets a Super Mushroom. In the meantime, Yoshi eats various fruits from the trees, and lays some eggs. Luigi asks if that makes him a female, but Yoshi explains this happens to all Yoshis: by eating fruits they lay eggs, and depending on the color, the egg contains something different: power-ups with red fruits and a cloud that spits Bonus Coins with pink fruits.
While they continue their journey, Roy mocks them and make them fall into the second stage, which is set underwater and full of Urchins. Yoshi tries to swallow one, but gets hurt and runs away. Peach, who heard them falling into water, reaches the level's entrance and, having a clear view of everything, tells Mario that Yoshi is stuck in a ditch. After Mario calms him down by riding him, Peach also suggests for him to stay near the ceiling if an enemy blocks their way in a narrow passage: that way, when hurt, Yoshi will unhors Mario, but he will bonk on the ceiling and land back on Yoshi. Watching from the camera system, Roy sees Peach, and realizes that if they reach the finish line, she will be reunited with the heroes, so he orders a Rip Van Fish to lure them to the secret exit. Seeing the fish sleeping inside a wall, the heroes find a passage to a key and a keyhole that takes them to the Blue Switch Palace. By the time they activate the Blue ! Switch, Roy sneaks up to Peach and traps her in a bubble and blows her towards the castle. Mario and the others see her, and Roy blows in their direction a bunch of Goombas and Bob-ombs in bubbles. While dealing with the enemies, Yoshi sees a Koopa and eats it. With his wings back, Mario rides him and catches up to Peach, but a Bowser Statue on Roy's Castle's rooftop burns them, making Yoshi crash on land. Mario lands in front of another secret exit that leads him inside the castle.
After a tortuous trip on a snake platform that led him between zigzagging Lava Bubbles, falling spikes, and Bowser Statues, Mario reaches Roy, and seeing that his fighting style is identical to Morton's, tries a different approach: he mocks him for copying his brother and for his ridiculous sunglasses. Angry, Roy chases Mario, but he falls on the Snake Block, making him go through the same traps Mario overcame before. After being scorched, crushed, and stabbed, Roy explodes with the castle. A bit dizzy, Mario and the imprisoned egg survive and are reunited with Luigi, who found Yoshi (who is green again) in a block. Just then, Mario realizes he forgot about Peach, and sees her bubble floating towards Chocolate Island, where Wendy is awaiting them.
Chapter 2Edit
スーパーマリオワールド
Like the last volume, this chapter is set in a different continuity from the previous one, but unlike the last volume, where the stories were not connected, in this one, the heroes' adventures are in a linear narrative.
赤 いスイッチの宮殿 の巻 (The Red Switch Palace)
In Vanilla Dome 1, the group sees a block high in the sky with a beanstalk that leads to a key and a keyhole. While Mario can reach the vine by jumping off Yoshi, he chooses to locate the Red Switch Palace, seeing there are some red Dotted-Line Blocks that form a staircase that leads to the beanstalk. In the second level, Luigi gets stuck in a pit full of coins after activating a Switch Block over some Empty Blocks, but a passage opens for Mario, Peach, and Yoshi that brings them to the secret exit. Arrived at the Red Switch Palace, Peach notices a Switch Block and grabs it, seeing a hall with Koopas and a flashing shell trapped in Empty blocks, Mario yells her to stop, but Peach flinches and slams the Switch on the wall, activating it and releasing the flashing shell which follows her. While escaping, Peach runs past the other Koopas, collecting a 1-UP and the Switch's effect runs out, trapping the shell behind a block. Peach then slaps Mario and Yoshi, who sat there to root her to collect a second 1-UP.
秘密 コース出現 の巻 (A secret course appears)
Now that Mario has activated the Switch Palace, Luigi, who has returned to the first course, access the secret exit and a new path opens on the west wall of Vanilla Dome. In the Vanilla Secret 1, Luigi starts climbing, but he is then attacked by a storm of Koopa Paratroopas. While the Paratroopas are beating up Luigi, Caped Mario, and Peach riding Winged Yoshi reach the top and a bruised Luigi follows them. Through a pipe, the group arrives in the Vanilla Plains.
- フクマンネンはちくちくまんねんの
巻 (Porcu-Puffers are prickly)
In the lake, a new course appears. Peach stays behind, not wanting to get wet, but the others, entering the level, splash water that drenches her. A bunch of Dolphins jump towards them and Yoshi eats them all. Thinking they escaped the numerous enemies, the heroes are attacked by a Porcu-Puffer. To escape its poisonous spikes, the trio swims onto an island. The Procupuffer slams its face against the ground, getting angry, but calms itself down by loudly explaining how they just doomed themselves by getting rid of their allies, as the Dolphins would have acted like platforms for them. Immediately, the Marios force Yoshi to puke the Dolphins out. Mario and Luigi traverse the stage riding the Dolphin, while Yoshi (as revenge for having eaten the Dolphins) is left behind by the Dolphin and is forced to swim for his life from the Porcu-Puffer. After finishing the stage, the three resurface in the lake, and Peach asks them how it went, felling bad for missing the experience of riding a Dolphin.
砦 の中 はガイコツだらけの巻 (Inside the fortress full of skeletons)
While Yoshi stays behind, tired of the exhausting swim, Mario, Luigi, and Peach enter the Vanilla Fortress, which is flooded and infested by various skeletal enemies: Fishbones, Dry Bones, and Bony Beetles. The Dry Bones toss their bones to the heroes, but one accidentally throws its own skull, and hits a spike on the ceiling, which falls on Peach's skirt, pinning her to the floor. Mario tells her to remove her skirt to escape the Dry Bones hoard, but she refuses to do something this embarrassing. So Mario stops the Dry Bones, telling them to be the one ashamed, since as they are more naked since, beside the clothing, they are also lacking flesh. While the dumbfounded Dry Bones actually discuss it, Mario removes the spikes and the three enter the boss' room. Angry at them, the Thwomps squash the Dry Bones for letting Mario get away.
砦 のボスはブイブイの巻 (The fortress bosses are the Reznors)
The bosses of the fortress are four fire-breathing dinosaurs known as the Reznors on a strange vertical carousel. Luigi makes one of them fall from its position, but in doing so, the Reznor breaks the footbridge, revealing lava below it. As the floor crumbles, the three jump on the freed spot on the carousel, and Peach makes another Reznor fall, but the other two are now insisting on spitting fireballs, not giving them a chance to make them fall too. Meanwhile, Yoshi, having caught his breath, is now hungry, and hallucinating that the fortress is a two-layer cake, starts eating it. Thus he makes a hole in the roof and falls in the boss' chamber, right on top of a platform. Due to inertia, the carousel spins rapidly, and the other two Reznors are shoot outside the fortress right into the river and fall down the waterfall. Peach thanks Yoshi by giving him a kiss, making the Mario Brothers so jealous that they start tossing bricks at the dinosaur.
- まよいの
森 のハナちゃんの巻 (The Wigglers of the Forest of Illusion)
After passing the Twin Bridges, the heroes arrive to the Forest of Illusion. Peach is immediately mesmerized by a Wiggler, but Mario warns her that they are easy to enrage. After being stomped by an angry Wiggler, Peach orders Yoshi to eat them all. Yoshi initially refuses, claiming he is full because he ate an entire fortress, but gets scared by Peach's angry face. Stuffed and full, Yoshi faints, so Luigi grabs a Super Star from a Roulette Block and runs towards all Wigglers. While trying to keep up with him, Peach and Mario notice a keyhole under a log bridge. To reach it they need a Power Balloon, but a Paratroopa steals it. Mario jumps towards it, but the Paratroopa passes it to a companion, but it fails to catch the power-up, that lands in Yoshi's mouth, turning him into a balloon. With his help, Mario and Peach reach and open the secret exit. The Paratroopas are distraught, until one of them notices that Luigi has reached the regular goal: now the group is split and reuniting in the forest is near impossible.
- おばけ
屋敷 は出口 がふたつの巻 (The Haunted House has two exits)
Mario, Peach, and Yoshi arrive at the Forest Ghost House. Being scared of ghosts, Yoshi wants to wait outside, but Peach slithers a konjac on the back of his neck, scaring him so much that he runs non-stop inside the manor with his eyes closed. Mario and Peach follow him, but hindered by a Boo Crew, they lose him. After escaping the Boos using masks placed behind their heads, Peach and Mario returns to the first hall, where they see two doors and enter one, not knowing the Yoshi went in the second one. Mario and Peach found the regular exit (with a 3 UP Moon) and proceed to the next stage, while Yoshi went through the secret exit that leads him back to the first stage, where he is reunited with Luigi.
- ゴールで３UPの
出口 の巻 (3UP at the Goal)
Yoshi and Luigi are in Forest of Illusion 2, where Yoshi takes Luigi over the Urchin, thanks to his spike resistance, but Luigi does not want to flee, and takes a Grab Block to throw at the Urchins. While he is having fun, Yoshi finds a cave with the key and a keyhole and enters it. Meanwhile Luigi picks a fight and wins against a Chargin' Chuck, but it takes out his whistle and wakes up the nearby Rip Van Fishes, which charge at Luigi. Fleeing, Luigi crosses the Giant Gate and all nearby enemies turns into points. Due to the large quantity of fishes, Luigi gains a 3-UP, but only then he realizes to have lost his companion once again, while Yoshi, scared of Luigi sudden violence, decides to stay by the Red Switch Palace.
- トゲゾーで
無限 増殖 の巻 (Infinite multiplication of Spinies)
In Forest of Illusion 4, Peach grabs a floating 1-Up Mushroom, and gets caught by a Fishin' Lakitu. Mario finds a Koopa shell and tries to toss it at the Lakitu, but he trips and the shell skids in a ditch between a hill and a pipe. Lakitu then starts throwing Spinies, but they land in the ditch and are eliminated by the shell, causing Mario to gain some extra lives. Lakitu flees in the clouds, but using an extendable pipe, Mario reaches them and kicks the Lakitu down from the cloud. Left alone over the clouds, Peach goes for a romantic confession, but then Mario has the idea to compare Peach's brooch with Ultraman's timer, causing an action figure of the character to land on her head, and she falls down. The cloud also disappears and Mario falls down too. While Peach lands in a pipe, Mario lands beside it and, unaware of her fate, Mario continues and is chased again by Lakitu. Once again, Mario trips and another shell he was carrying lands between two buildings made out of grab blocks and Lakitu, once again, throws Spinies in the same spot as the shell, giving Mario more extra lives. In the pipe, Peach finds a keyhole that leads her to the Forest Fortress.
単行本 買 えネの巻 (Buy the Tankōbon)
Mototin, in a dramatic pose on a rock in the middle of the sea, asks the reader to not forget to buy the Tankōbon version of the manga.
砦 の先 は（まだ）ヒ三ツだよの巻 (There is (still) a secret beyond the fortress)
The entire group is now officially separated from one another. Suddenly, Peach lets out a loud screms. Mario, using his cape, uses it to fly, while Yoshi and Luigi beat up a Blue Koopa and a Super Koopa to quickly fly towards the scream. The three find Peach, who yelled to lure everyone at her location, as she has found a fortress. Inside, the Reznor are ready for a round two, and they send against the group two unstoppable Grinders which cut through everything. Mario quickly comes with a solution and set up a magic show, then, him and Peach enters two boxes and asks the Grinders to cut them in the middle. Satisfied to have cut Mario in half, the Grinders look for something else to cut and put their eyes on the Reznors' carousel and they all fell into the lava, while Peach and Mario are revealed to be fine, seeing as Luigi and Yoshi were faking to be their lower half of the body hidden in the boxes. After the fortress is destroyed, the group finds a giant star behind it, but the star talks and explain that, to reveal the secret behind it, they first need to conquer Chocolate Island.
