Chapter 1[edit]
ジャン！マリオ
At the Mushroom Castle, the opening of the Mushroom Kingdom Treasure Museum is being broadcasted on TV. While Princess Peach is showing the main item of the collection, the Golden Mushroom that has been passed down by generations in her family and its market values goes over hundred thousand million yen, the lights go out and, on TV, Mario is able to hear a deep voice thanking them for the Mushroom, while Bowser's silhouette briefly pops out from the darkness. Mario and Luigi, who were watching the inauguration on TV, zips to the castle on the Monster and in a matter of seconds reach the museum and turn on the lights. As expected, the Golden Mushroom is gone. Mario asks the King to let him investigate the theft and he promotes him as chief detective of the Special Kinoko Police (SKP for short) and gives him a star badge.
Luigi asks the guards at the entrance if someone went through the exit, but they confirm nobody got past them. While Luigi tries to state that maybe the culprit is among them, Mario notices a Bowser-shaped hole in the wall. Outside the hole, Mario interrogates some Monty Moles working on the nearby waterworks. After paying their witness with a Dragon Coin, causing Yoshi to arrive with a siren-helmet on. Peach explains Yoshi moved from Dinosaur Land due to work, now being Peach's part-time assistant, and he has been ordered to be the SKP vehicle. The Moles state that Bowser fled to his hideout, in the abandoned toy factory in the town's outskirt. As the SKP and the TV troupe leaves the castle grounds, the Moles informs their boss, a Mega Mole, that their plan worked, and they will now proceed to tunnel out from the castle grounds with the Golden Mushroom.
On their way, Luigi afoot and Mario riding Yoshi, the latter gets distracted by the food stands in the resturant district and things do not improve when the stands' owners, recognizing them from TV, gives them free food. Luigi arrives alone at the factory and starts to investigate. Bowser and his family are in economical difficulty, selling Mechakoopas as toys, but until now, no Golden Mushroom in sight. When Mario and Yoshi finally arrive, they almost blow their cover, but fatten up by the free food, Bowser fails to recognize them. They then watch Bowser trying to sell his Mechakoopas, and arrests him after he threatens some Toad kids to eat them if they do not buy them.
At the police station, Bowser denies the theft accusations, even after breaking Yoshi's gentle patience and being tortured by him, he keeps insisting he did not steal the Golden Mushroom. Peach arrives, and also claims that Bowser might not be the thief: thinking more about it, when Mario and Luigi were speeding to the museum, she tried to talk to the thief, even offering herself as a hostage in exchange for the Mushroom, but the thief refused and Bowser would never miss a chance to kidnap Peach. But the question still remains: if Bowser is not the culprit, then who is? Just then, someone drills in the police station's floor: it is the Monty Moles with the stolen good riding a Bowser-shaped car with drills.
Being discovered, the Moles make a run for it with by tossing Bob-ombs, then jumping on the F1 Hanachan, a Wiggler-shaped racecar, to escape the police. Yoshi and Mario run behind them. Despite the Moles trying to put some distance by hitting the car and making it angry to speed it up, Yoshi eats one of the segments, causing the F1 Hanachan to crash. Mario goes to arrest them, while holding his star badge. Mega Mole stands up and pulls out a gun and shoots Mario, but the bullets bounce off him: the star badge is made out of a Super Star so he is invincible when he holds it. Mega Mole then asks how he is going to arrest him if his touch is going to kill him, then. Just then, Yoshi gulps the enemy, keeping him in his mouth.
The Golden Mushroom is returned to the museum and Bowser is set free.
Chapter 2[edit]
ピーチ
Christmas is approaching and while window shopping, Peach notices a young beggar girl pleading people to buy her toys, or her mean father will beat her up. Looking for something to gift Mario, Peach look in her selection, and when she picks a Bob-omb puppet, this explodes in her face, knocking her out thanks to the chloroform it was filled with. The girl, which is revealed to be Wendy, picks her up and takes her away. At the Police Station, the chief receives a package for Detective Mario: it is a VHS tape made by Bowser and the Koopalings, in which they depict the Mario Bros. and Yoshi as evil monster that are trying to force Peach (still drugged and moved by Wendy like a puppet) to marry them, when the superhero Bowser comes to save her. Just then, Bowser calls Mario telling him he is going to air the show next day on television. As Luigi is ready to locate the call's source, the chief realizes that the sender address is written on the package: the old film studios.
In a matter of minutes, the Kinoko Police, along with snipers, have surrounded the studios. When Bowser does not respond, Mario dressed up Yoshi as Bowser's mother, came to convince her son to give himself up to the authorities. As Bowser is about to do that, the snipers shoot him in the shell, and a box of oranges Bowser was standing on rolls out of the barricade, making Yoshi drop his disguise to eat the fruits and angering Bowser.
Feeling hungry, Bowser orders the police to bring him some ramen to share with his kids, or Peach will be put at risk. Luigi tries to sneak in dressed up as the delivery boy, but he is caught in a Chain-Link cage. When Peach also joins the feast, Luigi yells at her to not eat the sushi, as it had laxatives to keep Bowser occupied. Furious, Bowser summons his floating Castle's artillery. Seeing this, the Kinoko Police barges in.
By the time they reach, Bowser he has already entered his castle, and Mario follows him inside, discovering it is just a prop, unfortunately the cannon and the giant Banzai Bill he intends to shoot are not. Mario throws small Yoshi's Eggs at him, they hatch into Baby Yoshis, and they take Peach to safety. Even more furious, Bowser shoots the Banzai Bill against Peach's Castle. Unfazed, Mario and Peach points out that a Banzai Bill will just fly straight harmlessly, but Bowser reveal it was charged with nuclear core and it will explode taking the whole Mushroom Kingdom with it. Immediately, the Blue Baby Yoshi starts performing a summoning dance, and a Super Koopa appears. After squashing it and taken his cape, Mario flies and stops the Banzai Bill before it crashes against the castle, locates the nuclear core behind an Astro Boy sticker, removes it, and cape-twirl the Banzai Bill back to its sender.
After blowing up, Bowser, Magikoopa, and the Koopalings are all arrested, while the Kingdom prepares to celebrate for Christmas. Meanwhile, Luigi is still stuck in the cage, half-squished by the destroyed barricade the Kinoko Police took down while barging in.
Chapter 3[edit]
During the Mushroom Kingdom National Day, at the top floor of the Kinoko Biru, Peach has been organizing the People's Honor Award ceremony. Every celebrity and important people are present at the event, including Mario and Yoshi as security, with the latter muzzled to avoid him from gulping the entire buffet. Peach announces the winner: it is Mario. As he goes to pick up the prize and cheers, Yoshi reminds him that the media would be very interested in a story in which he forced his best friend to wear a muzzle, so he relentlessly removes it and Yoshi dives for the buffet. As Mario receives the prize made by Peach herself, contained in a gift box, some throws a cake to his face: it is Bowser, who sneaked at the party dressed as the buffet's cake. Mario, as security, prepares to arrest him, but Bowser pulls out some dynamite sticks, threatening to blow up the entire building. As everyone are stunned from the fear, Yoshi still keeps eating, causing Mario to yell at him. Distracted, Yoshi trips and on a tube connected to the gas main, causing the room to fill with combustible air. Even worst, Yoshi eats a red-shell crab, meaning that he is capable of spitting fire.
The building is quickly evacuated, as Mario goes to seal Yoshi's mouth with the muzzle, and Bowser grabs Peach. While Mario manages to stop Yoshi from spitting fire, a single flame comes out from his nostril and the room and the building is engulfed in flames. Meanwhile, outside, the firefighters can do very little to tame the flames outside a skyscraper, but thanks to Luigi's tribal dances, the flames start to die out. Thanks to this, Mario and Yoshi, and Bowser and Peach, respectively hidden in a Yoshi's Egg and under a table, survive the flame and can make their way to an exit. As Bowser try to reach Mario's gift prize, discovering too late that Mario took it out of the box, Mario and Yoshi take Peach and run to the elevator. Furious, Bowser summons some Lil Sparkies and Hotheads to stop the elevator and forcing the occupants to get out of it. He then summons a flock of Swoopers to keep Mario and Yoshi at bay while he runs to the rooftop, where his Koopa Clown Car awaits.
Bowser tries to activate the vehicle, but Peach quickly turns it off, and they go at it for a while, causing the flying mechanism to break. Reached by Mario and Yoshi, Bowser gives up and asks for a help to take off. Mario rolls a ribbon around the propeller and then pulls, causing the vehicle to take off, but when he asks to jump in, Bowser only tries to take the box in his hands, but he falls out and only Peach and Yoshi lands to safety. As the flames quickly catch up to them, Mario pulls out the content of the prize box: it is a handmade sweater. Then the building collapses, but from the smoke Mario emerges, carrying Bowser with him: tying the sweater to his neck, Mario was able to achieve his caped form and flew to safety. Bowser (and, unjustly, the Koopalings too) is punished by restructuring the Kinoko Biru, while Yoshi lies to the firefighter blaming Bowser for starting the fire, much to Mario's disappointment.
Chapter 4[edit]
The SKP team has reached the ski resort of White Kinoko, where Peach is at, enjoying the activities. She invited them to join them, but Mario refuses, claiming they are there for business, and when she asks for what, Mario has to keep the matter secret, even from her, which makes the princess upset. A few days ago, the Kinoko Police Captain had heard rumors about the sighting of a yeti in the snow region, asking Mario the absolute confidentiality to avoid spreading panic. Peach returns with some snowboarding gear, to which Luigi and Yoshi are eager to take to join her skiing, but Mario has to harshly decline, making her crying. Right after, a masked individual takes one of the snowboards and slides down the mountain, making Mario jealous when Luigi claims he is better than his brother. While the SKP team is still on the watch for the yeti, it starts to snow, and Peach comes to jokingly mocking them to follow her to the hot spring resort, where she has planned a romantic dinner for Mario and she, but he creates an igloo, making her furious that her plan to spend time with him failed again. Right then, someone knocks on her room's door, and when she goes to check, she screams.
By the time Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and the princess' assistant Kinopio-san arrive in the room, Peach has already disappeared. According to the staff and Luigi's sketch, the aggressor was a big monster, most likely the Yeti they came to check upon. Following the tracks, Mario contacts the captain to send them the Tricolored Yoshis. By the time of their arrival, the snow storm stopped and the tracks are gone, but through their sense of smell, the chase continues. At one point, distracted by three fruits on a perching, the Yoshis (who were training a sleigh with Luigi and Yoshi on it) goes towards them and the ground below them gives up, leaving Mario alone to deal with Peach's kidnapper: Bowser, ready to go in hibernation with Peach. Hearing this, the princess (half stuffed in a giant snowball) tries to escape, while Mario distract Bowser by throwing snowballs at him, and also, the masked snowboarder from before arrives to give Mario back the board he took from them. Annoyed, Bowser throws a Thwomp at Mario, causing an avalanche that overwhelms Mario.
Bowser drives away with Peach on a snowcat, unaware that in one of the snowball that Mario threw at him there was a tracker. Meanwhile, the masked snowboarder, which reveal himself to be the Yeti (actually a friendly small snow creature), digs Mario up from the snow and, thanks to the snowboard, he reaches Bowser's snowcat. Bowser tries again to bury it with avalanches created by Bob-ombs, but Mario rides the snow like waves and lands on Bowser's head, causing him to roll down a gorge, where Luigi and the Yoshis are waiting to punish him. Bowser attempts to call his kids to help him, but they have just gone to hibernation, and Bowser is beaten to a pulp and exposed as an ice statue at the resort. With the Yeti mystery solved, and sure that he means no harm, Mario and Peach can finally enjoy their winter-themed date.
