Shortly after Mario reaches Rogueport, he finds [[Lord Crump]] attempting to interrogate [[Goombella]] about the [[Crystal Stars]]. Mario intervenes and Lord Crump tries to defeat him. After defeating the X-Naut general and escaping from the X-Nauts, Goombella introduces herself, and Mario explains his quest to her. As Goombella is also searching for the map's treasure, she decides to join Mario. Then, Goombella suggests to go to [[Professor Frankly]]'s house, to consult him and show him the map. At the professor's house, Frankly explains that the map is related to the legend of the treasure of the [[Thousand-Year Door]], and that, to obtain the treasure, one must first open the door with the seven [[Crystal Stars]]. Said objects can be found by holding the Magical Map before the Thousand-Year Door, which is located in the [[Rogueport Sewers|town's sewers]]. So, Mario holds the map before the Thousand-Year Door, revealing the [[Hooktail Castle|location]] of the [[Diamond Star|first Crystal Star]].

Professor Frankly tells the group that the [[Ruby Star|Crystal Star]] is located in [[Creepy Steeple]], near [[Twilight Town]]. When Mario & co. get to Twilight Town, they discover that the village is under a curse cast by a [[Doopliss|monster]] who lives in the steeple. Using a new Black Chest Demon [[Black Chest Demon#Tube Mode|power]], the group reaches the steeple, and battles the monster. During the battle, the monster uses an ability to steal Mario's name and body, transforming Mario into a shadowy version of himself. Mario's partners claim the Crystal Star and leave with [[Doopliss|whom they think is Mario]]. Meanwhile, the [[Shadow Sirens]] are in Twilight Town, planning on defeating Mario and his partners with their new weapon: the [[Superbombomb]]. However, [[Beldam]] seems to have lost it, prompting her to blame [[Vivian]] and to force her to search for it. The real Mario returns to Twilight Town, and helps [[Vivian]] with her problem. Out of gratitude, she joins Mario's party. They eventually discover that the monster's name is [[Doopliss]]. After telling Doopliss his name, he is weakened and flees to Creepy Steeple. Mario and Vivian chase him there and they fight once more. Mario and his new partner defeat Doopliss, allowing Mario to regain his name and body and obtain the [[Ruby Star]].

Meanwhile, [[Bowser]] continues his quest for the Crystal Stars by flying to [[Glitzville]] in his [[Koopa Clown Car]].

[[File:PMTTYD Shadow Queen closeup.png|thumb|upright=1.4|The queen is unleashed.]]After Mario has received all seven [[Crystal Stars]], the time has come to open the [[Thousand-Year Door]] and enter the [[Palace of Shadow]] to rescue [[Princess Peach]] from [[Grodus]].

Mario and his friends open the Thousand-Year Door with the seven Crystal Stars, allowing them to enter the [[Palace of Shadow]]. The palace itself is full of enemies, puzzles, and traps. Eventually, Mario and co. battle and trounce a dragon named [[Gloomtail]], older brother of Hooktail. After the dragon's defeat, he relinquishes the key to access the [[Riddle Tower]]. After solving the puzzles of the tower, a secret passage which leads deeper into the palace is revealed. Mario and his party continue down that path, but not before defeating the [[Shadow Sirens]], who try to get rid of them. Finally, Mario and company reach the throne room of the palace, where they find and defeat [[Sir Grodus]]. [[Bowser]] and [[Kammy]], who drop in unexpectedly, also battle Mario, but are thwarted in the end. Grodus uses the distraction of the battle to bring Princess Peach into the deepest part of the palace. There, he opens a sealed coffin and frees the [[Shadow Queen]], the ancient demon of legend. [[Beldam]] suddenly appears and announces that she was the one who orchestrated the plot to free her mistress. The Shadow Queen refuses to be controlled by Grodus, and fries him with a lightning bolt, apparently killing him. The Queen then possesses Princess Peach, using her as a vessel to sustain her life. The world is then covered in darkness. Mario and his allies fight the Queen, but she eventually decides to fight in her real form, in which she is invincible. She proves too much for the group to handle, however, the Crystal Stars suddenly react to the evil of the Queen and fly throughout the world, each returning to where they were found, allowing the people of the world to cheer on Mario and his party. The hope of the people of the world break through the Queen's invulnerability, and this also allows Peach to give the heroes the last of her power. Strengthened, the heroes seal the Shadow Queen forever, saving the world.
