==Plot==
==Plot synopsis==
[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] are eating pasta for lunch outside [[Toad House|Toad's house]]. When Mario looks around, bored, he is shocked when he sees [[Bowser|King Koopa]] and the [[Koopalings]] walking towards them, holding a white flag. To the surprise of Mario and his friends, Koopa announces that he is giving up his evil ways and surrendering his kingdom, and is leaving the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] forever. To try and make up for all the misery that he has caused, he gives Princess Toadstool the key to [[Bowser's Castle|Kastle Koopa]] as a donation to charity. Koopa then uses his [[magic wand]] to create a [[Warp Pipe]] which he and his kids exit through.

Koopa then uses his [[magic wand]] to create a [[Warp Pipe]] which he and his kids exit through.


With the key to Kastle Koopa now in her hands, Princess Toadstool decides she can turn the place into a retirement home for elderly [[Toad (species)|Mushroom]]s. Luigi warns Princess Toadstool that the whole ordeal is probably a trap, and tells her to just throw the key away. However, Princess Toadstool points out that the old people of her kingdom need a good home, and decides to visit Kastle Koopa right away. Mario tells Luigi that he will travel with Princess Toadstool to protect her, just to be safe. Princess Toadstool and Mario then head for the Warp Pipe to [[Dark Land]], while Luigi and Toad follow along.
