Peace has returned to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] thanks to the efforts of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]; however, [[Bowser]] sent his own seven children ([[Larry Koopa|Larry]], [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]], [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]], [[Iggy Koopa|Iggy]], [[Roy Koopa|Roy]], [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]], and [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]]) to the other countries of the [[Mushroom World]]. The Mushroom Kingdom forms a gateway to these lands, and the [[Koopalings]] have stolen the respective royal [[magic wand]]s of the seven [[kings]], using them to transform the kings into various helpless creatures. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] vow to go and stop the Koopalings' mischief, and change the kings back into their normal form. At the end of each world, Mario and Luigi fight one of the Koopalings, and after the match is over, retrieve the wand from the Koopaling to turn the king back to normal. While the brothers are out in their adventure, Bowser kidnaps [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and takes her to [[Bowser's Castle|his lair]] in [[Dark Land]]. The brothers go to Dark Land and fight Bowser. After defeating Bowser, they save the princess and restore peace once again. | Peace has returned to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] thanks to the efforts of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]; however, [[Bowser]] sent his own seven children ([[Larry Koopa|Larry]], [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]], [[Wendy O.

In September 2015, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] suggested that the entire game was, in fact, a stage play put on by the [[Mario (series)|Mario]] cast. | In September 2015, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] suggested that the entire game was, in fact, a stage play put on by the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' cast. | ||

|After getting a [[Super Star|Starman]], Mario will become invincible, and cannot be harmed by any enemies or obstacles. Along with the bonus of invincibility, Mario can also defeat most enemies without jumping on or throwing projectiles at them. This will only last for a short period of time (considerably shorter than other ''Mario'' games), and Mario will still lose a life if he falls into an abyss, a pool of lava, or runs out of time. | |After getting a [[Super Star|Starman]], Mario will become invincible, and cannot be harmed by any enemies or obstacles.

Another object is the [[Goomba's Shoe]], only obtainable in World 5-3 of the game. This object allows Mario to safely hop across dangerous objects and jump on spiky enemies, such as [[Piranha Plant]]s and [[Spiny|Spinies]]. It is obtained from attacking a [[Goomba]] hopping in the shoe from below. It is only found in this game and its remakes. However, since it is not a power-up it does not overtake any previous powers the player may have had. For example, if Fire Mario went in a Goomba's Shoe, then lost it, he would still retain his fire-throwing ability, similar to [[Yoshi]] in the [[SNES]] game [[Super Mario World]]. | Another object is the [[Goomba's Shoe]], only obtainable in World 5-3 of the game.

In international releases of this game, after players obtain a power-up that is greater than a Super Mushroom, any injury will turn them back to their super form, like in every platformer ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' game after ''[[Super Mario World]]''. In the original Japanese Famicom release, any hit reduces the player back to small form, like in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]''. | In international releases of this game, after players obtain a power-up that is greater than a Super Mushroom, any injury will turn them back to their super form, like in every platformer ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' game after ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

*Despite their artwork showing otherwise, NES palette limitations caused Mario's and Luigi's player sprites to have black overalls with no gloves and red/green hat, shirt and shoes (although corrected in the larger Spade sprite), some of the Koopalings' hair and shell colors to be slightly different, and Princess Toadstool to have brown hair, resembling her sprite from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' and Toad wearing a black vest and red pants.
