<blockquote><i>The [[Mushroom Kingdom]] has remained a peaceful place, thanks to the brave deeds of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. However, the Mushroom Kingdom forms an entrance to the [[Mushroom World]], a place where all is not well. [[Bowser]] sent his [[Koopalings|seven children]] to make mischief in this normally peaceful land. As their first order of business, they stole the royal [[Magic Wand|magic wand]]s from each country in the Mushroom World and used them to turn the [[kings]] into animals. Mario and Luigi must recover the royal magic wands from Bowser's seven kids to return the kings to their true forms. As Mario and Luigi set off on their journey deep into the Mushroom World, [[Princess Peach]] and [[Toad]] have but one thing to say: “Good-bye, and good luck!”</i></blockquote> | <blockquote><i>The [[Mushroom Kingdom]] has remained a peaceful place, thanks to the brave deeds of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]].

==== | ===Cards=== | ||
====Level Cards==== | |||
A Level Card uploads a brand-new level into the game, which can be played in [[World-e]]. Only 32 levels can be saved on the game at a time, and up to 73 levels can be listed. | |||
==== | ====Power-Up Cards==== | ||
A Power-Up Card uploads an item (or a set of items) into either Mario or Luigi's inventory. There is no limit as to how many times an item card can be used. A variant type of Power-Up Cards are [[Switch Card]]s, which will trigger something in the game upon being scanned. | |||
==== | ====Demo Cards==== | ||
A Demo Card plays a movie of Mario {{wp|speedrunning}} through a level, collecting enough coins in a certain level to trigger a [[Toad House#White Mushroom House|White Mushroom House]], or racking up numerous [[1-Up Mushroom]]s via a special trick. | |||
