It's a very simple game, a few parts are complex but it's easy for kids, good story, Mario has to get 7 stars to defeat Bowser, Bowser steals a star rod and kidnaps princess Peach (again) lol

You also have interludes as Princess Peach and an adorable little Star Spirit named Twink

The story is once again Bowser Captured princess Peach, but Bowser came with the star rod which has the power to grant all wishes.

And after every world you complete, you'll get to play a short interlude where you control Princess Peach

this game is great i have played the game and its great your mario and once again bowser has kidnapped princess peach so its up to you to save her, this game is huge spaning 7 worlds and 20 towns with wepons such as the hammer and fire flowers, you have help from characters such as, goombario, kooper, bommbette, and my personal favorite

The story begins in Princess Peach's castle, as she is throwing a party for all of the Mushroom Kingdom

Anyway, The game starts with Princess Peach inviting Mario and Luigi to her Castle for a party

He uses it to kidnap Princess Peach, along with her entire castle, all part of a plot to destroy Mario (the second part of that plot is SO original!)The game consists of you playing through 8 complete levels, rescuing the Star Spirits (which Bowser has also captured), and eventually facing Bowser himself
