Fortunately, in his mission he can count on the friendship of Toad, an inhabitant of the Mushroom Kingdom, and on the advice of Princess Peach, who is dealing with the imminent invasion of the very bad Bowser. Having learned the fighting techniques from Peach, Mario will have to appeal to all his strength not only to find Luigi, but also to stop Bowser’s attack, perhaps finding other allies along the way …
