Part 1 - Toad Town
In the beginning of the game, a shadow next to a tree grows and covers a toad, and then a "!" appears above his head and then turns to stone! After that, it shows Mario & Luigi at their house getting ready to leave, and a toad suddenly runs into their house with a scared look on his face, and says: "Mario! Luigi! Keep out of the shadows! Everyone who's been in a shadow today has turned to stone! By the way, Princess Peach called a mandatory meeting for you guys, as well as some other people, and you have to come to the castle ASAP!" The toad then leaves, and Mario talks to Luigi, and then the camera shows the bros arriving at the castle, and their is a save block right next to you. At this point in the game, the player has control over the bros, and the only way you can go is north. Go north, and you'll be in the meeting room. Another cutscene ensues. Peach says: "Well, it looks like everyone is here! Shall we begin?" After she says that, Bowser, who is offscreen, says: "Hey!" and then comes on screen, and proceeds to say: "How come I wasn't invited?! I live here, so it's my problem, too!" Toadsworth then says to Peach: "You know, he has a pretty good point!" Now, I know what you're thinking: "Oh, come on! Bowser is always the first fight in these games!" Well, this time the first battle isn't Bowser! Anyway, continuing the story! After Toadsworth says that, a Black Portal suddenly appears behind Peach, and a Black X-naut shaped being comes out of it. The Black X-naut(known as a Darkling), says: "Ah, we've finally absorbed enough life force! Now I can gather souls for my lord the Neverlaster!" Peach then says: "What?! So you are one of the ones responsible for this?! Mario, fight him!" After this, the player has to fight the Darkling. The way he attacks is the same way a goomba attacks. Once you've done enough damage, he says: "Man! You're a better fighter than I would expect from a Lightborn one! I'm not gonna show any more mercy from now on!" After he says that, he shoots a giant ball of darkness at you, which is impossible to dodge, and so it defeats you, and ends the battle. After the battle, the Darkling grabs Peach and runs back into the portal, which promptly disappears. A giant object, which everyone thinks is a meteorite at first, crashes into the room, and it is then revealed that it is a spaceship, not a meteorite. The door of the spaceship opens, and an injured alien says: "I tried to fight them...but even though I had the Darkrod...they were still...too..strong...Mario...Luigi...I have seen you...fight...take this Darkrod and...these two teleporters...the teleporters have already been...set for my planet...the Darkrod will give you...some hope for this planet...it will...allow...you...to...go...in...the...shadows...without ha....v....ing.....your......l..i...f....e...f..or..c..e...s...t...ol...en..." The alien then dies, and Mario & Luigi use the teleporters to teleport to planet Zzelon.
