Peach's Castle (Story Mode)
Hosted by Shrumba. When you enter Peach's Castle for the first time, Shrumba will welcome you to the festival and it will show all of the default playable characters (except Bowser, Koopa Kid, Koopa and Kamek) participating in minigames. It zooms out to reveal Bowser, Bowser Jr. and Koopa Kid watching them party angrily, as they were not invited. Koopa Kid asks if they can cause havoc, which Bowser agrees to. Bowser Jr. and Koopa Kid then hop into each of their own Clown Copters and begin dropping Bob-Ombs onto the castle. The playable characters will dodge, but, along with Shrumba, are hit and launched away. Yoshi and Birdo land in Yoshi's Forest, Toad and Toadette land in Baby Park, Boo and Red Boo land in Boo Mansion, Peach and Daisy land in Ice Pit, Wario and Waluigi land in Water Pit and DK and Shy Guy land in Fire Pit. Shrumba lands next to Yoshi and Birdo and asks if they've seen Mario and Luigi. The dinos shake their heads and Shrumba leaves to search for the bros.. Yoshi and Birdo then meet Pink Birdo, who explains what Bowser has been doing to the forest. In Baby Park, Baby Mario tells the Toads that Bowser is attacking there, in Boo Mansion, Black Boo is telling the Boos that Bowser is attacking there, in Ice Pit, Penguru is telling the Princesses that Bowser is attacking there, in Water Pit, Cheep-Cheep is telling the Warios that Bowser is attacking there and in Fire Pit, Podoboo is telling DK and Shy Guy that Bowser is attacking there. The six teams nod, agreeing to save the worlds.

When the six teams all arrive at Darkness Pit, Shrumba is there waiting for them. None of them have managed to find the Mario Bros., which causes them to panic. Toadsworth flies in on what looks like a miniature version of Peach's plane and reveals that Mario & Luigi had landed in his house and he had been chasing Shrumba the entire time. Shrumba explains what has happened and the Mario Bros. set off to stop Bowser once and for all.
