Plot
It's simply Super Mario Bros. 1 and 2 put together as a movie, with appearances and elements from Mushroom World Adventures and the original OVA.

Synopsis
Mario and Luigi are two ordinary plumbers in everyday life. One night, as the former was playing on a Wii console, a large pipe pops out of the floor and a woman emerges from it with no warning. Mario helps her up and she introduces herself as Peach. An hour after her appearance that night, a reptilian creature named Bowser emerges, snatches her, and disappears back in. Mario jumps into the pipe, and out of concern, Luigi follows him, beginning the adventure...

The plumbers wake up in a sunny field with mushroom-like people surrounding both of them. One of them approaches the brothers and explains Bowser and the Koopa Troop turning some of them including their own king into statues, his attack on many kingdoms such as the Penguin Kingdom, and the planned force marriage of their fair princess, which was the girl the bros. met yesterday. Determined to save her, Mario goes off on the journey, with Luigi and the Toad named Metage Whi accompanying him as well as a dog named "Kibidango". Before they set off, Para-Toad gives them a map to the Koopa Kingdom that will guide them.

Meanwhile, Peach secretly escapes from her cell and chances upon Bowser pleading with a mysterious hooded figure on letting 3 hostages go. The figure refuses and places magic on the king, making him more aggressive than when he kidnapped her. Now knowing the truth, she slips away quickly. While slipping away, she bumped into Princess Shroomla, who was captured by Duchess Zaffiro as means of being a bridesmaid and to have her magic stolen. She frees the other princess and they attempt to escape and find out the truth.

Back to the Mario Bros., they fight off the elite members of the Koopa Troop to weaken Bowser's forces before going to him, but strangely, they all anticipate the crew, with Metage Whi noticing Kibidango acting off and slipping away at a few moments. When Mario accidentally reveals his crush on Peach, the dog reveals his true self as Prince Haru, prince of the Flower Kingdom. He explains that he and Peach are meant to be and love each other to the point of being engaged. The trio pretended to believe the story, but saw a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

Back to Peach, she and Shroomla sneak back in when no one is there and finds out that the hostages were Morton Sr., Nise A. Zure, and Kamek, Bowser's two brothers and his caretaker. The trio explain that back then, they were all happy until a mysterious figure captured the three of them and a strange Toad-like person shot Bowser's wife. With their lives at the stake of their captor, the king unwillingly agreed, putting him under the spell that made him an aggressive dictator. Just as the trio finished telling the story, the figure returns and captures Peach and Shroomla with his magic, with Bowser following behind him. The princesses noticed that the king is in a trance and both were knocked out by Zaffiro before the wedding is set up.

Eventually, Mario, Luigi, Metage, and Haru reach Bowser's castle. The team stormed in, with powerups for the bros., a shotgun for the wizard, and a rapier for the prince, crashing the wedding. The team fought Bowser and Zaffiro and after a while, they won, with the king snapping out of his trance and the duchess being sent flying to the horizon. Before they finished him, Peach and Shroomla stopped them, with her explaining his story. Bowser himself agrees, confirming the truth. With the wedding disrupted, the figure appears once more, then the cage of Nise, Morton Sr., and Kamek comes down, and their captor reveals himself to be Lord Vengeance. Mario, Luigi, and Bowser fight off the mastermind while Metage, Peach, and Shroomla free the prisoners.

After defeating the mastermind, the Koopa Kingdom transforms into a normal-looking one. Haru then asks Peach to marry him, but she refuses, and they saw that there was no engagement the whole time. With nothing but anger in his heart due to the rejection, he snapped and began to attack Mario, who fights back. The latter triumphs and the former jumps away with a smirk. Now that the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom is saved and the Koopa Kingdom is freed as well as the Magic Kingdom being safe from terror, a union is formed between the kingdoms after Metage, Shroomla, and Kamek undo Vengeance's statue spell. Mario and Luigi decide to stay in the Mushroom Kingdom for they found life there better, thus ending their first adventure.

Meanwhile, Steve the Servant gives Haru a map that he was tasked to steal from the Mushroom Kingdom. That map leads to a rare, but powerful artifact that boosts the wearers power permanently even if worn only once.
