Princess Peach's birthday is ruined by the evil Koopalings that trap Peach inside a cake. The cake is loaded onto Bowser's airship and takes off, with Mario, Luigi, and the two Toads giving chase.
It was Princess Peach's birthday, and everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom was excited. There was cake and presents... but then Bowser and his kids kidnapped her (again)! This time, however, Mario's brother Luigi and two Toads join him, and with them, plus two new power ups, they go on a journey through eight different worlds to save Peach.—Matt TOB
