==Story==
===Prologue===
On a normal day in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario & Luigi were invited to Peach's Castle by Princess Peach  herself, organizing a get-together with Yoshi , Toad , and Starlow for some cake and tea. Mario & Luigi accept, and head promptly off towards the Castle.
Meanwhile at Bowser's Castle , the Koopalings are running the minions through their training drills, aided by Captain Goomba and the Elite Trio . While the training is going on outside, Bowser , Bowser Jr. & Kamek are discussing a new plan for kidnapping Peach.
However, during the meeting they are interrupted by a Goomba stating that lunch is prepared (which pleases Kamek), a Koopa Troopa who states that the castle's minion training is finished (which Bowser Jr. is happy with, because that means he can play with the Koopalings), and a Dry Bones who states that a group of thugs are attacking the castle, which Bowser waves off, not fully listening.
He soon realizes what the Dry Bones said, but is too late as the castle begins quaking from multiple explosions. Kamek and Bowser Jr. escape by flying away, but a massive explosion sends the Koopa King flying out of the castle and towards Toad Town.
Meanwhile, the Mario Bros. arrive at the castle, and meet up with Yoshi and Toad on their way to the throne room. Inside, the group sits down for their meal with Peach, Starlow & Toadsworth. After a bit of chatting, they feel a faint rumble, which Toadworth writes off as a shaking pipe. However, the shaking gets stronger and louder. The group evacuates the table they are eating at (with Yoshi gulping the last of his fruit), before Bowser crashes through the ceiling and smashes the table.
The group is startled at the unconsious Koopa, but they suddenly hear a pair of familiar laughs. It turns out that they belong to Wario and Waluigi, who arrive in flying some sort of hovercraft. Mario engages in a battle with Wario, as Waluigi enjoys terrorizing Luigi in the background by flying around over him.
Mario defeats his rival, but the whole ambush is actually a trap, as Yoshi, Toadsworth, and Toad are taken hostage by a shady bunch who introduce themselves as the Sneakahs. They are a rag-tag group of theives and hoodlums who joined up with the Wario Bros. to try and take over both the Mushroom Kingdom and the Koopa Troop.
The Leader of the Sneakahs, a hooded being called Ghadrus, reveals that they plan to seize control of a mythical artifact that can grant untold power and infinite riches to the wielder. They then realize that they don't need the Bros, Peach, or Bowser anymore, and after Bowser awakens and questions what's going on, Ghadrus uses a magical staff to launch him and the others out of the Castle.
===Awakening in Crumble Caverns===
Mario and Luigi awaken, seeing that the group has landed in a cave. Bowser awakens, and sees the Bros. Enraged, he orders them to tell him what is going on. Peach awakens and tells Bowser what happened, and how the Sneakahs and the Wario Bros. attacked the castle. Hearing the news, he mentions how he was launched out of his castle after an attack on it. He then asks where they are, and Peach suggests looking for an exit.
Starlow gives Mario the Star Satchel, a magical item that lets characters remain inside. However, it only fits three, so Mario lects to lead the party and the rest agree to stay inside, with one remaining with mario at all times. naturally, the first one is Luigi.
As the group explores the cave, learning how to battle as a quartet, they find one member of the Sneakahs, who just so happens to be Midbus . Angry at his defeat in the third game, and upset at the loss of his master, Fawful, he engages the group in battle. However, he is defeated, and is forced to retreat aboard a hovercraft. However, he reveals that they have seized both Bowser and Peach's castles, and are using them as bases for their scheme. Bowser, enraged at this, orders the group to head to Bowser's Castle.
The group reaches the exit of the cave, but find it blocked by several hard boulders. Bowser manages to crack them, but hurts his fist in the process. Starlow then gives Mario and Luigi hammers, and teaches them how to use them. After clearing the road, the group exits the cave and begins to traverse Mushrock Road.
