After he touched the water, he returns to his original form as a magic. Later, he teleported to a giant spaceship using the teleporter around the desert world.
Suddenly, 2 giant spaceships arrived near the edge of land into water and releases Bowser and 60 troops of soldiers to attack Peach's kingdom. The blue princess had a female child. The soldiers were looking for the pink princess and the blue princess. They destroyed the gate to Peach's castle and captured Peach.

Many toads outraged again and become furious. Later, a giant spaceship landed on comet observatory and look for the obserbatory overseer. Later the comet overseer was captured by Bowser aswell. Luma later went inside Mario's cap. Princess Daisy was hiding in the basement of the castle, thus not being caught.
===Chapter 1===
The third adventure starts again. Mario and Luigi told Toads whats happening to them. The bros. unwillingly saw a meteor shower in Toad Galaxy. Mario and Luigi hid through trees. Mario and Luigi should really kill Bowser for their permanently freedom. They saw many goombas and all of them were stomped by Mario brothers. They also beat some koopas. Mario and Luigi finally free the toads inside the jail. They were thinking if there are more toads to help. Later on, they hiked the valleys and saw the desert.
===Chapter 2===
Their journey was suspicious, they star slinged into the desert and should go inside the pyramids in order to find the another sling to Water World. They just traveled along the desert full of goombas, koopa troopas, spinies, The bros. were seen waving the sands but nothing are on it. They saw several Pokeys that should be avoided. They started to knock Pokeys with their star spins. Bowser's troops has already captured Princess Peach. Finally the bros. killed all of the Pokeys and after that, they have founded the star sling and used it.
===Chapter 3===
They are now in water world, and they have been looking for decisions and things to rescue Princess Peach again, who is currently held captive by the Bowser and his army. Once again, they were quite unhappy due to Peach's capture. Their decision and way aren't even sure for that. They keep on exploring several galaxies for their sake. Mario said that he likes exploring galaxies. Until they collect 300 stars, they need to rescue toads who are held captive. They want to rescue the toads in order to become the best hero in the Mario Universe.
===Chapter 4===
Mario and Luigi descended to the dark world full of boos. Luigi become coward and start shouting because he is scared in ghosts and boos while Mario is just calm. They need to find a Yoshi in order to get past boos. Later on, Mario found a Bulb Berry and let it ate by Yoshi. They hear a boo shouting loud even at far distances. Mario obviously thinks that the boo shouting is Big Boo. They cross around dark galaxies until they came tired. Mario and Luigi entered the mansion full of boos on it. Mario found a poltergust and used it to suck boos up while climbing the mansion. Later, the bros. finally encountered the Big Boo with crown on his head and started fighting him. After killing the Big Boo, they just heard the sling star growing in top of the big mansion. They climbed up stairs and used it to leave the dark and scary galaxy.
===Chapter 5===
After collecting 200 stars, the bros. managed to fight off Bowser's troops in a lava fields with toads panicking somewhere in this lava world. Luigi is no longer scared. He said to Mario that he is okay now. They hear the toads saying "help". They saw several fire enemies crossing in the lava. They used the mechanical wheel to get past the lava. Later on, the bros. were expected to see if Bowser is here. Mario shouted if he thinks Bowser is here in this lava world but nothing happened, meaning Bowser was not here. They keep on traveling the lava world until they found a sling star leading to final world.
===Chapter 6===
After collecting 300 stars, chaos spread through Big City Galaxy. The epic battle starts between toad soldiers and Koopa soldiers with their guns. Some of them are on their own fighter jet. Mario and Luigi seek to kill Bowser. The bros. quickly rushed and called Captain Toad using the phone in tower in order to get help. After the toads came, they had a sword to fight Bowser. Bowser, later fell on the city roads after losing fuel in the spaceship, which crashed on the tall building. The building is about to fall. Mario later reveals that Bowser is holding Peach and Roselina. Bowser throws the two princesses to the car, mortally wounding them on the road. Mario fights Bowser until he dies. He should dodge the flames that Bowser breathe in order to prevent taking damage. After the fight, Bowser had a sharp thing and stabbed Princess Rosalina on her heart. Luma said "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Mario was unconsious that he had 300 stars. Later, Mario was able to form a grand star by spinning for a long time. The grand star is adept and able to destroy durable enemies. The grand star that Mario has generates black hole (doesn't attract heroes and innocents). Mario then uses it, thus throwing Bowser to the black hole, permanently killing him. The blue princess died and Luma strongly cried.

Later Peach is sitting on the wheelchair and said "We are now permanently free!".

The End
==Gameplay==
Gameplay in Ultra Mario Galaxy 3 is somewhat similar to its predecessors, Ultra Mario Galaxy and Ultra Mario Galaxy 2. The levels are filled with gravity. The player needs to collect stars in order to advance to next galaxies. This game introduces 4-Player Co-op. It also has retained features from previous games such as outer space, gravity based and even more. Goombario and Geno is now playable but needs to be unlocked however. Ultra Mario Galaxy 3 introduces side missions. There are 3 profile slots. Starship Mario can be used to travel in other galaxies. This game introduces Ultra Mushroom and Pea Flower as the new power-ups. Starbits appear on this game. Mario, Luigi, Waluigi, Goombario and Geno can now punch enemies. The maximum starbits can be gained is 150. The player can change characters anytime during free roam. Each character has different statistics. Special attacks also return. The bros. can access Peach's Castle during free roam. There are 300 total stars found in this game.
==Features==
This are the new features in this game not appearing in other games similar to this.
===Negative Hidden Zone===
The most notable new feature on this game that appears in most levels. Upon collecting a Negative Orb, the camera view will zoom out shortly. The player is able to see secret areas not found and accessible at normal zone. The map turns into neon light blue, including the non-negative hidden zone. Many coins, star coins, starbits and power-ups can be found here. It also contains very fun slides. The Negative Orb is really hard to find, especially in the dark galaxies. In Co-op, for example; if player one touches the Negative orb, then the graphics of players 2-4 will turn into neon light blue as well. This effect lasts 60 seconds before this thing wears off (unless not inside a negative hidden zone).
===4-Player Co-op===
Up to four people can now play adventure. The co-op mode starts only with 2 players if the save file has 2 playable characters. This feature depends, for example; if a save file has 4 playable characters (2 unlocked), then 4 people can now play the adventure mode at the same time. Players are able to choose unlocked characters. There's no Player 5 because Co-Star Luma doesn't appear on this game nor its playable.
===Ultra Mushroom Power-up===
Ultra Mario Galaxy 3 features a new power-up called Ultra Mushroom (as the game title suggests). It transforms Mario into Ultra Mario. When the player becomes Ultra Mario, the "coin time" action will be triggered where the player should collect coins as many as possible before he returns back to his original form. Killing enemies with this form gains 5 coins. The player can also use star-spin to certain planets in order to knock enemies in that planet. After returning back to his original form, a number of 1-Up Mushrooms will be awarded to the player depending in how many coins he collect. The new form lasts 30 seconds.

= No lives
