Princess Peach is holding a royal ball ceremony at her castle. She invites Mario and Luigi to her castle for the party. All goes well untill King Koopa comes in and sends UFOs to lift Peach's castle into the air. Mario engages in battle but fails to defeat Bowser. He is told that he has to collect power crystals,magical orbs and Power Stars in order to rescue Peach and overpower Koopa. Mario then heads to various lands outside of the Mushroom Kingdom to collect all of the needed items.
After he is done collecting the required items needed to overthrow King Koopa, Mario returns to the Mushroom Kingdom and heads to a spaceport so he can ride a space ship to reach Peach's castle. After Mario arrives at Peach's castle (which is floating in space), he enters it and traverses until he reaches the rooftop where Peach is being held with Koopa. 
Mario then battles King Koopa and succesfully defeats him with some slight assistance from Peach. Peach's castle then magically starts to come back down to earth and Peach rewards Mario with a kiss and they restart the ceremony.
