==Story==
Our heroes, Mario, Luigi, Toad and Yoshi are chilling in Toad Town when a meteor falls down. The crew goes to investigate. It turns out the meteor was actually an airship that crashed a while ago. Meanwhile, Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach so they decide to take it for a ride to Bowser's Castle. They start flying but Mario and the gang are startled that there is a RObotic Chip of Kinetic Intel, or ROCKI for short. Rocky lives as a memory chip thing inside the airship and becomes the party's guide. The ship happens to run on Green Stars which are everywhere in the Mushroom Kingdom/
So Mario and the gang make it through all the kingdoms and collect the Green Stars. After finally defeating Bowser, the crew is suddenly attacked by aircrafts. ROCKI reveals herself to be a spy for the Dark Empire, and that ROCKI led the villains right to Mario's airship to attack it. ROCKI suddenly self-destructs. Now, Mario and the gang must face a new danger. The greatest danger they have faced yet. The Dark Empire.
Once the empire is destroyed for good, Mario, Luigi, Toad and Yoshi go home and nap the greatest nap the world has ever seen.
The End...

==Areas==
===Toad Town===
====Concept====
Toad Town is the first level in the game. It's divided into two sections: the town and the gardens. The town is where all the NPC Toads hang out. There's also a shop and minigame house. Unlike other kingdoms, this place's shop updates with more items the more Green Stars you collect. The Garden is a place full of Goombas and Shy Guys.
====The Story====
Mario, Luigi, Toad and Yoshi are just chilling at home until they notice a meteor crashing down. It appears to have landed in the Gardens, so everyone goes to investigate. On their way, they meet up with The Goomba King. He seems to be protecting something very important. Upon defeating him, he drops a Green Star. They continue walking until they discover that the meteor was actually an abandoned airship. The crew walks inside. Suddenly, to their surprise, a robot voice inside the airship starts to speak to Mario and friends. It explains that its name is ROCKI and that this airship crashed down from the sky. A Toad then runs up to them announcing that the princess has been captured! The airship happens to run on Green Stars so they use the Star dropped by the Goomba King to chase after Bowser.
====Mechanics====
Not very much. Since it's the first level, it teaches the player how to run, jump and climb. There are also these flowers. If you jump on them you'll spring into the air and fall slowly.
====Characters You'll Meet====
	ROCKI 	The robot that lives in the airship and the party's guide. ROCKI provides tons of useful information and is nice to have around.
	The Toads	The toads are this town's NPCs. They can do all sorts of things.
====Missions====
Thumbnail	Name 	Reward 	Objective
 	The Meteor	Nothing	Investigate what happened in the Toad Town Gardens.
===Springy Savannah===
====Concept====
A savannah level inspired by Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze's savannah level. It's the first real open world level.
====The Story====
One Green Star isn't enough to get to Bowser's Castle, so the airship must stop at Springy Savannah. More Green Stars are needed to keep advancing.
====Mechanics====
In this level, it's pretty much a flat plane with some landmarks thrown in. The missions here teach the player about grabbing and throwing. Pretty simple.
====Characters You'll Meet====
	Cranky Kong	Cranky Kong is the one who will provide the player with the missions they will have to complete. He is located near where you first land in Springy Savvanah
====Missions====
Thumbnail	Name 	Reward 	Objective
tba 	Seed Shenanigans	Three Green Stars	To complete this mission, you must find 3 seeds out in the wild, pick them up, and bring them back to a greenhouse. 
tba 	 	 	
==Bosses==
	King Goomba	Appears to be in the Toad Town Gardens. He's to tall to jump on. King Goomba will march in your general direction. In the arena, sometimes a flower will sprout out of the ground. Use these flowers to boost into the air and stomp on him before King Goomba tramples said flowers. 	thumb|right|100px
	Donkey Kong	This ape will run around the arena, occasionally rolling. Jumping on him will only stun him. When he throws some barrels at you, jump on them, grab them, and toss them at DK. If you jump on him beforehand, you will have a clear shot. 	right|100 px
	Maple 	He stands in the middle of a circular arena (think of Bouldergeist) This tree will shoot out a straight line of roots towards Mario as an attack. It can also summon enemies to fight for him. After a while, some Black Flowers and one Fire Flower will sprout up. Collect the Fire Flower and wail on Maple like crazy to defeat him.	right|100 px
	Big Boo 	What Big Boo will do is chase you down a large hallway. Avoid moving bookshelves and other obstacles. Big Boo will also shoot blue fireballs in your direction. When you get to the end of the hallway, there will be a lamp box. Grab it and shine it on Big Boo for a few seconds to finish him off. 	right|100 px
