====Mario Story====
The game starts by explaining what the Color Stones are. It then shows Mario on his way to Peach's Castle for a party. Once Mario arrives, Peach welcomes him. However, before they can start partying, the castle starts shaking and everyone begins panicking. Part of the castle falls on Mario and shatters, but knocks him unconscious.
When Mario wakes up, he finds Peach missing, and everything else black and white and turned to stone. He hears someone talking from underneath a bowl turned to stone, and, using his hammer, frees Goompa. Goompa agrees to help Mario figure out what's going on, and so they leave.
While exploring the Mushroom Kingdom, they find only enemies have survived. In Toad Town, they discover a team of Goombas who dislike Goompa because he took their Goomnuts. In order to protect Goompa, Mario battles them with help from Goompa.
Upon the defeat of the Goomba Crew, they flee from Mario and Goompa, who chase after them. They arrive at a strange fortress that they've never seen before. Inside they find the strongest member of the Goomba Crew: Goober. Mario and Goompa battle Goober to defeat him, and once they do so, he escapes with the rest of the Goomba Crew. They then find the Rainbow Transport hidden in the fort, and are teleported away.

====Mario Story====
Mario and Goompa arrive in Color Town to find it the only place with full color. Oco and Lor appear and realize that Mario is the hero. Oco explains what happened- someone attacked Color Town and stole the Color Stones and scattered them. Without the Color Stones, everything is black and white and stoney. They've been studying the area for awhile, and have discovered that the Red Color Stone is hidden in Rainbow Outskirts, which is very close. Oco decides to help Mario and Goompa, and the three set out.
Arriving in Rainbow Outskirts, Mario, Goompa and Oco fight off different types of enemies, such as Goombas and Koopas. While there, they see Dolly P. Koopa with her Butterflies. Dolly sends her Butterflies to find the Red Color Stone, so Mario and the gang decide to keep an eye on her. After battling off some Butterflies, Dolly herself appears to face Mario, and they battle. Upon her defeat, the Butterflies carry her back to Bowser's Castle.
Eventually, they find the Red Color Stone and start to grab it. Before they can, a blue ball of light attacks Mario and turns into a shadowy version of him. They battle the "Shadow Mario", but after he's defeated, he grabs the Red Color Stone and flees. The heroes chase after him, but when they catch him, he splits into a Shadow Oco and Shadow Goompa too! They battle him and, once he's defeated, get the Red Color Stone from him. The Red Color Stone flies away and colors a volcanic area on the map. Mario and the team head to Color Town to see where they need to go next.
====Peach Story====
Peach wakes up inside of an odd space station. She looks around in confusion and wishes that she knew where she was. To her surprise, Twink bounces off of her head. Twink explains that he's granting her wish- she's in the bad guy's lair. Peach asks if he can help her again, and he says he can. He leads her through a secret path, bringing her to a lab. Inside of the lab is a computer, which Peach reads a file off of. The file reveals that the Blue Color Stone has already been taken by one of Lor (though she doesn't know that it's Lor)'s minions. Knowing what the Color Stones are, and deciding that Mario probably needs them, Peach sends Twink to tell Mario.
====Bowser Story====
Dolly returns to Bowser's Castle and tells Bowser that Mario beat her. Enraged, Bowser gets Kammy to come with him to Rainbow Outskirts to find it themselves. They journey around the outskirts, finding secret paths that Mario couldn't access. Though they find one of Bowser's missing jewels, Kammy soon realizes that the Red Color Stone was already collected by Mario. Enraged, Bowser sends Roy and his Embers out to stop Mario from getting the Blue Color Stone.
====Luigi Story====
Luigi is relaxing in his house, somehow unaffected by the lack of color around him. Suddenly, he gets a letter asking him to return to the Waffle Kingdom and save Eclair once again. Luigi heads to the dock, where Tayce T. is. Turns out, she was heading to the Waffle Kingdom to get some ingredients for a cake. Since the water is stone anyway, Luigi and Tayce run across to the nearby Waffle Kingdom.
====Yoshi Story====
Yoshi's Island survived the lack of color due to their Happy Tree, which keeps their color. However, a 10 different Yoshi Eggs of 10 different colors did not manage to survive, so Yoshi and Birdo decide to get the Color Stones and turn them back. Journeying around the Rainbow Outskirts, Yoshi and Birdo find areas that Mario couldn't enter and collect some extra items. The Red Yoshi Egg regains its color and hatches, and then explains to Yoshi and Birdo that Mario collected the Red Color Stone. Yoshi gives Baby Red Yoshi all the items he found, to give them to Mario. As such, the Yoshi heads off to give Mario his gifts.
