== Story ==
Outside the Mario home, Luigi is collecting the mail. He picks up a letter with a wax stamp in the shape of a pipe, opens the letter, and is shocked by what he reads. He rushes inside to tell Mario in gibberish what he's read, and Mario runs out of the house and towards a Pipe-shaped castle in the distance.
Mario, with Luigi close behind, is shown entering the castle throne room where Princess Peach, Yoshi, Yellow Toad, Blue Toad and Toadette are waiting. It is revealed by a the King of Pipe Land that Princess Piper has been kidnapped by Bowser. Mario and friends give determined looks to eachother, then rush out the castle door to save the Princess of Pipe Land. As the overworld is shown, Nabbit can be seen following the party.
