== Synopsis ==
Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad need a hundred coins to save the Mushroom Kingdom Orphanage, eventually deciding they must sell the royal cow, so Toadstool sends the Mario Bros. to do so. Dealin' Delbert, the local cow dealer, won't pay the amount needed, but instead gives them three garbanzo beans. Upon finding out, the Princess reveals that she's allergic to and sneezes the beans out the window.
While the group sleeps, a giant beanstalk grows. Mario gets the idea to sell the beans from the stalk. They climb the beanstalk to pick them from the top going down. At the top, they find a giant castle where they find that King Koopa had inexplicably grown himself to giant size. He intends to eat the group in his stew.
The group escapes to a window while King Koopa watches on. However, he pulls on a chain causing a shutter to fall on the window effectively trapping his prisoners. Eventually he manages to capture the Princess and Toad, but he's forced to drop them when the Marios make him sneeze. While escaping from the giant, they run into his treasury. King Koopa traps them in the room, believing they'll be buried by the coins. The coins are laid by a normal-sized, but cursed, goose. The goose pleads for help and Mario helps her. She reveals that she is forced to lay and shows the group the way out.
Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad manage to escape, and after battling some Hoopsters on the way down, Luigi starts cutting down the beanstalk. Mario asks the goose for coins, but she reveals that without King Koopa's spell, she can only lay regular eggs. The beanstalk falls bringing the castle down with it. Coins spill from the castle and King Koopa falls into the water, which somehow shrinks him even smaller than Toad. He runs off, vowing to return bigger than ever.
