==Story==
Far away on a different planet known as the Mushroom World, a certain plumber and his brother are on an adventure to save their kingdom from chaos. An evil being has attacked the land with his troops, and plans to kidnap the princess and take over! This isn't the first time this has happened - the being has attempted to take over the kingdom more times than the creator of this page can count. One day, he has had enough. Instead of fighting off the plumbers like usual...he kidnaps them along with the princess and holds them hostage in his airship! The citizens of the land are stricken with magic and turned into more minions of the being's troop. Dark clouds cover the sky as the peaceful city is converted into a valley of castles and fortresses. The princess, taking a last resort, writes a distress letter and uses one of the cannons to blast it into space. This distress call may be the mushroom kingdom's only hope...

Meanwhile, on Planet Popstar, Kirby and his friends are having an uneventful day in Dream Land. King Dedede is feasting on a pile of food, Meta Knight is reading a book about an ancient race, and Kirby, well...he's asleep under tree. Again. Oh well, it's his usual self. Who can stay mad at Kirby?
Suddenly, Meta Knight notices a flash in the sky. He puts down his book and looks up. The sparkle gets closer, and closer...until it starts getting too close for comfort. Meta Knight rushes out of the way, and Kirby wakes up to see a bright blue ball barrelling straight toward him. Before he can even move, the comet hits him right in the face and knocks him backward. Luckily, he's unhurt, but a giant crater is now present in the ground. King Dedede walks over to the crater and spots a bottle with something in it. He grabs it and opens the bottle to find a letter from someone. Unfortunately, Dedede can't read. So Meta Knight grabs the note and reads it aloud...
:: "To anyone out there...
:: My name is Princess Toadstool. I am the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. In recent weeks, my kingdom has been endlessly attacked by an evil overlord who calls himself Bowser. He has turned the innocent civilians of my kingdom into terrifying creatures designed to wreak havoc on my land...and to make matters only worse, he has captured the only people capable of returning the kingdom to normal. I know there are heroes in other worlds out in the great beyond. To whoever recieves this letter, I beg you...please, save us and our kingdom.
:: Princess "Peach" Toadstool
This is obviously a cry for help. Meta Knight tells Kirby what's going on in Princess Toadstool's world, and Kirby offers to help. The king agrees, and so does Meta Knight. There's just one problem though...they have no idea how to get there.
