Princess Peach has been kidnapped! While
enjoying a nice walk with Mario, the beloved ruler
of the Mushroom Kingdom was whisked away by
an unknown assailant. How could this happen
with Mario around?
According to eyewitnesses, the
walk was going swimmingly when
Mario and the princess spotted smoke billowing out of
Peach’s Castle. The mustachioed marvel immediately
jumped into action and sped off toward the fire. The
moment he left her side, the princess vanished!
Who’s behind Princess Peach’s disappearance?
Who’s behind the attack on Peach’s Castle?
Are the two incidents related?
Didn’t Bowser Jr. once think Princess Peach might be
his mother?
Looks like Mario’s going to need all the
Mega Mushrooms he can find to get to the
bottom of this mess!

Map Screen
The course name and the
number of Star Coins
collected on the course.
Flashing numbers indicate
that Mario has collected the
coins but not yet reached the
course goal. ( Page 15)
You can move to a different
world by tapping one from
this map. You cannot move
to courses marked in black.
Mario battles Bowser Jr. at the end
of each tower course, and he fights
different bosses at the end of each
castle course. You’ll be able to save
( page 16) once you complete a
tower or castle course.
Pay the number of Star Coins
shown on these signs, and they’ll
vanish from the board to open new
paths. Once you spend the Star
Coins, you can save your progress.
( Page 16)
If you see the Flying ? Block
or a Hammer Bro. on a course
marker on the map screen, then
you’ll know the block or bro will
appear somewhere on that course.
Check your progress bar for the
mark to see where they might be.
Along the way, you’ll see different Toad Houses where
you can get items. Hit blocks or panels on-screen to
get items. In the green Toad House, you can earn a lot
of 1-Ups, but be careful: if you hit the block with the
Bowser card, the minigame will end. You’ll get to keep
your 1-Ups, but you won’t get to hit any more blocks.
Use to move Mario across the map. Press to begin the course Mario is standing on.
Clear a course to move on to the next one, and clear the castle at the end of a world to go to the
next world.

This shows how many
Star Coins you’ve
collected on the current

If Mario picks up an item
when he’s powered up
( Page 22), the item goes
into your reserve spot on
the Touch Screen. To use
the item, simply tap it to
make it drop onto

*Not all courses have midway points
If Mario falls in a pit,
gets hit by an enemy,
etc, he’ll lose a life. If he
loses all of his lives, it’s
game over. ( Page 15)
If you don't reach the
course goal before
time runs out, you'll

When you reach a midway point on a course, a flag will appear on the
action screen, and the midway point will appear on your progress bar.
If you replay the course, you’ll start from the midway point. However,
if you play another course and then return to this course, you’ll have
to start from the beginning.
Every course has a goal at the end. When you reach the end of a course,
face the pole and jump as high as you can. The higher Mario grabs on to
the pole, the more points you’ll earn.
Getting whacked by enemies and falling in pits
makes Mario lose a life. If Mario loses all his lives,
your game ends, and you’ll have to start from your
last saved point. If this happens, choose either
