Story/Plot


In the beginning, Princess Peach (Toadstool) sends Mario a letter stating exactly: '''Dear Mario, Please come to the castle. I have baked a cake for you. Yours Truly, Princess Toadstool Peach.''' Apparently Luigi and Wario have also seen the letter, and come with Mario to the castle to get the cake, too. The group heads into the castle... but dont come back out. Yoshi, sleeping on top of the castle (throwback to the original game) is woken up by Lakitu. He says that Mario has not returned yet. Then, the player has to start the game as Yoshi.
