In his evil plot to take over the Mushroom Kingdom, Fawful tricks Bowser into eating a magic mushroom. The mushroom causes Bowser to begin inhaling everything around him, including Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach! Do the Mario Bros. have the guts to rescue Peach and escape?

A suitably unique departure from the standard platforming towards more RPG oriented gameplay. The interactive special attack system keeps battles entertaining. While the story could have been a bit more involved this is overall a great game.
