Synopsis
(If there’s some typos, comment below so I can fix that)

It’s 1986, it’s a stormy night, and in The Mushroom Kingdom Palace, Queen Toadstool gives birth to her daughter, Peach. She dies because of child birth and the King is heartbroken. As King Toadstool walks to his throne, holding his newborn daughter, he is met with King Bowser Koopa, who has learned that his brother, Morton had been killed by King Toadstool. Bowser swears revenge saying that he was one day kidnap Peach. Years later, somewhere in Brooklyn, two brothers work at their plumbing business. We meet Mario, and Luigi. For quite some time, Mario has been depressed, and it’s soon revealed why. Turns out Mario’s girlfriend, Pauline had broken up with him. Luigi tries his best to make Mario move on, but has some trouble with their rivals, the Scapelli Brothers, Wallace and Walter. Mario decides to go visit his psychiatrist to find a way to recover. His psychiatrist says that he must cut off from the alcohol, and talk to his brother more often. Meanwhile in the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach is all grown up, and is about to be crowned Queen tomorrow by her father. She is then greeted by her long time friend, Daisy, who has come to congratulate Peach. Meanwhile somewhere far from the kingdom, a Koopa Troopa named Kamek runs into a dark castle. Inside is Bowser Koopa. He tells Bowser the news, which of course this angers him. The next day, in Brooklyn, Mario and Luigi are called by a Construction Foreman to come down and fix the pipes from deep underground after some parts of the construction sight have been sinking due to some flooding. Of course the brothers arrive, and are surprised to see that the Scapelli Brothers had tracked them to do the job first. Of course comes an argument between the four, but the fight ends when the Construction Foreman gets the brilliant idea of them working together. Of course when they get down there, another argument happens but Luigi breaks it. Out of nowhere, Luigi discovers a Koopa Troopa which at first believes it to be a normal turtle. Then out of nowhere, Goombas and Koopa Troopas attack them but the plumbers are able to fight back. Suddenly the place begins to collapse, and out of nowhere pipes emerge from the ground. Mario, Luigi, Wallace, and Walter decide the only way to survive is to go into the pipe. They are all surprised to see that the pipe was actually a portal of some sort, which leads them to an ocean. Mario and Luigi awake on shore, and are surprised to see that Walter and Wallace had left. At the first they believe that they are at the Bahamas but are soon encountered by more Goombas. Thankfully, they are saved by a small mushroom boy. The boy introduces himself as Toad, and brings them to the Mushroom Kingdom Palace. At first the guards suspect the brothers of being minions of Bowser, but soon learn they are just normal brothers. King Toadstool introduces himself to the brothers, as well as Peach and Daisy. After the brothers talk to them more, and the Coronation of Peach begins, Bowser attacks, and kidnaps her. During the aftermath, King Toadstool remembers what Bowser said years ago, and feels like he lost. But then, he gets an idea, he decides to send Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Daisy to go save her. before they go though, King Toadstool gives Mario a crystal that belonged to Peach, that way, he can “connect” to her. Thus, the journey begins. Meanwhile, Wallace and Walter struggle on surviving, and are encountered by a mysterious shadow. Meanwhile, the crew discover a forest, and then sees The Scapellis in a tree. They are then encountered by a dinosaur like creature, who is soon learned to be friendly. It’s revealed that it’s name is Yoshi. They decide to bring Yoshi, Wallace, and Walter along to save the princess. They decide to camp by a lake. While at the site, Mario grips onto the crystal, and thus is telepathically speaking to Peach. He learns from her that Bowser wants her so he can hand over the throne. Meanwhile in Bowser’s throne room, Kamek sends in the chief of the mushroom army, Toadster. He of course kills him and uses his body to be made into a brick. In the morning, the plumbers, Daisy, Toad, and Yoshi continue their journey. They find an abandoned house and go inside to search it for supplies. They are encountered by Boos and they of course leave. Meanwhile back at Bowser’s castle, Peach is interrogated and tortured by Bowser. Due to the crystal being able to make Mario telepathically talk to Peach, Mario senses it, and somehow punches Bowser. This leads Bowser to think one of his troopas hit him and kills one of them. Back on the journey, the group discover a watery area, and of course they go through. The group once again find a camping spot, and stay there. Luigi then reveals to Daisy his history. Turns out he inherited more from his mother, obviously, and at some point when the brothers were young, their father was killed at a construction site. The group then find an abandoned village, where Daisy and Toad explain that this was a war area from The Fungus War. Turns out Bowser had a brother, as established in the beginning, named Morton. At the end of the war, Morton was killed by King Toadstool, which explained Bowser’s hatred towards him. After a few more struggles, the group finally arrive to save the princess, but are knocked out by Wallace and Walter. The group wake up and learn that Wallace and Walter had been working with Bowser ever since they washed up to shore, and that they were in the forest because they were sent to find them. The group are tossed in a prison cell with Peach in it. Mario apologizes to Peach for failing her, but is apologized by being given a kiss. Toad finds a way to break the cell, and the group, along with Peach escape. Mario decides to fight Bowser, and manages to defeat Bowser by knocking him in some lava. The castle begins to collapse, and Wallace tries asking Mario for help but when trying to save them it’s too late. In the end, Peach is brought back, crowned as queen, and the brothers return home, along with Yoshi. Before Mario left though, Mario promised to Peach that he’ll return one day.

Post Credit Scene:

It’s revealed that Wallace and Walter survived the collapse of the castle. While Walter finds his hat, he hears his brother laughing. At first, he thinks he’s messing around with him, but realizes that he’s not laughing because of something funny, but laughing because he’s become crazy. Walter of course calls out his name, but Wallace turns around, and says “It’s Wario!”, also showing that he now resembles somewhat of an insane Mario.
