After a relaxing day around [[Peach's Castle]], [[Mario]] and the gang notice a strange letter in a bubble saying they are happily invited to the Party Islands. The gang then cheers about it but then the letter suddenly traps the gang in bubbles to carry them though the sky to the Party Islands. | After a relaxing day around [[Peach's Castle]], [[Mario]] and the gang notice a strange letter in a bubble saying they are happily invited to the [[Party Islands]].

While Mario and the gang are partying and playing games, [[Bowser]] shows up, feeling jealous about why Mario and his friends are invited and he wasn't, so he builds [[Bowser's Tower]], saying that anyone can join him at his evil party. He begins locking all the fun from the Party Islands in bubbles. He also puts evil magic in the bubbles made by the bubble machine to make [[bubble clone]]s of the gang to guard the tower. The player's selected character and a green [[Toad (species)|Toad]] advance up the tower and defeat the bubble clones as well as various bosses. After defeating Bowser in [[Bowser's Sky Scuffle]], the player's character then defeats the [[Mario]] bubble clones guarding the bubble machine and then destroys the bubble machine with a ground pound. Shortly afterward, Bowser reappears and boots the player's character and the green Toad out of the tower, inviting them to challenge him any time and that he won't be done. | While Mario and the gang are partying and playing games, [[Bowser]] shows up, feeling jealous about why Mario and his friends are invited and he wasn't, so he builds [[Bowser's Tower]], saying that anyone can join him at his evil party.
