[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Princess Daisy]], [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad|Yellow Toad]], [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad|Blue Toad]], and [[Toadette]] are invited to the [[Flower Kingdom]], a neighbor to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] ruled by [[Prince Florian]]. Florian shows off the [[Wonder Flower]] to his visitors, when suddenly, [[Bowser]], [[Bowser Jr.]], and [[Kamek]] arrive. Bowser takes hold of the Wonder Flower, merging him, his [[Koopa Clown Car]], and Florian's castle, the [[Flower Castle]], to become [[Castle Bowser]]; he proceeds to spread havoc across the entire kingdom, including trapping the kingdom's inhabitants, the [[Poplin]]s, in their homes. Not wanting to let this stand, Mario and company eagerly decide to help save the Flower Kingdom, and set off with Florian to stop Bowser's plans once again. The group is closely followed by four [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s and [[Nabbit]].

The group is closely followed by four [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s and [[Nabbit]].


Mario and his allies journey through [[Pipe-Rock Plateau]], [[Fluff-Puff Peaks]], [[Shining Falls]], [[Sunbaked Desert]], [[Fungi Mines]], and [[Deep Magma Bog]], collecting the [[Royal Seed]] from each in order to remove the [[Cloud Piranha]]s protecting Castle Bowser, defeating [[Wonder Bowser Jr.|an enhanced Bowser Jr.]] three times and disabling three flying battleships summoned by Kamek in the process, before confronting Bowser within the castle from [[Petal Isles]]. After getting through some more of his defenses, Mario and his allies eventually defeat Castle Bowser, [[The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage|preventing him from using Wonder powers to terrorize the universe]], and saving the Flower Kingdom, leaving the heroes, along with Florian and the Poplins, to celebrate.

Meanwhile, a post-credits scene shows Kamek attempting to carry Bowser Jr. and Bowser, who has reverted to his normal form, in the Koopa Clown Car; however, the weight is too heavy for Kamek and he sinks, causing them to crash into some hills near the Flower Castle.
