The game takes place inside a storybook. The book's story tells of the dream world of Muu, where the quality of dreams determined the quality of the weather the next day. Because of this, the Muu citizens invented a [[Dream Machine|dream machine]] so they could always have good dreams. One day, a mischievous being named [[Wart|Mamu]] (whose name was changed to Wart for ''Super Mario Bros. 2'') invaded the land and used the dream machine to make nightmarish monsters.
