The adventure begins when [[Princess Toadstool]] goes on a cruise with her steward, [[Toadsworth]]. The two end up in [[Rogueport]], home of liars and thieves. She slips away from him and meets a [[Beldam|mysterious hooded woman]] who offers her an ancient treasure chest. She claims that the chest can only be opened by "one with a pure heart." The Princess eagerly opens the box and discovers that it contains a [[Magical Map]]! She sends the map to [[Mario]], and offers to go on a treasure hunt with him, asking that he meet her in Rogueport. | The adventure begins when [[Princess Toadstool]] goes on a cruise with her steward, [[Toadsworth]].

As Mario reaches [[Rogueport]], he immediately finds trouble. The Princess is nowhere to be found, and a mysterious group-the [[X-Naut]]s-are attacking a [[Goomba]] girl named [[Goombella]]! The villainous [[Lord Crump]] directs the group to attack; Mario and Goombella escape in the massive pileup of bodies, and slip into the main town. Goombella introduces herself formally, and explains that she is an archaeology student under the great [[Professor Frankly]]. Mario shows Frankly the Map; he then explains the great legend tied to it. The map is connected to a massive gateway in the [[Rogueport Sewers]]- the legendary [[Thousand-Year Door]]! The door is rumored to contain a great treasure; however, a powerful seal holds the gate in place. The keys to the door are the seven [[Crystal Stars]]; the Map has the power to reveal where the Stars lie, if held before the door. Goombella and Mario go down to the Sewers, and encounter a mysterious [[Black Chest Demon]], who "curses" Mario with the ability to turn into a paper airplane! Mario uses this power to reach the Door; he holds the map in the air, and the [[Diamond Star|first Crystal Star]] appears, in what appears to be a [[Hooktail's Castle|strange castle]]... | As Mario reaches [[Rogueport]], he immediately finds trouble.
