When Mario arrives at Rogueport, he sees a young Goomba being harassed. After saving her, she tells him that she's a student of archeology.

Mario decides to search for the stars in hopes of finding Peach on the way, and he ends up facing a new group of enemies in the process.

Much like the previous game, this one is divided into chapters and also features interludes in which the player controls Princess Peach. This game also adds segments where Bowser is playable in a side-scrolling style.
Legacy[edit]
