The Mushroom Kingdom is threatened by a power mad villain, and it is up to Mario and Luigi to set things straight. This is a fun game for children from 6 years.

Once again the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom is threatened. Fawful is on the loose, and he has put an awful curse on the kingdom. By feeding the inhabitants magical mushrooms he turns them into giant rolling balls. He also fools Mario’s arch enemy Bowser into swallowing a so-called “Vacuum Shroom”. This mushroom enables Bowser to swallow people, and by accident he inhales Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and several others. Mario and Luigi have to find their way out of Bowser, a task that proves to be much more difficult than anticipated. If you get tired of playing as Mario and Luigi, you can switch to Bowser. As Bowser your mission is to find your way back to your castle and put an end to Fawful’s plans.
