The Story


Hello Mario! I am travelling in the Mushroom Kingdom for a holiday.

Well, in my travels, I’ve got a box with a mystical map, oh actually it is a treasure map. I got it from an old merchant in a town called Rogueport.

I thought you could help me hunt for it since it would be too difficult for me to try to go find the treasures all by myself. Of course you will help me, won't you?

Please bring the map with you when you come, I've included it in this letter. See you at Rogueport. (Well, this only means you MUST come!)

~Peach

The story, continued after Mario reads Peach's letter.


Where had Peach gone? When Mario headed for Rogueport, where he knew she was waiting, and the princess was nowhere to be found!

So Mario decided to walk around town to look for her, yet he found himself in the middle of a muggy situation. Instead he ended up helping a sweet Goomba gal that was in trouble. She is Goombella, the girl claims that she is in the midst of her treasure hunting.

Goombella took Mario to see Professor Frankly, a wizened old archaeology professor and knows a lot about local legends, when Mario told her that he had a treasure map. According to Professor Frankly, they would have to find and collect first all of the seven Crystal Stars to be able to find the legendary treasure. Then that is the only time when they would be able to open the Thousand-Year Door, behind is where the treasure lays.

Fortunately, the map that Peach had sent to Mario was the very Magical Map that shows the locations of all the Crystal Stars! Then perhaps they will also find Peach upon following the Map.
What a grand adventure awaits Mario and his friends!
