Walkthrough: As the story begins, Mario and Bowser will again be locked in another fierce struggle. This time, however, Bowser will be found in an all-white tuxedo. He has again captured Princess Peach, this time on his very own airship, and he is attempting to to trap her within a forced marriage. And, of course, Mario is there to stop Bowser. But Bowser has the upper hand this time around, in the form of a hat no less.
As Bowser blindsides Mario with this hat that possesses unique powers of its own, Mario will actually be knocked straight off the aircraft as a whole. Mario will fall to the unknown parts of the world below, as his trademark cap is shredded to bits. His hat seems lost forever, that is until the scraps are actually caught by a onlooking civilian.
