Story[]
After the events of Super Mario Galaxy 2, Rosalina is looking up from the Comet Observatory, when suddenly, a giant black hole appears! Rosalina tells her Lumas to escape and look for help, and they obey. As the black hole gets closer, a demented laugh is heard.
Later, Mario and Luigi are relaxing at home, looking up at the stars. Luigi points out a shooting star, which then crashes into Mario's yard! The brothers run over to it, only to find a Luma! The Luma tells them what happened, and they rush to the castle to tell Princess Peach.
When they get there, a black, white, and red Magikoopa appears. This turns out to be Magiconquerer, an old villain from the Mushroom Kingdom's past. He suddenly uses magic to lift both The Mushroom Castle AND Bowser's Castle into space.
Before he leaves, he uses more magic to know out Mario and Luigi, as well as the Luma.
When they wake up, they realize they are back on The Starship Mario. Lubba, Mario's old friend, tells them that they were transported here by some sort of magic. Mario explains what happened, and Lubba is on the crew! He sets a course for The Comet Observatory, and the crew takes off!
