Mario and Luigi hear that Princess Peach has been kidnapped (again) and go off to Bowser's Castle, only to hear that [[NotMeThisTime he didn't do it]]. At that moment, the real culprit, [[BigBad Count Bleck]], appears with Peach and declares his intent to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy all dimensions]] to replace them with [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans perfect new ones]], as foretold in the Dark Prognosticus he wields. He then takes Bowser, the Koopa Troop, and Luigi to his stronghold, Castle Bleck. Mario is left out cold until he is awoken by Tippi, a being called a Pixl in the shape of a butterfly who brings him to the town of Flipside, a place between dimensions. Here he meets Merlon, who holds the Light Prognosticus, a book created to counter the Dark Prognosticus and foretells of a group of heroes who will save existence. Meanwhile, Bleck forces a marriage between Bowser and Peach, summoning the Chaos Heart and causing a rift called The Void to appear, which Bleck plans to use to destroy all dimensions. Mario and Tippi must journey throughout dimensions and collect the Pure Hearts, which can counter the Chaos Heart, and fight Bleck and his strange team of villains -- the Secretary [[CharmPerson Nastasia]], the brutish [[ViolentGlaswegian O'Chunks]], the shapeshifting [[VoluntaryShapeshifter Mimi]], and the jester [[MonsterClown Dimentio]] -- to save the multiverse... and, in the process, figure out just ''why'' Bleck seeks to destroy everything.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Francis can be deadly if you don't take him seriously as a boss because of his character. But you just ''know'' you can't take him seriously.

* BigThinShortTrio: For around half of the game, your party consists of Mario, who is shorter than the other playable characters, Peach, who is slimmer than the other playable characters, and Bowser, who is ''much'' taller and wider than the other playable characters.



* UnlimitedWardrobe: Mimi, in one of the few video game examples of this trope. She goes through ''[[http://www.mariowiki.com/mimi#Clothing ten]]'' separate outfits in the relatively short game. Contrast the LimitedWardrobe that applies to every other character. However, she may be using her shapeshifter abilities to change her outfit.
