Plot
The story begins with five Sky Crystals falling onto Earth. Mario finds one of them and then shows it to all of his friends/allies. Just then, Kamek flys past dropping party invitations. Bowser sent the invitations to the whole crew inviting them to a feast at his castle as an apology for all his nasty deeds. They're suspicious, but everyone goes to Bowser's castle. Much to their dismay, it is a trap and Bowser steals a Sky Crystal. Using his new "Minimizer", he shrinks everyone. Mario and his friends find themselves tiny in a very big world.
Bowser wants to find the four other Sky Crystals without Mario and his crew in the way, and so he flings them to the far side of the kingdom.
The crew travels to Bowser's Castle, far away while defeating a Piranha Plant in Wiggler's garden, stopping a Hammer Bro. from ruining Toadette's instruments, helping Diddy Kong free DK after being turned to stone by a Dry Bones, and freeing a Koopa's grandpa who's been trapped in a book by Kamek. Each of them gives a Sky Crystal to thank Mario and his crew. Once the friends make it to the castle, Bowser traps everyone inside his pinball machine and prepares once again to use his Minimizer. Luckily, DK and Diddy received the invitation too, and have made it to the castle in time. While looking for the food, DK bumps into Bowser and breaks the Minimizer in half, returning Mario and friends to their rightful size. However, Bowser reveals his new "Megamorph Belt" and challenges the superstar. After Bowser is defeated, the crew takes back the stolen Sky Crystal and puts it with the others. The crystals combine into a new game and Bowser is meaner now because the crystals were part of a castle legend. But in a surprising move, the Mario and crew invite Bowser and Bowser Jr. to play with them. They accept, and now everyone is happy, including DK and Diddy, who have eaten the entire buffet.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“The westward march has stopped, upon the final plains of the Pacific; and now the plot thickens ... with the change, the pause, the settlement, our people draw into closer groups, stand face to face, to know each other and be known.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
