Man, Nintendo needs to bring Mario back to the heights of storytelling. Ok, get this...
Peach sends Mario a letter, which takes about 1 minute to read. A green tube comes up from the ground, and Mario Jump out!!! You walk around and head up to the castle. Lakitu comes by and tells you can control the camera. You go into the castle, Bowser laughs at Mario, and toad tells him all the power stars are in the paintings.
The whole story is over in like 3 minutes.
