Prologue (SMG)

Prologue
At the beginning, a storybook-like beginning appears. "Every 100 years, a comet appears in the skies above the Mushroom Kingdom. The comet was so large one year, it filled the skies and sent countless shooting stars raining down. The toads brought the shooting stars to the castle, where they became a great Power Star. It should have been a very happy time for the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom. That was the night of the Star Festival, help once every 100 years to celebrate the comet."

Then, Princess Peach gives a letter to Mario, saying, "Dear Mario, I'll be waiting for you at the castle on the night of the Star Festival. There's something I'd like to give you. From Peach. Mario happily goes to Peach's Castle, while he finds some Toads to talk to, and a lot of Star Bits raining down. While Mario is heading there, Bowser's airships attack Toad Town next to the castle, bringing down a building or 2. While Mario tries to not get hit, he notices that Bowser is coming to get Princess Peach's castle to kidnap her. Once he reaches up to her, he says, "Princess Peach! You are formally invited to the creation of my new galaxy!"

Both of the Toad Guards get scared of him, and Princess Peach tries to protect a Luma, while Bowser says, "The festival's over!", while summoning a UFO. After that, there's a big close up on Peach's eye, showing the reflection of the UFO. Mario rushes to the castle, but once he get on the bridge, the UFO shoots a laser, separating Peach's castle from the ground, lifting it up into space. Mario still manages to stay, but Magikoopa comes and says, "So long! Enjoy your flight!". And Mario is blasted out, while Peach's castle gets teleported to the center of the universe.
