Story

Mario and Luigi travel to the Mushroom Kingdom to attend a picnic Princess Peach invited them to, but instead they find a letter from Bowser. The letter tells them that Bowser and his seven Koopalings have taken over the Mushroom Kingdom and kidnapped Peach, who is being kept as a "permanent guest" at one of the seven hotels created by the Koopalings. In the end, Mario and Luigi rescue the princess after going through all the hotels.
