One day, Mario, Luigi, Peach and Yoshi came to the Fairy's Forest in search of its fabled fairy of fortune, but Luigi got lost, causing the other three to get separated. Suddenly, a bucket landed on Mario's head, blocking his eyesight. The perpetrator was Wario, up high and out of reach in his personal plane, the Bulldog. The elusive fairy, Wanda, witnessed this crooked event and vowed to somehow reunite Mario and the team with Luigi.
