| - The Story revolves around a mysterious shrine which has been unearthed in the basement of Princess Peaches Castle. Toadsworth instructs Mario to take a look around the town for information, when he notices a Portal connected to Green Green Island. After managing to escape with a Comet Medal and a Comet Star, Mario notices another portal open and heads straight back to the castle to tell the Princess. Peach asks Mario to continue exploring the the portals, as she senses a powerful energy coming from the Comet Star. After collecting 12 Comet Stars, Bowser attacks Toad Town, abducts the princess and steals all of Marios collected Comet Stars. Mario launches an attack alongside the Mushroom Air Forces on Bowsers Fleet, and manages to reclaim his Comet Stars, as well as a Meteor Star, but fails to rescue the Princess. Bowser laughs and says that he already has enough Comet Stars to create his perfect universe. Toadsworth tells Mario that a very large portal has opened in the shrine in the Castle. Professor Toadbert theorizes the Meteor Star has the power to open large portals like the one in the shrine, and that the collective power of Comet Stars are able to activate other portals, or that the portals were created to respond to particular stars. Mario then sets out to find as many Comet and Meteor Stars as possible to prevent Bowser from carrying out whatever plans he has in store. Mario continues through different worlds and stages, collecting more Comet and Meteor Stars while gradually finding out more about Bowsers plan, which is to create his own perfect universe. It also becomes clear due to the enemies Mario faces, that Bowser is not alone. In the Bowsarctic, Mario defeats Bowser and learns that, by chasing him and opening paths between worlds (which are revealed to be the same place, but in a alternate universe, explaining why the portals between them are in the same place in each world), Mario has weakened the barriers between them. Bowser claims to be using the power from the space between universes to make his own. Bowser also claims that it's already too late for Mario to stop him, and that he already has enough Void Power; he does however insist that Mario should try. Toadsworth orders that Mario quit his journey to prevent Bowser from getting more Void Power, but Professor Toadbert points out that Bowser already has more than he needs, and that continuing the journey is the only hope of stopping him. Mario continues onward. While recovering the Meteor Star in Bowser's Music Factory, Mario encounters Bowser's second in command who has been supplying him with troops, the Symphony Master. In this battle, the musical mastermind demonstrates power that appears to surpass Bowser. After the brief fight, the Symphony Master appears to willingly give Mario the Meteor Star.
