| - Mario recieves a letter from Princess Peach: Mario goes to the castle, only to find that a HUGE airship is coming out of the clouds. Bowser is seen in it yelling that Mario is a goner. Massive cannonballs come out of the airship. One hits Mario. All of a sudden, he is surrounded by a white light. This is too much for Mario, and he faints. When he comes to, he sees a red Toad looking down at him. The Toad says that he is on the Starshroom, the ship of the Toad Brigade. If you have played the original SMG, you should know the Toad Brigade. They are in space. The Captain explains that he used the Starshroom's tractor beam to grab Mario and got into space before the ship could be destroyed. The Captain says they need Power Stars to go very far, but they have enough power to go to a galaxy near Mario's planet. This galaxy has Power Stars that they can use to get to other Stars, until they reach the spot where Bowser is building a weapon strong enough to annhilate entire planets instantly. The good Captain also mentions that he lost his hat in the launch and doesn't know where it is. You will find the hat (you know the one) in a certain galaxy as you progress through the game. You now enter the inside of the Starshroom via porthole, and press A when prompted by going near the front control panel (the Captain will be facing that direction). The Starshroom is exactly the way it was in SMG1, and as a result is very cramped and there isn't much to explore. So go, man, go!
