Taking place after the first game, Bowser and his legions, the Rebel Alliance on the Forest Moon of Endor, devise a plan to take down the evil dictators of the Galaxy, Mario and his girlfriend Princess Rosalina.

However, Norton's Brother fails to actually kill him and decides to run against Bowser and Bush
