ONCE UPON A TIME…
BEAT THE BOSSES!
The game begins with Mario running through the pages of a storybook before Peach is kidnapped by the wicked Bowser... again!
It’s not just Bowser who’s big – all the game’s brilliant bosses tower over Mario! Here are just a few that you’ll face in some truly amazing galactic encounters:
GOBBLEGUTS
DIGGA-LEG
Digga-Leg looks a bit like the original game’s Megaleg, but he’s much faster. He hops from side-to-side and sends drill creatures through the planet’s surface to attack Mario!
STARSHIP MARIO!
This huge dragon munches a hole straight through a small, round planet! But he’s been eating too much - sometimes his flabby bits get stuck in the rock…
Luckily, a magical Luma helps Mario out, with a huge planet shaped just like Mario himself, which you can actually use to fly between all the galaxies!
IT’S A FACE-SHIP!
You can warp straight to the galaxy you want to visit, but you can also explore the planet. As you get more Power Stars, you’ll even get new visitors to Starship Mario!
MEGA MALLETOID
Bowser Jr can be found inside this massive mechanical machine. Use Yoshi to fire his missiles back at him so you can pick up the Power Star!
POWERED UP!
YOSHI!
Check out the cool new power-ups that can help Mario get the Power Stars and save Peach:
It’s time to welcome back Mario’s green dino friend, Yoshi! He’s greedy for food, and that comes in really handy:
TONGUE GRAB
BLIMP FRUIT
ROCK MARIO!
Yoshi can hook onto flowers with his tongue and swing from them, or even swallow small enemies whole!
Eat this and Yoshi will inflate and turn blue. Mario grabs onto him to float up to high platforms. Just make sure you’ve landed safely before the air runs out!
Shake the remote to transform into a rolling rock! Knock enemies down like skittles or zoom up massive ramps to speed onto distant platforms. Awesome!
CLOUD MARIO!
Pick this up and three cute fluffy clouds will follow Mario around. Shake the remote in midair to create a cloud platform that you can use to cross huge gaps!

SPIN DRILL!
This device can drill through planets to the other side. Use it to surprise enemies or to reach places you wouldn’t normally be able to get to. Wa-hoo!
GLIMMER BULB BERRY
With this, a glowing yellow Yoshi can reveal platforms you can’t see. Be careful to make it across gaps – if the light fades, you’ll fall and lose a life!
BELL PEPPER
Munch one of these and Yoshi will turn red and start to run really fast! He’s hard to control this way, but he’ll let you get up steep ramps without any trouble.
