One evening, during the events of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Mario dreamed that he was ascending a staircase leading to a door. The door opened and he looked out upon the land of dreams, [[Subcon (place)|Subcon]]. A faint voice informed him that the tyrant [[Wart]] had taken control of the land. Wart had achieved this with the help of the [[8 bits]] and by casting a spell upon the majority of those who lived in Subcon that placed them under Warts control. Additionally, he created the [[Nightmare Machine]], a device that created additional monsters. Just after the voice mentioned that Wart hated [[Vegetable]]s, a bolt of lightning flashed in front of Mario, and he lost his footing. As Mario fell, he woke up in his bed.

The hero could not clear his head of the dream, so he decided to talk to Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad about it. They decided to go on a picnic together on a nearby mountain. Once there, they discovered a cave and went exploring. Inside the cave was a staircase resembling the one in Mario's dream. The four climbed up to find a door resembling the one in Mario's dream. Fearful, they opened the door and entered Subcon.

Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad set out to free the captive world. Mario was the most balanced of his friends in terms of abilities: he is second most powerful, second fastest, and second highest jumper. Together, the team traversed the seven worlds of Subcon, toppling Wart's generals as they went. Their enemies could not be defeated using their traditional jump. Instead, they had to pick up Vegetables, pieces of the environment, or other enemies and throw them at enemies to defeat them. They encountered [[Birdo]] the most of all the generals, as she held the [[Crystal Ball]]s that could open each of the [[Hawkmouth]]s, doorways to the next part of each world. The doorway to each new world was protected by one of Warts generals. [[Mouser]], [[Tryclyde]], and [[Fryguy]], members of Bowser's [[Koopa Pack]] in ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', now worked for Wart. Finally, the four heroes reached the sky, where Wart had built his massive castle. They fought their way to the Nightmare Machine chamber and cornered Wart. There, he fought the heroes. Remembering the faint voice's last words, they tossed Vegetables into Warts mouth, defeating him.

The heroes opened a [[vase]] which was being used as a prison for the [[Subcon (species)|Subcon]] and freed Wart's captives. With Wart's reign ended, the spell was broken and peace was restored. A celebration was held in the four heroes honor, and suddenly, Mario woke up. This time, he was not disturbed by his dream, soon went peacefully back to sleep.
