The royal ruler has been transformed into a hideous reptile by black magic. Here, Mario and Luigi have to survive against the deadly jaws of greedy carnivorous plants, Spiny's Eggs, coral reefs, and the hammer-wielding Hammer Brothers. There are 11 areas of difficulty to cover.Įverything is double its size in Big Island, the fourth world. Mario and Luigi must clear the course of its obstacles before the ruler can change back from a slimy, old toad to his royal highness. The third world is a watery adventure in Ocean Side, where the brothers are surrounded by deadly Spiny's Eggs, poison-spitting Lotus flowers, and lurking hungry giant fishes. The ruler of Desert Hill has been turned into an ugly spider. The brothers have to fend off fireball-spitting piranha plants, the menacing killer sun, and flying boomerangs whizzing overhead. The second world is Desert Hill, replete with swaying date palms, pyramids, and the beat of jungle drums. Mario and Luigi have to comb eight areas to retrieve the magic wand.
The ruler has been changed by sorcery into a humble dog. The first world is the Grass Land with its lush, green terrain.
