It so happened that one fell close to Mario. The next day, Mario tells his friends what he found. It’s a Sky Crystal! Just at that moment, an invitation from Bowser arrives: “Hey chumps! I’m throwing a Big Bowser Bash to apologise for being such a big jerk. So I’ve got a buffet of free grub laid out for all of you. Come ’n’ get it! – Bowser.” The Mario crew head to the bash at Bowser’s castle and find mountains of delicious food. Free eats can’t be beat! Is it too good to be true? Of course it is! It turns out to be a trap... Bowser shrinks Mario and pals using his powerful new Minimizer wand and grabs Mario’s Sky Crystal. Shrunken down and flung far away to the end of the world, it looks like a complete mess for the Mario crew! Our tiny heroes must find the other Sky Crystals, beat Bowser, and return to normal! They are about to set out on their big adven- ture to bring Bowser down... 5 Characters Peach Mario Daisy Luigi Yoshi Wario Waluigi Toad 6 7 Basic Touch Screen Operation Getting Started There are two ways of using the stylus to perform basic operations.
