Mario had a strange dream.
He dreamt of a long, long stairway leading up to a door. As soon as the door opened, he was confronted with a world he had never seen before spreading out as far as his eyes could see.
When he strained his ears to listen, he heard a faint voice saying "Welcome to 'Subcon', the land of dreams. We have been cursed by Wart and we are completely under his evil spell. We have been awaiting your arrival. Please defeat Wart and return Subcon to its natural state. The curse Wart has put on you in the real world will not have any effect upon you here. Remember, Wart hates vegetables. Please help us!"
At the same this was heard, a bolt of lightning flashed before Mario's eyes. Stunned, Mario lost his footing and tumbled upside down. He woke with a start to find himself sitting up in his bed.
To clear his head, Mario talked to Luigi, Toad, and the Princess about the strange dream he had. They decided to go to a nearby mountain for a picnic. After arriving at the picnic area and looking at the scenery, they see a small cave nearby.
When they enter this cave, to their great surprise, there's a stairway leading up, up and up. It is exactly like the one Mario saw in his dream. They all walk together up the stairs and at the top, find a door just like the one in Mario's dream.
When Mario and his friends, in fear, open the door, to their surprise, the world that he saw in his dream spreads out before them!....

The lights came on, shining bright on the stage. The crowd clapped and cheered, and the curtains were raised. There stood four actors, ready and willing to play whatever the audience demanded.
Mario! Average jumping power in almost all situations. But, the height he can jump decreases a little when he is carrying an item.
Luigi! He can jump the highest and can go much farther but he jumps slowly. When he has an item, his power decreases more than Mario.
Toad! He has the least jumping power. But since he has lifting power, the height he can jump and the speed he can run does not change even if he is carrying an item.
Princess Toadstool! She is No.3 in jumping power.
