Story
Toad has been abducted by aliens! Now, with the help of a Purplian alien named Cappy that gives him the ability to attack with an electric aura, he must defeat the evil King Purplius!
Gameplay
The game plays similarly to the Mario platformers, but uses a four-chunk health system instead of power-ups. Cappy gives Toad the ability to create a deadly aura around him, which can attack most enemies and trigger switches. Like in Super Mario Bros 2, Toad can jump higher when ducking. Throughout the levels, Toad can collect Data Discs, which hold data of various characters in the game.
