IMPORTANT LEGAL INFORMATION

CAUTION – Motion Sickness WARNING – Repetitive Motion Injuries and Eyestrain WARNING – SeizuresPrologue Every hundred years, a huge comet flies by in the skies above the Mushroom Kingdom. One year, that comet filled the entire sky, and from it fell a stream of shooting stars. The Toads scooped up the Star Bits and brought them to the castle, where they were reborn as a great Power Star. It was a happy time in the Mushroom Kingdom. Then one night Mario received a letter... Rosalina This keeper of the Comet Observatory oats through the cosmos with curious star creatures, called Lumas. Her past is shrouded in mystery. Lumas Many different types of Lumas live throughout the cosmos. They love Star Bits, the glittering chunks of stars that are scattered throughout the universe. Polari This elderly Luma is Rosalina’s most trusted advisor. He knows all about the observatory, and if you speak to him, he will show you a map. Dear Mario, I’ll be waiting for you at the castle on the night of the Star Festival. There’s something I’d like to give you. From Peach With invitation in hand, Mario headed off to the castle just as the Star Festival was getting into full swing. Surrounded by Toads gleefully trying to catch falling Star Bits, Mario was looking forward to the night’s festivities. But then, something happened...
