In the original game the story would start with the introduction of the Shroob Planet with some intro text. In this rewrite this would happen the same way with the intro going like this:
Once upon a distant time... way far out in space... in a dark dank place, shunned by starlight... there was this creepy planet, floating alone...
The beings of this world were... creepy. They spent their time staring creepily into space. Just creepy daydreamers, right? Wrong. They were searching, searching for a new home.
At last, they fixed their creepy gazes on another world. A world that was full of beauty and peace... A sinister laugh can be heard after which the screen slowly turns black.
We then cut to Baby Mario and Baby Luigi who just arrived at Baby Peach's Castle. They're being greeted by a young Toadsworth and he says the following:"Oho! Young Masters Mario and Luigi! I've anxiously awaited your arrival! Yes, indeed, the princess craves playmates, I'm afraid. She's rather... tantrummy. Press up on + to walk to the room where she awaits. Please go to her at once!"
You head to the throne room. In there, the Babies find several Toads unconscious laying on the floor. The princess is nowhere to be seen. Toadsworth comes looking and says shocked:"I say. What's this hullabaloo? What of the princess?" Suddenly, someone laughs evilly. Then, the game introduces you Baby Bowser. He says: "Bwah ha ha ha! I, Prince Bowser, am taking Princess Peach with me! You two babies can scram!" Toadsworth then stands in front of the foe and says: "Absolute nonsense! I rather think that you will do NO SUCH THING! EN GARDE!" Baby Bowser then sets Toadsworth on fire after which the latter faints. Baby Bowser laughs. Now Baby Mario goes to face him. Baby Bowser turns to him and yells: "You're next, Super Diaper Bro!"
Baby Bowser attacks you and your very first battle starts. This will happen the exact same way as it did in the original game. (Whenever a battle happens, I won't describe it (as that would take up too long). Instead, I will mention all of the changes and (new) attacks an enemy or a boss may have.)
You defeat Baby Bowser and he says: "I'm... I'm a PRINCE! I can't lose to you! Bluuuuuuurgh!" Baby Mario and Baby Luigi start to cheer, because of their victory. Suddenly, the whole castle starts to rumble and a strange light, along with an ominous sound, shines through the windows. Then, the rumbling stops for a moment, but then it starts again, this time múch stronger. You then see that outside: strange purple looking UFOs are attacking the castle. The clouds vanish and you see hundreds, maybe thousands of those same UFOs, ready to do what they came here to do. Then the screen turns black.

(I know that this first chapter has almost no changes compared to the original game, but that is because I think that the start is already solid as it is. It has a sinister introduction of a new enemy and you learn the basics of battling (plus: the tutorials are optional to listen to). So while this first chapter was barely changed, the next one will have drastic changes, I can assure that. It will be uploaded when it's done. If you happen to have feedback on what you would do differently, I'd love to know!)
