"Dark days on Isle Delfino!"
When Mario, Princess Peach, and her court arrive on tropic Isle Delfino for a relaxing getaway, things instantly don't go as planned. The always-sunny island is covered in an unusual darkness, and what's more, the place is covered with strange goop!
But they soon discover it's only the beginning of their troubles. When Mario is accused of causing the problem, he is sentenced to clean the entire island of the pollution - but luckily, he won't have to do it alone. Armed with his new water jet pack, an artificially intelligent machine called Fludd, Mario gets down and dirty to clean Isle Delfino and find the Shine Sprites, the mysterious guardians of the Shine Gate responsible for restoring light to the island. But while the vacation has been put on hold, other things may lurk in the shadows... such as the mysteriously Mario-esque figure with a paintbrush who seems to have a strange obsession with Princess Peach.
What was meant to be a relaxing vacation for the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom soon turns into another whirlwind adventure for Mario. Can he get to the bottom of this mess and restore the sunshine to the island - all while protecting the princess?
Based on the original Nintendo title.
