Key characters
Mario
Mario runs, jumps and gains Superball attacks while exploring Sarasaland. In the Marine Pop and Sky Pop courses, his controls shift to vehicle movement and shooting, so the same adventure tests two different kinds of timing.

Princess Daisy
Daisy is the princess held by Tatanga. Earlier apparent rescues are deceptions; the real reunion follows the final aircraft battle. She is a story character rather than a selectable partner in this original single-player adventure.

Tatanga
Tatanga pilots the Pagosu craft at the end of World 4-3. Mario must survive the preceding flight and defeat Biokinton before facing this final projectile encounter and rescuing the real Princess Daisy.

Goombo
This small mushroom-shaped enemy walks along the ground and can be defeated by a stomp or Superball. It provides a simple target for practicing Mario’s landing, but approaching from the side still risks contact damage.
