As well as in the previous games of a series the main character — the plumber Mario. The villain king Kupa kidnaps the princess Toadstul and imprisons Yosha's dinosaur in egg. Mario releases Yosha and astride it goes to the lock of the king Kupy to rescue the princess. Enemies on the way are turtles, battleships and other animals. Interestingly that in game there is no enemy (separately from an armor) without abilities which is destroyed by a usual jump of Mario from one blow (For example, the bat is killed Mario from one blow, but it is activated if Mario approached it close, and flies on a curve trajectory.)
The gameplay suffered big changes. Opportunity to use Yosha as a vehicle and its fighting abilities (for example, eating of opponents) became the main innovation. Now Mario can pass the same level twice that wasn't in the previous game. Also, Mario has a spare subject - the subject which is in the top part of the screen in a special small square. Also Mario can collect on 1,3 and 5 lives from one jump. Now, to get to confidential something, it is necessary to take a key and to thrust it into the special lock. At game there is a large number of the hidden secrets, such as reductions of a way, bonus levels etc. In total in game of 74 game zones and 96 exits from them (game adopted reception at the previous Super Mario Bros. 3 and game level it is possible to pass in several ways).
