The beginning of the story.

Pauline is once more the victim of Donkey Kong's kidnapping antics at the very start of Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars this time though no motivation is given, Mario quickly gives chase with his Mini Mario toys in hopes of rescuing Pauline from the gorilla's grasp.

After traversing six puzzle filled worlds, while freeing cursed Mini Mario toys along the way, Mario catches up to Donkey Kong and Pauline in a darkened room, the lights are switched on quickly and Pauline and Donkey Kong are standing at the ready in front of a "surprise" banner with two toads to greet Mario.

Mario's surprise!

The adventure was just a game to lure Mario to a surprise party the two had organised for him (similar to the plot of Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!). At first Mario is confused, but soon shrugs it off to enjoy the fun, now surrounded by his friends, balloons and mini toys. The ruse revealed, Mario can then continue through more fun worlds and bonus levels knowing Pauline is happy and safe.
