Baby Luigi

Luigi is an Italian-American who is born with a twin brother named Mario.

The two babies are being delivered by stork to their parents in New York City, when the stork is attacked by a magikoopa named Kamek.

Baby Luigi is kidnapped, while baby Mario falls down to Yoshi Island.

The Yoshis then set out to defeat Kamek, reunite the twins, and make sure the babies are delivered to their parents.

However, it turns out the babies are delivered to the wrong parents, and the Yoshis have to make sure they are delivered to the correct parents.
