Synopsis
Celebrating another victory against Bowser; Mario, Peach, Luigi and Blue Toad head to the Garden of Peach's Castle to have relaxing break in the spring breeze, however upon arriving they find a bunch of toads surrounding a giant mysterious fountain not previously there. The Toads make way for the four heroes who look into the Fountain to see it has a mysterious crystal fog covering the top layer. Peach looks closely through the fog and sees a Princess on the other side in some sort of a panic who is grabbed by an ominous figure before disappearing. Peach tries to grab for the other princess however falls into the Fountain revealing it to be a portal, Mario quickly follows as does the Blue Toad while Luigi once again hesistates due to fear although after a Yellow Toad slaps some sense into him he quickly follows his brother, the princess and Blue Toad into the fountain which leads to a mysterious land.

Gameplay
The game is broken up into a explorative hub world which unlike Super Mario 3D World doesn't have distinct levels although does use the classic Level format for its locations. Instead the player is able to enter levels in random orders for each location slowly progressing through the game. Although every level has more than just get to the end objectives. In addition the player will find Purple Diamonds located in each level which are necessary to unlock secret levels as well as form into Crimson Diamonds to unlock new levels. These Crimson Diamonds are also received from completing a level normally. In addition the player may encounter a Mirror Door which will challenge the player to beat a Shadow Clone of them in an obstacle course race while collecting Red Coins.

The Game for the main part has the player progressing through levels completing various tasks that are centered around collecting the Crimson Diamonds to save the mysterious princess of this world. The player will like any Mario Game have to run and jump as well as potentially defeat enemies to find secrets or simply progress through a level. The game also features a complete new line of Power-Ups although some are intentionally similar to older power-ups to make them not so foreign to experienced players.

Power-Ups
There are a variety of Power-Ups available in Super Mario Bros. Fantasia. All of which are new as the game focuses on the new location and the bizarre way that Mario and the group must adapt to being completely foreign to this land. As such there are no returning powerups including the Super Mushroom, Fire Flower and Starman and as such everyone remains looking like their Super Mushroom forms although the ratio seems to be vaguely shorter.

Trivia

 * This is the first Super Mario game that features conventional power-ups but not the Fire Flower or Super Mushroom
 * The Crimson Diamonds seem to share an identical function to the Grand Stars in the Super Mario Galaxy Games while the Purple Diamonds seem to share an identical function to Star Coins/Dragon Coins from older Mario Games
 * Some Levels can be accessed from different points not only changing what path the player will take but potentially leading to another level entirely
 * This is actually made use of in the final level in which the player can fight the final boss in two ways depending on which route they took
 * The secret Choffice Cave in the level, Emerald Mountains is a reference to the Secret Moblin from the Legend of Zelda Series, a running gag in the latter franchise, the Choffice in the cave even states the phrase "It's a secret to everybody" before handing the player a Crimson Diamond
