1985 - Mario and Luigi, while plumbing away, "found a secret warp zone while working on a drain" (SUPER MARIO BROS. SUPER SHOW).

1988 - Mario and Luigi return to the Mushroom Kingdom. One night, Mario dreams about an enslaved land called Sub-Con. Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool (still red-headed), and the loyal Toad (a mushroom retainer...what is a "retainer" anyway?) stop the evil toad/frog Wart...only to find out that the four had fought the battle in their dreams.

1989 - Mario challenges Luigi to a friendly game of Tetris.

Unfortunatly, an evil anti-plumber named Wario, a long-time enemy of Mario's since childhood (interesting, since Mario grew up in Brooklyn and War is just a yellow weirdo), took over Marioland before Mario arrived. The Mushrooms were hypnotized, and a bunch of Mario-hating Koopa Troopas, Goomba, Piranha Plants, etc. came to fight Mario. Mario won, yet again, and takes control of his own tiny kingdom.
