Come on! You knew it was coming!
If you couldn't tell, Mario is missing. Bowser has kidnapped him and taken him to his lair in Antarctica. Even worse...it's an educational game just like Mario's Time Machine. This is going to get worse before it comes anywhere near getting better.
Anyway, Luigi enters Bowser's castle in an attempt to find Mario. Unbeknownst to him, pipes in the castle lead to elsewhere in the world.
When you enter the castle, you'll find a few doors that you can open to find pipes. Green pipes are areas you haven't covered fully, while red pipes signify completed areas.
When you enter a city, you'll get a datafax. When you select it, you'll get a message from the mayor of the city telling you to help them defeat the Koopas and get their landmarks back. Only thing is, the mayor won't even tell you what city you're in. By talking to people, you'll be able to get clues as to where you are.
The square in the upper center of the screen is your command, and you can scramble between three of them.
The black ? on the white background lets you ask people and item booth attendants questions when you select it.
The picture of Yoshi walking on the globe is the map screen. When you know where you are, select this to send Yoshi to wherever you are...or at least try to. If you pick the wrong location, Yoshi won't be there. If you're correct, however, Yoshi will instantly appear and you'll automatically be riding on his back. Riding Yoshi makes you much faster and also allows you to return to the beginning and take the pipe back down to Bowser's castle.
The simple picture of Luigi on the ground is the map for the current street you're in. There, you can see if there are any Koopas on the same street as you. If you're riding Yoshi, this map will show you riding Yoshi. Selecting this lets you see the entire city map.
The bag of loot is the slot for your collected landmarks. Select this to choose which landmark you want to return.
The Radical Datafax machine lets you re-read clues again.
Usually you'll be able to find out where you are just by looking at the map or by listening to the music. For instance, you can clearly tell by the Statue of Liberty in the map screen that you're in New York City. If you're still not sure, you're going to have to talk to people. Talking to people will not only help you figure out where you are, but also about what you're holding as well as where it should go.
When you find a Koopa, simply stomp square on its head, then press Down to pick up the loot. From there, you'll have to return it to its rightful place. Again, consult the map screen. You'll get a good sense of how busted the collision detection on the Koopas are when you try to jump on them, as you'll sometimes fall clear through them.
The red course dots signify intersections where you can cross the street. The blue circles with the "i" in them are the info booths where you return the loot. The Koopas signify Koopas that haven't been killed yet, and the pipes signify pipes you can go down to return to Bowser's castle, assuming you're riding Yoshi.
You'll have to stand in the middle of the road to go up and down to intersecting roads and get around.
If you're not sure which landmark goes to which item booth (the game does assign specific places to return the landmarks), simply consult the map and look near the info booth locations. You'll be able to determine what goes where from there. You can also talk at the info booths. If you don't have it, they'll tell you what loot you're missing.
Also, the Angry Video Game Nerd wasn't lying when he said that King Kong is bigger than the Empire State Building in this game, because the picture for him seems to clearly state that he was.
Whenever you attempt to return a landmark, you'll be asked one of three questions about it. The questions will be in their own little sections.
When you complete a level and stand on an exit pipe while riding Yoshi, you'll be able to get a password to save your progress. Jot it down so you can continue your game in case you can't complete it in one sitting.
When you complete both areas behind a door in Bowser's castle, that door will be locked and you won't be able to go back in there. This makes it a little easier to keep track of how much of the game you've completed.
