Luigi is concerned as to how they will find her, but Mario assumes that there may be a switch somewhere. However, the lights continuously flicker on and off inside. She lands in Roy's open arms, and he takes her to his hotel, the HardBrick Hotel. Mario notices the princess on one of the branches, but it snaps underneath her. After conquering the hotel, Morton and the brothers leap out of the tree-hotel, which then sprouts fruit.

With Luigi's help, Mario is able to leap inside the hotel through a window. The brothers come across the first hotel, the Wood Door Hysteria Hotel. It also states that the princess is being held hostage in one of them, and challenges them to find her. The letter is from Bowser, who claims that he and the Koopalings have turned the Mushroom Kingdom into their personal resort and have each taken over a hotel. However, soon after arriving, Mario finds a letter on the front door to a gate, which has a board with the words "Klub Koopa Resort" on it. Mario and Luigi head to the Mushroom Kingdom after being invited to a picnic by the princess. Mario and Luigi entering the Mushroom Kingdom gates The first six hotels have ten stages, while the seventh has fifteen. Elevators are needed to travel between floors.

However, various enemies will interfere and reopen them at times. The general goal in each stage is to close all the doors on every floor. After Mario and Luigi are informed of this, they set out to rescue her. In the game's plot, Bowser and his seven Koopaling children ( Morton, Roy, Larry, Lemmy, Ludwig, Wendy, and Iggy) have taken over the Mushroom Kingdom, where they have claimed seven Koopa hotels and have kidnapped the princess, hiding her in one of them. Released in June 1994 in North America to little fanfare, the game had low sales partially due to a lack of interest in the CD-i system and received mainly poor reviews.

It was published by Royal Philips Electronics, which had acquired the rights to produce Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda games after initial plans to make a CD-ROM add-on for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System fell through.
Hotel Mario is a puzzle/platform game released on the Philips CD-i.
