Mary finds a sparkling flower which accidentally zips her off to a magical sky kingdom in the clouds.
The sky kingdom is run by a stereotypically evil madame who wants to get her hands on those sparkling flowers for use in her evil supervillain science experiments. She has a little Doctor Robotnik sidekick to run her experiments.
The madame kidnaps Mary's friend to try to blackmail her into giving up the flowers. Mary eats a bunch of flowers to imbue her with magic for the ensuing fights. She learns that her great aunt was once a great witch, and fighting the madame is family tradition.
Mary saves the day and throws away the remaining sparkle flowers, because you don't need magic when you have friends.
