Red's Adventure
In the year 2027, an evil Mushroom king named King Shroom reigned a faraway island named Mushroom Island. When Red receives a letter from one of the islands held hostage, She along with her three siblings go to the island and stop King Shroom. When they arrive at the island, they encounter King Shroom's minions, the Nokomites. Eventually, the four are casted into the forest where they encounter a giant tree dragon. With the help of the Tree Dragon, they successfully save the island from King Shroom and return to Rainbow Island. During the process, a species of insect-like aliens named the Waspoids arrive at Planet Colos and start to infect the people of Mushroom Island. When they save the entire island from the mysterious species, the Waspoids then infect Rainbow Island's king, Terrible Termite.

Red's Shining Rainbow Adventure
When Red and her siblings returned to Rainbow island, the entire city appears to be in darkness. And before they know it, it was surrounded by unknown white goo created by the Waspoids. They then took a bit of goo and their mother Purple (who appeared to be a scientist) analyzed it and revealed that the goo created by the waspoids is modified dark matter and could only be destroyed by a rainbow stone deep in the caves. It was a long and tedious cave journey but they indeed found the stone. Eventually, they had to give it to Terrible Termite. Who refused to take the stone. So they had to do it the hard way: by throwing it at his face. When he was cured, the waspoids all flew into space and out came their queen: Queen Waspoid. By the time they flew to space, the Rainbow stone transformed into a beautiful sword.

♥Rainbow Star♥
After the fight, Red solely went to space herself to take down the monstrous threat. But in order to do so, she needs to collect the seven Rainbow Stars to do so. Her siblings often call her from the sword to see her progress. After she got all of the seven stars, she and the waspoid army got into a huge duel that Rainbow Island called "The Space Battle". After the Queen's defeat, she merges with the waspoid army to create The Waspoid-master. In the heat of the intense duel, Red successfully wins by hitting it in the eye. Causing the entire fusion to blow up. When she returned to Rainbow island, she receives terrible news that the remains of the Waspoid-master has landed on another planet: Planet Gothgoth.

Happy Wishes☆Lovely Harmonies
After receiving the terrible news, she then decides to (this time, taking her siblings) fly to planet Gothgoth to wipe the Waspoids out of existence. Though it's worse than she expected. Instead of the place itself being infected, the people turned into lifeless blobs. Except for one, a male named Gothboy. He then decides to join Red and her siblings to stop the waspoids. Eventually ended up on a faraway island named "lifeless Island". Where the source is located. Eventually, the five all learn a harmony and a wish that they called Happy Wishes and Lovely Harmonies. With the five singing the Harmonies, their wishes (portrayed by a star on their chest) begun to fire rainbow beams to the giant pillar to defeat the Waspoids, who are compressed in a pillar. Eventually, with enough patience, the pillar blew up and revealed a white light. This light reverted the effects caused by the Waspoids. The series ended with the cast of characters all taking a photo.
