Marking the fourth entry to the Pretty Cure All Stars crossover film series, and the first installment to the New Stage trilogy, the Smile PreCure! team joins the previous Pretty Cure teams as they encounter Fusion once again, while befriending a girl named Ayumi.

Plot

In Yokohama, Fusion reappears once again and threatens the city with calamity. Then, the Pretty Cures assemble and defeats Fusion again, scattering its parts around the city. Meanwhile, a girl named Ayumi Sakagami, who admires the Pretty Cures and witnesses the battle against Fusion, is having trouble making friends at her new school. On her way back home, Ayumi meets a small creature, and decides to name it "Fū-chan". Meanwhile, the fairies: Tart, Chiffon, Chypre, Coffret, Potpurri, Hummy and Candy gather for a meeting, and notices that Fusion's scattered parts are looking to recombine, so they all go and ask their respective Pretty Cure teams to search for the fragments to prevent its return.

While searching for the fragments, Miyuki encounters the Suite PreCure teams: Hibiki, Kanade, Ellen and Ako, whom all transforms and fight the fragments. Meanwhile, Ayumi notices that people around here are disappearing, and Fū-chan admits he did this for Ayumi in case anyone makes Ayumi suffer. Then, the Smile PreCure! teams assemble and fights Fū-chan, but shocked as he's absorbing their attacks. As the Suite team arrives to assist them, Ayumi stops them from hurting him. The Cures reveal to her that Fū-chan is a fragment of Fusion, and Fū-chan runs away as he tries to make Ayumi's wish granted while destroying the city.

While accompanied by Smile and Suite teams, as well as

Fresh Pretty Cure teams, Ayumi is caught by Fusion's familiars, which in her heart's response to Fū-chan, she transforms into Cure Echo. Using the power of the Miracle Lights and aided by latter Pretty Cure teams: Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart, Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star, and Yes! PreCure 5 GoGo!
, Echo rekindles her friendship with Fū-chan. As the remaining Fusion fragments gets ready to attack Ayumi, Fū-chan sacrifices himself to give the Smile team the powers to defeat the evil side. Afterwards, Ayumi grows more confident and starts making friends with her classmates.
