SYNOPSIS


Koopa Khan (as King Koopa is calling himself this episode) has been chasing the Mario Bros. and their companions for days. After the group gets caught up in a windy storm in the Snow World, Luigi complains that he's had it with being chased from world to world and wants to return to Brooklyn , and Mario agrees with him. At this point, Koopa Khan catches up with them and chases them into a cave. Inside, Luigi stupidly pulls a switch that causes a pit to open up beneath them. Koopa Khan walks off, confident that his adversaries have been finished off.

Fortunately, the good guys land in a cavern filled with well-constructed pipes. There, they meet Salvador Drainado, a master plumber from Brooklyn who has also been trapped in the Mushroom World (for thirteen years, he claims). Drainado tells them that he has found a drainpipe that will bring him back to Brooklyn, and the Marios jump at the chance to help him find it. After helping Drainado clear away a wall blocking their path, the group crosses over a chasm where molten lava flows at the bottom. However, Koopa Khan, having learned the Mario group survived, shows up and blows up their bridge using a Bob-Omb . However, the good guys grab onto a ledge while falling down, and Mario somehow airlifts them back up by powering up with a Fire Flower .

Just as they reach the Last Drainpipe to Brooklyn, the Mario Bros. reconsider returning to Brooklyn, but Princess Toadstool insists they go. Just when they're about ready, Koopa Khan reappears and captures Toadstool and Toad . Mario immediately bolts out of the drainpipe, and Luigi goes with him, so only Drainado returns to Brooklyn. In the meantime, the Marios rescue their friends from Koopa once again.


LIVE-ACTION SEGMENT: "CHER'S POOCHIE"



Synopsis

For no given reason, Mario, Luigi, and Edison construct a Pizza Transformer right there in the basement. Just as they've finished perfecting it, Cher pops in and makes them look after her dog, Poochie. But then, through sheer stupidity and his Pizza Transformer, Mario winds up having his brain switched with Poochie's. Luigi does absolutely nothing about it until after Cher returns and faints upon discovering that her dog is talking and Mario is chasing cats. After the '' Legend Of Zelda '' preview, Luigi finally does use the Pizza Transformer to get Mario's brain back in the right body, but Poochie's brain ends up in Cher's body.
