Mario: Plumbers log number 2001. We had heard that Koopa was running amuck in Roboland, and we had come to save the day.

Mario and the gang are running down a path through a futuristic city. Bullet Bills are being fired at them from behind.

Mario: But now, we were just trying to save ourselves!

Toad: Mario! Jump for your life!

Mario: Thanks, pisono! Come on gang! This way!

The group runs into the doorway of a building and stops.

Luigi: Holy macaroni! Did you see that? It’s a metal monster shooting Bullet Bills!

Princess: I wonder why it’s chasing us?

Princess looks around the side of the doorway to see King Koopa in a robot suit with lots of buttons on his chest.

Koopa: Heh heh heh! Because it’s me, you little fungus queen! I am the mighty Robo-Koopa! Half Koopa, half machine!

Koopa punches an odd blue structure, causing it to collapse.

Koopa: Built for destruction! And I’m going to destroy you miserable little meddlers!

Koopa starts fumbling with the buttons on his chest.

Koopa: Grah! Where is that "destroy you miserable little meddlers" button?

Princess: Let’s get out of here while we still have the chance!

A chase scene starts.

Luigi: Koopa was scary enough when he was just a slimy reptile.

Koopa: You’ll never escape from me, you puny faucet heads!

Koopa starts firing Bullet Bills out of his arm at the Marios.

Koopa: Take this you goofballs!

Toad: Hit the deck! It’s a Bullet Bill!

The Marios all duck. The Bills sail right over them.

Mario: Sorry to disappoint you, bullet breath!

Koopa: The fun's not over yet! I’ve got super vision, super hearing, super strength, and yes, even…

Two guns come out of Koopa’s feet.

Koopa: ... super toes!

Mario: Watch it, gang! His toes are loaded!

Koopa: And each one of my little piggies is gonna blast ya!

???: Not if I can help it!

A robotic arm comes out of a nearby hole and presses all of Robo-Koopa’s buttons at once.

???: That should mess him up for a while!

Koopa’s suit starts going haywire.

Koopa: Help! Hey! Stop! What’s going on here? How do you stop this thing?!

Robo-Koopa’s feet fire three bombs at a building, destroying it. Koopa’s suit starts running backwards.

Koopa: Robo-Koopa will be back to get you for this!

A head that looks like a female robot's pops out of the hole. She has what looks like a trash can lid on her head.

???: Princess Toadstool! It’s me! Bunsun! You made it!

Princess: Just barely. Thanks for helping us!

Bunsun: No time for thanks! We’ve got to get out of here before Robo-Koopa finds out what I did to his controls! Down this way!

Bunsun grabs Luigi and pulls him down the hole.

Luigi: Hey, you crazy robot!

The others jump down after them. They all slide down the long metal tunnel.

Princess: So Koopa tricked the genius inventor, Dr. Nerdnick, into building him the robo suit?

Bunsun: He sure did! That Koopa is a stinker!

Toad: You can say that again.

All: That Koopa is a stinker!

The group lands at the bottom of a ladder leading up. Mario, Luigi, Princess, and Bunsun start to climb it while Toad stands at the bottom.

Toad: So, what are we gonna do about that Robo-stinker?

Mario: Since Dr. Nerdnick built Robo-Koopa-

Bunsun: He’s the only one who might know how to stop it!

Bunsun’s arm reaches down and grabs Toad.

Bunsun: We’ve got a stinker to stop!

The gang pops up in a vent and looks out of a grate into a robot lab.

Bunsun: Our problem is Robo-Koopa’s got Dr. Nerdnick prisoner.

The camera pans over to the doc, who is manacled to a metal bed. He’s wearing a pair of glasses and has a white mustache and hair.

Toad: THIS is the man who was gonna stop Koopa?

Bunsun: You don’t judge a genius by his lab coat.

Mario: Look! Robo-Koopa’s got Dr. Nerdnick heavily guarded!

Shy Guys are marching around the room.

Luigi: Macaroni misery! It’s hopeless! Well, at least we tried.

Luigi starts to run away, but Mario grabs him by the shirt.

Princess: We’ve got to save Nerdnick, Luigi, or we’ll never stop Robo-Koopa!

Luigi: I know I’m gonna regret this, but let’s get ‘em!

Mario and Luigi bust through the grate and charge the Shy Guys.

Mario: Pasta power!

Mario jumps on top of one.

Princess: Quick, Bunsun! Free Dr. Nerdnick!

Bunsun runs over to the doc and starts zapping the fastenings with her finger.

Dr. Nerdnick: Mamble damble V-squared Y-squared Koopa Robo ganna wanna shwortz!

Bunsun: I’m glad to see you to, Doc! That did it! Let’s go!

Bunsun takes the doc to the vent, where he climbs in. As Bunsun helps him, a Shy Guy dives at her. She bumps it out of the way, sending it flying into Luigi, who is helping the others hold another Shy Guy down. Luigi goes flying into a pair of glass doors, alerting a pair of Robot Troopas of their arrival.

Troopa: Ah! It’s the Marios!

The glass doors open, allowing the Troopas to attack.

Troopa: (to other Troopa) Let’s Robo Koopalize ‘em!

Toad: Oh yeah?!

Toad and Mario fly kick the Troopas.

Toad: No robot’s a match for the mighty mushroom of might!

Suddenly, Robo-Koopa stomps in.

Toad: Uh oh! We got robo trouble!

Koopa fumbles with the buttons on his chest again.

Koopa: Grah! Where is that button?

Dr. Nerdnick: Niggle wiggle maga button lefty angle porter.

Bunsun: The button on the left? What about it?

Koopa: That’s the button!

Koopa shoots a colorful beam out of his finger. It hits Toad and traps him in an energy sphere.

Toad: OH NO!!!

Koopa: Thank you, Doctor! You’re all mine, mushroom! And the pretty little princess to!

Koopa fires another beam, trapping Princess as well.

Princess: Help! Mario! Luigi!

Mario starts to run to the princess, but Luigi grabs his arm and stops him.

Koopa: They can’t help you!

Toad: Look out, guys!

Robo-Koopa fires his beam at them, but they escape into the vent.

Koopa: (to the Troopas) Take the princess and this measly mushroom prisoner! I’ve got Marios to mash!

Koopa crashes through the wall after the plumbers and scientists. He chases them along a roadway suspended in the air. The Mario Bros., Bunsun, and Dr. Nerdnick take off at a good speed and get ahead of Koopa. They stop to find out what to do next.

Mario: Dr. Nerdnick, how do we stop Robo-Koopa?

Dr. Nerdnick: Mamba tamba south deh granken musting!

Bunsun: He says you can’t.

Luigi: Oh brother!

Koopa catches up to them. He runs onto a path across from the plumbers and starts to push a large electric tower over.

Koopa: You pipesqueaks are gonna get a charge out of this!

The tower begins to fall toward them.

Luigi: We’re doomed!

Mario: Doomed schmoomed. It’s plumbing time, Luigi!

Mario and Luigi run up to a nearby fire hydrant and start working on in it like crazy. When they finish, they’ve attached a crooked pipe. Luigi unscrews the water valve and water shoots up out of the pipe, causing the tower to stop moving.

Dr. Nerdnick: Snaggle me gaggle maggle stag faggle gaggle!

Bunsun: He says electricity and water don’t mix! Get out of there before you get electrocuted!

The Marios and scientists run toward a pipe.

Bunsun: Quick! Down this way!

Koopa runs after them, but they’ve already dived into the pipe.

Koopa: That’s right, you plumb scum! Hide in the sewer! I still have the princess!

Koopa stomps around, causing the pipe on the hydrant to fall off. The tower falls on top of Koopa. Koopa then gets electrocuted.

Koopa: AAHHH!!! I’M GONNA GET THOSE PLUMBERS!!!

Meanwhile, the Mario Bros. are in a junkyard.

Luigi: Robo-Koopa’s got the princess and Toad, and we’re hiding out in a junkyard!

Mario: Yeah! Why’d Dr. Nerdnick bring us to this old place anyway?

The doc shows up with a wheelbarrow of metal parts.

Dr. Nerdnick: Ramble radon vortex gradon maggle mutt!

Bunsun: He says he’s going to build you two into a robot that can beat Robo-Koopa.

Mario Bros.: Us?

Dr. Nerdnick: Vandal dandle quicken meso Plumbinator!

Later, the Marios have their robot ready. It looks like a chubby metal person with toilet plungers for hands and a big M on the chest. Luigi’s face is where the belly button would be and Mario’s face is on the head.

Luigi: I knew I wasn’t going to like this!

Dr. Nerdnick says some more mumbo jumbo.

Mario: Well, it’s better then a mozzarella milkshake, professor.

The Marios practice moving around.

Mario: Watch out, Robo-Koopa! The Plumbinator is ready to rumble!

Luigi: Let’s go!

They try to walk away but they end up losing their balance and falling down.

Mario: I think we need a little more practice.

Meanwhile, in Robo-Koopa’s workshop, the princess and Toad are chained to the ceiling.

Princess: The Marios are going to come back and foil your plot, Robo-Koopa!

Koopa: Let them come! Two puny plumbers don’t have a chance against an invincible machine like me!

Troopa: Your metalness! Your metalness! It’s the Marios! Come quick!

Meanwhile, Plumbinator is standing on a bridge outside Koopa’s workshop.

Mario: Where is Robo-Koopa anyway?

A telescope comes out of the chest and goes to Mario’s eye.

Mario: He’s probably afraid to face us!

Mario sees Robo-Koopa glaring at them through the telescope.

Mario: Then again, maybe not.

Koopa: If it isn’t Robo-Rooter! Ha!

Mario: Quit laughing and fight, Koopa! And may the best machine win!

Koopa shoots some bomb plants out of his toes, but Mario hits them back with a fly swatter that comes out of his chest. Koopa jumps over the explosion. Then he charges at them. The Plumbinator jumps over Robo-Koopa and he goes crashing into a wall. A cannon comes out of Plumbinator’s head, shooting eggs at Koopa.

Bunsun: Yeah! All right! Way to go!

Koopa’s chest opens and a lasso flies out, lassoing the Marios. Koopa starts to pull them to him, but Luigi pulls out a pair of scissors and cuts the rope. Koopa falls backwards, but grabs a metal rod hanging overhead. He throws the rod at them. The Marios jump over it and land on the roof of a building. A rocket comes out of Robo-Koopa’s back and he flies up to the roof after them. The Marios try to run, but Koopa knocks into them. They fall off the roof into a plaza below. Mario climbs out of the now broken suit and runs with Robo-Koopa right on his heels. Luigi crawls out stunned. Mario catches up with Bunsun and Dr. Nerdnick and they all run away, but a net comes out of Robo-Koopa’s and scoops up the doc.

Koopa: Ha! One more step from any of you, and this little professor here gets squashed!

Mario: Let him go, Koopa! I’m the one you want!

Koopa: I want you all!

Dr. Nerdnick: Wift wham safety wafety!

Koopa: What did you say?

Bunsun: He says we don’t have to worry because your suit is about run out of fuel unless you press the big red button on your chest.

Koopa: Thank you again, nerdy baby! Push this button, and…

Koopa suddenly flies out of the robo suit and into the sky.

Koopa: OH NO!!!

Mario: Wow! What happened?

Dr. N: Heh heh! Ippsy dippsy fool his goose!

Bunsun: The red button was for the ejector seat!

Later, the gang is back in Koopa’s workshop standing around the robo suit.

Dr. Nerdnick: Foosh thee mutton granken Mario Brothers!

Bunsun: Mario, he says this a present for you and Luigi!

Mario: Thanks doc, but I agree with Luigi. This robo stuff is to dangerous.

Dr. Nerdnick: Overloing develepmen switzer!

Bunsun: He says he agrees. That’s why he’s converted into…

Bunsun opens the chest of the suit to show three pizzas cooking inside.

Bunsun: ... a Robo-pizza oven!

Everybody laughs. Mario gives his famous peace sign before it fades to black.
