(The curtain rises on Desert Land and the title is shown. Open to a pyramid in Desert Land. Hip and Hop are exploring the tomb.)

Hip: This mummy tomb sure is-

Hop: Spooky!

(They enter a large burial chamber.)

Hip: We found it! And King Dad thought-

Hop: We'd mess up this heist! Old pop's gonna have to-

Hip: Eat his words!

(Hip and Hop high five each other and laugh. They walk over to a broken Dry Bones.)

(As Hip walks over the Dry Bones, they then notice that it's there and get scared. Hip jumps into Hop's arms. Hop walks backwards and crashes into a vase.)

Hip and Hop: Phew!

(A coffin starts shaking as if whatever's inside is trying to get out.)

Hop: W-w-

Hip: What was that? I'm not waiting to find out! Let's grab Prince Mushroomkhamen's gold mummy case-

Hop: And high-tail it outta here!

(They walk over to a coffin next to the one that was shaking and pick it up. They walk out of the chamber. The mummy queen that was inside the shaking coffin opens up the lid.)

Mummy: My son! They stole my son!

(The Mummy runs out of the pyramid and chases after Hip and Hop.)

Hip and Hop: Huh?

Mummy: Where's my son?

Hip and Hop: *scream* Uh oh!

(Hip and Hop carry the coffin up a few platforms and into a pipe where they hide until the mummy runs off.)

Hop: Hey Hip! Does this old prince mummy guy-

Hip: Look familiar?

(The coffin's lid is shaped like Prince Mushroomkhamen, who looks a lot like Mario.)

(Cut to Toad's House. Mario is resting in bed.)

Princess: Sure is nice to relax after a rough adventure!

Mario: Yeah, I'm so tired, nothing could drag me out of this bed!

(A Mushroom boy runs through the front door.)

Boy: There's a mad mummy loose in Desert Land!

Mario: We better get that mummy back where it belongs, before it scares the pasta outta everybody!

(Mario gets out of bed. Cut to an outpost in Desert Land. The mummy is chasing some Mushroomers around. The Mushroomers run into a tent and the mummy follows. The Mushroomers run out as the tent collapses on the mummy. The mummy breaks out of the tent.)

Mummy: Where's my son?

(Mario and co. arrive near the mummy, who throws Note Blocks at them.)

Toad: Oh no!

(The mummy starts stomping on a tent.)

Toad: Wow, that mummy really throws her weight around!

Luigi: We better be careful!

Mario: Don't worry, I'll calm her down!

(The mummy throws the tent on top of Mario.)

Mario: As soon as I get up from under this tent!)

(Cut to the pipe Hip and Hop are in.)

Hip: Here's our chance to sneak off-

Hop: Without anyone seeing us!

(Hip and Hop carry the coffin out of the pipe and down the platforms. The mummy continues to throw stuff at Mario and co.)

Mario: Yikes!

Princess: I wonder why the mummy's so upset?

Toad: Huh?

(Hip and Hop run right behind Mario and co., who turn around and see them running off with the coffin.)

Princess: I bet it has something to do with that golden mummy case those bratty Koopa twins are sneaking off with! We've gotta get that case! Luigi, Toad, follow me! Mario, keep the mummy from hurting anyone until we get back!

Mario: No problem, Princess!

(Mario runs up to the mummy, while the others run after Hip and Hop.)

Mario: Excuse me, Miss Mummy! May I have a word with you?

(The mummy turns around and sees Mario.)

Mummy: My little prince! At last I've found you!

Mario: Her little prince? What's she talking about?

Mummy: Come, my little Prince Mushroomkhamen! Give mummy a hug!

Mario: Yuck! A hug from her could be bad for my health! I'd better scram!

(Mario runs off and jumps on top of the remains of a tent.)

Mario: Now for my giant getaway leap!

(Mario jumps off of a column.)

Mario: Great leap-

(The mummy runs up to Mario and catches him.)

Mario: Lousy landing! Luigi! Princess! Help!

(Luigi, Princess, and Toad are still chasing Hip and Hop.)

Toad: Give up, Koopas! You're finished!

(Hip and Hop run over a sand dune.)

(The doomship approaches from the other side of the sand dune. Hip and Hop are standing on the coffin, which is being lifted up to the doomship by ropes.)

Hip and Hop: Na-na-na-na-na!

(Hip and Hop stick their tongues out and blow raspberries. They run over to Koopa who is standing on the bow.)

Koopa: Even my youngest Koopalings could outsmart you do-good dodos!

(The doomship flies off.)

Toad: I dare you to come back here and say that!

(The mummy is carrying Mario back to the pyramid.)

Luigi: Oh no! He's been captured by the marauding mummy!

Mummy: I'll take you home to our tomb, my son! And I'll never let anyone take you away again!

(Mario gulps.)

(Later, Luigi, Princess, and Toad are wandering through Desert Land.)

Luigi: Poor Mario! He's been doomed to some tomb and we'll never find him!

Princess: If we only we had a map of the pyramids!

Toad: If it's maps you want, I got a cousin who can help!

(Luigi, Princess, and Toad are now with Toad's turban-wearing cousin.)

Cousin: I've got maps to the pyramids! Maps to the chains of the mummies! Maps to the houses of the Mushroom stars! You name it, I got it!

Princess: I'll take a map to the mummy tombs!

(Princess gives Toad's cousin a gold coin in exchange for a map.)

Cousin: Good choice, your royal cuteness!

(He bites on the coin. Princess opens the map.)

Princess: Look!

(The three of them see Queen Mushroomkhamen and Prince Mushroomkhamen's faces in one area.)

Luigi: Hey, that map's a phony! It's got a picture of Mario on it!

Princess: No, don't you see? The prince looks like Mario!

Toad: Yeah, I get it! That's why the mad mummy shanghaied him!

(Princess rolls up the map.)

Princess: The only way we're gonna get Mario back, is to break into Castle Koopa, get the mummy case, and trade the real mummy prince for Mario!

(Cut to the tomb. The mummy is still holding Mario.)

Mummy: Aw, give your mummy mommy a big kiss!

Mario: Lady, if you weren't so wrapped up in yourself, you could see I'm not your little boy!

Mummy: All that running around has made you grouchy! It's time for a nice 10,000 year nap!

(The mummy grabs a roll of cloth.)

Mario: I like long naps, but not that long!

(The mummy shakes Mario and wraps him up in the cloth to the point where he can barely move and the only part of his body not covered are his eyes and shoes.)

Mario: Whoa!

(Mario tries to hop off, but the mummy grabs a piece of his cloth that's sticking out and pulls him back.)

Mario: Yikes!

(The mummy places Mario in her coffin.)

Mummy: You'll feel better after your nap!

Mario: Somehow I doubt it!

(Cut to the outside of Castle Koopa. Raccoon Luigi is pulling a hot air balloon surrounded by steam towards the castle. Toad and Princess are in the balloon.)

Princess: This steam cloud balloon was a brilliant idea, Luigi!

Toad: Yeah, nothing stops Raccoon Luigi!

Luigi: Yipe! Except maybe that... Mushroom Kingdom twister!

(A tornado blows the balloon onto the roof of a tower.)

Luigi: My beautiful balloon!

(They fall onto a lower balcony.)

Luigi: It's ruined!

Princess: At least Koopa's guards haven't spotted us!

(Toad looks over the side of the balcony.)

Toad: Until now!

(Two Paragoombas approach them.)

Paragoomba: Invaders! Get King Koopa!

(The second Paragoomba flies off.)

Princess: Quick, into the tower! Maybe there's another way out!

(They run inside and stop.)

Toad: Hey, look, the real prince's mummy case!

(Toad points to the coffin, which is by the door.)

Princess: Oh great!

(They run up to the coffin.)

Princess: Now if we only had a way to get it past King Koopa!

Luigi: Times like this I ask one question. What would Mario do if he were here?

(Luigi runs off for a second and returns with some junk. He then quickly builds a strange looking sled out of the junk with the coffin on top of it.)

Luigi: Well, how do you like my special steam powered mummy sled?

Toad: Compared to what?

(Cut to the bottom of the stairs leading up to the room where Luigi, Princess, and Toad are. Koopa, Hip, Hop and ten Paragoombas have gathered there.)

Paragoomba: We got 'em trapped in the tower, your royal meanness!

Koopa: Good! I'm gonna Koopatate 'em personally! Come on, Hip and Hop! Watch how King Dad handles things!

(Koopa walks up the stairs.)

Hip: We're all eyes and ears-

Hop: King Dad!

(Hip and Hop follow Koopa up the stairs.)

Koopa: We got you trapped, Princess Toadstool! Get down here right now!

(The song "Wipeout" starts up. The door opens up and Luigi, Princess, and Toad ride out and down the stairs on the sled. Koopa, Hip, and Hop dash down the stairs. The Paragoombas ambush them, but they duck and miss. The Paragoombas go after them again, but Luigi swings his tail and hits them. The ten Paragoombas try to form a triangular barricade at the near bottom of the stairs, but the sled plows through them like bowling pins. They pass a couple of Chain Chomps before finally reaching the bottom. The drive out of the castle down into the water and continue on. The song ends.)

(Cut to the tomb. The mummy is sleeping in her chair. Mario gets up.)

Mario: I can't sleep for 10,000 years, I'll get too hungry!

(Mario jumps up through a tall shaft and breaks out of the roof of the pyramid, which wakes the mummy. Mario hops down the pyramid right as Luigi, Princess, and Toad arrive with the coffin.)

Luigi: Mario, ha-hey! You're safe!

(They drop the coffin. Luigi runs up to Mario and hugs him.)

Mario: Aw, lighten up, Luigi! I've had more hugging today than I can stand!

(Princess unwraps Mario.)

Princess: What happened to the queen mummy?

Mario: I left her in the tomb! No way she can get to us!

(The mummy has already broken down a wall and sees them.)

Mario: *gulp* Except by crashing through that wall!

(The mummy walks up to them.)

Mummy: What are you doing with my son?

Princess: Uh, you made a mistake, Queen Mushroomkhamen! This is our friend, Mario! There's your real son!

(Princess directs the mummy to the coffin. The mummy picks up Mario, looks at him closely, and drops him.)

Mummy: You imposter! How dare you pretend to be my son! You don't look anything like him!

(The mummy walks up to Luigi and rubs his chin.)

Mummy: But you look exactly like my husband! Come to me, my darling!

Luigi: Uh, excuse me! But I-I gotta find that map salesman, and buy a map to someplace else!

(Luigi runs off screaming. Mario, Princess, Toad, and the mummy run after him. The curtain falls.)
