(The curtain rises on Dark Land and the title is shown.)

(The episode opens to an establishing shot of Castle Koopa. Hip, Hop, and Kooky are in the lab. Kooky is standing next to an operating table as Hip and Hop walk up to a machine on the wall.)

Hip and Hop: We're all set, Kooky!

Kooky: Then hit it, Hip! Hop to it, Hop!

(Hip and Hop each pull a lever and it charges up a pendant on the table. Kooky picks it up.)

Kooky: Oooh, we did it! This pendant is gonna give King Dad the same super powers the Mario Bros. have! Woah boy, am I smart!

(King Koopa walks in.)

Koopa: Excellent work my boys!

Kooky: Thanks King Dad! But uh, there's just one little problem.

(Kooky hands the pendant to Koopa.)

Hip: The pendant won't work anywhere-

Hop: Except in the Real World!

Koopa: Even better! Those bigheaded plumbers can't get their super powers in the Real World!

Kooky: So, if we can just lure those brick-brained bozos back there...

Koopa: My new super powers will help me slam dunk those lunkheads into the trash can of doom!

(Cut to the Bros., Princess, and Toad walking through the Mushroom Kingdom. They notice a shadow coming from behind them so they stop and turn around.)

Mario: Quick, we've got trouble! It's Koopa's doomship!

(Koopa lassos a rope and catches Luigi with it. He pulls him up and dangles him from the doomship.)

Luigi: Woah! Help, Mario!

(The doomship starts moving away and Luigi screams.)

Mario: Let go of my brother, Koopa!

Luigi: Woah! Woah!

Koopa: Why don't you come and make me?

(The doomship stops. Koopa slides down the rope and grabs Luigi. He uses his claw to cut the rope and they fall near a pipe.)

Mario: He's shoving Luigi into the warp zone!

(Koopa shoves Luigi into the pipe and goes in after him.)

Koopa: Exactly! And if you don't follow us, you'll never see Luigi again!

(Mario jumps in after them.)

Mario: I'm coming Luigi!

(Toad tries to jump in but Princess stops him.)

Princess: Toad, we need you to stay behind in the Mushroom Kingdom!

Toad: What for? And why do I have to stay behind? I always stay behind!

Princess: I have my reasons Toad, you'll find out!

(Princess jumps into the pipe.)

(Cut to a street in Paris. Mario and Princess emerge from a manhole.)

Princess: Mario, where are we?

Mario: In the Real World. In Paris, France. And there's Koopa with Luigi!

(They follow Koopa, who's still holding Luigi, down the street.)

Koopa: *laugh* This looks like a job for, Super Koopa!

Luigi: Super Koopa? Yeesh! Ya gotta be kidding!

Koopa: How could I? I don't have a sense of humor! Go tell your brother to watch this!

(Koopa tosses Luigi aside. Luigi then runs back to Mario and the Princess. Koopa shoots a beam from them pendant at the hydrant. Koopa then kicks the hydrant off the ground and water comes gushing out along with a Super Leaf. Koopa grabs it and he gains Raccoon power. His horns are now Raccoon ears and his tail is a Raccoon tail.)

Koopa: Hey! It really worked! Permit me to introduce you to, Raccoon Koopa!

(Koopa flies after them.)

Mario: Pinch me, Luigi!

Luigi: Hey, I don't have to Mario, it's true! Koopa's super, and we can't get our super powers up here!

(Koopa swoops down at Princess and grabs her.)

Koopa: Care to go for a little sightseeing flight, Princess?

(Koopa flies her over to the Eiffel Tower.)

Koopa: If that's the way you feel about it, we'll make your first stop, your last!

(He ties her up with a rope and dangles her from a steel beam.)

(The Bros. fly up in a police helicopter and Mario speaks through a megaphone.)

Mario: Raccoon Koopa! We've got you covered! Put down your getup and surrender peacefully!

(Koopa flies over to the helicopter.)

Koopa: Sorry Mario, but I'm having way too much fun.

(Koopa hits the copter with his tail and it goes whirling down towards the Seine River. The copter lands on a submarine that just surfaced and the captain looks out of the hatch.)

Captain: (with French accent) Is everybody okay?

Mario: (pointing) Um, not exactly. Look!

Captain: Filet Mignon! We are being dive bombed by a flying reptile-raccoon? Oui oui! This is too much for me!

(Koopa flies down at them but he misses.)

Koopa: Ah! If you think my Raccoon is good...

(He fires the pendant at a crate floating in the water, charges into it, and emerges wearing a Frog Suit.)

Koopa: You'll love my frog! Ribbit, ribbit!

(In the sub the Bros. and the captain are looking at the sonar scope.)

Captain: Cordon Bleu! I don't believe it! Ze sonar scope says we are being attacked by a gigantic frog!

(Koopa kicks the sub.)

Koopa: Yeow!

(The sub pulls over at the shore and the three of them peek out of the hatch.)

Mario: I'm afraid you'd better believe it, Captain! And that frog is hopping mad!

Koopa: Your stupid sub hurt my flipper! And for that you're all gonna pay!

(They all arrive at a jail, where Koopa throws the three of them in a cell and locks them in. Koopa then returns to the Princess, who is still dangling from the tower. He uses his wand to contact Hip, Hop, Kooky, and Kootie Pie.)

Koopa: That's right kids! Paris is mine! I've got the princess trapped at the Eiffel Tower, and the Mario Bros. in the Bastille! If you ever wanted to see the wonders of Europe, now's the time! The culture, the history!

Kooky: The French fries!

Kootie Pie: The shopping!

(Cut to the prison.)

Mario: Aw, without super powers, we're no match for Super Koopa!

(Koopa, back in his normal form, is walking down a street spinning his wand.)

Koopa: Ha! With the Mario Bros. out of the way, it won't be long before all of Paris is at my feet.

(Koopa stops and looks at a couple that notices him.)

Koopa: Hey, what are you staring at? Haven't you ever seen a reptile getting ready to conquer the world?

(The couple runs off as Koopa laughs. Back at the jail, Lugi is digging up the floor with a spoon.)

Mario: We've got to get out of here fast before Paris is ruined!

Luigi: I-I'm digging as fast as I can!

(Luigi pulls out a bent up spoon.)

Luigi: Oops, I just bent the spoon!

(At a clothing store, Kootie Pie tries on an outrageous outfit.)

Kootie Pie: Well everyone, how do I look?

(Two people look at her and faint. Koopa applauds.)

Koopa: You look marvelous, Kootie Pie! Simply marvelous!

Kootie Pie: I knew I could count on you for an honest opinion, King Dad!

(At the Louvre, Paragoombas are flying in and out with paintings. Hip and Hop are dressed like artists and are making paintings of their own.)

Hop: Get those ugly old paintings out of here! We've gotta make room for our new masterpieces!

(The "masterpieces" are actually just a bunch a cheap scribbles. Hip is painting glasses, a moustache, and horns on the Mona Lisa.)

Hip: On the other hand, with a little improvement, some of these old ones look pretty good too!

(Back at the tower, the princess pulls a scroll out of her pocket.)

Princess: I've got to get a message to Toad to bring help!

(She throws it into the manhole. Meanwhile, in the Mushroom Kingdom, Toad is sitting next to a pipe.

Toad: (imitating Princess) We need you to stay behind, Toad! (normal voice) It's always me! It's not fair!

(The scroll pops out of the pipe. Toad picks it up and reads it.)

Toad: Hmm, a message from the princess. Good thing I'm told by Princess I should stay behind!

(Toad lassos a ? Block and pulls really hard, causing it to lose its anti-gravity force, and Toad puts it in a large chest. Toad then hits a block where a Kuribo Goomba is standing. The Goomba runs off and the Shoe lands in the chest. Toad then carries a bunch of Fire Flowers, Frog Suits, and Starmen and dumps them into the chest. Toad stomps on the items to make sure they'll fit. He then carries the chest to the pipe and throws it in as he stops to catch his breath.)

Toad: Real World, here I come!

(Toad jumps in the pipe.)

(Cut to the jail. Luigi isn't having much luck digging with his hands.)

Sledge Brother: Prisoners! Since it's your birthday, you're allowed visitors!

(Luigi sits on top of the hole, while Toad, dressed as a bearded Hippie with glasses, walks in with a cake and sets it down on the floor.)

Luigi: Hey, it's not my birthday, and I know it's not your birthday, Mario. Is it your birthday?

(Toad quickly reveals his face.)

Luigi: Toad!

(Mario quickly covers Luigi's mouth.)

Sledge Brother: Okay, you've delivered your present, you gotta go!

(Toad walks off as Mario digs through the cake.)

Luigi: Hey, well if it isn't my birthday, it's nice to have a cake!

(Mario discovers a block in the cake.)

Mario: This isn't a cake, Luigi, it's a super block!

Luigi: Oh, too bad! I was hungry.

(Mario karate chops the block and a Super Leaf pops out. Mario gains Raccoon power and slams the wall with his tail, causing the alarm to go off and revealing an exit to the street where Toad is waiting.)

(The Sledge Brother picks up a phone.)

Sledge Brother: King Koopa! King Koopa! The prisoners have escaped!

(Koopa and the kids are driving around in a car.)

Koopa: Escaped have they? Kooky, take the wheel! This looks like a job for Super Koopa!

(Koopa uses the pendant to gain Raccoon power and flies out of the car to the jail.)

Mario: Look! Up in the sky!

Luigi: Is it a bird?

Toad: Is it a plane?

Koopa: No way plunger face! It's Super Koopa!

(Toad pulls a Super Leaf out of the chest and throws it at Luigi.)

Toad: Luigi, catch!

(Luigi gains Raccoon power and flies off with Mario.)

Mario: Thanks for everything, Captain!

Captain: Au reviour, raccoons!

(The Brothers chase after Koopa, who slows down and whips Mario with his tail, causing him to lose his Raccoon power and start falling, but Luigi catches him.)

(Toad runs up the Eiffel Tower and unties Princess, who unravels to the ground. Toad then slides down the rope and the brothers meet up with them.)

Toad: Now I know why you left me behind, Princess! Sorry I got mad.

(Princess pulls a Fire Flower out of the chest.)

Princess: Mario, heads up!

(She throws it at Mario and he gains Fire Power.)

Mario: Got it, Princess!

(Luigi grabs Mario and flies up to Koopa. Mario shoots a few fireballs, one of which hits Koopa, causing him to lose his Raccoon power and fall into the river. Mario shoots a few more fireballs at him as they land on the shore.)

Luigi: Hey, you think he's still down there?

(Koopa surfaces at the shore next to a green shoe.)

Koopa: Aha! This Karubi clodhopper may be just the thing to kick some sense into a couple of flies!

(Koopa uses the pendant on the shoe, which morphs into a real Kuribo's shoe. He starts stomping around in it.)

Mario: I don't believe it! Karubi Koopa!

(Luigi grabs Mario and they fly off. Koopa uses his pendant to regain Raccoon power and flies after them in the shoe.)

Koopa: You'll never escape the wrathful doom of this Shoe! *laugh*

(Koopa uses the pendant to gain Fire Power along with Raccoon power and starts shooting fireballs. The song My Karubi starts up.)

(A fireball hits the Marios, causing them both to lose their powers. Princess and Toad throw each of them a Fire Flower and they gain fire power. They shoot some fireballs and Koopa loses his powers but he regains them with the pendant. Koopa shoots the Marios, causing them to lose their powers again and he laughs. Princess and Toad throw them each a Starman and they become invincible.)

(Koopa shoots them but the fireballs bounce back and hit him, causing him to lose his Raccoon power and the Shoe. But when Koopa lands he uses the pendant to regain Raccoon power and the Shoe and starts flying again. The Marios' invincibility also wears off.)

Luigi: Oh no!

(Princess and Toad throw them each a Frog Suit, which they put on, and start dodging Koopa. Koopa keeps missing them and gets really ticked. Koopa jumps out of the Shoe and goes after Princess and Toad. He grabs them and flies off, but the Brothers jump on him and he drops them. Koopa goes flying into a tree and loses his Raccoon power, but he gets it back. Mario and Luigi return to the chest and high five each other. Koopa flies back into his Shoe and does some more stomping. Princess pulls a Kuribo's Shoe out of the chest and Mario jumps in it. Koopa approaches Luigi and almost stomps on him but Mario kicks him, causing Koopa to go flying out of the Shoe and the pendant goes out of control. Koopa keeps changing from Raccoon Koopa to Fire Koopa to Frog Koopa. The pendant eventually breaks, causing Koopa to go flying out of control and finally land in the sewer. The Koopa Kids pull up in the car and jump in after him as the song ends.)

Kootie Pie: Daddy! Wait for me!

(Mario returns to Luigi, Princess, and Toad, who are cheering.)

Mario: I don't think Paris will be seeing them ever again!

Toad: You're right. That King Koopa may have thought he was super, but when you're talking Super Mario Bros., there's just no substitute for the real thing!

Mario: Yeah, but we couldn't have done it without our Toad!
