(The episode opens to an establishing shot of a walled castle surrounded by a moat.)

Mario: (in his mind) Plumber's Log, Number 1989. We had found Koopa's secret summer castle, complete with swimming pool, barbecue, patio, and a greenhouse.

(Inside the walls, everything Mario mentions is shown. Koopa steps out of the greenhouse sniffing a flower.)

Mario: And one more thing, us as prisoners.

(Mario and Co are sitting on benches, each of them wearing a ball and chain. Koopa walks up to them.)

Koopa: Know what I'm gonna do with you budinskis?

Mario: Say you're sorry and let us go?

Koopa: NO! I'm gonna lock you up for two hundred years! Throw 'em in the dungeon!

(Koopa walks off.)

Mouser: You said it! You got it, your Koopaness!

Luigi: Two hundred years? What are we gonna do?

Mario: Don't worry, because I doubt if we're gonna live two hundred years, Luigi!

(The Marios are now at the top of the stairs leading to the dungeon.)

Mouser: Okay prisoners, down those stairs!

(Mario picks up his ball.)

Mario: No way, these things are too heavy to carry!

(Mario tries walking around, but he drops the ball on Mouser's foot.)

Mario: Whoops!

(Mouser yells and starts hopping around on his other foot.)

Mario: See what I mean?

Mouser: That'll be another two hundred years! Get 'em!

Mario: Can't we discuss this man to Mouser?

(Two Troopas growl and walk up to the Marios.)

Troopa: No way!

Mario: I guess not!

(The Marios get pushed down the stairs, with the weight of their balls pulling them along.)

Mario: No fair!

(The Marios land in the dungeon and Princess and Toad walk up to them.)

Princess: Mario, Luigi, are you okay?

Mario: We've been better! *gasp*

(Mouser and the two Troopas are now in the dungeon.)

Mouser: Move it! Move it! Move it! Stay in this dungeon where you-

(A drop of some liquid hits Mouser's head.)

Mouser: Hey! What's dripping on me? Who's doing that?

(Mouser and the Troopas look up and see a vial filled with a yellow potion, floating in midair.)

Voice: 'Tis I, you bounders!

(An old, bearded wizard by the name of Waldo appears in the air. He pours the potion on Mouser and the Troopas, who start shrinking to the size of normal mice.)

Mouser: Koopa's not gonna like this!

Toad: Say, they're shrinking!

(Waldo floats down to the floor.)

Waldo: Of course they're jolly well shrinking! Thanks to my magic shrink potion!

Princess: And uh, who're you?

Waldo: Why, I'm Waldo the Wizard! And this used to be my castle! Until that rotter Koopa stole it from me!

(Waldo picks up Mouser and the Troopas and drops them into an empty fishbowl.)

Troopas: Hey, watch it!

Mouser: Mommy!

Waldo: These little crummies are just the beginning! I'm going to vanquish Koopa and get my castle back! And I'm going to do it with this vial of magic shrinking potion!

(Toad grabs the vial out of Waldo's hands.)

Toad: At last we got something that'll cut that Koopa creep down to size!

Mario: I don't know, Toad! It might not be that easy!

Waldo: Nonsense, m'boy! With that potion, and my magic-

(Waldo wiggles his fingers, creating some magical sparks. The magic floats around Mario and Co and opens their shackles.)

Toad: Yay! My feet are free!

(Mario and Co cheer.)

Waldo: We're bound to ruin Koopa's day!

(The five of them walk up the stairs. As they reach the top, some smoke blows in their faces.)

Luigi: What's that awful smell?

Princess: Hmm. I think if we follow that terrible stink, it'll lead us to the biggest stinker of all: Koopa!

(Outside the castle, the Troopas, who are now wearing pink Hawaiian shirts, are enjoying themselves. Some are playing croquet, some are having a drink, and some are just lying on lounge chairs. Koopa, who's wearing a chef's hat and a link of sausages around his neck, is cooking burgers on the grill.)

Koopa: Alright, come and get your burgers! And eat fast!

(Some Troopas run up to the grill. Koopa flips a flaming burger at one of them, which burns through his paper plate.)

Koopa: We're gonna celebrate the capture of those faucet freaks, by letting ME win a baseball game!

Toad: That's right, Koopa stoopa!

(Koopa looks off to the side and sees Mario and Co and Waldo. Toad is holding the potion.)

Toad: Only you'll be playing shortstop!

(Toad leaps into the air, but spills the potion on the Marios.)

Mario: Watch it!

Luigi: Toad!

Waldo: Oh dear! There goes the potion!

Princess: There goes the Mario Bros! Th-th-th-they're shrinking!

(Mario and Luigi shrink.)

Mario: No kidding, Princess!

(Toad, who is now huge compared to the Marios, runs past them and up to Princess.)

Toad: Princess, I shrunk the Mario Bros!

Koopa: Yeah, Toad! And thanks loads!

(Koopa uses his sausage link as a lasso and catches Princess, Toad, and Waldo.)

Waldo: I say!

Koopa: Okay, Koopa Pack! Attack!

Luigi: Macaroni misery, Mario! We got big problems!

Mario: Let's get our little feet in gear!

(The Marios run off and the Troopas chase after them.)

Toad: Waldo! Your magic! Do something!

Waldo: Sorry, old chap! But if I can't move my hands, I can't do magic!

Mario: Split up, Luigi!

(The Marios split up, but so do the Troopas. After some more running, Luigi runs into Koopa's foot.)

Luigi: Woah!

Koopa: I gotcha now! But enough small talk! It's plumber squashing time!

(Mario hides behind a croquet ball, and the Troopas run past him.)

Mario: Luigi! Look out!

(Koopa looms over Luigi.)

Luigi: Calamitous clam sauce!

(Koopa raises his foot and prepares to squash Luigi.)

Luigi: I don't wanna see this!

Mario: Jump for your life!

(Mario pushes the croquet ball, which rolls over to where Luigi is. Luigi gets out of the way of Koopa's foot, which lands on the ball, causing Koopa to lose his balance and fall. Mario meets up with Luigi and they run off to a drainpipe.)

Mario: In here!

(They jump in and sit at the bottom.)

Mario: Talk about handy! They must make these drainpipes in all sizes!

Luigi: Speaking of handy, look!

Mario: Woah! This is just too handy!

(The Marios look up and see Koopa's claw reaching down into the pipe.)

Koopa: Wait'll I get my hands on you two!

(The Marios run further into the pipe.)

Koopa: Drat! Those little insects got away!

Princess: Give it up, Koopa! You'll never catch the Mario Bros.!

(Koopa turns his attention to Princess, Toad, and Waldo, who are now tied up by ropes to lounge chairs.)

Koopa: I don't have to! Those miserable mini Mario Bros. will come back to try to rescue you! And when they do...

(Koopa uses a sprayer to spray some poisonous liquid on a flower, which shrivels up, bends over, and breaks. Toad shivers while Koopa just laughs,)

Koopa: They'll never bug me again!

Waldo: Zounds that Koopa! What a cad!

(Cut to inside the drainpipe, where a chomping noise can be heard.)

Mario: Did you say "Chomp, chomp, chomp"?

Luigi: Nope! I didn't say "Chomp, chomp, chomp"!

(They turn around and see four chomping beetles, with haircuts that resemble those of the Beatles.)

Mario: Yuck! I hate beetles!

Luigi: Don't tell them that!

(Mario yells and runs off with Luigi. The beetles chase after them and attempt to catch them. After a bit, the Marios escape by jumping out of a pipe back onto the ground.)

Luigi: Suffering spumoni! That was a little too close for comfort!

(A drop of water drips off of a flower and onto Mario.)

Mario: After all that we're gonna get rained on too!

Luigi: Leaping lasagna!

(A blast of water washes them away. The Marios shake the water off and see that it came from a sprinkler.)

Mario: Giant beetles! Giant sprinklers! What's next?

Koopa: Koopa the exterminator! At your service!

(Koopa, who is standing next to the Marios, attempts to spray them with the poison.)

Luigi: Run!

(The Marios hop off. Koopa and the Troopas chase after them.)

Koopa: Get them! Get those puny little pests!

Princess: Run!

Luigi: Save yourselves!

Toad: Go! Go!

(The Marios stop in front of the greenhouse.)

Mario: In here, quick!

Luigi: Wait a minute, you're always saying "In here, quick"!

Mario: Okay, then you say it!

Luigi: In here, quick!

(Luigi grabs Mario and runs inside. Koopa runs inside as well, but the Troopas stay outside.)

Troopa: Hey, I ain't going in that place! It's full of vegetables!

Toad: If only I hadn't spilled that potion on the Mario Bros!

Waldo: If only I could get my hands free! I could conjure up a magical antidote and restore the Mario Bros. to their normal size!

(Meanwhile, Koopa is slowly walking through the greenhouse, looking for the Marios.)

Koopa: Come out come out, wherever you are!

(The Marios are hiding in between the leaves of a potted plant.)

Mario: (to Luigi) Fat chance, Koopa!

(Princess shakes her chair, and because it has wheels, it starts to roll around.)

Princess: Come on, guys! Rock and roll!

(Toad and Waldo roll along with Princess. They crash into the Troopas, causing Princess and Waldo's chairs to break. Waldo then unties Toad and they walk up to the greenhouse. Waldo conjures up a vial of red potion, which Toad picks up. Meanwhile, Koopa laughs and continues to go after the Marios. Eventually the Marios jump into a watering pail. Koopa puts down the sprayer, grabs the pail, and starts shaking it. Toad sneaks up behind Koopa, pours the potion in the sprayer, and runs off. Koopa pours the water out of the pail along with the Marios, who land next to some potted vegetables.)

Mario and Luigi: Yikes!

(Koopa picks up the sprayer and aims it at the Marios.)

Koopa: So long, suckers!

(The Marios are shivering.)

Mario: Goodbye, Luigi!

Luigi: Goodbye, Mario!

(Koopa sprays the Marios and they grow back to their normal size. The spray also hits the vegetables, causing them to grow big too. Koopa drops the sprayer.)

Koopa: Oh no! What happened?

Waldo: I mixed up a little magic growing potion!

Toad: And I snuck it in the spray gun!

Mario: Thanks for making us big again, Koopa!

Luigi: Yeah, and thanks for the giant veggies too!

(The Marios chuck some oversized vegetables at Koopa, who runs out of the greenhouse.)

Koopa: Gangway! He who Koops and runs away, lives to Koop another day!

(Koopa plows through the Troopas and keeps on running. The Marios carry out a basket of giant vegetables.)

Luigi: Look what we got, Troopas!

(The Marios hurl the vegetables at the Troopas.)

Mario: Take that!

Luigi: And that! And that!

Troopa: Vegetables! Yuck!

(The drawbridge lowers and the Troopas run across, followed by Koopa.)

Waldo: That cad Koopa deserves to get the boot, and I think I'll give it to him!

(Waldo conjures up a winged boot, which flies after Koopa. Koopa turns his head around and shouts.)

Koopa: Oh no!

(The boot kicks Koopa.)

Koopa: OW!

Waldo: I must say, Mario Bros, you've done a jolly good job of helping me get my castle back!

Mario: Glad to help, Waldo! Solving up Koopa is the way we get our kicks!

(The five of them laugh. Koopa is still being chased and kicked by the boot.)

Koopa: OW! I hate plumbers! OW! I hate- OW! Why can't they pick on- OW! Someone their own size?
