(The curtain rises on the Pipe Maze and the title is shown.)

(Mario and co. are chasing a Boom Boom through the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The Boom Boom has a painting in his hands.)

Mario: Get back here, Boom Boom!

(The Boom Boom approaches a dead end, with a window looking out over the street.)

Luigi: What are you gonna do, jump?

(The Boom Boom pulls out a walkie-talkie.)

Boom Boom: Boom Boom to King Koopa! I've got a painting and I'm ready to leave! Those Mario Bros. are right behind me, over!

Princess: Look, there's no way you can escape! So just give us the painting!

Luigi: Yeah! Maybe we'll go easy on you!

(The doomship flies over the street in front of the museum. A rope ladder is lowered next to the window. The Boom Boom breaks through the window, jumps onto the ladder, and the doomship takes off.)

Mario: Oh no! Now what'll we do?

Toad: Hey, we can use these!

(Toad pulls four Super Leaves out of his pocket. Everyone else grabs one and the four of them gain Raccoon Power.)

Princess: Alright, let's go stop them!

(They take off after the doomship. Cut to the cockpit. Koopa is at the wheel with Kootie Pie next to him. Boom Boom walks in.)

Boom Boom: Here's a painting, Kootie Pie! I hope it makes you feel better!

Kootie Pie: This painting is just a bunch of scribbles! Don't you know that I hate that stuff! And it hurts me to yell because I have a sore throat, but I HATE IT!

(Kootie Pie throws a tantrum.)

Koopa: Kootie Pie, my precious! Your cold will never go away if you keep yelling!

(Kootie Pie stops her tantrum.)

Kootie Pie: Well, Boom Boom certainly isn't helping!

(Kootie Pie blows her nose.)

(Mario and co. fly in through a window.)

Mario: Alright, hand over that painting!

Kootie Pie: Here, take it! I didn't want it anyways!

(Kootie Pie hands the painting over to Mario. Mario and co. give Kootie Pie confused looks and leave with the painting.)

Koopa: What'd you do that for?

Kootie Pie: I didn't like that painting! You should let me select what I want next time!

(Kootie Pie looks out the window and sees the Statue of Liberty nearby.)

Kootie Pie: King Dad, I know what I want! That statue over there!

Koopa: The Statue of Liberty? Uh uh, no way! Besides, where will we put it?

Kootie Pie: Outside my bedroom window, for everyone to see!

Koopa: Absolutely not! And speaking of your bedroom, that's where you should be!

(The doomship drives off through a large warp pipe near the statue.)

(Cut to Kootie Pie's bedroom. Kootie Pie is sitting on her bed, surrounded by Hip, Hop, and Big Mouth.)

Hip: So, why did you-

Hop: Call us here?

Kootie Pie: When I was with Dad today, I told him I wanted the Statue of Liberty for my get well present, but he said (imitating Koopa) Absolutely not! Where will we put it? Blah blah blah blah blah!

Big Mouth: The Statue of Liberty? That's a very bbbbing statue! It's so bbbig, so tall, so high, so huge, so towering-

(Hop covers Big Mouth's mouth.)

Hop: So, how will we-

Hip: Get the statue?

Kootie Pie: I have a plan we can follow!

Big Mouth: And if we don't?

Kootie Pie: I'm gonna throw a tantrum so big, it won't end until you're old geezers!

(Cut to New York City at night. The doomship flies out of the warp pipe towards the Statue of Liberty.)

Big Mouth: Alright then! We're ready to lower the chain so that we can pull the statue off the ground and into the warp pipe where we will place it next to Kootie Pie's bbbedroom window!

(Hip pulls a lever and a huge, thick chain is lowered from the doomship. A fleet of Lakitus fly out of the doomship and pick up the chain and tie it around the statue at the waist. When they finish, the doomship starts moving and tries to fly off.)

Hip: Give it more power!

Big Mouth: I'm trying! The statue is too heavy! It's stuck, stationary, not going anywhere, staying kaput-

Hip: We're running at-

Hop: Full power!

(The statue and its base get pulled off of the island.)

Kootie Pie: Yes! It's finally mine! All mine!

(The doomship flies through the warp pipe, dragging the statue along with it. The doomship comes out of a warp pipe in Dark Land.)

Kootie Pie: We're almost home!

(The chain snaps and the statue falls down and into a warp pipe.)

Hip: Are you thinking-

Hop: What I'm thinking?

(The four of them look out the window and notice that the statue is gone.)

Big Mouth: Uh oh! We lost the statue! It's gone, missing, lost, abandoned to the depths of the Pipe Maze!

Kootie Pie: Forget about it! We'll get it in the morning! I'm tired!

(Cut to Toad's house the next morning. Mario and co. are eating breakfast. The doorbell rings.)

Toad: Who could it be?

Luigi: Yeah, it's usually during dinner that a salesperson interrupts us!

(Mario opens the door and a Mushroom woman is standing there.)

Woman: Mario! There's a giant statue of some human in the Pipe Maze!

Mario: Who built it?

Woman: I don't know, but it looks stolen to me!

Luigi: Well then, we'd better check this out!

(Cut to Kootie Pie's bedroom. Kootie Pie is asleep, but is woken up when Koopa walks in.)

Koopa: Kootie Pie! GET UP! NOW!

Kootie Pie: *yawn* What is it, Daddykums?

Koopa: I've heard that the Statue of Liberty is in the Pipe Maze! And I believe that you're behind it, since you were talking about wanting it yesterday!

Kootie Pie: But what makes you think that moi was behind it?

Koopa: Because your brothers told me!

Kootie Pie: Well, I'll deal with it later, I need my beauty sleep!

(She pulls the covers over herself, but Koopa drags her out of bed, kicking and screaming.)

(Cut to the Pipe Maze. Mario and co. are there, staring at the statue, which is stuck on top of a pipe that's too narrow for it to fit through.)

Luigi: I don't believe it, Mario! The Koopas just stole the Statue of Liberty from New York! But why would they take it to the Pipe Maze?

Princess: Well, I think that something went wrong. Look at that chain, it's snapped, so something must have gone wrong with their heist.

(Toad looks up and sees a huge warp pipe directly above the statue.)

Toad: I think that the statue fell through the pipe!

(Toad runs over to a Mushroom boy.)

Toad: Hey, kid! Do you know where the pipe above the statue leads to?

Boy: Dark Land, I think.

Toad: Thanks!

Mario: I'll go check it out!

(Mario jumps up and hits a couple of blocks, a Super Leaf pops out of one and he uses it to gain Raccoon Power.)

Mario: I'm gonna find out where in Dark Land it leads to!

(Mario flies off into the pipe.)

Princess: Well, how exactly are we gonna move the statue anyways?

Luigi: Well, I was thinking, if we can build up enough water pressure and send it through the warp pipe the statue's stuck on, we can shoot the statue out of the pipe like a champagne cork!

(Mario returns.)

Mario: Well, I was in Dark Land, and that warp pipe is next to another pipe that leads to New York City, near to where the statue is, I mean was!

Luigi: I have an idea! We're gonna need Frog Suits though. I'll explain on the way!

(Before they can run off, the doomship comes out of the warp pipe.)

Princess: Oh no! You guys need to hurry! Toad and I will try to stall the Koopas from taking the statue.

(Bullet Bills are fired at Mario and co. Princess and Toad hide behind some blocks while the Marios jump into a warp pipe.)

(The Marios come out into a room with a chest. Luigi opens it and takes out two Frog Suits. He hands one to Mario and they put them on.)

Luigi: Come on! We don't have much time!

(Cut to the cockpit of the doomship.)

Koopa: Alright, here's what we're gonna do! We'll use stronger chains this time to lift the statue up and bring it to Castle Koopa!

Kootie Pie: I'm so glad you're letting me keep the statue, King Dad! I'm starting to feel better already!

Koopa: I'm only letting you do this so that the Mario Bros. don't get to have another easy victory! Lower the chain!

Big Mouth pulls the lever and lowers the chain around the statue. The Lakitus start to tie the chain as the Marios return.)

Princess: Oh no!

Luigi: Don't worry! We'll save the statue, I hope!

(The Marios jump into the water.)

Koopa: Alright you three, put on your scuba gear and get those pesky plumbers!

(Hip, Hop, and Big Mouth jump out of the doomship wearing scuba gear and swim after the Marios.)

Luigi: Okay, Mario. We can build up the water pressure if we hook up some warp pipes in a current and send them over to the pipe the statue's in.

(The doomship is trying to pull the statue out of the pipe.)

Sledge Brother: It's no use, King Koopa! That statue's wedged into that pipe!

Koopa: Keep trying! I can't leave it here! Kootie Pie will be very unhappy if I do!

Kootie Pie: I'm so glad I have such a generous father as you, King Dad!

(The Marios have set up some warp pipes in a current.)

Mario: Okay, Luigi, we just need one more pipe over here, and this water will be pushing the statue out of the pipe in no time!

(The Koopas see the Marios.)

Hip: There they are!

Hop: Let's get them!

Luigi: Mario, the Koopa Kids are after us!

Big Mouth: That's right! We're gonna get you meddlesome Mario Bbbrothers and put an end to your fun!

(The song "We Just Have to Survive" starts up.)

The Koopas are on a chase
It's like some sort of race
And we can't choose
To win or lose
We just have to survive
They're after us
They won't give up
They won't go away
But if we manage to escape
We can save the day
The Koopas are on a chase
It's like some sort of race
And we can't choose
To win or lose
We just have to survive
They're after us
They won't give up
They won't go away
But if we manage to escape
We can save the day

(The Koopas chase the Marios through a series of warp pipes and corner them. The song ends.)

Mario: Oh no, now what are we gonna do?

(The Koopas pull out their wands.)

Hip: So long-

Hop: Super Mario Bros.!

(The three of them shoot their wands at a Jeletctro, which grows bigger.)

Mario: We've gotta do something!

(The Marios swim upwards towards the surface, as the Jelectro and Koopas follow.)

Mario: Luigi, get onto my shoulders!

(Luigi does so and Mario tosses him up to a Note Block. Luigi hits it and a Starman pops out. Luigi grabs it and becomes invincible.)

Hip: Uh-

Hop: Oh!

(Luigi lands on the Jelectro, which gets knocked out and sinks.)

Big Mouth: Let's get out of here, before he clobbbbers us!

(The Koopas swim off.)

Luigi: Alright! Now lets finish the job!

(The Marios have finished setting up the pipes. Mario pulls a valve, which releases the water into the pipe the statue's in. The water comes gushing out like a geyser and pushes the statue up into Dark Land and into the pipe to New York. The doomship, which is still attached to the statue, gets pulled along with it. The statue lands back on Liberty Island where it belongs. The doomship goes flying into the water and crashes when it hits the bottom.)

(Cut to Kootie Pie's bedroom.)

Kootie Pie: (crying) King Dad! It's not fair! I really wanted that Statue of Liberty! But those stupid Mario Bros. stopped us! *sob* And now my cold is worse than ever!

Koopa: I told you it wasn't a good idea!

(Kootie Pie throws a tantrum.)

Koopa: Cut that out! You're only making things worse!

Kootie Pie: But King Dad! I wanna have the Statue of Liberty! Why won't you get it?

(Koopa leaves her room and slams the door.)

Koopa: I think next time she gets sick, I'll just get her a card.

(The curtain falls.)
