Editing 7 Continents for 7 Koopas

|opening=[[Grass Land]]

"'''7 Continents for 7 Koopas'''" is the twenty-second episode of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. It aired alongside another episode entitled "[[Up, Up, and a Koopa]]." The episode's name is a reference to the musical film ''{{wp|Seven Brides for Seven Brothers}}''.

 

In this episode, [[Bowser|King Koopa]] sends the [[Koopalings]] to each of the [[Earth|Real World]]'s seven continents to cause mischief, forcing [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], and [[Toad]] to stop them.

 

This episode is notable for being the only episode in the series to have at least one full line for every main character.

In the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Frog Mario]] and Frog [[Luigi]] are hopping across a bridge over a pond, while [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] follow in swimwear. Looking up at the clear sky, Princess Toadstool comments that it is a great day for swimming, as there is not a single cloud in the sky. Luigi corrects Princess Toadstool's comment, pointing out to her the huge rain cloud that has suddenly appeared above them. Upon paying closer attention to the "cloud", [[Mario]] exclaims that it is actually the [[Airship#The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3|Doom Ship]], surrounded with steam. Not wanting to be spotted by the [[Bowser's Minions|Koopas]], Princess Toadstool directs her friends to jump into the water.

Inside the Doom Ship's engine room, steam from the radiator is starting to flood the place. [[Ludwig|Kooky]], [[Larry|Cheatsy]], and [[Wendy|Kootie Pie]] use a monitor to communicate with [[Bowser|King Koopa]] at the helm. Kooky explains that the radiator has overheated, much to Koopa's dismay, as he just got the Doom Ship back from the repair shop. As the entire room starts to shake, Cheatsy remarks that they need water immediately, and Koopa orders his kids to activate the [[Super Slurp Pipe]].

Back aboard the Doom Ship, Kooky is gloating about his Koopa Clogger, and as the rest of the [[Koopalings]] cheer, Koopa orders them to get ready for his latest plan: the real world has seven continents, so he assigns each of his seven kids to wreak havoc on one. As the Koopalings are called off by name, they parachute down to their assigned continent:

*[[Roy|Bully]] is ordered to be the "Beast of the East" in Asia.

*Cheatsy is ordered to "show how low he can go, down under", in [[Australia]].

*Kootie Pie is ordered to be "a plague in Europe".

*Kooky is ordered to "go wild" in [[Africa]].

*[[Morton|Big Mouth]] is ordered to "blow his hot air all over [[Antarctica]]".

*[[Lemmy|Hip]] is ordered to "rediscover [[North America]], and be rotten from sea to shining sea".

*[[Iggy|Hop]] is ordered to "la bamba" [[South America]].

Still tied up by the Chain Chomp, Princess Toadstool tells Koopa that he will never get away with his takeover, but Koopa shows her the truth, and directs her attention to a screen with seven monitors, each one linked to a Koopaling. He first checks in on Bully, who is spraying graffiti all over a wall; he is disappointed with Bully's vandalism, until he learns that the wall is actually the [[Great Wall of China]]. Next, Koopa checks in on Kooky, who has turned all the African animals into stuffed animals with his [[Magic Wand|magic wand]]. He then checks in on Cheatsy, who has used his magic wand to turn every human in Australia into a kangaroo, with the exception of a "Crocodile" Dundee-type man, who he turns into a prawn, explaining that they are "throwing shrimp on a barbie." After that, Koopa checks in on Big Mouth, who has built an [[Abominable Snowkoopa]], which he brings to life to terrorize the penguins of Antarctica. He then checks in on Kootie Pie, who used her magic wand to transform all the artwork in the [[Louvre]] into portraits of herself. Checking in on North America, Hip announces that he has taken over all of the TV stations, and is holding a "Koopathon," which will not end until everyone gives him all their money. Lastly, Koopa checks in on Hop, who has turned the Amazon rainforest into a parking lot.
