==Plot synopsis==

Hearing about the reward money, the cactus the poster is attached to suddenly springs to life, revealing itself to be a [[Pokey]]. The Pokey, desiring the reward, begins to attack Mario and Luigi, only to be stopped when it has a plunger thrown at and affixed to its face.

While trekking up a hill of sand, Mario, Luigi, and Toad are suddenly confronted by Kid Koopa's second-in-command, Sheriff [[Mouser]], and his brigade of [[Snifit]]s and [[Ostro]]s. After hearing Mouser's plan to capture them, Mario, Luigi, and Toad begin to run for it, with Mouser and the Snifits and Ostros chasing them.

Seeing Mario, Luigi, and Toad cross the river, Sheriff Mouser orders his Snifit minions to do the same. Unfortunately, the Snifits fail to make it across and fall over a waterfall, leaving Mouser to cry over and mourn their fate as well as his failure to capture the trio.

As the Tweeter flies away, Mario and Luigi notice some nearby smoke signals spelling "HELP ME" followed by a crude image of Princess Toadstool when Luigi wonders "Who's me?". Realizing the messages must be from Princess Toadstool, Mario, Luigi, and Toad begin to travel to where the smoke signals are originating.

With Mouser distracted, Mario, Luigi, and Toad, after knocking aside several Snifits, steal their Ostros, and run. Mouser, after lighting the fuse of a [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]], throws it at a nearby boulder, releasing it and causing to roll down at Mario's group. Running from the boulder, Mario's group find themselves in the town, with an army of Cobrat-armed Pokeys in front of them. Seeing a nearby building advertising free Italian food, Mario, Luigi, and Toad manage to run inside it, dodging the boulder, which bowls over the Pokey army.

==Animation and continuity errors==

*When Sheriff Mouser finds Mario and his friends near the cliff, the number of [[Snifit]]s that follow him changes from four to two.

*When Mario and his friends try to escape on [[Ostro]]s and Mouser throws the [[Bob-omb]], they can briefly still be seen standing on the mountain.

*When the giant boulder is chasing Mario and his friends as they flee on Ostros, the Ostros' heads are the same color as their beaks.

*When Luigi and Toad notice the [[Pokey]]s, the [[Cobrat]]s they are holding have white sclerae instead of yellow.

*When Mario says that there is free Italian food, his mouth does not move.

*When Mario and Luigi point at each other, Mouser's ears are the same color as his hat.

*When Mario and Luigi play patty-cake in the cell, they have four fingers on each hand instead of five.

*When Mario knocks Mouser's hat off his head, the top of his head is skin-color instead of gray. This also happens when he takes off his hat when he enters the bar.

**In the same scene, Mario's usually tan hat turns brown, and Toad is not wearing his cowboy outfit. Shortly after, the Cobrat Mouser is holding has white sclerae instead of yellow.

*When Mouser enters the tavern, the [[Koopa Troopa]]'s head is completely yellow, while its eyes are white instead of yellow.

*When Sheriff Mouser tells the Koopa Troopas to stop Mario and his friends, the red bands on their hats change to the colors of the hats themselves.
