'''Duh Stoopid Bomb!''' was an issue of [[Valiant Comics|Valiant's]] ''Super Mario Bros.'' series of comics.


==Plot synopsis==
'''Duh Stoopid Bomb!''' was an issue of [[Valiant Comics|Valiant's]] Super Mario Bros. series of comics.
[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Mushroom King|King Toadstool]] discuss various matters in the castle war room; the King thinks the Princess's mention of "dark days" means that lighting bills are going up. Suddenly, [[Wooster]] arrives and declares that they have new information from the F.B.I. ([[List of implied organizations#Fungus Bureau of Investigation|Fungus Bureau of Investigation]]). Luigi suspects it must be a message from [[Toad]], who Princess Toadstool reveals had previously been sent to infiltrate [[Bowser|King Bowser Koopa]]'s headquarters.


The scene then cuts to Bowser's throne room, where Toad, disguised as a [[Shy Guy|Shyguy]], delivers [[Koopa-Kola]] to Bowser, who angrily gripes that he brought him the wrong brand. Bowser, [[Fryguy]] and a [[Snifit]] then listen to a presentation from a red-robed Snifit; Toad decides to eavesdrop as the Snifit explains that the [[Stupid Bomb]] is ready, claiming that it can make anyone "reaaaaally stupid for hours". At this point, Toad's cover is blown by Bowser; while trying to escape the castle, Toad asks the Snifit to give him the Stupid Bomb, and the Snifit naively complies. Bowser then mistakes the Shyguy costume for an actual Shyguy, which allows Toad to escape Bowser's throne room safely.
== Plot Sypnosis ==


Back in the war room, as the group debates whether to launch an attack on Bowser, Toad bursts into the room and accidentally trips, dropping the Stupid Bomb and causing it to explode. The bomb's gas envelops everyone present and makes them incredibly dumb, except for the already-stupid King Toadstool. The newly "dope-ified" Mario and Luigi then gain permission from King Toadstool to go out and take on Bowser's army single-handedly. As the Mario Bros. then jump out of the war room window, they wonder why people call King Toadstool dumb, prompting the insulted King to ask who those people are; Wooster quips that he would make a list if he remembered how.
While Mario, Luigi, [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[King Toadstool]] (who thinks the Princess's mention of "dark days" means that lighting bills are going up) discuss various matters in the castle war room, [[Wooster]] says that new information has been received from the F.B.I. ([[Fungus Bureau of Investigation]]). Luigi points out that it must be a message from [[Toad]], who Princess Toadstool says had infiltrated [[Bowser|King Bowser Koopa]]'s headquarters.


As the Mario Bros. head out in search of the [[Mask Gate]] to "World 2-1", Mario and Luigi each make an effort to remember one of the two numbers. Back at Bowser's Castle, a Snifit tries to ready his Shyguy army for combat by giving them Stupid Bombs, saying the bombs are perfectly safe as long as they aren't dropped. The Snifit promptly hears an "uh-oh!", followed by a Stupid Bomb being dropped and detonated, dousing everyone present in its intelligence-lowering gas. As the Snifit and the Shyguys begin to party, Mario and Luigi appear in the room; the Snifit mistakes them for party guests, and gives them half-a-dozen Stupid Bombs as presents. The brothers thank the Snifit and walk away, with some of the bombs exploding on them soon after.
At Bowser's throne room, Toad, disguised as a [[Shy Guy]], listens in on a presentation, attended by Bowser, [[Fryguy]] and a Snifit, after delivering Bowser's [[Koopa-Kola]], which was the wrong brand, much to Bowser's frustration. Toad learns from the presenter, a red robed [[Snifit]], that the [[Stupid Bomb]] is ready and that the device will make anyone "reaaaaally stupid for hours".


Later, as the Snifit reports to Bowser, the Koopa King is initially furious at the waste of weapons, but his anger turns to glee upon realizing that the stupified Mario and Luigi might set off all the bombs they managed to take back to [[Mushroom Kingdom|Mushroom Land]], rendering most of the population idiotic. Bowser then leads the Snifit to another area, where he reveals the "[[Smart Bomb]]s", which he plans to use in order to counteract the Stupid Bombs and make the Shyguy troops smart again. The curious Snifit grabs a Smart Bomb which suddenly explodes in his hands, and becomes super-intelligent, complete with an {{wp|Square academic cap|Oxford cap}}; the Snifit then immediately usurps Bowser from his position as king by springing one of the Koopa King's own trap doors on him, dumping Bowser into the [[Fryguy Kindergarten]] where he is subsequently crowded by several overly-enthusiastic Fryguys.
After the Snifit presents the Stupid Bomb, Toad is discovered to be a spy accidentally by Bowser. Running from Bowser, Toad asks the Snifit to give him the Stupid Bomb, the Snifit naively does so. Toad manages to escape Bowser's throne room when Bowser, for some odd reason, thinks that the Shy Guy costume left behind by Toad is an actual Shy Guy.


While the Snifit proceeds to figure out his next course of action, back in the Mushroom Kingdom war room the effects of the Stupid Bomb are beginning to wear off; Princess Peach exclaims that she is slowly feeling brighter, and King Toadstool thinks this means that light bills are lowering. As Toad, Princess Toadstool and Wooster compile a list of people who think King Toadstool is stupid, Mario and Luigi burst into the room with their remaining Stupid Bombs. Wooster immediately warns the two to be careful, but the bombs explode before they can do anything, and render the entire group stupid again. The last panels of the comic show the [[Koopa Kingdom]], where the genius Snifit tries to re-train the Shyguys, who ignore him and decide to slam multiple Stupid Bombs together to see how big an explosion they can make.
Back in the war room, Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Wooster are debating as to whether attack Bowser when Toad bursts into the room. Unfortunately, Toad accidentally trips and drops the Stupid Bomb, causing it to explode.

Doused in the gas of the Stupid Bomb, everyone present, except King Toadstool, is instantly made dumber. A dopey Mario and Luigi, gaining permission from King Toadstool, decide to go out and attack Bowser's army single-handedly. Mario and Luigi then jump out the war room window and head toward a nearby [[Hawkmouth]] in order to get to "World 2-1".

==Trivia==
Meanwhile, a Snifit is currently preparing his Shy Guy army for combat by giving them Stupid Bombs, saying the bombs are perfectly safe, as long as they aren't dropped; soon after saying this, the Snifit hears an unerving "uh-oh!" from the crowd of Shy Guys. Before anything can be done, a dropped Stupid Bomb explodes, dousing everyone present in its intelligence-lowering gas.
*On Wooster's list of people who think King Toadstool is dumb, the names [[Link]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Mother Brain]], [[Little Mac]], [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]], Mario, Luigi, [[Dirk Drain-Head]], [[List of implied people#Nestor|Nestor]], and [[Wart]] can be seen.
*Though a [[Goomba]] and multiple [[Toad (species)|Toads]] appear on the cover, no Goombas are seen in the actual story, and Wooster and Toad are the only Toads to appear.

As the recently-made-stupid Shy Guys begin to party, Mario and Luigi appear. The Snifit, mistaking Mario and Luigi for party guests, gives them half-a-dozen Stupid Bombs as presents. Thanking the Snifit, Mario and Luigi walk away, when suddenly, the bombs explode.

Later, the Snifit is reporting what happened to Bowser, who is at first angered but then happy, saying that the stupified Mario and Luigi are probably going to set-off all the bombs they managed to take back to [[Mushroom Kingdom|Mushroom Land]], making the population idiotic. Bowser then proceeds to show the Snifit his "[[Smart Bomb]]s", which will counteract the effects of the Stupid Bombs, making all the Shy Guys smart again. The Snifit, curious, grabs a Smart Bomb, the bomb proceeds to explode in the Snifit's hands, making him super-intelligent. (It also inexplicably gives him a hat.)
 
The Snifit proceeds to usurp Bowser of his kingship and dump him into the [[Fryguy Kindergarten]], where Bowser is subsequently crowded by several overly-enthusiastic Fryguys. The Snifit proceeds to to try and think of what he should do next.
 
At the Mushroom Kingdom war room, the effects of the Stupid Bomb are beggining to wear-off Toad, Princess Toadstool and Wooster, who proceeds to make a list of people who thinks King Toadstool (who believes that Peach's use of the expression "I'm feeling brighter" means lighting bills are lowering) is stupid. As Wooster writes, Mario and Luigi burst into the room with their Stupid Bombs. As Wooster begins to warn Mario and Luigi to be careful of the Stupid Bombs, they suddenly explode, apparently making everyone dumb once again. The narrator wonders if this means that the Mushroom Kingdom is doomed.
 
And then he answers his question with "Nah," as back at the [[Koopa Kingdom]], the Snifit begins attempting to train the Shy Guys, unfortunately, the Shy Guys, still plagued by the effects of the Stupid Bombs, simply ignore him and decide to do an experiment; slamming multiple Stupid Bombs together to see how big an explosion they can make...
