Becoming exhausted from the heat of the desert, Mario suddenly sees a waterfall and rushes to it; only to discover that the waterfall is a mirage and that the camel has been licking him repeatedly, much to his disgust. Princess Toadstool proceeds to tell Mario to ignore all mirages, which manifest themselves as giant food items as the gang treks through the arid landscape. | ||
Suddenly, Toad sees a swimming pool, which everyone rushes to, only to discover the water in the pool is actually a large blue trampoline, which bounces them into a nearby palace with a flip-off roof that allows the gang to fly through the top, causing them to land before the presence of an overweight Sultan. Princess Toadstool, over-hearing a man brag about how his trap has brought more people to his palace, demands to know who the man is. The man proceeds to say that he is [[Sultan Pasbah]] and says that the Princess, along with Mario, Luigi and Toad, are now his slaves. Hearing this, Mario, Luigi (who is enclosed in a vase), Toad and the Princess begin to flee from the palace throne room, only to be stopped by a guard. Sultan Pasbah then tells the palace guard to transport Mario, Luigi and Toad to the slave quarters, and attempts to riddle the Princess into joining his harem, much to her horror. | Suddenly, Toad sees a swimming pool, which everyone rushes to, only to discover the water in the pool is actually a large blue trampoline, which bounces them into a nearby palace with a flip-off roof that allows the gang to fly through the top, causing them to land before the presence of an overweight Sultan.

While being transported to their cell, Mario, Luigi and Toad notice that among the treasure horde of Sultan Pasbah is Aladdin's Lamp. Mario proceeds to come up with a plan: he, Luigi and Toad sneak out to get the lamp and use its power to save Princess Toadstool and escape. Managing to sneak out of their cell after their guard has gone to sleep, Mario, Luigi and Toad find Aladdin's Lamp, only to see it's inside a glass containment. Taking out his pizza cutter, Mario easily slices through the glass and grabs Aladdin's Lamp and goes on to tell Luigi about the [[Genie (The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!)|genie]] that supposedly inhabits the lamp, to which Luigi who doesn't believe in such a myth. | |||

The Sultan responds that the Princess is more trouble than she's worth and states that he put out an advertisement for her in the ''Harem Recycler'' magazine, planning on selling her to the highest bidder as he takes a bite of tofu. Overhearing what Sultan Pasbah plans to do with the Princess, Mario and Luigi rush off to find a place to summon the genie of the lamp (while Toad oddly remains until the scene changes). | ||
Venturing onto one of the palace's balconies, Mario rubs the lamp which emits a loud shriek and manages to summon the genie, who turns out to be an old and very obnoxious woman who demands to know what Mario and Luigi want immediately, with the once-doubting Luigi convinced that the genie is true as the genie scoffs at Luigi's remark. As the genie begins struggling to get out of her lamp, which is now heavily stuck on her left foot, Toad appears to tell Mario and Luigi that King Koopa has shown up to buy Princess Toadstool, much to the genie's surprise. As King Koopa begins haggling with Sultan Pasbah over the price of the Princess, Mario humbly begs the genie to save her. Attempting to use a magic spell, the genie only succeeds in creating a horrific odor, temporarily causing the bid to cease. Suddenly, King Koopa zooms out of a palace window on a [[magic carpet]] (with a [[Cobrat]] hood ornament) with Princess Toadstool as his captive as she cries for help from her beloved heroes. | Venturing onto one of the palace's balconies, Mario rubs the lamp which emits a loud shriek and manages to summon the genie, who turns out to be an old and very obnoxious woman who demands to know what Mario and Luigi want immediately, with the once-doubting Luigi convinced that the genie is true as the genie scoffs at Luigi's remark.
