[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], and [[Toad]] have travelled to [[Jungleland]], which they are in the midst of passing through as means of a shortcut. As Mario brags to Luigi about Jungleland not being such a dangerous place, Luigi cowers over the idea that there may be ferocious beasts that could attack them. Toad also suggests that Jungleland could even be filled with lions and tigers. [[Bowser|King Koopa]] then cuts in and adds [[Bowser's Minions|Koopas]] to Toad's list, revealing himself to Mario's group in the process. Now wearing a hunting outfit, King Koopa explains that he wanted to go hunting, and that it is currently open season on plumbers. Mario demands for King Koopa to leave them alone, but he instead directs their attention to a flying [[Albatoss]]. | [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], and [[Toad]] have travelled to [[Jungleland]], which they are in the midst of passing through as means of a shortcut.

As the Albatoss swoops down from the air, Mario tells his friends to get down. While Mario, Princess Toadstool and Toad physically lie down on the ground, Luigi starts to dance. When Mario questions Luigi as to why he is dancing, Luigi explains that he is "gettin' down. | As the Albatoss swoops down from the air, Mario tells his friends to get down. While Mario, Princess Toadstool and Toad physically lie down on the ground, Luigi starts to dance. When Mario questions Luigi as to why he is dancing, Luigi explains that he is "gettin' down". Somewhat puzzled by Luigi's actions, Mario instead opts to deal with the Albatoss himself, and directs his friends to hide behind some bushes. The Albatoss then swoops down and grabs Mario in his talons before he can react, and proceeds to lift the plumber into the air. With Mario in its grasp, the Albatoss flies over to King Koopa, who jumps onto its back. | ||
The Albatoss begins to fly upwards, while King Koopa pretends to speak like an airplane pilot, explaining that the flight is "non-stop 'til you drop. | The Albatoss begins to fly upwards, while King Koopa pretends to speak like an airplane pilot, explaining that the flight is "non-stop 'til you drop". Not one to give up, Mario smacks the Albatoss's head with his plunger, causing the bird to lose control and soar downwards. Although the Albatoss manages to avoid hitting the ground, it instead flies deeper into the jungle, prompting Princess Toadstool to remind Luigi and Toad that they need to save Mario. | ||
Meanwhile, in a nearby house that has been built within the branches of a tree, [[June and Ward]], a gorilla couple, lament to each other that their treehouse is too quiet, and that they want to hear the pitter-patter of little ape feet. Their conversation is suddenly interrupted by the squawking of the Albatoss, whom June mistakes for [[Stork|Mr. Stork]]. The two apes run out to their front porch and see the Albatoss, whom Ward concludes really is the stork. Before flying off with King Koopa, the Albatoss drops Mario headfirst onto June and Ward's porch, causing Mario to lose his memory. | Meanwhile, in a nearby house that has been built within the branches of a tree, [[June and Ward]], a gorilla couple, lament to each other that their treehouse is too quiet, and that they want to hear the pitter-patter of little ape feet.

When Mario opens his eyes, he displays signs of amnesia and proceeds to ask all sorts of simple questions as he sees June and Ward looking down at him. When Mario asks June and Ward as to who they are, June states that they are the luckiest apes in the world, and Ward explains that they are his mom and pop. When June asks Ward as to what they should name their new child, Mario attempts to say his name, but cannot get further than "Ma. | When Mario opens his eyes, he displays signs of amnesia and proceeds to ask all sorts of simple questions as he sees June and Ward looking down at him.

When June asks Ward as to what they should name their new child, Mario attempts to say his name, but cannot get further than "Ma". June figures that his name should be "Marzan", and Ward welcomes "Marzan" into their family. Not knowing any better, Mario decides to go along. | ||
June demonstrates to Mario on how to squeeze a [[banana]] out of its peel and into her mouth. Mario then does the same thing with an armful of bananas all in one go. June then gets the impression that Mario has a big appetite for someone his size. Later, Ward directs Mario to swing down from a tree on a vine, which he immediately succeeds in doing. Mario then plays around with some monkeys, who are frightened off when a lion approaches them. The lion roars at Mario, and the two of them proceed to get into a fight. In the end, Mario manages to tie up the lion using his own tail, despite having the parts of his clothing, including the right strap of his overalls and his shirt ripped off in the process, leaving only his torn overalls. As the lion hops off in defeat, Mario bangs his chest, proclaiming himself as "Marzan, King of the Jungle. | June demonstrates to Mario on how to squeeze a [[banana]] out of its peel and into her mouth.

While swinging through some vines, Mario crashes into a female monkey. After they fall to the ground, the monkey develops a crush on Mario, who is not really interested in her. After being kissed by the monkey, Mario backs off and soon finds himself with his back against a tree. However, Mario is saved when June calls him home for dinner, and he responds with a loud howl. | While swinging through some vines, Mario crashes into a female monkey.

The sandwich itself goes flying into the air, and Mario rushes to climb down a vine and rescue it in midair. Hanging from the vine, Mario grabs the sandwich in his mouth. Ward then points out that he is their Marzan, King of the Jungle, and Princess Toadstool fears that Mario thinks he is Marzan once again. As Mario chews away at the sandwich, Luigi tells Princess Toadstool not to worry, because Mario knows who he is, and that he has always gone ape for meatballs. | The sandwich itself goes flying into the air, and Mario rushes to climb down a vine and rescue it in midair.
