==Plot synopsis==
==Plot synopsis==
The episode begins in the living room of a [[Brooklyn]] home, where the [[Junior's mom and dad|mom and dad]], who are getting ready to go out for the night, are waiting for a babysitter to arrive to look after their son, [[Junior (The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3)|Junior]], who breaks two vases and lets the [[Kitty|family cat]] take the blame.
The episode begins in the living room of a [[Brooklyn]] home, where the [[Junior's mom and dad|mom and dad]], who are getting ready to go out for the night, are waiting for a babysitter to arrive to look after their bratty son, [[Junior (The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3)|Junior]], who foolishly breaks two vases and lets the [[Kitty|family cat]] take the blame.


At that moment, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] come out of a [[Warp Pipe]] underneath the kitchen sink and realize that they must have taken the wrong pipe. When Mario looks out the window, he sees the [[Brooklyn Bridge]] in the background, and realizes where they now are.

Mario and Luigi are then spotted by the mom, who assumes that they are Junior's babysitters. Mario and Luigi are unable to talk their way out of babysitting Junior and the parents, who are desperate to get going, hire the pair on the spot. They ask that Junior take a bath before they return. As soon as the parents leave, Junior asks if they can play hide and seek. The Mario brothers barely agree when Junior says they are "it."
Mario and Luigi are then spotted by the mom, who assumes that they are Junior's babysitters. Mario and Luigi are unable to talk their way out of babysitting Junior and the parents, who are desperate to get going, dump Junior on the Bros., telling them to give him a bath, and they leave. Right away, Junior insists on playing hide-and-seek, and demands that Mario and Luigi be "it".

Junior goes to hide under the sink and crawls into the Warp Pipe, which warps him to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], where he takes an instant liking to the bizarre atmosphere of the place. Several [[Boomerang Bro]]thers attack Junior with a boomerang, but Junior manages to catch it, throw it, and slice a tree in half with it, which crushes the attackers. Junior is then spotted by [[Ludwig|Kooky von Koopa]], [[Roy|Bully Koopa]], and [[Larry|Cheatsy Koopa]]. When they learn Junior was hiding from the Mario Bros., they convince him that they are his friends, since they are all enemies of the Mario Bros.

Mario and Luigi arrive in the Mushroom Kingdom to look for Junior and hear him calling for help. They see Junior riding piggyback on Bully's back and assume the Koopas have abducted him, although it was just a ploy to lead them to some attacking [[Ptooie]]s, which they have to fight off.

Meanwhile, Mario and Luigi escape from the rising lava by chiseling away at the wall. They then flee the volcano and spy upon the Koopalings laughing about what they just did. Mario realizes that Junior was used by the Koopas. The Bros. warp to the Pipe Maze, and deal with the enemies by dodging the Thwomps and stomping on the Boom Boom. Luigi then startles the Boo Diddlies by making a surprisingly scary face at them.

Meanwhile, Kooky starts to flood the Pipe Maze with lava, forcing the inhabitants, the Mario Bros. and Junior to flee. Mario and Luigi both find [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]], transforming them into [[Raccoon Mario]] and Raccoon Luigi. They then grab ahold of Junior and fly into a Warp Pipe to escape from the lava, returning to the Mushroom Kingdom.

Mario points out that the volcano is about to erupt, so he, Luigi, and Junior set up a boulder on a makeshift catapult out of a tree.

==Animation and continuity errors==
==Animation and continuity errors==
*In the original version, when [[Roy|Bully]] says that the lava will finish the Mario Bros. and [[Junior (The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3)|Junior]], his voice is deeper than normal.
*Mario and Luigi's warping comes from above in the episode's start, but when Junior enters the Warp Pipe, it is seen horizontally and touching the ground.
*At the beginning of the episode, the lenses in the glasses on [[Junior's mom and dad|Junior's father]] briefly disappear.
*When Junior is creating a plan to fool the Mario Bros., Cheatsy's wristbands have no spikes.
*When Junior balances the vases on his head, the vases flash.
*When Kooky is telling his brothers about filling the Pipe Maze with more lava, Bully's shell is green.
*When the vases shatter on the floor, the shards are blue, but in the next scene, they turn green like the carpet.
*When Mario and Luigi return to the real world and enter the bathroom, Mario has Luigi's colors for a few moments.
*When Junior's parents notice the vases shattering, the bracelet on Junior's mother is missing.
*When Bully says "''Yeah! This oughta parboil those pain-in-the-tail plumbers AND their little Brooklyn brat!''", his voice is slightly deeper than usual. Also, he did not know the Marios had escaped into the pipe maze at this point.
*At the beginning of the episode, the [[Warp Pipe]] under the sink is vertical, but when Junior enters it, it is horizontal.
*When Mario pushes Luigi out of the little rectangle he made on a wall from the volcano, the lava reaches Mario's waist but he doesn't get burned.
*In several scenes, [[Mario]]'s hair is colored black like [[Luigi]]'s instead of brown.
*When the Ptooie first appears, its head is green when it is supposed to be red. This happens again a few scenes after. Mario is also heard saying Ptooies, but only one is seen.
*When Junior's mother is glad that the Mario Bros. have arrived, her dress turns completely light-green.
*When Junior, Mario, and Luigi see the lava in the Pipe Maze, Luigi somehow runs through the wall.
*When Junior's mother enters the living room when she is leaving, Mario is briefly layered over some stairs.
*After Junior gets hit with suds, his face seems to be clean already but then suds appear.
*In several scenes, Junior has four fingers on each hand instead of five.
*When Luigi grabs a Super Leaf, his hair disappears.
*When Junior says that he and the Mario Bros. should play hide-and-seek, the background is the kitchen instead of the living room.
*When the Koopalings are laughing for throwing Junior into the Pipe Maze, the lava in the pond is light blue (except in the pipes edges).
*As Junior runs off to explore the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], he is briefly layered over a stalk.
*When Raccoon Mario jumps in the boulder, his cap emblem is a very thin "M".
**In the same scene, the [[Boomerang Bro]]s are colored like [[Hammer Bro]]s, but revert to their original coloration in the next shot. When the tree falls on them, they are colored like Hammer Bros again.
*When Mario, Luigi and Junior are running to the bathroom, the house does not have any furniture. This could be because the shot was taken from an angle where the furniture could not be seen.
*After Junior says that the Mario Bros. will never find him in the Warp Pipe, his mouth moves, but no sound can be heard. This also happens when [[Ludwig|Kooky]] says he is filling the [[Underground Maze of Pipes|cave]] with lava.
*Mario's overalls turn green when he reaches the bathroom.
*When Bully introduces himself, his shell turns completely white.
*When Luigi cuts a rectangle in the volcano, he gets stuck trying to escape. Even though he is thinner than Mario, Mario made it through just fine.
*When Junior tells the [[Koopalings]] to fool the Mario Bros, the spikes on [[Larry|Cheatsy]]'s shackles are missing.
*When Junior is balancing the vases on his head, the vases are flashing.
*When Cheatsy says that this could be the start of a new friendship, his eyes overlap his snout.
*When Junior asks if he should yell again, his eyebrows disappear.
*When Mario and Luigi see the [[Ptooie]], its head is green instead of red. This happens again a few scenes later.
**In the same scene, Mario says "Ptooies" despite only one being present. This error is fixed in the Polish dub.
***Additionally, there are no branches on the ground, but when it starts shooting [[Spike Ball]]s at them, some branches appear.
*When Junior is thrown into the pipe, his shirt covers his undershirt.
*When escaping the volcano, Mario escapes without any problems, but Luigi becomes stuck, despite being thinner than Mario.
*When the Koopalings laugh after throwing Junior into the Pipe Maze, the lava in the pond is light-blue instead of orange.
*When the Mario Bros. start flipping towards the [[Boom Boom]], Mario disappears into thin air.
*When Kooky says he is filling the cave with lava, he is layered over some pipes, and shortly after, Bully is layered over Cheatsy while the rim of his shell turns the same color as his body.
*When Kooky talks to his brothers about filling the Pipe Maze with more lava, Bully's shell is green instead of pink.
*When Mario and his friends see lava in the Pipe Maze, Luigi is briefly layered over a wall.
*When Luigi grabs a [[Super Leaf]], his hair disappears.
*After Junior gets hit with debris, the debris briefly disappears.
*When Mario says that they have to plug the volcano, the screen freezes for a few seconds.
*When [[Raccoon Mario]] jumps on the boulder, the "M" on [[Mario Cap|his cap]] is white instead of red.
*When Mario moves the boulder onto the catapult, it scrapes against wood, but the sound is that of it scraping against metal.
*After Mario plugs the volcano, Luigi's sideburns disappear briefly.
*When Mario says Junior is not bad for a first-time plumber's helper, Luigi does not have a watch, but in the next shot, a watch appears.
*When Mario and his friends run to the bathroom, the house's furniture is missing.
*When Mario and Luigi enter the bathroom, Mario is colored like Luigi.
*When Mario places Junior into the bathtub, Luigi disappears for a few frames.
*The Latin American Spanish dub and Castilian Spanish re-dub titles incorrectly use the feminine plural form of ''niñero'' ("babysitter"), "niñeras," despite the babysitters in question, Mario and Luigi, being male; the correct form would be "niñeros."

==Notes==
==Trivia==
*[[Mario]]'s line about how he and [[Luigi]] "are plumbers, not babysitters" may be a reference to the famous "[http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/I'm_a_doctor,_not_a... I'm a doctor, not a...]"-catchphrase used by McCoy in {{wp|Star Trek}}. This would later be referenced again in the episode "[[Crimes R Us]]."
*This is the only episode of ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' in which the Koopas are not last seen failing or lamenting their failure.
