==Plot synopsis==
==Plot synopsis==
The episode begins at [[Bowser's Castle|Kastle Koopa]], as [[Bowser|King Koopa]] marches [[Roy|Bully]], [[Wendy|Kootie Pie]], [[Morton|Big Mouth]], [[Iggy|Hop]], and [[Lemmy|Hip Koopa]] outside his castle, instructing them to clean up the [[Koopa trash|assorted trash and garbage]] surrounding the castle, else they will not be allowed to perform any mischievous deeds for a week. As Koopa leaves, Bully quickly hops into a nearby hammock, telling the others to get to work. Angry at his slacking off, Big Mouth threatens to inform Koopa of Bully's procrastination, though he is unaffected. Just then, Kootie Pie picks up a tin can and tosses it aside, claiming she has broken a nail and is too magnificent to work anyway. Bully hears this and insults her, claiming he thought she was part of the garbage. Kootie retaliates, throwing a handful of sludge into his face. He proceeds to shake it off and picks up a [[Green Shell]], tossing it at her though hitting Big Mouth. At this time, Koopa mentions he hopes they are busy cleaning up. Bully claims they are and proceeds tossing some of it into a [[Warp Pipe]].
At [[Bowser's Castle|Kastle Koopa]], [[Bowser|King Koopa]] himself is in the middle of marching [[Roy Koopa|Bully]], [[Wendy O. Koopa|Kootie Pie]], [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Big Mouth]], [[Iggy Koopa|Hop]], and [[Lemmy Koopa|Hip Koopa]] outside his castle, which is surrounded by [[Magic Garbage|assorted trash and garbage]]. While the [[Koopalings]] stand at attention, Koopa informs them that, unless they get rid of all the junk surrounding the castle, they will be banned from doing anything mischievous for an entire week.
[[File:BullyTrash.png|thumb|Bully getting rid of the trash.]]


Meanwhile, at [[Peach's Castle|Princess Toadstool's Castle]], as [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are walking in the garden, they are hit with the garbage falling out of an overhead pipe. Eventually, garbage stops spewing, though the garden is ruined. When the princess asks who would do such a thing, Mario picks up a statue of King Koopa in response. As they ponder what to do, Luigi sarcastically suggests using a [[magic wand]] to clear the rubbish. Mario declares this a good idea and decides to take the wand of one of the Koopalings. They then jump through the Warp Pipe to do so. Back at Kastle Koopa, the five aforementioned Koopalings show Koopa the completely cleared castle grounds, with both Big Mouth and Kootie Pie claiming they contributed the most. Suddenly, the group emerge from the Warp Pipe outside the castle as Koopa and the Koopalings chase after them. Luigi instructs them to hide in a suit of armor they pass. Not only is this successful, Mario is able to swipe Hip's wand as they pass.
As Koopa leaves the Koopalings, Bully, not wanting to work, jumps into a nearby hammock and begins to relax while telling the others to start cleaning. Angered by Bully's display of laziness, Big Mouth begins to bad mouth him and threatens to tell Koopa on him, which Bully is completely indifferent to. As Big Mouth and Bully argue, Kootie Pie picks up an old tin can, only to throw it aside, claiming she has broken a nail and also exclaiming she is too magnificent to be doing any kind of work. Hearing Kootie Pie's complaints, Bully approaches her and insults her, claiming she is not beautiful and that he thought she was a part of the garbage. Kootie Pie, highly offended, subsequently throws a handful of cold sludge on Bully's face, to which Bully retaliates to by trying to hit Kootie Pie with a nearby [[Green Shell]], only to hit the nearby Big Mouth instead. As a dazed Big Mouth shakes his head, Koopa's voice echoes from nearby, telling the Koopalings that he hopes they are getting rid of the junk around the castle. Hearing Koopa, Bully slyly claims that they are and begins throwing trash into a nearby [[Warp Pipe]].
[[File:BullyTrash.png|thumb|right|Bully getting rid of the trash.]]


As the group begins to flee from the castle, they are noticed by some of the Koopalings, who also notice Hip's wand being in their possession. Mario, Luigi, Toad and the princess all manage to collect [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]] from nearby blocks. With their newly acquired [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon Suit]]s, they fly away into the distance, as Koopa decides to get his [[Airship|Doomship]] and follow them. Back in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool continue to fly through the air, as the Doomship has already caught up with them, firing [[Bob-omb]]s. After successfully nailing Luigi in the tail one, Koopa orders [[Paragoomba|Para-Goomba]]s to attack them. As Toad and the princess manage to evade and knock out two of them, they notice the garbage surrounding their castle has started to emit an odor they worry will spread to the rest of the kingdom.
At [[Peach's Castle|Princess Toadstool's Castle]], [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are walking in the castle's garden; as they walk, they find themselves bombarded with a stream of garbage, which is being dumped from a nearby Warp Pipe. Eventually, garbage stops pouring from the Warp Pipe and, as Princess Toadstool inquires as to who would pour garbage into a beautiful garden, Mario finds a statuette of Koopa, inscribed with the sentence "World's Repulsivest Reptile," in the garbage pile. As Mario surmises that Koopa is behind this garbage dumping, Princess Toadstool laments that all this garbage could choke the life out of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Hearing Princess Toadstool, Luigi asks what they should do and sarcastically suggests using a [[magic wand]]. Thinking Luigi's comment to be a good idea, Mario formulates the plan of obtaining a Koopaling's magic wand and using it to send all the surrounding garbage back to Kastle Koopa. After explaining this, Mario, along with Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad, jump into the Warp Pipe that deposited the garbage.


As they land atop the garbage, Mario states an incantation which collects all of the garbage into a giant ball, though the wand is also absorbed. Mario attempts to grab the wand back and is stopped by Luigi, preventing him from getting sucked in as well. At this, the ball of garbage is launched out of the castle and completely onto the Doomship, weighing it down and crashing it along with all of the rubbish back at Kastle Koopa. Big Mouth attempts to parse the garbage as recent, though Koopa is not fooled, and instructs all of them to get rid of it once more, making sure it will not return.
Back at Kastle Koopa, Big Mouth, Bully, Kootie Pie, Hip, and Hop are in the midst of showing King Koopa that they got rid of all the garbage, with both Big Mouth and Kootie Pie claiming that they were the ones to get rid of the most trash; as Koopa tells Kootie Pie and Big Mouth that he does not care who got rid of the most garbage, he notices Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool exiting a nearby Warp Pipe and quickly orders the Koopalings to capture them. Fleeing from Koopa and the Koopalings, Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool enter the castle; inside, Luigi notices a large suit of armor and tells Mario, Toad, and Princess Toadstool to hide behind it with him. Doing so, the group goes unnoticed by Koopa and the Koopalings, with Mario grabbing Hip's wand as he passes by.


[[File:Mariowand.png|thumb|Mario zapping away the garbage.]]
With Hip's magic wand in their possession, Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool flee from the castle, only to be noticed by Koopa, Bully, and Hip, who also notice Mario is clutching Hip's magic wand. As Bowser, Bully, and Hip chase them, Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool, who, after finding some [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]] in some [[Brick Block|brick]]s and a [[Note Block|Jump Block]], gain [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon Suit]]s and quickly fly away. Seeing the group flying into the distance, an enraged Koopa exclaims that he will get his [[Airship|Doomship]] and hunt them down.
At Princess Toadstool's Castle, as Mario, Luigi, and the princess walk inside, she mentions she wonders whether they have learned their lesson from the experience. At this, Toad appears and gives Luigi his [[Plumber's Periscope]], suggesting they check on Koopa to ensure this. Mario decides to do so, looking into the periscope through a Warp Pipe only to find [[Sledge Bro]]thers tossing more boxes of garbage into the pipe. Mario concludes they have not learned after all and informs the others of this. The princess instructs them to go out and stop them while she and Toad stay to guard the castle. The brothers arrive just as Bully is instructing them to continue dumping the trash into the pipe, becoming exhausted from doing so. Mario and Luigi decide to look down the pipe to see where the trash is headed - however, they are accidentally dropped into the pipe by the Sledge Brothers, who do not notice them hidden among the trash in the boxes.


Falling out of the pipe, Mario and Luigi find themselves in [[Brooklyn]]. As litter continues falling from the skies, the brothers use trash can lids to shield themselves as panicked citizens pass by. It is then Luigi notices a tail resembling that of Koopa's around the corner. As he and Luigi yank the tail, however, they discover it is not Koopa himself, rather a lookalike in business attire, who simply wanders away, moaning "Koopa" in a monotone voice. Seeing a nearby cab driver pick up some of the garbage and mutating into another lookalike immediately after, they realize the trash is turning the citizens into [[Koopa Zombie]]s. They rush into the city hall of [[New York City]] for the [[Mayor of New York City|mayor]], only to realize he too is about to become a zombie. Upon realizing the trash can spread to all of the [[Earth|real world]], the brothers hurry to clean it up.
In the Mushroom Kingdom, which has multiple, large piles of trash covering it, Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool continue to fly through the air, only to notice the Doomship, is chasing them, shooting volleys of [[Bob-omb]]s. After successfully hitting Luigi with a Bob-omb (though he does not lose his Raccoon powers), Koopa orders his [[Paragoomba|Para-Goomba]] minions to attack them; after he and Princess Toadstool dodge a pair of Para-Goombas, Toad notices that the trash that has been dumped in Princess Toadstool's garden has begun to emit a horrible smell, which is beginning to spread to the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom, which Princess Toadstool believes will be decimated by the horrid odor of Koopa's garbage.


While on the Doomship, Bully, Kootie Pie and Big Mouth inform Koopa of the power the garbage has on the inhabitants of the Real World. Big Mouth begin to rant about how the want Koopa to be their leader, only for him to have a can stuffed onto his head. As he struggles to remove it, Koopa orders them to continue dumping trash into the real world, which he intends to conquer. Upon arriving in the real world, King Koopa orders the zombie hoard to attack Mario and Luigi, as shown on a banner. To assist them in doing so, he dumps a load of garbage, along with certain weapons, such as [[Blooper|Bloober]]s. The hoard proceeds to notice and chase after the brothers, alongside several other enemies, such as [[Bob-omb]]s, [[Dry Bones]], and [[Fire Snake|Firesnake]]s. A montage ensues in which the brothers are chased through various locations, Mario through a sewer and Luigi into the subway station. Both of them then hide in a pile of garbage, evading the hoard entirely.
As King Koopa, through a megaphone, orders Mario to give back Hip's magic wand, claiming it is rightfully his, Mario, after saying he will, says an incantation and zaps the nearby garbage in Princess Toadstool's garden with the wand. After being zapped, the garbage begins to be sucked together into a giant ball, which also absorbs the magic wand after pulling it out of Mario's hand. After reaching its maximum size, the ball of garbage flings itself at the Doomship, hitting the vessel with enough force to fling it all the way back to Dark Land. After his Doomship and the ball of garbage crash into his castle, King Koopa, digging himself out of a pile of waste, instantly tells the nearby Big Mouth to shut up when the talkative Koopaling begins to say how neat all the garbage is, not realizing it is the same garbage from before. After quieting Big Mouth, Koopa tells him and Bully to get rid of the garbage again and to this time, put it somewhere where it will not come back.
[[File:Mariowand.png|thumb|right|Mario zapping away the garbage.]]


[[File:Koopamario.png|thumb|Mario transformed into a Koopa Zombie.]]
In Princess Toadstool's Castle, Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool are going on another walk, with Toadstool saying she hopes Koopa learned his lesson about keeping his garbage to himself. As the princess says this, Toad suddenly appears, carrying a box with Luigi's [[Plumber's Periscope]] in it. After Luigi grabs the periscope, Toad says that he should check up on King Koopa, which Mario proceeds to do, using Luigi's Plumber's Periscope to look into a nearby Warp Pipe which leads to Kastle Koopa. Through this Warp Pipe, Mario sees several [[Sledge Bro]]thers unloading boxes of garbage into a nearby Warp Pipe, as Bully, Kootie Pie, and Big Mouth sit nearby. After retracting Luigi's Plumber's Periscope, Mario informs Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool that the Koopalings are unloading their trash into someone else's land now. Hearing Mario say this, Princess Toadstool tells him and Luigi to go and stop the Koopalings, while she and Toad stay behind to guard the Mushroom Kingdom.
After leaving the pile, Mario laments about Koopa, not realizing he has sprouted a tail resembling that of Koopa's. Luigi notices and informs him, to Mario's panic. Mario declares they must get rid of all the trash before he is completely transformed. Ruling out magic, the brothers agree on one solution. Meanwhile, Koopa begins to fire his [[Crud Cannon]] to launch garbage all over Brooklyn atop his Doomship, hovering over the Statue of Liberty, modified to resemble him. As the cannon spews rubbish throughout the city, various creatures are transformed (turning birds into [[Paragoomba]]s and fish into [[Spiny Cheep Cheep]]s), including Mario, while he and Luigi are working on their [[Trash Smasher]]. Before Mario is completely transformed, he asks Luigi to complete the Trash Smasher.


[[File:THOSE MARIO BROTHERS ARE SUPER.png|thumb|The Statue of Liberty commenting on Mario and Luigi.]]
At Kastle Koopa, Bully, after directing Sledge Brothers to dump garbage into a Warp Pipe, yawns and exclaims that it is hard work ordering the Sledge Brothers around. Nearby, Mario and Luigi, from behind a heap of trash, decide to look into the Warp Pipe to see where all the Koopalings' garbage is being dumped. Hiding in some boxes of garbage, Mario and Luigi are accidentally dropped into the Warp Pipe by some Sledge Brothers.
With the Trash Smasher complete, Luigi boards the cockpit and proceeds to vacuum garbage throughout the city, recycling it into new appliances while reverting the residents to their human selves, including Mario. However, this appears to be for naught as Koopa resumes dumping garbage over Brooklyn. Determined to stop him for good, the Trash Smasher is modified to fly, allowing Mario and Luigi to board it and chase after the Doomship. They are successfully able to chase him out of Brooklyn, as the regular [[Statue of Liberty]] comments on them.
 
After being deposited from the Warp Pipe, Mario and Luigi find themselves in a garbage filled street, which Mario instantly recognizes as being a part of [[Brooklyn]]. As litter falls from the sky, Mario and Luigi grab a pair of trashcan lids and use them as makeshift umbrellas. Looking around, Luigi sees what appears to be the wriggling tail of King Koopa sticking out from behind a corner; rushing to this twitching tail, Mario and Luigi grab onto it and begin tugging on it, only to notice that the tail is not attached to Koopa, rather a lookalike wearing a business suit and carrying a briefcase. As Mario and Luigi stare, shocked, at this Koopa doppelgänger, the creature, apparently not noticing Mario and Luigi, wonders away, moaning "Koopa" in a monotone voice.
 
Afterward, Luigi, seeing a nearby cab driver touch some of the Koopaling's garbage and mutate into a Koopa lookalike, realizes that all of the Koopalings' trash is changing people into [[Koopa Zombie]]s. The brothers rush to the city hall of [[New York City]], where the [[Mayor of New York City|mayor]], who Mario and Luigi believe can help them, resides. Reaching the door of the city hall, Mario and Luigi are shocked to see that the mayor of New York has been changed into a Koopa Zombie, who quickly flees the scene and joins his zombified brethren. Realizing that the mutating trash of the Koopalings can spread to all of the [[Earth|real world]], Mario and Luigi begin to collect with plungers and bags.
 
Elsewhere on the Doomship, the Koopas learn about the hidden power the garbage has in the [[Real World]]. Seeing the zombies on the Doomship's monitors, Bully points out to King Koopa the various, chanting zombies while Big Mouth begins to rant about how they want Koopa to be their leader, only to be quieted by Bowser, who stuffs a can on Big Mouth's head. As Big Mouth struggles to remove the can from his head, Koopa orders him, Bully, and Kootie Pie to continue dumping garbage in the real world, which he intends to conquer.
 
Having traveled from Dark Land into the Real World in his Doomship, King Koopa, through a megaphone, orders the zombies, after showing them a picture of Mario and Luigi, to attack them; to aid the zombies in their mission, Koopa opens a hatch on his Doomship and dumps a load of garbage and weaponry (as well as [[Blooper|Bloober]]s) on them. Noticing Mario and Luigi nearby, the zombies charge after them, while unleashing various monsters, such as Bloobers, [[Fire Snake|Firesnake]]s, Bob-ombs and [[Dry Bones]]; after being chased through the sewers and across a rooftop, Mario and Luigi manage to escape the attacking zombies by hiding in an alley, under some garbage.
 
After leaving the pile of garbage, Mario says that this is another fine mess Koopa has gotten him and Luigi into. As Mario says this, he begins to sprout a Koopa tail, which a shocked Luigi notices and reveals to him. A panicked Mario exclaims that they need to get rid of all the garbage in Brooklyn, let alone the whole city, before he fully mutates into a Koopa Zombie himself. Luigi asks him how, saying when magic was used, the garbage only came back worse than ever; after Luigi says this, Mario gets an idea, which Luigi seems to get as well.
 
[[File:Koopamario.png|thumb|left|Mario transformed into a Koopa Zombie.]] At the Statue of Liberty, which has been warped to resemble King Koopa, Koopa, aboard his Doomship, has begun to use his new [[Crud Cannon]] to launch garbage all over Brooklyn, as he plans to strike Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx next; as the Crud Cannon spews garbage across the entire city, mutating humans into Koopa Zombies, gulls into Para-Goombas, and fish into [[Spiny Cheep-Cheep]]s, Mario and Luigi work frantically on their [[Trash Smasher]]. As he works on the Trash Smasher, Mario is hit by a wayward ball of garbage from the cannon, which fully mutates him into a Koopa Zombie. Before his transformation is complete, Mario tells Luigi that he has to finish constructing the Trash Smasher.
 
As Luigi tells the now fully-zombified Mario to hang in there, he enters the cockpit of the Trash Smasher and uses it to suck up all the garbage in the entire city, which the Trash Smasher recycles into new appliances, turning passing Koopa Zombies back into people. After passing by Mario with the Trash Smasher, returning him to normal, Luigi exits the device and greets Mario; unfortunately, Luigi's trash cleaning efforts appear to be in vain, as Koopa simply begins to dump more garbage from his Doomship on to Brooklyn.
 
[[File:THOSE MARIO BROTHERS ARE SUPER.png|thumb|right|The Statue of Liberty commenting on Mario & Luigi.]]
Deciding to stop Koopa once and for all, Mario and Luigi modify the Trash Smasher to make it flight-capable, sprouting helicopter blades, then board it, take flight and begin to fly towards the Doomship. Seeing Mario, Luigi, and the Trash Smasher approaching, Koopa panics and begins trying to fly away in his Doomship, only to have Mario and Luigi catch up with him and begin to chase him out of Brooklyn, with the nearby Statue of Liberty commenting "Those Mario brothers are super!", ending the episode.
