In the depths of space, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]] | In the depths of space, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are all aboard a [[Mario's rocketship|yellow spaceship]], which is currently traveling through a swarm of flaming meteors. Maneuvering past several meteors in his attempt to escape enemy [[Space Troopa]]s, minions of [[Bowser|King Koopa]], Mario fails to avoid one meteor, which strikes his spaceship. | ||
As Luigi, Toad | As Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool are knocked into a bulkhead of the spaceship by the impact of the meteor, Mario, regaining control of his spaceship, turns on his navigation system. Glancing at his activated navigation screen, Mario tells Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool that they are approaching the planet [[Quirk (planet)|Quirk]]; unfortunately, due to damage caused by the meteor striking his ship, Mario is forced to induce a crash landing on Quirk. | ||
As the spaceship begins to haphazardly approach Quirk, it steadily begins to break apart, losing fuel and its door; without a door on it, all the spaceship's supplies are sucked from it into the void of outer space. As Mario begins to bemoan the fate of his pasta, which had been sucked into space, his ship crashes into Quirk. | As the spaceship begins to haphazardly approach Quirk, it steadily begins to break apart, losing fuel and its door; without a door on it, all the spaceship's supplies are sucked from it into the void of outer space.

After successfully anchoring himself by putting a wrench in his overalls, Mario begins to say that he, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool need to somehow find spaceship fuel, supplies and food. Hearing Mario, two nearby Quirks, grateful to Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool for getting rid of Astro Mouser, say they can help them find what they need to survive. | After successfully anchoring himself by putting a wrench in his overalls, Mario begins to say that he, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool need to somehow find spaceship fuel, supplies and food.

Shortly after these two Quirks appear, Mario notices something sliding out from under the wreckage of his ship. Realizing that whatever is under his ship is a person, Mario offers the person his hand; unfortunately, this person is revealed to be an angry and [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]] wielding Astro Mouser, who has been flattened. | Shortly after these two Quirks appear, Mario notices something sliding out from under the wreckage of his ship. Realizing that whatever is under his ship is a person, Mario offers the person his hand; unfortunately, this person is revealed to be an angry and [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]] wielding Astro Mouser, who has been flattened to ridiculous proportions. | ||
As Astro Mouser drags himself from under the Mario's spaceship, the two Quirks quickly tell Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool to follow them to their barge. As the flattened Astro Mouser begins to throw flattened Bob-Ombs at them, Mario, Luigi, Toad, Princess Toadstool and their Quirk guides flee from him and leap onto a nearby river barge filled with pink rocks. | As Astro Mouser drags himself from under the Mario's spaceship, the two Quirks quickly tell Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool to follow them to their barge.

As the Quirks say this, Moon Man Koopa, riding his giant magnet from earlier, appears; chasing Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool, who are trying to escape in their barge, Moon Man Koopa activates his giant magnet, which slowly begins to pull the barge backwards. The Quirks, seeing their friends in peril, rush towards Moon Man Koopa's magnet and selflessly throw themselves into the path of it, their chains attaching them to the magnet; the magnet, completely covered in Quirks, loses its pull on Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool, who sail out of the Quirk Factory, while giving a sad look to the Quirks who saved them. | As the Quirks say this, Moon Man Koopa, riding his giant magnet from earlier, appears; chasing Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool, who are trying to escape in their barge, Moon Man Koopa activates his giant magnet, which slowly begins to pull the barge backwards.

In the desolate fields of Quirk, Mario is preparing to lift off in his recently repaired spaceship; while flying through the air, Mario is told by Princess Toadstool that the Quirks cannot simply be left in the clutches of Moon Man Koopa and his henchmen. Mario responds to Princess Toadstool's comment by saying that he will help the Quirks, but first Moon Man Koopa, who is quickly approaching in his ship, will have to be defeated. | In the desolate fields of Quirk, Mario is preparing to lift-off in his recently repaired spaceship; while flying through the air, Mario is told by Princess Toadstool that the Quirks cannot simply be left in the clutches of Moon Man Koopa and his henchmen.

As Moon Man Koopa begins his attack on Mario's spaceship, by firing flaming meteors at it, Mario has Luigi take the control's of his ship, as he begins to load the ship's ammunition, spaghetti and meatballs. As Moon Man Koopa continues his barrage of fiery meteors, Mario manages to counter his every move with blasts of spaghetti. Unfortunately, Mario's ship begins to lose speed as Moon Man Koopa's ship begins to catch up to it, preparing to ensnare it in his ship's openable "mouth". | As Moon Man Koopa begins his attack on Mario's spaceship, by firing flaming meteors at it, Mario has Luigi take the control's of his ship, as he begins to load the ship's ammunition, spaghetti and meatballs.

Trying to escape from Moon Man Koopa, Mario has Toad and Princess Toadstool dump everything unneeded from the spaceship. This proves futile though, as Moon Man Koopa continues to approach Mario's spaceship. Having dumped everything from the ship, Mario surmises that the only thing left to throw from the ship is the emergency pasta rations. As Mario prepares to dump the emergency pasta rations, he relents, stating that he just cannot do it; Princess Toadstool, grabbing Mario's hammer, smashes the case the emergency pasta ration is in, which causes it to be dumped out of the ship's exhaust port. | Trying to escape from Moon Man Koopa, Mario has Toad and Princess Toadstool dump everything unneeded from the spaceship.

Sent tumbling into space, the emergency pasta rations accidentally fall into the "mouth" of Moon Man Koopa's ship, causing it to malfunction and slow down, allowing Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool to escape. With his ship malfunctioning, Moon Man Koopa begins to try and land back on Quirk; only to be stopped by the Quirks, who, having removed their shackles by humming, unite together and begin to hum as loud as possible. The noise emitted by the Quirks causes Moon Man Koopa's ship to breakdown, forcing Moon Man Koopa to retreat, screaming revenge threats. The Quirks, now free from Moon Man Koopa, give Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool one last goodbye as they fly overhead. | Sent tumbling into space, the emergency pasta rations accidentally fall into the "mouth" of Moon Man Koopa's ship, causing it to malfunction and slow-down, allowing Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool to escape.

*When | *When Toad is knocked into a bulkhead in the starship, his voice is noticeably deeper when he comments "''Yikes! What a drag!''". | ||
*As the group | *The interior of the spaceship (as viewed from the outside) sometimes is simply colored black except for the windshield, which is blue as usual. | ||
* | *At certain points in the episode, Toad is shown smiling despite the danger that threatens he group, such as when Moon Man Koopa uses the giant magnet to capture Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad. | ||
* | *As the group crashes towards the planet Quirk, the door is seen being thrown from the ship, but it later appears back on as the group exits the spacecraft once reaching the planet's surface. | ||
*The Bob-Omb that Astro Mouser clutches as he escorts the working Quirks down the canal pulling the moon rocks is actually colored grey if one looks very closely. | |||
* | *Luigi's toolbox unexplainably disappears once the two Quirks approach Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool. | ||
* | *Mario, Princess Toadstool, and the Quirk on the right side of the barge vanish whenever the camera shows the left side of the barge with Luigi, Toad, and the other Quirk, but all characters are visible once the camera zooms out. | ||
* | *It is unclear how "normal" blue water is coming from the showerhead on the barge if it intakes the orange Quirk water from the canal to power the boat. | ||
* | **The water coming from the shower motor suddenly stops for a frame once the "ALERT" missile flies over the group via Astro Mouser. | ||
* | *If one looks closely when the overhead camera angle is showing the large robotic arms lifting the barge with the gang, Princess Toadstool is missing her oxygen helmet. | ||
* | **A large triangular chunk of moon rock can be seen again from the overhead camera behind the pile of rocks Mario's gang hides in on the conveyor belt, yet the third person view shows a couple of small pieces instead as they slip past the Koopa Troopa. | ||
*In one frame where Toad says, "''So much for Moon Man Koopa's Stoopa Troopas!''", his mouth is missing. | |||
* | *Moon Man Koopa lacks his oxygen helmet when he detects Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, Toad and the Quirks hiding in the moon rock pile at the end of the conveyor belt. | ||
*The Koopa Troopas face design is completely distorted as they approach the gang with chains, being all green with large white eyes, similar to [[Yoshi]]. | |||
* | *The border edge of the incubator flashes when Mario turns to apologize to the Quirks for getting them into enslavement. | ||
* | *Partway through the episode, Koopa is shown to leave in a spaceship, but in a later scene is shown to still be at the factory when he attacks Mario and the others with a magnet. He is then shown to be in his spaceship ahead of the ship Mario and the others left in, implying that he did leave in the earlier scene. | ||
*Partway through the episode, Koopa | **Every time the screen zooms out on the Quirk Factory slave yard, a piece from the chain production assembly line disappears, such as the brazier and the anvil. | ||
* | *The two Quirks that assisted Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad lack their shackles as the wave goodbye when they are sent away in the barge. | ||
*When | **When the Quirks rally up against Moon Man Koopa trying to re-enslave the colony, the fallen shackles are not present where the Quirks stand. | ||
** | *Toad is seen without his space helmet throughout the episode, but when Princess Toadstool says, "''The poor Quirks.''", Toad is seen wearing his space helmet. | ||
* | **Also in that shot, Luigi is missing his cap atop his oxygen helmet. | ||
*When Mario reaches for the hammer to break the glass | *The shorted-out chains that fall off of the gang's feet vanish once they flee towards the barge in escape. | ||
* | *When Mario reaches for the hammer to break the glass containing the emergency spaghetti ration, he has buttons on the back of his overalls. | ||
*In some shots, Moon Man Koopa has spikes on his wrist shackles and in some shots they are not present. | |||
*The vast space background appears to repeat in some shots showing the starships zooming close to the camera. | |||
*The camera jerks away for a frame after zooming in on the cheering Quirks as Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool leave the planet. | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*Unlike | *Unlike Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, Astro Mouser, Moon Man Koopa and his Koopa Troopas, Toad is not shown to need to wear an oxygen helmet while on the surface of the planet Quirk; this leads to the possibility that Toad's physiology may be vastly different from these other characters. | ||

He states: "Honk-noses of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!" This quote is a re-working of the last couple sentences of ''The Communist Manifesto'': "Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!" The Quirks later re-work Mario's speech when they decide to block Koopa's magnet in order to allow Mario, Luigi, Toadstool, and Toad to escape. They say "Quirks, unite! We have nothing to ''use'' but our chains!" | ||
