Plot Synopsis

The Mario Gang (Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad) arrives in Caveman Land searching for Muggers the Medicine Woman, who they hope will set the Mushroom Kingdom free. But King Koopa shows up first, and is now causing dinosaur-sized trouble. Almost immediately, they encounter a Mousersaurus Rex. Their attempts to flee the pursuing creature are thwarted by a pterodactyl-riding King Koopa, who introduces himself as Alley Koop. When the Mario Gang run a different direction, Alley Koop tosses a red, poisonous snake that proceeds to pursue the Mario Bros. When the Brothers trip on a bone in the ground, the snake bites Mario in the leg, causing him to fall unconscious. Luigi and the others run to Mario's side and remove the snake, but cannot get a response from Mario. Alley Koop, the Mousersaurus, and a group of spear-wielding Koopa Troopas arrive to defeat the remaining protagonists. When the group finds themselves cornered in front of a waterfall, a caveman Toad swoops in from a vine and tells them in his own language to get behind the waterfall, away from the sight of their pursuers.

Behind the waterfall, the gang discovers Muggers the Medicine Woman, who the Princess hopes can help Mario. Muggers is shocked and disgusted by Mario's poor state, and shows the group a hieroglyphic depicting the unconscious Mario. Luigi, wanting instead to help the real Mario, attempts to revive him with a number of his favorite foods, including pepperoni cheesecake, a meatball sandwich, garlic ravioli, and lotsa spaghetti. All of these fail to wake him up, and Luigi becomes inconsolable. Muggers, trying to comfort Luigi, mutters the word "pizza", to which Luigi brightens up to. Muggers then shows Luigi the rest of the hieroglyphics, which depict Luigi giving pizza to Mario. Luigi, realizing that this is the cure, decides to order take-out, but Toadstool informs him that there's no pizza parlors in Caveman Land, and that they'll have to make their own.

Luigi tries to bake a pizza for his brother, but there's no fire in the primitive Caveman Land. When he finally gets one going, Koopa hears of the situation and will have none of it. He floods the camp and ruins everything. Now Luigi must bake another pizza, but the only fire around is King Koopa's Fire Flower. At the end. Luigi gets the Fire Flowers and turns into Fire Luigi and defeats Koopa. Then they finally cooked the pizza to wake Mario up.
