Stage 1
Furious for the double defeat, Genie is about to throw his most powerful attack, the "Genie Machine Gun". A bunch of cannons appear on his belly and, after a little mishap by having the projectiles set on "magic trick tools", a bunch of energy beams are shot, but Genie soon lose control and cannot manage to stop and the castle starts trembling from all the damage. Tired of her useless genie, Syrup takes her escape pod shaped like a gacha ball and rolls away to safety, leaving Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Wario, and the Genie to their doom. Genie pleads the heroes to help him, in exchange he will return the favour. Luigi notices an electric wire connected to him and unplugs it, finally ceasing the Genie's fire. As Mario asks him about Princess Peach's golden statue, Yoshi finds a "gift" left from Syrup: a giant bomb. When Mario tells him that, panicked, Yoshi tosses it in the air and it lands straight in Genie's mouth and he gulps it. Now scared, the heroes run for the exit, followed by a scared Genie, who pleads them to not let him die alone.
Between trying to survive the crumbling castle, deviating and avoiding the Genie, and trying to avoid making him denote the bomb early by falling in lava pits, Mario finds himself alone with the Genie. After trying to put off the fuse with a barrel of liquid (which is revealed to be petrol) and defenestrate the Genie (only for a Chicken Duck to save him and take it back inside), Mario suggest using his magic to remove the bomb and, holding the lamp, wishes for the bomb to roll out of the Genie's mouth. His plan works, but by laughing out of joy, Mario ends up gulping the bomb.
Right then, Luigi, Yoshi, and Wario falls from the ceiling: the situation has not changed at all. Mario is now more in distress and enters a bathroom, and when he exits it, he reveals he defecated the bomb out: the situation has been solved, but the bomb is still active and there are only three seconds left. The bomb explodes, destroying the castle and blowing up the heroes. Mario is distraught that they will never find the golden statue, but as he rises his head, the giant statue is standing in front of him in the middle of castle ruins: it was concealed as the castle's foundations and skeleton all this time. As the heroes rejoice at their success, Syrup is regretting the choice behind her nausea-inducing escape pod deprived of air holes.
Stage 2
ワリオぼう
The chapter opens with Mario, Luigi and Yoshi thanking the readers for supporting the manga as this is their last page, but it is then revealed to be an April Fools' prank, then they proceed to cheer for finishing their mission, happily observing the retrieved statue. Yoshi starts sneezing due to his pollen allergy, but the heroes are shocked to discover that even the statue is suffering from the allergy and starts melting into a golden puddle. Syrup arrives to the scene on a helicopter, holding with a cargo chain the real golden statue and, revealing that this is her April Fools' prank, she activates her last monster: the golden puddle takes the shape of a mechanical Syrup Castle and attacks them. As Syrup flees, Jet Wario follows her, leaving Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi to deal with the robot.
The Castle is merciless on them, beating them up and making use of its pollen allergy to trap the heroes in its mucus. After emptying all the blocks in the castle onto them, Mario finds a Garlic Pot and quickly gets his doctor outfit and offers to cure its hay fever by offering him a capsule. The castle accepts, and while Luigi asks why his brother is helping the enemy, Mario reveals the content of the capsule: the Garlic Pot mixed with vitamins that makes the garlic grow and then harden, trapping the mecha with hard garlic roots. As the robot growls at Mario for being tricked, with him responding "April Fools", Jet Wario returns with the statue, but Syrup pokes him with a spear, causing him to revert to Tiny Wario and making him fall with the statue onto the mecha, crushing it.
A strange sound comes from inside the statue and, worried to have activated an exploding mechanism, Syrup flies away. Immediately after, the statue uses its prehensile tongue to grab Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi, eats them, and warps away, leaving Wario alone. The Genie, who was resting far from the battle, comforts Wario by giving him the promised reward for helping him with the bomb, earlier. Wario asks for his dreamed castle, but all he gets is a doghouse, while the Genie yells "April fools!"
Stage 3
The statue seems to be a spaceship of some sort and when Mario asks it when is leading them, the statue responds that they have to solve "Mario's Picross in his head". Mario is confused, but Yoshi notices a nonogram on the back of Mario's head. Luigi solves it and the solution is「未来」(the future). After a time jump, the statue lands in the Mushroom Kingdom of the future, which results as being pretty deserted. Yoshi finds a watermelon, but when trying to eat it, it is revealed to be a Koopa Troopa with a watermelon-like shell. The Koopa is surprised in seeing Mario, which immediately explains of being from the past, and asks the Koopa if he can guide them.
The Suika Nokonoko flees in a museum, followed by the heroes. Inside, Mario's story is pictured: after their adventures on Dinosaur Land, Mario Land, Subcon, Yoshi became a eating contests champion and Mario and Luigi became comedians following the loss of their powers, leading to the return of Bowser and his ascension to the Mushroom Kingdom throne, now known as the Koopa Empire. Mario cannot believe his eyes and, seeing a janitor, tries to ask him if that is actually true, only to discover that the janitor is his exact copy, with a K on his hat emblem. Right then, the Suika Nokonoko returns with the museum director, Ludwig, to confirm that after Bowser's ascension, Mario's descendants became his slaves, however, he can make things easier if he kills the past Mario now. Mario is not worried, recalling how he already defeated Ludwig (and even killed him, once), but Luwdig retracts in his shell and starts rolling around, hitting Mario and making his descendant more and more weak and transparent.
Yoshi suggests using the museum items to help them, discovering that his species went extinct and the items exposed are fake. With his last strength, the descendant pass Mario a mushroom that is revealed to be the Master Kinoko Sword from his adventure in Hyrule, and uses it to defeat Ludwig. Intentioned to fix this dark future, Mario decides to take care of the rest of the Koopa Empire but, since "they cannot bring another Mario", his descendant is left exposed in the museum, much to his embarrassment.
Stage 4
もどりたい? もどれない!
With the intention of helping this dystopian future, Mario decides to remain, but his good intentions are easily swayed after being attacked by robotic Goombas. Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi run for the statue, but it is attacked and destroyed by the Mecha Kuribo. Luigi manages to distract the Mecha Kuribo by pointing to a non-existing beautiful girl in the distance, buying them time to escape. In the middle of a desert, the trio meet Iggy Koopa, but they ignore him. Furious, Iggy uses his Magic Wand to make it rain and grow a rainforest around them, but once again, he is not acknowledged as a threat, not until he uses his magic to wash them at his feet with a downpour, claiming they will not escape from hi enemy-filled jungle.
Mario does not believe him, and tries to escape by swimming, but he is met with a Porcupuffer, then by stepping on some stones, only to discover he was stepping on crocodiles. When not even that break their spirit, Iggy summons a Nettai Pakkun Hana, whose breath turn them into flower. However, Mario is turned into a nose and, after Yoshi bites him out of that form, the Nettai Pakkun Hana sends him some Piranha Plants to chomp him and toss him to it, so to maul him. Mario manages to avoid the fangs of the Nettai Pakkun Hana, and using his hand, turned big due to the bruises, executes a Hand Slap, but only manages to hurt his friends and to root up the enemy, giving it walking limbs.
Iggy exclaims that until it touches the wet jungle ground, the Nettai Pakkun Hana is invincible. The Hand Slap vibration also revealed some block, and in one of them, Mario finds a vine that takes him above the clouds and then comes down holding the Angry Sun. Thanks to the heat, the humidity disapperas and the Nettai Pakkun Hana is shrunk and defeated, turning Luigi and Yoshi back to normal. After assisting a punch to the head to Iggy, that was trying to escape dressed like a bush, the trio continue their journey, but are now stalked and boiled by the Angry Sun.
Stage 5
The heroes have finally reached the main city and their first stop, at the insistence of Yoshi, is a restaurant, which in the future are managed by robots that can immediately create the dishes that the client is thinking. Despite the messed caused by the overload of orders, Yoshi enjoys a nice dinner. Right after, the group is stopped by some Lakitu policemen: the news of Mario's return has already spread and is now wanted, but thanks to the bruises, Mario is not recognized, for now. Realizing this, the heroes use a marker to disguise their identity and enjoy the city. While entering the Bowser Mall, where there is an sale event to celebrate the publications of CoroCoro Comic 50000th issue, Morton, the mall director, recognize them and follow them inside.
While "distracted" in the bikini section, with unattractive mannequins of Bowser and a Wiggler, and a very rude robot-Goomba employee, Mario and Yoshi lose sight of Luigi. On the intercom, the mall staff asks for the "parent of the green mustached child" to come and pick him up at the info point, but once Mario and Yoshi arrives, Morton comes out with a tied up Luigi and unmasks Mario. The entire mall is after them, and when they try to run away on the escalator, Morton activates a trap that tilts it to make Mario and Yoshi fall into a mouth at the base. Thanks to the massive meal of before, Yoshi's dump manages to clog the mouth at the base of the escalator, and the chase continues.
Yoshi is then captured by a Pokey and Mario bumps on a Grinder and a Chainsaw and is sent flying in the new articles section, only to find a Virtual Boy attached to his face. Seeing that, Morton decides to have some fun with it by manipulating what Mario sees: with Mario noticing enemies coming at him on the Virtual Boy screen, he keeps attacking Yoshi and Luigi, is bruised by what he thinks are non-existing Thwomps and Sumo Bros, and even mistakes Morton for Peach, kissing him. This comes to an end when, swinging a hammer, Mario approaches the sport isle, where the balls have been recently replaced with Bob-ombs, and he hits them, blowing up the entire mall and its occupants, much to Morton's desperation.
Stage 6

At Wario's base in Wario's Woods, the monsters inform Wario to have completed the construction of Drago, the only thing left to do before sending it against Mario's crew is to infuse it with Wario's personality. After attaching a helmet on Wario and plug it to Drago, the transfer process begins and Drago is now in motion. Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Toad, and Wanda are attacked and the latter is knocked out by Drago's fire breath. Yoshi attempts to reason with it using their reptilian nature to open a dialogue, but it fails.
Without Wanda's bomb magic and with Birdo out to pre-order the latest issue of Super Mario-kun, it seems like the heroes are done for. Yoshi, noticing Drago's wings, express how tiny they are and Drago suddenly cowers in embarrassment. Seems that, just like Wario, Drago has self-esteem issues deriving from its physical appearance. Mario then goes all out on it, ridiculizing its snout, its shape, and its weight, but with one insult too many, Drago is now enraged and knocks them out with its fart and starts squashing them under his claws.
Someone arrives to the heroes' rescue, the fairy elder, still in his cursed watering can form, but still capable of using his bomb magic, by making grown a meadow of horsetail bombs. Mario, slips out from Drago's paw and grabs as many bombs he can and, about to toss them at Drago, it pleads for its life, claiming to have a 5-dragon head son to feed and a 25-year loan on its house. Mario and the other are touched by this, getting distracted enough for the bomb to explode on them, only then Drago reveals it was all a trick. About to serving the final blow, Birdo arrives on the scene, and seeing her, Drago starts cuddling her: turns out that it has a soft spot for ladies, to which Mario and the others all dress up as women to pass the dragon.
At Wario's base, between all the praises and laughs about Drago's personality matching Wario's, the latter is punishing his minions for failing yet again in stopping Mario, with them rightfully blaming him for this failure.
Stage 7
あいつもこいつもワリオ!? かく
Mario and his party have almost retaken the Peaceful Woods from Wario and the final battle is approaching with the barging in Wario's base, but they find not one but five threes with a sign claiming they are Wario's castle. Splitting up, each hero enters in one tree-castle and return with a tied up Wario: something is wrong. Looking closely, Wanda notices that four of the Warios are pretty different, and are in fact a Squeak, a Spud, a Beaker, and a Spook faking to be him, but Mario discovers that even the fifth one is a Fuzz disguised: Wario has already fled and left fakers to lead them to think they have won.
Now busted, the monster come together to form a revolving cylinder formed by multiple Wario's faces, which then starts spinning towards the heroes. Luigi tries to stomp it, but a face on the top side block this attempt. The monster then tosses Mario and his friends, except for Wanda, inside a hollow tree, which is then filled with a bunch of monsters. Yoshi eats some of them, but they are poisonous, so there goes this plan. The heroes make their way to the top of the monster pile, only to be met with a lowering ceiling.
Right about when the heroes are close to be squashed, Wanda returns with her fairy friends, and they all use their bomb magic to break the tree and free their friends. The Wario-faced monster tries to escape, but Wanda and her friends turns Mario into a bomb and Luigi grabs him and dunks onto the monster, blowing it up and defeating it. Unfortunately, Mario also suffered the explosion, but Wanda heals him by using her magic again, turning him into a Bullet Bill.
Stage 8
Wario is the only one left, but has gone into hiding. While searching for him, the heroes come across a fallen tree, but after touching it, the three gets up: Wario his inside it and, while waiting for a long time, he ended up becoming one with the big tree. Taking offense at the mockery of the heroes, Wario discovered to have absorbed the evil nutrients of the earth and emits a gas that knocks down all the nearby fairies and turns the heroes into trees. Mario manages to save himself by using a gas mask, and hiding Wanda inside it.
Mario first attempts to use a fireball to burn him, but Wario has a sprinkler on him and put down the flames, then slaps Wario with his branch and then tries to melt him with his acid lymph, but Mario avoids it. Noticing how Wario is rooted to the ground, Mario tries to get far to avoid the next attacks, but Wario's roots coils him and start to strangle him. Right then, the elder arrives with the magical Axe of Justice, cutting off the roots and saving the plumber. However, Wario slaps the axe out of the way and right into a pond, but Bowser, dressed up as the goddess of The Honest Woodcutter story, gives it back.
Having had his root cut off, Wario manages to use his branches to fly away, so that he can now spread his toxic gas all over the forest. Mario is about to give up, but Bowser, claiming that he had not invaded a story for some extra screen-time only to see Mario give up so easily, launches him into the air, but Wario dodges him. Luckily, Bowser threw Mario with such strength that he went around the world and is now back, striking the axe down and defeating Wario.
Wario's Woods is no more and the Peaceful Woods have been restored: Luigi and the others are no longer trees, the fairies have healed back from the poison and the fairy elder is no longer a watering can. As everyone is enjoying this happy ending, Wario arrives, in his normal form, with the axe stuck in his head, pleading for its removal, scaring everyone with his bloody appearance.
Stage 9
三つどもえ
In the Mushroom Kingdom town, the King and the princess have announced a fierce survival race: the first to pass the checkpoints and reach Enoki Yama will win one million coins, a year-worth of food, and the hand of Princess Peach in marriage. Interested in each respective prize, Luigi, Yoshi, and Mario decide to take part in the race as a team. The chance of marrying Peach also make Bowser and Wario want to participate, scaring the other people interested from taking part.
The day of the race, only Team Mario, Bowser, and Wario are taking part. The two villains immediately jumps in their respective aircraft (the Koopa Clown Car and the Bulldog) and fly to the first checkpoint. Team Mario takes the kart, but riding it with two extra passengers, the vehicle is too slow, resorting in them using Yoshi to travel. The first checkpoint is the Jungle, where the trio is hindered by Donkey Kong, hired by Bowser with just a banana. Mario tries to beat the offer with a Giant Banana, but Yoshi eats it, angering DK.
After getting hit by Roll Attacks and barrels, Luigi pulls out an instant-Super Star to help his brother, but due to DK's Hand Slap, the star falls out of the cup and falls to the ground with all the water. Bowser then orders to toss Mario down a cliff, and DK does so. Luckily for Mario, he finds a Life Balloon that he catches, floating back up. Mario then stomps on DK and kicks it in a Blast Barrel that Yoshi aims at Bowser. DK is then shot, hitting both Bowser and Wario, who was flying by. With this advantage, the heroes go to the next checkpoint.
Stage 10
ワナ、ワナ、ワナ! みんなではまればこわくない!? (Trap, trap, trap! Is it really scary if everyone falls in!?)
On their way to Enoki Yama, Luigi finds a map that leads to a shortcut to the goal, passing through Ī numa. Yoshi presumes it might be a trap of their rival, but Mario has already gone towards the indicated shortcut. Once at the swamp, the trio finds Wario trapped in the mud. When Mario asks if he fell for the trap of the map, Wario admits he was the one to set that trap, but accidentally fell in the mud. Mario decides to leave him there, but Wario blackmails him by promising to not share an embarrassing photo of him if they can get him out. While approaching him, Yoshi notices that the mud level is not deep, but that not why Wario is stuck: he is riding a Blargg he imported from Dinosaur Island.
The monster emerges, with Wario gripped on the back of its head, avoiding his tongue. Noticing the trio, the Blargg directs its attention to them, spitting mud onto Luigi and Yoshi. The mud quickly hardens, leaving them paralyzed. To avoid the incoming mud balls, Mario uses Yoshi as a shield, dropping him face first when he loses balance. Nose first to the ground, Yoshi manages to smell Fire Flower seeds in the ground, so Luigi, drops from his pockets instant-Super Mushrooms to fertilize the grass, making the Fire Flowers grow faster.
Using them, Mario makes a giant fireball with which defeats the Blargg, saving Wario. After using some water to free his brother and Yoshi, Mario goes to Wario, who accidentally activates another trap of his, closing them inside a cage. Meanwhile, despite Mario's worries, Bowser has not made it far, having fell for the fake map trick and got himself trapped.
Stage 11
おむこさん
Bowser is approaching the goal, but discovers to have taken the wrong path and arrived to the wrong mountain. Not able to correct his mistake before his adversaries reach the goal first, Bowser calls one of his soldier with the order of hindering the Mario Team and Wario until he arrives. Meanwhile, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Wario have arrived to the second and last checkpoint, in which they have to prove to be an excellent parental figure for a child in a series of test judged by Toad. However, Mario and Yoshi notices something is fishing about Toad, between the glasses and his "face that makes you irritable".
The first test is physical strength: the participants must score a goal to prove to be athletic enough for the kid. Mario goes first, but the goal is blocked by a bunch of Boos, and when it is Wario's turn, a roller shutter denies his shoot, so both of them are disqualified. Bowser arrives and take his shoot, missing the goal, but the ball magically rolls inside, giving him the win. The Mario team and Wario complains to Toad, especially when the ball kicked by Bowser seems to be a Koopa Troopa with a painted shell.
The next test is intelligence: the participants must answer a math problem. Bowser's question is easy (2 × 2), but Mario and Wario's is unfairly long and complicated. Tired of his obvious bias, Wario tackles Toad, revealing so that it was Kamek in disguise: the real Toad, tied up and gagged, is found by Yoshi behind a rock. As Bowser flees, he orders Kamek to slow the rivals down, and he obliges, turning the Mario team and Wario into blocks. Toad asks Yoshi to munch on the ropes and, once free, just in time to avoid a magic blast from Kamek, asks the others to form a block totem that he knocks over the Magikoopa, defeating him.
With Kamek dealt with, the Mario team and Wario continue the race, but the wizard casts another spell, shattering Mario and Yoshi into pieces, to then interrogate the readers by asking what pieces of them are missing, comparing between the last two panels.
