Doesn't look good Luigi,
all we can do now is hope and

pray.

Makes me sick with grief.

Who's going to call mama, and
tell her that her basil bush

is dying?

What we need now is a miracle.

[ding dong]

Come in!

Who are you and
how can we help you?

No!

It is I who can help you!

When a plant is in distress,
the great Doctor Toby knows

about it.

You can call it a gift,
you can call it a power and,

a curse.

I developed a super plant
growth formula to save your

dying plant.

Wow!

Thanks Doc!

Would it keep us from
getting in trouble with mama?

Yes!

But, it's in the
experimental phase.

Read the
instructions carefully!

You may be tested he he.

Pop quiz.

[laughs]

Thanks Doc!

Ok instructions:
prepare surface,

and apply a small amount--

Never mind a small amount this

is an emergency.

Never mind the instructions
I'll do it by feel!

Plumber's
log, number .

The trouble started just
before we arrived in Pasta

Land.

King Koopa used a magic flute
to steal all the children.

[flute playing]

Boogie with Koopa
you fungus brats.

Boogie right into my
double dealing clutches!

[laughs]

[flute playing]

Didn't I tell you dudes you'd
really dig this bodacious

kingdom?

Hey!

A place where
pasta grows on trees,

is my kind of place!

[slurp]

Yeah too bad they can't grow
with meatballs or somethin'.

I told you Pasta
Land was paradise.

Right over there!

Lake Spaghetti Sauce!

Heh heh Luigi, I think we
finally found a place that

could make me
happier than Brooklyn.

Everybody in
Pasta Land is happy.

Come on!

I'll introduce
you to the Mayor.

[Mayor:] Times are
terrible Toad.

Disaster has descended
on Pasta Land's people.

What's wrong Mayor Fettuccine?

The Pied Koopa has just
stolen all our children!

Oh no!

How terrible!

Stupid Koopa's stooping
lower and lower these days.

Why would he want all of
Pasta Land's bambinos?

Who knows?

[Mouser:] I do!

Listen to this Koopagram.

Your children are now
prisoners at Koopa Castle.

I will only give them
back, if you give me,

your entire
spaghetti tree crop.

Signed: King Koopa.

You owe him four gold
coins, he sends his C.O.D.

People of Pasta Land!

We have no choice.

We must give our
spaghetti harvest,

to Koopa!

Not yet, Mayor Fettuccine.

My stomach's got
plans for that pasta.

Come on!

Let's get those kids back.

We'll follow Mouser
to Koopa's castle!

[panting]

Hurry!

We gotta get inside, before
they pull up that drawbridge.

[gasp]

Yeow!

Your plan had a few
leaks in it Mario.

Look at it this way Luigi;
we get our overalls washed,

free of charge!

Yeah, just in time
for our funerals.

Look!

Head for the shore!

Don't head for shore!

[Princess:] They're
attacking us from the sky!

[Toad:] They're
attacking us from the shore!

There's no place
we can go Mario!

I'd just been wishing I had a
submarine sandwich and it gave

me an idea!

Follow me!

Look!

There's a Power Block.

Kaboom!

Ahh!

Surf's up!

Yeow!

Koopa's Troopas
can't get us now!

We're safe!

Whadda ya mean safe?

We're trapped in
King Koopa's dungeon.

But Koopa doesn't
know we're here.

All we have to do
is sneak up there,

and rescue the
captured children.

[Luigi:] Oh, is that all?

Piece of cake!

The Princess is right, Luigi.

Come on!

Careful Mario, there could be
real danger behind that door.

It can't be any worse than
a dungeon full of water.

Wanna bet,
my soggy little,

sink slob?

Troopas!

Take these plumbers prisoner!

Also the Princess and
that fathead Mushroom.

Hey mouse nostrils!

You call me fathead once more,
and I'll give ya a fat lip!

Since you busy bodies
flooded my favourite dungeon,

I think it's only fair you
spend the rest of your lives

there.

[laughs]

Toss 'em in the drink!

Yeow!

[gasps]

I've heard of damp dungeons,
but this is ridiculous.

Things could be worse.

Are you kiddin'?

We're gonna spend the
rest of our lives as fish!

What could be worse?

[gasp]

How 'bout spending the
rest of our lives as,

fish bait?

[growling]

Whoaaaa!

Holy macaroni!

We're running out
of room to hide!

[Princess:] And those
Trouters look terribly hungry!

Look how high
these handcuffs are.

This dungeon must get a
lot of tall prisoners.

They get tall after
Koopa stretches 'em.

Hey, look what got washed
in from the moat with us:

a Bob-omb.

I've got it!

We'll drain the dungeon
just like we drained the moat!

I'll blow the far wall so
the water can empty into the

castle basement.

Hang onto those rings, or
we'll all go down the drain!

Boom!

Boom!

Well, Koopa's got a
dry dungeon again.

Maybe he'll let
bygones, be bygones.

Sure Mario, and maybe you'll
stop scarfing spaghetti!

Hey listen, I'd love to hang
out with you guys some more,

but my arms are tired.

Going down Your Highness?

Going down!

There!

Getting down was fun!

Ouf!

If you're dressed for it.

You guys land in one piece?

What's the matter Luigi?

You're scared?

I don't like high places.

It ain't high down here!

You got a point.

Ouch!

What was I scared of?

That was a real soft landing.

Now that we're safe Mario, we
have to rescue those captured

children.

Yeah!

But how?

First we have to find
where Koopa's keeping them.

Come on!

What's going on
with those brats?

Mouser!

[laughs]

Mouser, this is
not a nursery school,

this is an evil castle.

Right your royal Koopaness.

You want more evil.

Round up those little monsters
and throw them in the brig

then double the guard.

[Mouser:] Right,
double the guard.

You're thinking too
small you repulsive rodent.

Triple the guard!

With that many guards, we'll
never free those bambinos.

Unless, we do to the
Koopa Troopa guards,

what the Pied Koopa,
did to those kids!

What are you
talking about Mario?

Quick!

We gotta find some
plumbin', I got a plan!

[Toad:] I hope you guys
can play those things!

Are you kidding?

We've played in the
Brooklyn Plumbing School Band,

for three years.

[laughs]

Yeah, before they threw
us out for eating during a

concert.

You were eatin'!

I was holding your salami
sandwich while you turned the

page.

[Toad:] There's the kids!

And there's Koopa!

Good work Mouser.

Do I get a medal your
royal snoutfulness?

I get the medal rodent.

Tripling the
guard was my idea!

It would take a miracle
for those brats to escape.

Ok Toad, me and Luigi
will get the guards away,

and you free the kiddos!

[soul music]

[soul music]

Hey mouse brain!

Where's that
music coming from?

Maybe you left your radio on.

Don't be silly.

This is Pasta Land!

Radio hasn't
been invented yet!

Look!

It's those faucet freaks.

They're using my
own trick against me!

[growls]

Koopa Pack, att*ck!

Follow me kids, and hurry!

[Mouser:] Hold it drain brains!

Your music has
no effect on me!

That's what you think!

[soul music continues]

Get back here you
stupid Troopas!

You turkey turtles!

Get back here, or I'll
repossess your shells!

Stop them!

Those rotten toadstool
tots are getting away!

Mouser!

This flute will
bring them back,

and then I'm putting you in
full charge of the little

brats.

If Koopa thinks he's
putting me in charge of those

vegetable delinquents
again, he's flipped.

Ahh!

Splash!

My flute!

[sobs]

I've lost my magic flute!

You know.

I've been having more bad
luck lately than a bad guy can

take.

take.

Mmmm.

Please rise!

If we can.

I hereby present you with the
order of the Golden Meatball,

for your valiant efforts in
rescuing the children of Pasta

Land and saving
our spaghetti crop!

[clapping]

Speech!
Speech!

My only regret, is that
I have but one stomach,

to give your country.

[laughter]

[laughter]

Yea yea, Doc?

Yea this is Mario.

Yea your plant formula worked.

Well that's the
problem, it worked too good!

[growling]

Will you cut the
chit chat, and ask him!?

Yea Doc, yea yea your formula
turned mama's puny little

plant, into a
Botanical Bigfoot.

What should I do?

Try askin' him to let you go.

Ok.

Let me go, please!

Next.

Yea, didn't work Doc.

Really?

Ok.

Try tickling him.

Tickling him?

Ok.

Goochee goochee goochee
goochee goochee goochee.

Next.

Ok Doc ok.

Try teasin' him.

Ok.

Your mother's a salad,
and your breath smells like

cabbage.

Forget it.

Yea forget it Doc, he
hates Henny Youngman.

Well?

The plant's holdin' him.

Try dancing.

Dancing?

Forget it!

Yea, are you sure?

What's the Doc
trying to say now?

He said run.

Run?

Run!

RUN!

Luigi, what are we
gonna do I know,

let's show some scenes from
the next Legend of Zelda.

Good idea!

This is the
Triforce of Wisdom Link,

the evil Wizard Ganon
has the Triforce of Power.

[laughter]

Whoever gets both
Triforces will rule this land

forever, you
must help me Link!

Hey for you Zelda?

Anything!

Ahhh!

Stalfos!

I sent my demands to the
castle nearly an hour ago

Harkinian!

You'd better hope your
daughter responds soon!

Or--

My daughter
will respond alright,

but not, in the
manner you think.

Ah.

Goodbye!

Daddy!

No!

Ahhh!

One more zap and
you're de-energized Ganon.

A zap you won't make Link!

Yeaaaa!

Ahhhh!

Come on.

Mario, are you sure
the Doctor's coming?

If he doesn't let's hope
we look good in green.

Huh?

Holy fertilizer!

My formula works!

Oh, oh my.

Oh, oh.

Open your stamen and say ahh.

Ah-ha.

Ah-ha.

Doc, Doc, could you
admire your stupid work later?

Yea, get us out of this.

No sweat!

I've developed an antidote,
for my growth formula which

should shrink this plant back
down to it's original size.

[growling]

Ahh!

Ahh!

Be careful Mario!

Be careful Mario!

Be careful!

Be prepared to shrink, you
almost grown dinner salad!

Doc, don't worry,
don't get any on Mario,

he can't be shrinking.

Here goes nothing!

Don't worry about me!

Mario!

Take it easy!

Don't hurt yourself!

Mario are you ok?

Are you ok?

What happened?

My shrinking formula worked!

Why did you do that Doc?

I had him right
where I wanted him!

Oh yea Mario.

I mean, he was
shaking like a leaf.

[laughter]

Hey boys you know, I've
developed a fast acting super

yeast formula for your pizza
dough if you're interested.

No, no thank you
very much Doc,

we had an apple on the train.

Wow, what a miracle.

Mama will be happy,
mama will be happy.

Nice.
