[The screen shows a kingdom of snow and ice is seen in the distance. Suddenly, magma drops upon the ice. A floating castle constructed of rock and lava with a monstrous figurehead in front flies toward the ice kingdom. It drops anchor and lands, opening its gates to release an army of turtle-like Koopas. At a higher level of the castle, winged Koopa Paratroopas take flight, to join their non-flying bretheren in ranks that form a path leading to the head of the castle. A blue-robed Koopa magician, Kamek, appears from thin air.]

Kamek: Behold! The Rulers of the Pigs and the King of the Koopas!

[Kamek strikes his wand upon the ground, signaling the Koopa army to turn in attention as their monstrous leader, Bowser, emerges. Along him were his two friends, a big green pig with a beard named Leonard and a purple slim bird named Gale. They walked toward the ice castle. One Koopa Troopa is shown shivering in their shell out of nerves.]

Bowser: Open the gates! ...Or die.

[Large shadows loom within the ice palace. The gates open to reveal an army of much smaller but still determined penguins, whose king directs them. "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" begins to play.]

Penguin King: Attack!

Penguins: (battle cries)

[The penguins charge forward and begin pelting the Koopas with snowballs and ice chunks, to little effect. A group brings a catapult to the front of their army, and fires it at Kamek, who teleports away, leaving a Koopa to take the hit. The Penguin King signals them to hold their attack. "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" stops playing.]

Penguin King: That is but a taste of our fury. Do you yield?

Bowser: (chuckles) We do not.

[Kamek magically lifts up the penguins and tosses them aside. The green pigs used TNT to destroy the ice castle into bits.]

Penguin King: No...

Bowser: Oh...

[Within the castle ruins shines a bright light. Kamek levitates ice blocks for the three to walk up toward the light. They reached a shining Question Block, which Bowser breaks open to reveal the Super Star.]

Bowser: (laughs) I've finally found it.

Leonard: (clear his throat) WE finally found it, dear friend.

Bowser: Right. And now NO ONE CAN STOP USSSSSSS!

[Scene cuts to a commercial for Super Mario Bros. Plumbing. Two men appear, Mario in a red hat and shirt and Luigi in green, both with large mustaches and wearing denim overalls and white gloves. They ride in a yellow van and demonstrate their plumbing skills.]

COMMERCIAL SINGER: ♪ Uh, we're the Mario Brothers, and plumbing's our game. We're not like the others who get all the fame. When your sink is in trouble, you can call us on the double. We're faster than the others, you'll be hooked on the brothers, huh! ♪

Mario: (Italian accent) It's-a-me, a-Mario!

Luigi: (Italian accent) And-a Luigi!

Mario: Are you tired of-a paying too much for plumbing?

Mario & Luigi: Mamma mia!

Mario: That's-a why the Super Mario Brothers are here. To-a save Brooklyn.

Luigi: And-a Queens...

Mario: And-a your wallet.

COMMERCIAL ACTRESS: Thank you, Super Mario Bros.! It seems like the only thing you haven't drained is my bank account...

Mario: Forget-a the expensive plumbing companies where you're-a just a face. With the Super Mario Brothers, you're family!

COMMERCIAL SINGER: ♪ Hooked on the brothers! ♪ (fading echoes)

[The commercial ends as the real Mario and Luigi celebrate in Punch-Out Pizzeria. Alongside them were their bird friends: Red, Chuck, Bomb and Stella, as they celebrate with them.]

Luigi: (laughs)

Mario: (Brooklyn accent) Wow! You were great.

Luigi: (Brooklyn accent) I was great? Are you kidding me? YOU were great!

Red: I almost can't believe you two spent your life savings on this commercial.

Chuck: That is not a commercial. That is cinema.

Bomb: Eh, what about the accents? Is it... You think it was too much?

[A man dressed similarly to the brothers, Giuseppe, turns to them.]

Giuseppe: (Italian accent) Too much? It's-a perfect! Wahoo!

Mario: Okay, I'm gonna trust you.

[He returns to playing a Jumpman arcade game. Spike, a large bearded man in a Wrecking Crew uniform and sunglasses, speaks out.]

Spike: Well, well, well. If it isn't Brooklyn's favorite failures, the Stupid Mario Brothers. Along with their freaky bird friends.

Luigi: (as he, Mario, and the four birds indignantly walk over to Spike) Oh great... Spike's here.

Red: Hey, Spike.

Spike: Yeah, (in a comically high-pitched voice, similar to Mario's) it's-a me! (cackles) Wooo yeah... Tell me: have you even gotten one call since you left me to start your dumb company?

Luigi: (holds up his phone) As a matter of fact, Spike, we have.

Stella: Wow. Really?

Luigi: Uh, Yeah. Our mom called, and she said, "Aw, boys, that's the best commercial I've ever seen." And I said, "Thank you very much, mother. We're very proud of it." So, boom! (accidentally drops his phone as Mario looks embarrassed)

Red: (sarcastic) Wow, not a good comeback.

Spike: (laughs) Good luck running a business with this idiot. (throws a napkin at Luigi, which Stella catches)

Stella: Say that again about my friend, and you're gonna regret it. (tosses the napkin back at Spike)

Spike: (gets up and grabs Stella by the feathers) Oh yeah? Get this through your tiny brain, birdy! You and your friends are a joke — and you always will be. (He throws Stella on the ground and leaves while chuckling.)

Chuck: You alright, Stella?

Luigi: Are you insane? He's three times your size!

Stella: Luigi, c'mon... y'know, you can't be scared all the time.

Luigi: Mmm, you'd be surprised...

Mario: Eh, Red would've done the same thing.

Red: Yep.

[Luigi's cracked phone begins to ring. Luigi picks it up off the floor and answers.]

Luigi: Hello, Super Mario Brothers. Uh-huh? A drip in your faucet? That's great! I mean, that's... That's great you called us because we can be there and we can fix it right away. Okay. Mario, We got one!

[Mario and Luigi hug and jump around as the four birds cheered.]

Mario: (laughs)

Luigi: The Super Mario Brothers are in business!

Mario: Woo-hoo! (To the four birds) Guys, we're about to make history with this job. You wanna watch our magic?

Bomb: (hugs Red, Stella and Chuck in his arms) Let's do it!
