- Oh, my God! Look at that!

- Get outta here! Watch out!

Excuse me.

- This stuff's sticky.

- Yuck!

- Hey.

- Get away from my baby! Get away from my baby!

- What is this place? This is crazy!

- I don't know.

- Where are we?

- I don't know. Maybe we got knocked unconscious...

for a hundred years, and we woke up in

the Manhattan of the future.

Maybe the Bronx of today.

- No wonder they tell you never to come up here.

- Mario, I got a feelin;

- I got a feelin' we're not in Brooklyn no more.

- Where're you goin'? Hey!

Look at this place.

Pathetic. It gets worse every day.

- It's disgusting.

- The humans on the other side...

have a world full of resources ready

for the taking.

- Imagine an endless supply of food...

- I know.

- Clean air, water... and what are we stuck with?

- Mmmm.

This... pit hole...

germs everywhere, fungus.

Sixty- five million years...

we've been exiled here...

after the meteorite struck...

while mammals roam free

in the other dimension.

Well... not for long.

When you get your rock.

When I get the princess.

- Princess?

- I need the rock...

and the Princess Daisy.

I'll finally be able to merge our world

with theirs and get rid of the mammals!

Yes, it's everything you've hoped for,

everything you've worked for.

- Excuse me, cousin.

- Hello, morons.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- I captured the princess. She's being de- fungused.

- Ah! Ah!

- But I took her through the gateway.

- I recognized her.

He couldn't tell

one mammal from another.

Good. Now... where's the rock?

- Rock, sir?

- Rock, sir?

The meteorite piece that

she wears around her neck...

and I told you not to forget it!

- That rock.

- I told you not to forget it!

And I told you to remind him!

Without that piece

the meteorite lays dormant.

I'll not be able

to merge the dimensions.

Where is it?

- The plumbers took it.

- Plumbers?

Plumber alert.

Plumber alert.

That's right.

The Koopa man is looking

for a couple of plumbers.

And there's a big coin reward,

2,000 gold Koopa coins.

Guess he must have

a serious plumbing problem.

Fried tweeter, only 20 Koopas.

Enjoy your spiny burger here.

Hey, fried tweeter, only 20 Koopas.

You like little wigglers?

Hey, listen. If we're gonna eat in this place,

we're gonna have to be very, very hungry.

Excuse me, excuse me, Miss Lady,

can you tell me where I am?

Yeah, you're in my way,

egg suckers.

Who are these people?

- Are you boys new here in town?

- Lady, we're lookin' for somebody...

- and we're from Brooklyn.

- Yeah.

You know, boys, it's very dangerous

here in this neighborhood.

- You shouldn't wander around without a weapon.

- Yeah.

- You got one?

- No.

All right.

Get 'em up, suckers!

Koopa coins! I need Koopa coins!

- Well, this oughta do...

- D- D- Don't touch that!

- Just fine!

- That's not even ours!

- Hey!

- Let me go!

What are you d... Put me down!

Bats!

Um, you wanna give us

the rock back, lady?

Come and get it, big boy.

Hey! Hey, guys! Cheer up!

Things could get worse.

# Ain't got no water anywhere #

# Food's bad, so's the air #

# Got no resources

in a great big stupor #

# All because of

the evil King Koopa #

- Whoaah!

- You know the law, Toad.

Hey, wait a minute. You can't

arrest a guy for just singin' a song.

For anti- Koopa songs, we can.

Ah- ha! Plumbers!

- He is. I'm just apprenticing. But I didn't do anything!

- Get in the car!

Are you tellin' us that you can arrest a guy

for bein' a plumber? Get outta here!

- Get in there, plumber! Now!

- Hey, what is this?

- What did we do?

- I'm gettin' arrested for bein' a plumber!

Write his number down!

- Stop pushing me!

- Is that Daisy?

- Daisy. Daisy! You too! Daisy!

- Daniella? Daniella!

- Are you okay?

- What's going on?

I don't really know.

There's this guy, his name is Koopa.

And he's lookin' for this princess.

I guess none of us here fit the bill.

You boys ain't from around here, are ya?

- Brooklyn.

- Brooklyn.

Hey, what're you doin'?

- Name?

- Mario.

- Last name?

- Mario.

- Okay, what's your name?

- Luigi.

- Luigi Luigi?

- No, Luigi Mario.

Okay, look! How many Marios are there

between the two of you?

There's three.

There's Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.

Mike! Mike!

Help these Marios around the side.

Stop pushin' me around.

Prepare to be de- fungused.

I'm not goin' in there!

Aaah! Oooh!

- Hold still.

- Whooaa!

It's cold!

What is this?

Brrr!

Let's go, move it!

Come on! That way, let's go!

What was that?

The fungus unit.

The fungus is choking the city.

- Come on, move! Move!

- Oh, come on!

- Give me a break, man.

- Okay, through the gate!

Through the gate!

Move it! Go! Go!

Let's go! Go! Come on!

Hey, Mario, look.

I grew an inch.

Hey, what's that?

What's that red... Oh, my God!

Oh, no! Ohhh!

Oh, no!

Are we dead?

# How, how, how #

# Sitting here

in a cramped detention #

# With brothers

from another dimension #

# Thinkin' about my sur... ##

Say, what's another word

that rhymes with "dimension"?

- Yeah, "tension." And I'm full of it, so shut up.

- Wait a minute!

What did you mean "another dimension"?

Did you mean like...

- our worlds have crossed over or somethin' like that?

- Sure, kid.

You know, according to history,

a long time ago a big meteorite came...

- and blasted our universes into parallel dimensions.

- Yeah.

You know what else I think?

All that fungus out there.

That's our old king. It's true.

But he's been de- evolved.

That's right. He's been

de- evolved into fungus, and now...

- he's wreaking his revenge on the city.

- Mario Brothers!

Yeah, that's us! You better get a lawyer

and get us outta this chicken coop.

- Yeah, me too!

- You got one.

- Let's go. Come on.

- Just let me do the talking.

Shut up!

Boys, boys... sit down.

How's prison?

You look like hell. I'm, uh...

Larry Lazard, of Lazard, Lazard...

Conda, Dactyl, and Cohen.

Who sent you?

Are you from the city?

No, I'm from that,

uh, little part of all of us...

that can't stand to see

someone else in need or pain.

Yeah, I'll bet.

Wh- Who's this Koopa clown?

We gotta talk

to that goofball now.

I don't think

you wanna do that.

- Why?

- Why not?

- That Koopa clown...

- Yeah?

Is one evil,

egg- sucking son of a snake.

Now...

where is that

meteorite piece?

The what?

- You know what I'm talking about!

- Hey, hey, hey!

- Ow!

- No one touches President Koopa.

You're Koopa?

Well, you just said you were one...

One evil, egg- sucking

son of a snake.

Did I lie?

Take these two plumbers...

to the devo chamber.

- I'm all right.

- Come on.

What a lousy chamber...

ever since Koopa took over.

And you, Koopa!

You're a lousy leader!

One thing I cannot stand

is naysaying.

Simon, de- evolve him now.

De- evolve.

- Cretaceous.

- Our old king!

You tried to get rid of him,

but the king is everywhere.

- You can't get rid of him.

- See you later, alligator.

Ever!

You may think of evolution

as an upward process.
