7 Continents for 7 Koopas

7 Continents for 7 Koopas is the twenty-second episode of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3; it aired alongside another episode of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 entitled "Up, Up, and a Koopa".

Plot Synopsis
In the Mushroom Kingdom, Frog Mario and Frog Luigi are hopping across a bridge over a pond, while Princess Toadstool and Toad follow in swim-wear. Looking up at the clear sky, Princess Toadstool comments that it's a great day for swimming, as there isn't a single cloud in the sky. Luigi corrects Princess Toadstool's comment, pointing out to her the huge rain cloud that has suddenly appeared above them. Upon paying closer attention to the "cloud", Mario exclaims that it's actually the Doomship, surrounded with steam. Not wanting to be spotted by the Koopas, Princess Toadstool directs her friends to jump into the water.

Inside the Doomship's engine room, steam from the radiator is starting to flood the place. Kooky, Cheatsy and Kootie Pie use a monitor to communicate with King Koopa at the helm. Kooky explains that the radiator has overheated, much to Bowser's dismay, as he just got the Doomship back from the repair shop. As the entire room starts to shake, Cheatsy remarks that they need water immediately, and Bowser orders his kids to activate the Super Slurp Pipe.

The Super Slurp Pipe extends down from the hull of the Doomship into the pond, and starts sucking up the water. Not wanting to get sucked up along with the water, Luigi and Toad hold onto some blocks, while Mario and Princess Toadstool hold onto some coral. However, the force of the Super Slurp Pipe proves to be to much for Princess Toadstool, as she looses her grip, and gets sucked up the pipe into the Doomship. As Princess Toadstool ends up in the radiator, Cheatsy comments that the water managed to cool down the radiator just in time. Kootie Pie, however, whines that it wasn't just in time, and cries about how the steam melted her mascara. Wanting to change the subject, Bowser tells his kids about his latest idea for a Koopa Caper. With that, Cheatsy recalls the Super Slurp Pipe, and the Doomship flies away.

Mario, Luigi and Toad then surface from the water and head for land, noting that Princess Toadstool has been Koopnapped by accident, and that they need to find Raccoon Power so that they can fly after the Doomship. Meanwhile, Princess Toadstool escapes from inside the radiator through a hatch, and climbs out into the now-empty engine room. Wanting to find out what the Koopas are up to, Princess Toadstool heads for the helm, and spies on them from behind the door.

Bowser steers the Doomship through a Warp Pipe, warping it into the Real World. Not wanting the Mario Bros. to follow them, Bowser orders Kooky to activate the Koopa Klogger, which, as Kooky claims, will clog every Warp Pipe in the Mushroom Kingdom. Upon being activated, a large, spherical force field appears in the Warp Pipe that the Doomship went through, just as Raccoon Mario, Luigi and Toad fly towards it. Unable to slow down in time, the trio crashes into the force field, lose their Raccoon Power, and fall to the ground. With the Warp Pipe blocked off, Luigi remarks that they can't follow the Doomship and save Princess Toadstool.

Back aboard the Doomship, Kooky gloats about his latest invention, and how it will prevent the Mario Bros. from entering the Real World to foil their plans. As the rest of the Koopalings cheer, Bowser orders them to get ready for his latest plan; the Real World has seven continents, so he's assigning each of his seven kids to wreck havoc on one. As the Koopalings are called off by name, they then parachute down to their assigned continent.


 * Bully is ordered to be the "Beast of the East" in Asia.
 * Cheatsy is ordered to show how low he can go, down under, in Australia.
 * Kootie Pie is ordered to be a plague in Europe.
 * Kooky is ordered to go wild in Africa.
 * Big Mouth is ordered to blow his hot air all over Antarctica.
 * Hip is ordered to rediscover North America, and be rotten from sea to shining sea.
 * Hop is ordered to "La Bamba" South America.

Princess Toadstool tells herself that she needs to stop the Koopalings before they take over the entire Real World, and realizes that she must disable the Koopa Klogger. However, just as she touches the handle, she triggers an alarm, and is quickly surrounded by two Paragoombas and a Bob-omb. Bowser tells Princess Toadstool that the Koopa Klogger has an "Echo Goody-Good Warning Device", and calls her his prisoner as a Chain Chomp wraps itself around her. Back in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario, Luigi and Toad have Raccoon Power again, and are struggling to pull the force field out of the pipe using an enormous plunger. However, they wind up pulling the plunger off of the force field, and fling themselves down to the ground, losing their Raccoon Power in the process. Luigi remarks that they've tried everything, and have been unsuccessful in unclogging the pipe. Mario comments that it's the worst clog he's ever seen, but Toad reassures them that Princess Toadstool probably has Bowser begging for mercy by now.

Still tied up by the Chain Chomp, Princess Toadstool tells Bowser that he'll never get away with his takeover, but Bowser shows her the truth, and directs her attention to a screen with seven monitors, each one linked to a Koopaling. Bowser first checks in on Bully, who's spraying graffiti all over a wall. Bowser is disappointed with Bully's vandalism, until he learns that the wall is actually the Great Wall of China. Next, Bowser checks in on Kooky, who's turned all the African animals into stuffed animals with his Magic Wand. Bowser then checks in on Cheatsy, who's used his Magic Wand to turn every human in Australia into a kangaroo, with the exception of a Crocodile Dundee-type man, who he turns into a prawn, which he and several crocodiles plan to cook on a barbie. After that, Bowser checks in on Big Mouth, who's built an Abominable Snowkoopa, which he brings to life to terrorize the penguins of Antarctica. Bowser then checks in on Kootie Pie, who used her Magic Wand to transform all the artwork in the Louvre into portraits of herself. Checking in on North America, Hip announces that he's taken over all of the TV stations, and is holding a Koopathon, which won't end until everyone gives him all their money. Lastly, Bowser checks in on Hop, who's turned the Amazon Rainforest into a parking lot.

Needing a plan to escape, Princess Toadstool looks down at the Bob-omb that's guarding her, and gets the idea to start taunting it. Princess Toadstool calls the Bob-omb a dud that can't explode, tricking it into setting off its fuse. This reaction scares off the minions guarding Princess Toadstool, who hurriedly picks up the Bob-omb, runs to the upper deck of the Doomship, and tosses it at the Koopa Klogger, blowing it up. With the Koopa Klogger destroyed, Princess Toadstool comments that Mario and Luigi can now enter the Real World to help her stop the Koopalings.

Mario, Luigi and Toad watch as the force field disappears, and each hop onto a Parabeetle, which they ride through the Warp Pipe. As they come out in the Real World, they meet up with Princess Toadstool, as she parachutes down from the Doomship. Mario heads to the Great Wall of China, where he grabs Bully's wand from out of his hand, and uses it to turn the wall into a Chinese dragon, which chases after Bully. Luigi heads to Africa and steals Kooky's wand, which he uses to turn the stuffed animals back to normal. Normal again, the animals chase after Kooky. Princess Toadstool heads to Australia, steals Cheatsy's wand, and turns all the humans back to normal. She also uses the wand to remove the crocodiles' teeth. As a human, the hunter grabs Cheatsy and nearly throws him on a barbie. Luigi then arrives in Antarctica, steals Big Mouth's wand, and uses it to destroy the Abominable Snowkoopa. Luigi then uses the wand to make the penguins grow huge, and they chase after Big Mouth. At the Louvre, Mario steals Kootie Pie's wand, and uses it to make water pour out of "The Birth of Kootie" portrait, washing her away. Luigi then arrives in North America to whisk Hip away from the camera with a cane. Mario then arrives in South America, pulls Hop's wand away from him, and uses it to restore the rainforest, to the delight of two natives. Bowser, who had been observing these events from the Doomship, is startled to see his children all running into the helm, tumbling on top of him, screaming for help. Known that they've been defeated, the Doomship flies back through the Warp Pipe into the Mushroom Kingdom. Afterwards, Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad have all met up again. Mario thanks Princess Toadstool for helping them save the continents of the Real World from the Koopas. Princess Toadstool reminds Mario that after all the times that he and Luigi had saved the Mushroom Kingdom, it was the least she could do.

Trivia

 * This episode is likely inspired by the Koopalings' conquest of the 7 lands of the Mushroom World in the Super Mario Bros. 3 game.
 * The screen that Bowser uses to monitor the Koopalings from aboard the Doomship is very inconsistent. The location of the panels and the corresponding Koopalings are constantly being switched. In one scene, after the Marios defeat the Koopalings, Africa is incorrectly labeled as Australia, South America appears twice, and Toad appears over North America, despite not appearing in the scene with North America.
 * How the Koopalings all reached their continents is never explained, as they all appear to leave the Doomship one-by-one without stopping. Additionally, it was never shown as to how they got back to the Doomship at the end.
 * Despite entering the Real World, Toad didn't stop a single Koopaling.
 * Mario turning the Great Wall of China into a dragon to stop Bully appears to cause more trouble than what Bully actually did to it.
 * When Mario steals Hop's magic wand, Hop is incorrectly depicted as Hip, he is also depicted as Cheatsy when he parachutes to South America and when he finished telling Bowser his evil deed.
 * When the Koopalings get back to the Doomship at the end Cheatsy and Big Mouth are not seen.
 * Hip and Hop, being twins in the cartoon are sent to the Americas, two continents bordering each other.
 * When Kooky says, "With pleasure, Pop," Bully mouths the words but does not say them.
 * The Princess is portrayed in her dress two times. The first time is when she takes the wand off of Cheatsy, though only her arm is shown. The second time is in a screenshot of Bowser looking at the screen after the wands are recovered.
 * When Kooky tells Bowser that he turned the wild animals into stuffed animals, the animals are normal. They only appear as stuffed when Kooky is defeated.
 * Hop has Hip's hair in this episode momentarily.
