As Mario's group reaches the castle, they spy on a [[Koopa Troopa]] collecting everyone's money. One of the Flab Boys runs towards the castle, and it takes the combined strength of Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad to stop him. Mario explains that he has a plan; To have Princess Toadstool dress up like a rapper and offer a bag of coins to the Koopa Troopa that Toad is hiding in. Just as Princess Toadstool hands over the bag with Toad to the Koopa Troopa, Rappin' Koopa announces that Princess Toadstool's disguise is fake, and the Koopa Troopas uncover the real Princess. | As Mario's group reaches the castle, they spy on a [[Koopa Troopa]] collecting everyone's money.

Mario tells the others that they need to save Princess Toadstool, who soon gets tied up by the Koopa Troopas. As they run towards the castle, the Flab Boys create a small tremor, causing Mario and Luigi to fall over. Because they all had to stop, the Koopa Troopas start to bring Princess Toadstool into the castle. The Flab Boys try to stop the Koopa Troopas by throwing records at them, but they are ineffective. Mario manages to hit the Koopa Troopas with his plunger, causing Princess Toadstool to fly out of their hands and into the claws of Rappin' Koopa. | Mario tells the others that they need to save Princess Toadstool, who soon gets tied up by the Koopa Troopas.

Toad, Princess Toadstool and King James manage to meet up with Mario, Luigi and the Flab Boys outside the castle, where King James points out that they need to cut off Rap Land's power supply to stop Rappin' Koopa's takeover; a huge cord plugged into a hydroelectric dam. Luigi is afraid to pull the plug, as he fears that he will get electrocuted. Mario decides to do it, and is given a boost up to the outlet by Luigi and the Flab Boys. As Mario grabs onto the cord, he gets shocked, but the power surge transforms him into [[Fire Mario|Super Mario]], giving him the strength to unplug the cord.

With the power cut off, Rappin' Koopa announces an attack on the Mario Bros. At the same time, Mario's group readies themselves by giving Princess Toadstool and King James two [[Stereo Gun]]s that can shoot exploding records, while Toad puts on an army helmet and hides in a small hole. Mario poses as an announcer with a microphone, and Luigi takes on role of a DJ with twin turntables. | With the power cut off, Rappin' Koopa announces an attack on the Mario Bros.

Rappin' Koopa shows up with a portable turntable, and is accompanied by his Koopa Troopas and a flock of Albatoss. Mario tells Princess Toadstool and King James to stop the Albatoss, and they do so by firing exploding records at them. Mario then tells the Flab Boys to do a roll, and they respond by rolling down a hill, knocking out the Koopa Troopas on the way. | Rappin' Koopa shows up with a portable turntable, and is accompanied by his Koopa Troopas and a flock of Albatoss.
