[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] arrive at [[Peach's Castle|the palace]] of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], where a party is scheduled to take place in the evening. There is a huge mess in the plumbing, however; all the pipes are mixed up and disconnected. The Mario Bros. quickly get to work (Luigi getting stuck in the mess) and eventually clean up the plumbing except for a disconnected [[Warp Pipe|green pipe]] that they had not seen before. Mario then finds a giant pipe that also was not there before and peeks inside, only for a [[Jumping Piranha Plant]] to leap up and chomp on his nose. At that moment, more large pipes start popping out of the ground, and Mario and Luigi flee the basement, only to find that numerous pipes have already sprung up in the courtyard.

===Issue 33 (February 1992)===

In the explosion, Mario and the group are sent flying away and land in the forest, across the moat. The princess insists that Luigi should give her clothes back, while Friendly Floyd leaves after the group refuses to buy more bombs. The five characters cheer as they start on their way back to the Mushroom Kingdom, their journey seemingly at an end.

However, Mario stops the group when he remembers that they arrived where they are through the pipe, which is hanging in the sky. Although Luigi, Toadstool, and Toad panic at first, Toad thinks to use the cape to fly back to the Mushroom Kingdom and send a rescue team for the group. The other characters send him off, and later in the day, their rescue party arrives. As they climb up the ladder leading into the pipe, however, the leading Toad kicks Mario back down and slices it, sending Mario and Luigi falling back to the ground. The Toad then reveals himself to be Bowser and takes the princess back up the pipe, which is revealed to be part of a ship hiding itself in the clouds, Toad revealing that Bowser's forces have taken control of the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario and Luigi try to chase after them, but Bowser sends [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s to stop them. Mario is able to jump on them, while Yoshi starts eating them, growing a pair of wings after eating one with a [[Blue Shell|blue shell]]. Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi try to fly after Bowser, but they have lost him, and when Mario asks Yoshi where Bowser went, Yoshi spits out the shell to answer, and they fall to the ground. Picking themselves up after the crash landing, they find that they have landed in front of a [[Ghost House|gloomy-looking house]].

*Luigi's fear of ghosts (most prominently shown beginning with ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'').

*Bowser showing a humorous side as well as his romantic interest in Peach (albeit preceded by the anime film ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', and first seen in the games starting with ''[[Paper Mario]]'') and having a [[Magikoopa]] advisor ([[Kamek]] has since filled this role).

*The idea that Yoshi can say only his name (introduced in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''), though later games show that while he verbally speaks his name, other characters can still understand what he is saying.

==Trivia==

*Bowser's threatening to turn the [[Toad (species)|Mushroom People]] into stone might be a reference to the manual in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', as its plot summary states that Bowser brought a spell that turned the Mushroom Kingdom residents into inanimate objects, just like early in the comic.

*''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]] would both have a scenario where Luigi would have to take Peach's place, having to wear her dress and a wig, so as to retrieve the stolen [[Beanstar]]. However, in this instance, rather than wearing a mask, he simply covers his mustache with his hands, which ultimately gives him away.
