"'''Reign Storm'''" is the seventh episode of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. It aired alongside another episode of ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' entitled "[[Toddler Terrors of Time Travel]]." The episode before this episode is "[[Never Koop a Koopa]]." The episode name is a pun on "rainstorm."

[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and a crownless [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are walking towards a [[Warp Pipe]] in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] with a [[Mushroom Doctor|doctor]]. Princess Toadstool brings up the subject about how she shouldn't leave her kingdom to go visit the [[Earth|World]], but Mario and Luigi argue that she needs to take a vacation, and that her doctor recommended that she go.

[[Toad]], who is accompanying Princess Toadstool on her vacation, comes running up to the Warp Pipe wearing a bathing suit and carrying beach supplies. Toad announces that he can't wait to go to [[Hawaii]], but Princess Toadstool still has second thoughts. Just as Toad drags her down the pipe, Princess Toadstool tells Mario and Luigi to contact her if they have any trouble, but Mario gloats about how running the kingdom for her won't be hard.

Back in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario and Luigi are trying to give a speech to the [[Toad (species)|Mushroom People]] at the opening of a new dam. Koopa, however, quietly places a [[Bob-omb]] at the bottom of dam. It then blows it up and destroys the dam, just as Mario promises everyone that their village is never going to be flooded again.

The Nipper Plant then jumps out of the pipe and hops over to King Koopa to inform him that he intercepted and destroyed the Warp-o-gram message. Koopa then uses his [[Magic Wand|magic wand]] to communicate with Kooky, who is in his laboratory, completing the [[Robot Princess]] that he just built. After Koopa yells at Kooky to hurry up, Kooky finishes his project, and assures his father that nobody could ever suspect that the Robot Princess is a fake.

Back in the Mushroom Kingdom, Kooky activates the Robot Princess, which heads over to Toad's House, announcing that she's back from her vacation. Although Mario is thrilled to see Princess Toadstool again, Luigi asks where Toad is, and the Robot Princess tells him that Toad's staying behind for another week. As Mario and Luigi go inside with the Robot Princess, Koopa gloats about how he'll soon be in control of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Koopa then sends Kooky to Hawaii to keep an eye on Princess Toadstool, and make sure that she doesn't come back. Meanwhile, Mario and Luigi are startled to see that the Robot Princess ordered a new highway to be built out of quicksand, and to see the [[Mushroom Kingdom Fire Department]] extinguishing all [[Fire Flower|Fire Flowers]] in the kingdom.

Mario decides that they need to have a word with Princess Toadstool. However, when they go to meet her at Toad's House, they find the Robot Princess hugging King Koopa, who has been invited over for tea. Mario asks why the Robot Princess is being nice to Koopa, and she responds by saying that she intends on giving "her" kingdom to him. The Robot Princess then fires Mario and Luigi, and tells them that they have one hour to leave the kingdom. Koopa makes it fifteen minutes, and tosses the Mario Brothers off of the lawn. Mario then concludes that Princess Toadstool isn't herself anymore, and Luigi wonders what happened to her.

Meanwhile, at the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]], the Robot Princess is about to crown Koopa as King of the Mushroom Kingdom in front of a crowd of Mushroom People and the [[Koopalings]]. Mario, who is hiding behind a column with Luigi, wonders why the Robot Princess doesn't have a suntan.

Kooky then comes flying out of the Warp Pipe that Princess Toadstool and Toad came through to warn his father and also destroying the Robot Princess in the process, but is too late. King Koopa and the Koopalings realize that their plan is futile now, and they escape by running out of a window. Mario points out that taking a vacation in Hawaii was useful for Princess Toadstool, because it was there that she learned how to surf. Luigi comments that Koopa's the one who's going to need a rest. Mario and Luigi then welcome Princess Toadstool back home.
