[A kingdom of snow and ice is seen in the distance. Suddenly, magma drops upon the ice. A floating castle constructed of rock and lava with a monstrous figurehead in front flies toward the ice kingdom. It drops anchor and lands, opening its gates to release an army of turtle-like Koopas. A blue-robed Koopa magician, Kamek, appears from thin air.]
KAMEK: Behold! The King of the Koopas!
[Kamek strikes his wand upon the ground, signaling the Koopa army to turn in attention as their monstrous leader, Bowser, emerges. Bowser walks toward the ice castle.]
BOWSER: Open the gates! ...Or die.
[Large shadows loom within the ice palace. The gates open to reveal an army of much smaller but still determined penguins, whose king directs them. "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" begins to play.]
PENGUIN KING: Attack!
PENGUINS: (battle cries)
[The penguins charge forward and begin pelting the Koopas with snowballs and ice chunks, to little effect. The Penguin King signals them to hold their attack. "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" stops playing.]
PENGUIN KING: That is but a taste of our fury. Do you yield?
BOWSER: (chuckles) I do not.
[Kamek magically lifts up the penguins and tosses them aside. Bowser uses his fire breath to destroy the ice castle.]
PENGUIN KING: No...
BOWSER: Oh...
[Within the castle ruins shines a bright light. Kamek levitates ice blocks for Bowser to walk up toward the light. He reaches a shining Question Block, which he breaks open to reveal the Super Star.]
BOWSER: (laughs) I've finally found it. And now NO ONE CAN STOP ME!!!
[Scene cuts to a commercial for Super Mario Bros. Plumbing. Two men appear, Mario in a red hat and shirt and Luigi in green, both with large mustaches and wearing denim overalls and white gloves. They ride in a yellow van and demonstrate their plumbing skills.]
COMMERCIAL SINGER: ♪ We're the Mario Brothers, and plumbing's our game. We're not like the others who get all the fame. If your sink is in trouble, you can call us on the double. We're faster than the others, you'll be hooked on the brothers, uh! ♪
MARIO: (Italian accent) It's-a-me, a-Mario!
LUIGI: (Italian accent) And-a Luigi!
MARIO: Are you tired of-a paying too much for plumbing?
MARIO & LUIGI: Mamma mia!
MARIO: That's-a why the Super Mario Brothers are here! To-a save Brooklyn!
LUIGI: And-a Queens!
MARIO: And-a your wallet!
COMMERCIAL ACTRESS: Thank you, Super Mario Bros.! It seems like the only thing you haven't drained is my bank account...
