Editing Mario (film character)

The brothers' van breaks down on their drive back home, and Mario enlists Luigi to check a local payphone for possible plumbing jobs while he enters a store to get water to cool the van's radiator. As he is leaving the store, he sees Luigi hand the phone to a girl named Daisy. Mario encourages Luigi to talk to the woman and offer her a ride, which she agrees to. Later that night, Mario and his girlfriend, [[Daniella]], along with Luigi and Daisy, have a double-date at an Italian restaurant called the Bella Napoli. Daisy discusses her excavation project where her team has found the possible location of the impact site of the meteor that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. During dinner, as Daisy and Luigi display romantic chemistry, Mario decides that he and Daniella will take the van home, while Luigi and Daisy can walk home to get to know each other better.

Mario and Daniella leave in the van, unaware that they are being followed by [[Iggy (film character)|Iggy]] and [[Spike (film character)|Spike]], two of [[President Koopa]]'s minions, thinking that Daniella was Daisy in disguise. After Mario drops her off at her apartment, he does not hear her screams as she is kidnapped. While Mario is home, Luigi and Daisy arrive urgently asking for help as workers of Scapelli Construction have flooded the excavation team's tunnel. Mario and Luigi arrive to fix the pipelines, but are knocked out by Iggy and Spike and the pair kidnaps Daisy.

The two unknowingly travel between parallel dimensions, arriving at the alternate [[Dinohattan]] dimension. They continue chasing after Daisy, who is taken into a cab and the car disappears. Two policemen pull the brothers away from the cab, and they take in their surroundings, finding themselves in [[Koopa Square]]. The brothers soon begin to realize their environment is a darker, hostile and grittier city, not resembling Brooklyn. An [[Old lady|older lady]] approaches the brothers and warns them of the dangers of the city. After learning they are unarmed, she unexpectedly tasers them with a stun stick and attempts  to mug them. She takes interest in Daisy's rock necklace and takes it from Luigi, before she is mugged by [[Big Bertha (film character)|Big Bertha]], who leaps away with the rock necklace in her [[Thwomp Stompers]].  

The brothers then encounter [[Toad (film character)|Toad]], a street musician who plays an anti-Koopa song for them. He is promptly arrested when two police cars arrive, and the brothers are taken with. At the police station, Mario and Luigi reveal to Sergeant Simon both their last names are "Mario" which confuses him, and are then taken to be de-fungused by the [[Fungus Unit]]. They are quarantined and placed into prison cages, with Toad in the cell above them playing a song for the brothers about how they are from a different dimension. Still confused, they ask Toad what he means and he begins to explain that the meteorite strike divided the universes into two parallel dimensions, and Mario and Luigi are from the other dimension.

Sergeant Simon removes Mario and Luigi from their cells and takes them to an office room. There, President Koopa attempts to gain their trust by pretending to be their lawyer, for the intent of learning information as to where the "meteorite piece" is. As the brothers are unaware Daisy's necklace is a meteorite piece, they express that they don't know what he's referring to, and an angry President Koopa begins jamming his fingers into Luigi's eye. Mario pushes him off him before being stunned by Sergeant Simon. President Koopa takes the brothers to the [[Devo Chamber]] to threaten them as to what their fate will be if they don't reveal the meteorite piece's location. He demonstrates the Devo Chamber's abilities by turning Toad into a [[Goomba (film species)|Goomba]]. Enraged over Toad's fate, Mario pushes Koopa into the Devo Chamber chair, and has a short fight with Sergeant Simon, punching him to the ground. Mario and Luigi escape out of the room, with Goombas following them and they hide behind support beams. Luigi finds a [[Bob-omb]] on growing fungus but Mario nudges him away before he takes it, and the two head into a police garage. They steal a police car with Mario behind the wheel and drive off as more police cars begin pursuing after them.  

After a short chase and battle with the opponent cars, they escape by driving into an unfinished tunnel. The car's navigation system warns them that there isn't a route to continue driving on and the car shuts down due to it leaving the city's power grid. The car continues driving straight and drives off the unfinished end of the tunnel, falling off a cliff. The overgrown fungus plaguing the city saves them from the fall, catching the vehicle and safely dragging it closer to the floor. They exit the car and realize they are in the barren and desolate [[Koopahari Desert]], and become lost. They begin to argue over who is to blame for their situation.  

The brothers find Daisy in [[Devo 4]], where she introduces them to [[The King]], who is the de-evolved fungus that has been growing throughout the city. Mario then learns from Daisy that Daniella is being held prisoner as well, and Mario rushes off to save her. He eventually reaches the Goomba Barracks room they are held at, defeating the Goomba guarding it and saving the women inside. He places a barricade in front of the door, preventing more Goombas from entering, and he begins to work opening the ventilation shaft. Mario takes a mattress from the Goombas, sets it down on the pipe and he and all the kidnapped women ride it down the ventilation system. They escape out to Koopa Square, pursued by Goombas riding a mattress of their own and encounter Koopa himself.   

Koopa then approaches them with a flamethrower, declaring that he has won, but announcements from his communicator distract him. This gives Luigi enough time to grab a Thwomp Stomper's cartridge, which he gives to Mario. He then activates a Stomper, where it flies toward Koopa and knocks him onto a vat in the streets. Mario follows him down to fight, one of his hits knocking the meteorite piece, which was on Daisy's necklace, to the ground. Lena picks it up and runs off with it, and Daisy and Luigi follow her. Mario stays behind to fight Koopa on catwalks over the city, distracting him making him believe he is in possession of the rock pendant. To do so, he uses one of his shoelaces to wield the string to resemble a necklace.  

The brothers arrive in the city of Koopa Kingdom (the manga's equivalent of Dinohattan), and the two begin exploring their unusual environment. Mario notices a sticky fungus layer over various city surfaces, and a city resident shares his personal belief that it is the former city's King's revenge for Koopa dethroning him. Mario plucks a mushroom off the fungus, and the man warns him it is an [[Bakudan Kinoko|exploding mushroom]] as he walks away. Mario tosses it, laughing in disbelief, and the exploding mushroom blasts him, sending him flying and crashing near a woman pushing her unhatched egg child on a stroller. Mario is taken aback, realizing that the civilians in this city are born from eggs. Mario asks a different man who Koopa is, and the man points to a large billboard of him on a wall.  

Mario continues picking exploding mushrooms off the fungus despite Luigi's protests. Koopa arrives holding Daisy, with his Goomba army following behind. He shouts over a megaphone demands to get the meteorite back from the brothers. Daisy warns Mario and Luigi not to, explaining that the meteorite has the powers to combine the parallel dimensions giving Koopa the ability to conquer both worlds. Mario is surprised at the necklace's power, and creates a quick diversion, handing Koopa an exploding mushroom with a string tied to it to simulate the appearance of the meteorite necklace. This gives Daisy the ability to run away with Luigi and the real necklace. The exploding mushroom explodes in Koopa's hand, leaving behind a fungus residue he is disgusted at. He begins pleading for his Goombas to clean him off as Mario readies to throw another. Before he is able to, the dimensions of Earth and the Koopa Kingdom merge into one, teleporting Mario and Koopa to Earth.
