One day at [[Bowser's Castle|Kastle Koopa]], [[Bowser|King Koopa]] is sitting on his throne. He was moaning about his aching head, just as he sandwiches a hot water bottle between it and his crown. With King Koopa is [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky von Koopa]], who mentions that his father seems to get headaches every time he gets defeated by [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. As Koopa places a second hot water bottle under his crown, he and Kooky note that he could have taken over the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] years ago had the Mario Bros. never gone down the [[Warp Pipe|drainpipe]] back in [[Brooklyn]]. As Koopa and Kooky speak, they fail to notice [[Toad]], who is hiding inside a flower pot, and spying on the duo through a periscope disguised as a flower. After some brief pondering, Kooky suggests that they can change history through the use of time travel, to which Koopa complies.

Later, onboard the [[Airship|Doomship]]. Kooky is making adjustments to his latest invention, the [[Time Travel Tube]], while Koopa, who appears to have gotten over his headache, argues that it will not be able to send them back in time. Kooky implies that he knows what he is doing, just as Toad retracts his parascope and gets out of his disguise. Toad mentions that he needs to alert Mario and Luigi right away, and leaves.

Sometime later, as a team of [[Hammer Bro]]thers are loading crates onboard the Doomship, Mario, Luigi and Toad arrive. Looking at one of the unloaded crates, Luigi comments that the three of them cannot fit inside it, but Mario disagrees, and forces them to squeeze inside one. Soon, a Hammer Brother picks up the crate that the they are hiding in, and complains about how heavy it is, while another Hammer Brother has no problem in carrying four crates at once. As the Hammer Brother carries the crate into the Doomship's helm, Koopa orders him to put it down against a wall. He hears Toad make a squeak from inside the crate, and goes to check it out. He asks Kooky if he heard anything to which Mario responds that it is just his imagination. Right before Koopa can inspect the crate, he is suddenly distracted by Kooky, who has managed to get the Time Travel Tube working.

Kooky states that he is going to take the two of them back in time to Brooklyn, just before noon, when the warp that sent Mario and Luigi to the Mushroom Kingdom opened up. As the Doomship takes off, Koopa takes control of the wheel, and demands that they hurry up. Kooky warns him not to rush the procedure, and sure enough, the Doomship starts shaking back and forth, eventually breaking the crate that Mario, Luigi and Toad were hiding in. Before Koopa can deal with them, Kooky, who is trying to fix the Time Travel Tube, explains that they are going too far back in time, just as the Time Travel Tube overloads, creating a large flash.

As the Doomship slows down, the flash fades, revealing that everyone onboard the Doomship has been turned into infant versions of themselves due to a glitch from the Time Travel Tube. After both sides settle into their younger bodies, Baby Kooky makes some more adjustments to the Time Travel Tube, just as the Doomship arrives in Brooklyn, and crashes in a vacant lot.

Mario, Luigi and Toad crawl out of the crashed Doomship, and Toad questions why they are still babies. Mario answers that the crash messed up the Time Tube, and that they do not have much time to get back to the apartment where they originally fell down the drain. Luigi suggests that they try to find a shortcut, while Koopa orders Kooky to follow them.

Mario, Luigi and Toad are then chased down a sidewalk by the baby [[Koopa Troop|Koopa]]s. Upon reaching an intersection, Toad has to stand on Mario and Luigi's backs in order to reach the crosswalk button. When Toad pushes the button, the walk symbol on the do not walk sign turns into a baby, and the crossing guard allows them to cross. After the babies all cross the street, Koopa and Kooky get caught in a jump rope that some kids are playing with. Mario, Luigi and Toad enter a back alley and take off with a stroller, a wagon, and a skateboard respectively. Koopa and Kooky hop into a baby carriage and use it to keep up with Mario's group, whom they corner in another alley. Just before Koopa and Kooky can enter the alley, an elderly woman mistakes them for normal babies, allowing Mario's group to make their escape. However, the woman is shocked to see that the babies are not human, and she runs off screaming. When Kooky notes that the "Mario Babies" got away, Koopa claims that they need to stop "kidding around".

After returning to the Doomship, Kooky makes some more adjustments to the Time Travel Tube, and succeeds in restoring himself and King Koopa to their proper ages. Koopa then announces that they are going to carry on with the next part of his plan.

Meanwhile, Mario's group arrives at the front door of the apartment where the drainpipe is. As Mario knocks on the door, it gets opened up by the lady inside, and he accidentally knocks on her knee. Although the lady assumes that the babies were abandoned, Mario tries to explain that they are plumbers, and the babies proceed to crawl into the apartment. The lady exclaims that plumbing is too dangerous for babies, so she picks them up and places them on her bed, where she expects them to take a nap.

Toad travels through a hose as if it were a Warp Pipe, and comes out in the alley next to the apartment. From there, he follows Koopa and Kooky back to the Doomship, and jumps onboard just as it takes off. Meanwhile, Koopa explains to Kooky that since the Mario Bros. are now stuck in Brooklyn as babies, they can return to the present and freely take over the Mushroom Kingdom. When the Koopas' backs are turned, Toad uses his parascope to snatch the Time Travel Tube, and uses it to restore himself to an adult (although this is never shown). Toad then places the Time Travel Tube by one of the Doomship's portholes, aims it at the apartment's basement window, and fires a beam at it.

The beam hits the pipe that Mario and Luigi are trapped in, and restores them to their adult selves, causing them to burst out of the pipe in the process. With only thirty seconds left before the warp opens up, Mario and Luigi hurry upstairs and rush to unclog everything that Koopa and Kooky shoved down the drain. After pulling out the actual clog that clogged the lady's drain in the first place, the lady thanks Mario and Luigi, and invites them to her party. However, Mario and Luigi have already filled the tub with water, and Mario explains that he and Luigi have a date with the [[Princess Peach|Princess]]. Mario and Luigi then jump into the tub and get warped down the drain along with the rest of the water.
