On the streets of an unknown city, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]], having been chained up in shackles, are being escorted by two [[Koopa Troopa]]s up to a courthouse with the words "JUST US" on its front. According to Mario, [[Bowser|King Koopa]] had captured them, and is putting them on trial for their lives.
On the streets of an unknown city, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]], having been chained up in shackles, are being escorted by two [[Koopa Troopa]]s up to a courthouse with the words "JUST US" on its front. According to Mario, [[Bowser|King Koopa]] had captured them, and is putting them on trial for their lives.


Inside the courtroom, Mario's group find themselves sitting before the defendant's table, with a Koopa Troopa lawyer standing on each side. [[Bailiff Mouser]] steps out of the judge's chamber and orders everyone to rise for His Honor, the Dishonorable Judge Koopa. The jury, which consists of a [[Phanto]], a [[Shy Guy|Shyguy]], a [[Birdo]] and a [[Pokey]] all rise, as does Mario's group. Judge Koopa then steps out of his chamber, sits down at his bench and bangs his gavel, stating that Koopa Kourt is in session. He then tells Bailiff Mouser to read the phony charges the two of them cooked up. Pulling out a note, Bailiff Mouser reads that Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad have been charged with disturbing the Koopa, plumbing without a license, and not eating their pasta. Bailiff Mouser asks the four of them how they plead, to which they all plead not guilty. Judge Koopa disregards what they said, claiming that they instead confessed to every crime.

Princess Toadstool tries to object to Judge Koopa's statement, but he merely bangs his gavel and proceeds to thumb through a law book, informing her that they have laws against sassing the judge. Toad fears that Judge Koopa is going to throw the book at them, and he responds by literally throwing the book at their table, telling them that their comments will get them another fifty years. Mario asks if his group gets to talk in their own defense, to which Judge Koopa informs him that he has five minutes. Before Mario can finish a single sentence, Judge Koopa announces that his time is up, and asks the jury if they have reached a decision yet. The jury starts talking amongst themselves, but Judge Koopa tells them to say "guilty", and threatens to feed them to a [[Piranha Plant]]. Upon hearing the threat, the jury quickly agrees that Mario's group is indeed guilty, and Bailiff Mouser relays the message to Judge Koopa, noting that everything had worked out like they planned.
