Realizing that he has dropped the babies, who are now running away, Koopa calls for his [[Albatoss]] minions to appear and capture the fleeing babies. Hearing Koopa's command, several Albatosses, all of whom are brandishing [[Bomb Net]]s, appear and begin to drop their nets on the babies. Approaching the fleeing babies, the Albatosses drop their nets on them, which fall on to and trap the babies, allowing Koopa to capture them with little effort. | Realizing that he has dropped the babies, who are now running away, Koopa calls for his [[Albatoss]] minions to appear and capture the fleeing babies.

Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad, having recently been deposited from a slide, notice, from behind some nearby pillars, King Goo Goo Ga Ga Koopa capturing the children, who Mario realizes are the three old men who had been encountered by him and the others earlier. As Koopa enters a nearby fortress, carrying the three babies, Luigi hears a noise emanating from the fortress. As Luigi presses his ear against a wall of the fortress, Luigi is instructed by Mario and Princess Toadstool to look in a window of the fortress with them. Inside the fortress, Mario, Luigi and the Princess see several babies doing a variety of tasks, such as carrying logs and polishing a floor, all under the supervision of [[Koopa Troopa]]s. | Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad, having recently been deposited from a slide, notice, from behind some nearby pillars, King Goo Goo Ga Ga Koopa capturing the children, who Mario realizes are the three old men who had been encountered by him and the others earlier.

Sent tumbling towards the ground, Mario lands in a pile of leaves, while the Princess bounces off a branch of the tree. Rushing to Mario, Luigi and Toad point out to him that the Princess, who is now holding a twig, has bounced directly into a nearby canyon with a river at the bottom of it. As she falls into the canyon, giggling, the Princess' diaper gets caught on a tree branch sticking out of a wall of the canyon. Seeing that there is still a chance to save the Princess, Mario, using some tree branches and a large leaf, creates a hang glider and uses it to swoop down into the canyon where the Princess is. Getting close to the Princess, Mario grabs her and begins to glide back up the canyon; as he glides, though, the Princess begins to tickle him, which causes him to laugh so hard that he loses his grip on his hang glider and is sent plummeting down into the canyon below, while the Princess safely descends into the canyon, still hanging on to the hang glider. | Sent tumbling towards the ground, Mario lands in a pile of leaves, while the Princess bounces off a branch of the tree.

Later, as Mario washes some mud off himself by a waterfall, Toad tells him once again that babysitting is not too hard and keeps watch on the Princess, who is sitting on a nearby raft. Wanting to keep the Princess occupied and out of the river her raft is on, Toad gives her a pinwheel; once she gets this pinwheel though, she blows on it with enough force to move the raft down the river. As the Princess is propelled down the river, with her raft being slowly eaten by [[Trouter]]s, Toad, panicking, yells for Mario and Luigi to help him save the Princess from being eaten by voracious Trouters. | ||
As she flows down the river on the raft, Princess Toadstool, oblivious to the danger surrounding her, grabs a Trouter from the river and throws it towards Mario, Luigi and Toad; attempting to flee this Trouter, Mario and Luigi climb a tree to escape it while Toad runs from it. This tree offers little aid to Mario or Luigi though, as the Trouter simply chews through the trunk of it, causing the tree to fall into the river. As the brothers sail down the river on the collapsed tree, Toad, using several rocks as stepping stones, manages to hop on to the tree they are on. As they sail down the river on the tree, the brothers, after being alerted by Toad to the nearby Princess, whose raft is almost been entirely eaten by Trouters, take out their plungers and use them as oars to pull alongside the Princess' raft. Once close enough to the Princess, Mario, after tying a rope to his plunger, uses it to grab the Princess and pull her in to the arms of Luigi. Toad then complains that there isn't much sitting in babysitting, but Luigi assures him that there will be once they get her to take a nap. | As she flows down the river on the raft, Princess Toadstool, oblivious to the danger surrounding her, grabs a Trouter from the river and throws it towards Mario, Luigi and Toad; attempting to flee this Trouter, Mario and Luigi climb a tree to escape it while Toad runs from it.

In the front of Koopa's castle, the Princess is crawling along the ground near the Fountain of Youth, chasing several fireflies. Having caught up to the Princess, Toad sees that she is going to fall into the fountain and quickly has Mario rush over to her and pick her up before she falls into the fountain again. It is only when he gives the Princess to Toad that Mario sees that King Goo Goo Ga Ga Koopa has taken the fountain's controls. As Luigi bemoans the loss of the controls, saying without them, Princess Toadstool will never be returned to normal, Mario cheers him up, saying that all that needs to be done to repair the fountain is to reverse the flow of its water. After saying this, Mario goes over to Koopa's castle and opens a door on it, exposing a room filled with pipes. | In the front of Koopa's castle, the Princess is crawling along the ground near the Fountain of Youth, chasing several fireflies.

After saying this, Mario goes over to Koopa's castle and opens a door on it, exposing a room filled with pipes. | ||
After getting all the pipes they need, Mario and Luigi, after some work, make a large piping system extending from the fountain. Before either Mario or Luigi can activate this piping system, though, King Goo Goo Ga Ga Koopa, riding an Ostro rocking horse, barges out of his castle towards the brothers. As Koopa barrels down towards them, Mario and Luigi, grabbing a large pipe, use it to catapult Koopa through the air and into the Fountain of Youth. After crashing into the fountain, Koopa emerges from the fountain as an infant version of himself and storms off, sobbing and vowing revenge on Mario and Luigi. | After getting all the pipes they need, Mario and Luigi, after some work, make a large piping system extending from the fountain.
