"Up, Up, and a Koopa" is the twenty-first episode of Super Mario Bros. 3.

[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Peach are about to enjoy breakfast when suddenly they find themselves floating in the air! Bowser, along with Ludwig have been causing chaos in the Mushroom Kingdom by using a device called "The Raiser-Upper" (an obvious term for a gravity shifter) to reverse the gravity and send the kingdom to Sky World and have captured Sky World's king, Emperor Ed. After the Raiser-Upper experiences a malfunction, the king escapes and the gravity returns to normal. Mario and Luigi find two Super Leaves in order to lift the king to his castle. They return to the ground to tie everything to the ground to keep it from floating again (which obviously will not work).

Mario and Luigi are captured by Bowser and they sweet-talk the Rocky Wrench nearby to let them out. Toad and the Princess go to her castle to find two P-Wings to use to fly to the Doomship. Meanwhile, Bowser and Ludwig have fun by terrorizing both the Mushroom Kingdom and Sky Land using the "Chaos Mode" on the Raiser-Upper. Mario and the rest retrieve the Raiser-Upper and bring it to Toad's house to return the kingdoms to their normal positions and send the Doomship back to Bowser's Castle.

[edit] Trivia/Goofs

  • How Mario and the others took the Raiser-Upper to Toad's house is not shown nor explained.
  • Toad and Peach break the fourth wall as they are flying: Toad is struggling to fly and Peach tells him not to worry as "it's not like you're on some TV show with millions of people watching you."
