## Synopsis

The final 10 challenge is at a Bowling Alley! But what will be the outcome? Will our contestants bowl a perfect strike?

## Plot

With the contestants, Rotom wonders what the challenge will be, and Wario suggests it'll be eating a lot of food. Rosalina points out they did that for the very first challenge, but Wario admits he'd like to do it again. Pretty Bomber adds that she hopes they do something productive, while Rotom asks where Waluigi is. The latter is then seen approaching Luigi on a bed (humming John Williams' famous *Jaws* theme) but Luigi sees his coming (though Waluigi denies this and grabs his cousin). The hosts appear and Mew tells them there's no time to explain and they need to get into the car (actually a large question block). Mew is surprised they all fit, and Mewtwo asks to push them off a cliff, but Mew stops him.

At a bowling alley, Mewtwo explains it is a bowling challenge and they're going in reverse alphabetical order. Bowser seems a little unnerved and Rotom asks if he's afraid of a ball. In a confessional, Bowser explains that he's not good a bowling, showing a flashback of when he was younger and tried to do bowling with Kamek & Dark Star, only to use a Bob-omb and blow himself up; Bowser vows he'll do as good as he can, but calls his Magikoopa Mob to come and mess with his score (and to not tell Jerry). Back at Bowser's castle, his minions assemble and set out to obey their master's orders, though Goom Goom claims there is a spy in the group (it turns out to be Grinnade, from *Skylanders*).

Back with the contestants, Wario goes first, but gets gutterballs both times and is out. In the confessional after this, Wario decides he does not any more bowling games. Next is Waluigi and gets all but two pins his first throw, with Wario accusing him of cheating; for his second throw, he only manages to knock down one pin, earning a nine score. Rosalina is next up and gets seven pins, but fails to break the spare on her next throw with a gutterball. Rotom is up and gets a gutterball his first throw, but manages to get 7 pins the next time. Pretty Bomber is then up to the plate and gets her seven her first throw (and is congratulated by Meta Knight) but cannot beat the spare, missing one pin and tying with Waluigi at 9 points each. Meta Knight goes next but rolls gutterballs both times, accusing the game of being rigged ("no, you just suck at bowling"). Luigi is on tap next and becomes the first of them to get a strike (which Bowser admits does not help his confidence). Next on the line is Jazz, but she only manages to hit one pin (though Luigi notes she at least hit one, unlike Wario & Meta Knight) and gets a gutterball her second time. DJ Octavio does slightly better, getting 6 pins on his second try. Finally, it's Bowser, with Luigi giving him encouragement, but he only manages to get three pins; however, the scoreboard claims he got a strike instead, which Bowser chalks up to luck (but the others accuse him of cheating). At the end of the first round, Meta Knight & Wario are up for elimination, leaving the final five with four shots each.

Rotom is surprised to find his score messed with, but Rosalina assures him it's likely a glitch. Waluigi then goes first and gets several pins, then a gutterball, so he decides to cheat as well; however the hosts see him altering his score and eliminate him. In the confessional, he gives a rambling speech. Rosalina is next on board and gets 9 pins the first time, then beats the spare to earn a 10 on her second shot; she's reminded she has two more chances, and manages a gutterball for the third and only one pin on the last, but it still puts her in the lead. Pretty Bomber is next, but gets three gutterballs (with Mew commenting that she sucks and her replying that he sucks); she does hit some pins on her last shot, but it's not enough. In the confessional, PB she questions why she snapped at Mew, hoping it's not her dark side resurfacing. Luigi goes next and gets strikes both times, to the surprise of everyone, including the hosts; Waluigi accuses him of getting a big ego, but Luigi notes that he cheated. Bowser is the last to go and fails each time, but his score changes and he goes again, still only getting gutterballs (which Meta Knight mocks him). Since Luigi got three strikes, he is the winner and gets a trip to the claw machine as a prize ("Oh wonderful, I love Spider-Man").

Back at Stuffed Fluffed Island, the hosts confront Bowser and accuse him of cheating and reveal they know about his secret alliance (which the do because Bowser mentioned it when they told him they knew). Mewtwo also reveals they know of his alliance with his army, with Goom Goom apologize for what happened, saying the spy asked to see him strip, then told the hosts everything. Kamek adds that the spy convinced Jerry to rig the scores, but Bowser said he never approved of that and he only wanted them to rig **his** score. Jerry admits that the spy promised him a #5 from Pizza Castle if he ratted him out, so he did. Mew then introduces the spy, Grinnade, and he says he always suspected him and asks why he did it; Grinnade replies (via translation from Mew) that he wants to play fair. Mewtwo then offers Bowser two choices- remove his army and take a penalty of 2 votes, or keep them and be disqualified. Instead, Bowser tries to go for a third option, having his army attack them. His army soon surrounds the hosts, and Bowser sends Jerry to the Doom Cave as punishment for his actions (though he doesn't mind). Bowser then gives the hosts a chance of being fair or having the Bob-omb's in his army blow them up, but before they can agree to anything, Grave Clobber appears and, seeing his bosses in trouble, fights off the army. Mewtwo thanks him for not hurting him for once, while a Chargin' Chuck tackles Grave Clobber. Watching from nearby, Waluigi is impressed, but Wario is not, suggesting Bowser should not be mean or cheat; Waluigi wonders why he's changed, and Wario explains it happened after he saw Marie change as well, causing Waluigi to say he doesn't know him and run off. Mewtwo agrees to let Bowser stay, but says if he's eliminated, he'll be fired out of a bigger Boom Boom Hat and will have his minions fired at his face. In the confessional, Bowser is confident he'll stay, since everyone knows he's a bad guy, Wario comments on how he plans to no longer cheat, while Waluigi sings a parody of "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?" from *Frozen* about how he and Wario are losing touch.

Elsewhere on the island, Jazz comments on how the challenge sucked, and Octavio concurs. Both then question who they think will get eliminated, with Jazz suggesting Waluigi while Octavio wants Wario. Meta Knight appears (with Octavio criticizing his entrance) and suggests Bowser due to his cheating, with Octavio noting Bowser was around the whole time when Rotom's score was gone; Meta Knight suggests that Waluigi could've helped and they agree to vote for either of them. Elsewhere, Bowser confronts Rotom and admits he didn't cheat, but Rotom is skeptical, saying no one will believe that, and noting he's the guy with "the most villain clichés in the book," but Bowser insists it was one of the Magikoopa's faults. Kamek then interrupts and explains that Jerry wasn't responsible and neither was Grinnade, someone set them up; however, Rotom simply leaves, and Bowser decides it depends on the elimination ceremony to see if anyone believes him. Meanwhile, Luigi meets up with Waluigi in a darkened area and the latter complains about his problems and how Bowser got away with cheating while he didn't. Luigi explains that he didn't need to cheat, as he got 9 pins on his first try, and suggests Wario is learning the error of his ways, as Waluigi seems to. The purple guy is unsure of that though, but Luigi announces he plans to vote for Bowser due to the cheating and Waluigi agrees to join him, as does Pretty Bomber (who came from the restroom). Elsewhere, Rosalina confronts Bowser and asked if he messed with the scores to help her, and he admits he wanted her to do well, but it was because he stinks that he altered the scores. Rosie reveals she could've helped him, and Bowser feels he'll be voted off for his bad actions, but she assures him he can be good and that's okay, and wishes him the best.

Elimination time comes yet again, and the final two are Waluigi & Bowser, and Mew reveals one received 10 votes while the other got two. Waluigi asks how that is possible since there are only ten of them, but Mew simply notes that's he safe anyway and the king of the Koopas is out. Bowser admits he saw this coming and that "you made a bad move" but before he can charge the hosts, Mewtwo uses something to paralyze him. Mew then reveals the Boom Boom Fedora, which is like the Boom Boom Hat but "20% more neckbeard" which even Mewtwo thinks is too much. As promised, Bowser is hit in the face with his minions, then Jerry shows up wondering why his boss is being eliminated, with Bowser telling him he hates him (and Jerry replying that he loves him too). Mew then explains how Jerry's actions got a bad guy out of the game, and places the Magikoopa in the Boom Boom Hat, sending him out of the game as well as Bowser. Mew then signs off, but Mewtwo cuts him off at the very end.

Later, Rosalina muses over Bowser leaving and Waluigi approaches her, noting how Wario is acting different and nice, but Rosie tells him that can be a good thing. Waluigi then suggests they be friends, but Rosalina tells him they always were, and they head off to their bunks.
