## Synopsis

LEGO BOWSER LIVES!!! At least, that's Bowser's plan. To get the Mario Brothers to step on a LEGO! Honestly, is there a pain worse than stepping on a LEGO? Regardless, Bowser gets his Hammer Brothers to build him a monstrous LEGO of himself! But this brick built bully gets a new life, once a certain wizard gets involved with the plan!

## Plot

In Bowser's lair, Kamek, Bowser Junior and Chief Hammer Bro are all talking with each other when Bowser interrupts them, revealing to them his latest scheme, a LEGO version of himself. Bowser is impressed since the box is "two Bowsers tall" but Kamek points out that it's just LEGO and can't move or do anything. Bowser notes that Kamek can fix that, but he refuses, since he hurt his back the last he built something of LEGO. Since the box is labeled "18 and up" Junior can't build it either, so Bowser summons the Hammer Bros and orders them to do it instead. As Kamek watches on, Bowser points out that, if the LEGO Bowser falls apart, the Mario Brothers will hurt their feet on the spilled LEGO pieces and "there's no worse pain." However, Kamek points out only he and Junior are barefoot, so Bowser runs off to buy him and Junior some shoes, leaving Chief in charge. Chief then orders the Hammer Bros to build the LEGO in song (much to Kamek's chagrin).

The Hammer Bros sing a song as they assemble the LEGO Bowser, and soon Chief reveals the finished version to Bowser, Kamek & Junior. However, Bowser is upset when Chief reveals that the LEGO Bowser can't destroy Mario since it can't move, and Mario won't be able to step on it. Kamek then uses his magic to bring the LEGO Bowser to life, impressing the real one, who names it his "best minion ever" (to the displeasure of both Kamek & Chief). He then introduces himself to his LEGO counterpart and sends him off to destroy the brothers.

Over at the Mario Brothers home, Mario asks Luigi what he wants to do, and Luigi suggests what they do every day (though Luigi admits he has no idea what that is). Before they can decide, they hear a loud noise and decide to investigate. There, they are shocked to find Bowser, though Luigi realizes he's not the real one when he gets his name correct. LEGO Bowser then introduces himself and Mario goes to attack him, but his LEGO spikes are too sharp and he injures himself. Luigi doesn't fare much better (and accidentally reminds him he can shoot fire) and both Brothers seem helpless against the blocky Bowser. Mario tries to grab him by the tail, but fails to do so, with Toad & Yoshi then suddenly appearing. The two offer their assistance, but quickly fall to the LEGO Bowser as well, who also sets Mario on fire. Eventually, the real Bowser shows up, explaining his he wanted to destroy them for a long time, and that having them step on a LEGO was the best way to do that. Kamek, Chief & Junior all appear and help him capture the others, and Bowser praises his LEGO duplicate, who points out Bowser was the one who brought him to life. Kamek then reminds them that he actually did that, and admits he was wrong when Bowser points out that he said it wouldn't work. Junior then notices Iggy nearby and he goes off to check out the LEGO Bowser (with Junior pointing out Iggy was not in the previous scene, leading to the 4th Wall gag). Iggy meets the LEGO Bowser and is happy to learn there is also a LEGO Iggy. Spike then appears and uses a device Iggy made on the LEGO Bowser, which will give him free will instead of making him a "mindless drone." LEGO Bowser takes offense to the idea he is considered that, even though regular Bowser explains how important the former is to him, However, the device has some kinks, and the LEGO Bowser decides to take command, and set out to rule the world and the universe (with Bowser noting he's already done that). LEGO Bowser then orders Chief to leave with the prisoners and takes Iggy away to make more of his device. Kamek of course, takes advantage of this to point out he was right, and is ordered to stop the LEGO Bowser, but is taken out by his fire. LEGO Bowser then scares off Junior before leaving with his captives. Seeing no other choice, Bowser tells Mario they need to work together to stop the LEGO him. Mario agrees, and realizes the LEGO Bowser is an exact copy of the normal one, so it has his fears as well. Though Bowser claims he has no fears, Mario heads off to Sarasaland.

At Sarasaland, Princess Daisy is looking at some baby pictures of Luigi Dr. Mario is showing her, when Mario arrives, surprised to see his Dad there. Mario reveals Bowser (whom Daisy is not pleased to see) and explains the situation, and Daisy is eager to help after learning Luigi is in danger. The heroes soon arrive at Bowser's castle, where he is angry to see his LEGO doppelgänger leading his minions. With LEGO Bowser, he makes Iggy king (who is happy, since he can rule with his "computer girl") in exchange for upgrades, which brings Kamek, Junior & Chief over. Kamek refuses to accept Iggy as king, but the power hungry Koopaling orders LEGO Bowser to show them the door. He then asks about the prisoners and Chief reveals they are in chains, but Junior refuses to refer to Iggy as sir, preferring "dweeb" instead (leading LEGO Bowser to shoot his fire, which hits Kamek). Iggy & Spike then discuss Iggy's 15 minutes of fame, but Bowser shows up. LEGO Bowser greets the "inferior" version of him and Bowser offers him a new LEGO set, which turns out to be a box; from it, Daisy emerges, scaring off the LEGO Bowser, and allowing normal Bowser to ground Iggy for his treachery. Spike yells at Bowser for messing with the king, only to be stomped by Dr. Mario. Dr. Mario then asks what Bowser hates most, revealing it to be lava, and sending Mario to find some and put LEGO Bowser into it. However, it turns out to be 4:00, which means it is time for Bowser's "lava bubble bath" (which Dr. Mario is not keen to hear more about). Mario then leaves to find lava, with Dr. Mario taking the opportunity to hit Bowser, (which the Koopa King considers rude).

In another part of the castle, Daisy is still chasing the LEGO Bowser and he finds himself cornered by her and the lava bubble bath, so he decides to fight her and Mario, setting her on fire. Mario attacks the LEGO Bowser and ends up knocking Iggy's device off of him, surprising him and Bowser that it could come off so easily (leading to Bowser double grounding Iggy for not telling him this). Daisy then attacks LEGO Bowser with her butt and her hip and shows Mario the proper way to attack him, and Mario realizes since he is made of LEGO, his pieces come off. The two then rip off his legs and use them to kick LEGO Bowser into the lava, destroying him for good. A distraught Chief then dives into the lava hoping to save the LEGO Bowser, while Dr. Mario returns with the other prisoners. Mario rides off on Yoshi and Daisy grabs Luigi as they head off. Bowser laments his failure and Kamek says he can use it to learn a lesson- don't come up with stupid plans, like getting Mario to step on a LEGO. Junior also tells his dad he is the only Bowser which he admits is the case and asks what happened to the LEGO him. Kamek admits he was likely destroyed, and Iggy appears to say "that's the way the brick breaks" before being reminded he is grounded and leaving. Bowser then sends Junior after Iggy before heading "back to the evil drawing board," with Kamek replying that he thought Bowser would never say that.

Before the end are a couple of bloopers.
