## Plot

The episode begins with Iggy showing Larry and Ludwig that he has finally finished the time machine as he got it to work properly as it will not only lets him travel to the past, but also to the future which has Larry impressed but as per usual, Ludwig doubtful. As Morton enters the room to asked his brothers about where can he find the burgers as none of them are in the fridge. As Larry tells him that they went to 1969 as Ludwig sees that as a fluke. After Ludwig and Morton left, Larry asked where are he and his brother travel to, but Iggy won't allow the others (especially Larry) to use the time machine after what had happened to the Koopalings (two each to three different timelines) which Larry gives out his defense that he and Ludwig stopped an Undergrunt invasion. Iggy ejects him from his room as he tells Larry that the "machine is for research only."

After Iggy leaves his room to get some soda, Larry gets Wendy, Roy, and Lemmy to show them the time machine as he tells the others that they don't have much time left. Wendy has asked her brother that if it a good idea, then Larry tells her the machine is fixed now. ignoring what the reminder Larry had told him, Morton enters the room with a food in his hand as he gets hungry. As Roy wanting that he'll go to twenty years to pick up a PS5 (at a lower price), also Wendy wanting to go fifty years to take a selfie somewhere which doesn't exist yet, but Larry suggest to go to the year 2100 (eighty years from now) as the Koopalings were caught by Ludwig. Ignoring his suggestion to leave alone, Larry uses the remote and the Koopalings jumped in the time machine, Ludwig joined in with them to skip a cabinet meeting about the toilet not flushed properly. They entered to 2100 to a futuristic Dark Valley (now named "Neo Dark Valley") as the Koopalings, except for Ludwig, were impressed with the future as Larry gave the remote to Morton. As the Koopalings goes their separate ways in the same timeline, Wendy and Roy are about to head to Goomburger as well as Morton and Lemmy are going to around the Valley to see "any cool new places", Larry gives them a curfew of to meet back at 5pm so they can go back to the castle, even though Ludwig won't hesitate to leave the others in the future if they're late.

Speaking of the castle, the two Koopalings entered in the Koopa Castle with the futuristic look, as Ludwig make sure Bowser doesn't turn his room into a broom closet, Larry make sure that he moved out by the time their father did that. Unfortunately for them, they meet up with King Bowser Koopa III (a way older version of Jr) who had a son named Prince Baron Koopa II, who's his heir to the throne, asking if his father had taken his medication, which Jr won't hesitate to take him out of this world. After Jr left, Baron continued on the conversation as he gotten back from the bar in his hovercar as Ludwig sees that he is like his grandfather, who the prince was pretty close with him and lets his grandson fly an airship. As Ludwig wonders if his dad will let him to fly an airship, unfortunately for the two, Baron tells them that Bowser died in 2072, but to cheer Larry up, he tells that he got to live up to be 102 years old after giving up alcohol. As the crown prince gets the news from the Hammer bros about an Undergrunt base location, Baron tells the two about his great grandfather used to work for Major Burrows, who ultimately betrayed the Bowser Sr in the 1950s as the Undergrunt started working with an anti-Koopa criminal organizations. But even though much to his relief, Baron tells them that he and the group disappeared in 1969, he also unfortunately gets reports that the Undergrunts are back as people assumed Burrows got arrested. As he is about to get going, Baron lets them stick around as he's got the arcade, as Larry asked about if it had Fortnite, the prince wonders if the originals or the sequels which has both Larry excited to hear that it has sequels and Ludwig annoyed.

While in the more futuristic Goomburger, Wendy and Roy has an encounter with a much different Dedede, who got him aggravated over what he said about Roy's glasses comment. As Wendy tells him that the two are here to order as Dedede tells the two that this is the 22nd Century, that they can go to their seats as the place has got tablets. As Wendy and Roy are ordering the food from the tablets, they have encountered Ceecee and Luka (who are the Lucy and Courtney of the future) as the two Koopa girls tells them about Dark Valley has gotten a complete remodel at the late 2030s. As Ceecee and Luka are rambling on with questions, the two have made fun of Wendy and Roy as "zoomers".

At a extended store known as the Bass Station, Morton and Lemmy are observing the place as it has a game corner, a changing room, a play area, and best of all for Morton...lots of food. As the two Koopalings are about to check out, they have a bump in from the two Chargin Chucks, who made fun of his hair which Lemmy ignored his insult. As the they enter a to a self check-out, Morton thinking the machine is A. Byzmal (the previous owner) as it pointed out to him that the Kremling is at the nursing home as the computerized check-out tells the two to "place the items onto the bagging area." Lemmy was shocked to see he has gotten beer to purchase as he tells Morton that they're not able to get away with it, when he shows the ID card, Morton gets identified at the age of ninety-five, makes a successful purchase. After Morton and Lemmy left the bass station, the two Undergrunts, Monty and Sargent Rubble, as the boss tells them that they could stop by to pick up some supplies as an Undergrunt has seen that Morton left the time remote at the ballpit.

Later at 5pm as the four Koopalings discussing their times at both the castle and Goomburgers, Morton and Lemmy joined in later, assuming they have thrown beer at the Chargin Chucks then the six Koopalings had been busted by an angry Iggy, as he returned after getting his soda as he saw the time machine was left open. As Iggy demands an explanation of why the Koopalings had been using his time machine, Roy explained the reason why they used it was the time machine was left open as Wendy tells him to see if he was okay which Iggy saw the Koopalings in town while he was in the future as he doesn't believe their made up stories. As Iggy is about to get them to go home with him, Morton just realized that he left the remote back at the ballpit at the Bass Station as Iggy gets angry at him for his shenanigans.

At the east of the valley in their secret base, Monty and Rubble have informed to a more mechanical Lieutenant Gunn, who was both once a Sargent and believed to be killed in action during a battle against Larry and Ludwig, that they have a time remote as he was needing more parts for the machine. As Gunn isn't that impressed what the time remote does, he tells the two about his beef with the Koopa Troop as he used to work in the Koopa Troop back in the 1960s, as an airship mechanic, he gave an idea to King Bowser Koopa I, a new weapon that runs on electricity, which Bowser Sr deems it "too destructive" as well as Gunn getting fired from the position for keeping on pestering Koopa Troop with his idea. And just two months after being fired, Major Burrows found him at a bar as he gave him a job designing weapons for the Undergrunts. As Rubble tells him that he joined them because his job application with Goomburger got turned down, Gunn tells the two to get back to work.

Meanwhile inside the bass station, the Koopalings are looking for the time remote that Morton had lost. As they encountered to Luka and Ceecee again, the two gets asked about the time remote which they tell the Koopalings they remember seeing the Undergrunts are the ones who took the time Remote from the ballpit as Morton took it out his shells to make room for chicken wing. After heading to the Undergrunts secret base, the two admits that the Koopalings are weird.

Later at the Dark Valley Woods, Larry is too terrified to be in this part of the valley as his siblings try to get him conquer the fear, as they're going to find the Undergrunts base. Even though Iggy tells Larry there's nothing to be afraid, Roy is also afraid because of "the dead trees, or the purple sky, or the suspiciously creepy music". But the Koopalings were stopped by an Undergrunt on a flying cannon, as Ludwig try using the same method back from the previous episode at 1969, but gets hit by an electric ball. As the Koopalings ran away from an Undergrunt, they were ceased by five more Undergrunts as they run towards the opposite direction as they have find the Undergrunts base. Ludwig tells the others that the one way to get in is to "take a lot of preparation, accuracy, and teamwork" but Larry suggested they can go through the woods as they "can get in through the backdoor unnoticed" which the other agreeing with the latter's plan.

Back at the basement, Monty and Rubble informed about the Koopalings have been spotted as they're trying to get in the base, and one of the Security grunts hitting "a kid with a singular fang," describing Ludwig. As Gunn remember Ludwig, Monty tells the Lt that he is with six others, as Gunn asked if one of them is Larry by his discription as "a weedy, pussy looking one with a star-shaped birthmark on his head" which he orders Rubble to take care of the Koopalings and asked Monty if he still has a remote. But Monty tells him that he threw it in the trash because the Lieutenant said it was worthless, before Gunn tells him to get it out. As they're about to head into the base, Morton burped loudly as he almost draw attention to two Undergrunt Security members, but we're stopped by Rubble as Roy starting to run away. Rubble is about to blast him, but his blaster was out of ammo which Roy blindsides the Sarge, saving the others.

As he hears a door open, Gunn hears a door open as he tells his minions to just knock the door before noticing the Koopalings. Larry wondered how did the Lieutenant survive the machine explosion, as Gunn tells them that the explosion had damaged his internal organs, but was fixed up by the medical experts by keeping him alive with a roboticl heart. He also pointed them out that he is awake in 2039 after in a coma for 70 years, in which he continues his pursuit of revenge. Interrupting the conversation, Iggy demands Gunn to give them back the remote, or else the Koopalings will use a blaster on him (even though it's only on 4%) as Monty retrieved the time remote from the trash as the Lieutenant told him to go get it, before getting tackled by Morton and Lemmy. Before Iggy could go get the remote, Gunn has hit him with his cannon as well as destroying the cannon, that Roy carries. Gunn has retrieved the remote, as he goes into the portal, then Morton tried jumping inside but he's too late as it closed.

After failing to get the remote, Iggy was already pissed at his siblings for their shenanigans as they're stuck in 2100 as he goes on a raging rant how every time he tries to create a new machine as they invite themselves so they can hijack it for their own selfish reasons, and swear them off to finish his rant. He tells them that they're going to look for a place to stay which has Larry remembered that the Koopalings could head to the castle as he guessed that the original time machine is in there. But before they can do that, Morton and Roy suggested they could go to Goomburger but Iggy demands them that they are going to the castle and looking for a time machine, but the Koopalings are siding with Morton and Roy as they go to Goomburger, to be continued for the next episode.

## References to other episodes

* There were some references to the first Time Travel Trouble. (i.e. at the begin cutscene where Iggy won't allow Larry to use the time Machine after he told everyone about it, as well as Morton's near death experience and Roy's affair with Virgina, the cutscene where Prince Baron tells Larry and Ludwig about the Undergrunts and Major Burrows even though the dissappearance was because of the Portal send him back to the Ice Age, in the scene where Ludwig try to jump onto the top of the cannon, before getting hit.)
* At the cutscene where Larry and Ludwig meets with Bowser Jr, who is the king at 2100, was a reference to a Bowser's Koopalings Christmas special, *It's A Not So Wonderful Life*, where he also was a King, but unlike that episode's future King who was tyrannical and ruling with an iron fist, this episode's Jr is a very old and very cranky King.
	+ At the same cutscene with the same episode reference but different demises, where Prince Baron tells Larry and Ludwig that Bowser passed away, which in the Christmas special, Bowser died from alcohol poisoning, but Bowser's passing in this episode was much different as he lived up to be 102 after giving up on alcohol.

## Trivia

* In the Goomburger scene with Roy & Wendy, one of Wendy's lines had to be recorded by FreezeFlame22, as Carmen (Wendy's voice actor) got the line wrong and was unavailable to re-record it correctly.
