## Synopsis

Tensions continue to escalate as the teams complete an overnight “camping” challenge.

## Plot

The episode opens up with Toad introducing Bobei and Jimmy to the new interns, with him reminding them that they're still not getting paid. At the Sprites' cabin Mario has a conversation with Yoshi and Bowser, with him still being mad over the fact that Peach voted for him since they were supposed to vote off Mimi. Yoshi tells him that Mimi told them that he switched his vote to Birdo something which he is glad about. Mario then trashes the cabin and throws both of them outside, with them agreeing to vote him off next.

At the girls' cabin, Boo and Mimi are wondering what the racket was about while an angered Peach walks past them. Mimi suggests to Boo to vote off Peach next since she believes that sooner or later Bowser's gonna kidnap her and cost them a game, and that she'd rather vote her off since Bowser's stronger. At the Koopas' cabin Starlow tells her team that since they won a challenge they might as well try to win another one, though Wario disagrees since winning is hard. Carl says something and Daisy appears to understand him, though she reveals that she's just pretending that she does. Later on Toad gathers the campers at the meshall where he tells them that for the next challenge they're gonna have to spend a night in the woods and the first team that'll return to the camp on the next day would win invincibility and breakfast, ignoring their complaints that they don't want to it today's breakfast tomorrow.

Later in the woods Daisy keeps falsely translating Carl while Toadette tells her team that the should find shelter first and then look for food. Kamek asks where Bowser is, to which Starlow replies that he's not on their team. Kamek then expresses his concerns that Bowser would get mauled by a bear. The Sprites in the meantime lose Bowser with only Peach being worried where he is, as Mario is too upset with her and Mimi fakes being upset too.

The Sprites (particulary Mimi and Mario) order Peach to go away. Mimi then transforms into a house and lets everyone but Peach inside, causing her to run in the woods crying. A once again build up Bowser then shows up and wonders where everyone is. Meanwhile the Koopas get into an argument, as Toadette wants to sleep closer to the camp so they can win the challenge, while Starlow wants to go deeper into the woods. A spider then shows up and starts chasing the team. Later on Starlow, Kamek, Daisy, Carl and Luigi stop deeper in the woods, with Luigi and Kamek wondering where everyone else is. Starlow tells them that they were probably chased farther. Wario, Toadette and Petey stop near a tree where Petey passes out. Toadette tells Wario to leave due to his constant farting, causing him to say that he'll leave when he wants to. He however quickly agrees with her when she starts glaring at him.

Back at the Sprites, Yoshi, Boo and Mario compliment Mimi's interrior design with her telling them to vote off Peach if they lose, albeit Boo is reluctant to do so. Bowser in the meantime is still wondering where Peach is as his muscles will soon disappear. The Koopas meanwhile find a place where they can sleep, though Starlow tells the others that she plans to throw the challenge so they can vote off Toadette. Kamek is reluctant about this since they're supposed to be the team with numbers, although he admits that it'd be fun seeing her get shout out of a canon. On the contrary, both Carl and Daisy agree with her. While Starlow leaves Kamek tries to create some food with his wand but he, Carl and Luigi are scared away by a bear. Daisy gets into a fight with the bear but loses and retreats. Meanwhile Toadette and Wario who have left Petey a short distance behind keep moving, although Wario stops due to being tired. Wario then falls asleep and farts much to Toadette's dismay.

In the meantime Starlow finds Peach crying in the woods. Peach explains to her what Mimi did and Starlow tells her that she'll be safe during this day since she's planning to throw the challenge to vote off Toadette. She then tells her that she'll keep on throwing the challenges if she wants her to. Peach tells her not to do so, though Starlow still decides to throw this challenge just to be safe. She also gives her a golden mushroom that she found in the woods and tells her that it might come in handy later on. The two then hear Kamek so they go their seperate ways, but not before Starlow tells Peach that Yoshi, Bowser, Mario and Boo were her friends and not Mimi's. Unknowingly to them Mimi overheard their conversation. Peach manages to return back to Mimi who is still transformed into a house. Mimi tells her that all of the Sprites (minus Bowser) are sleeping and eating inside of her and that the only thing that they have to do in return is to vote Peach off. She also tells her that she plans to keep them in there until morning so they lose the challenge so she can be eliminated and that after her elimination she plans to get rid of Mario, Boo and Bowser, planning to keep Yoshi for last as he is her strongest ally due to her being the one that voted Birdo off. Mimi then makes fun of her by saying that she doesn't have anyone upon which Peach eats the golden mushroom and grows giant. She picks up Mimi and throws her, Mario, Yoshi and Boo to the camp where Jimmy and Toad are having a conversation about soap operas. Petey, Toadette and Wario also arrive and belive that they lost, but Toad reminds them that one Sprite is still missing. Peach goes searching for Bowser while the rest of the Koopas (minust Starlow) show up believing that they won, though Toad reminds them that they didn't. Peach then shows up with Bowser and wins immunity for her team. Later at the camp Bowser thankses Peach for saving him. She tells him that they can be friends in the game and that she prefers the real him over the muscular him.

At the elimination ceremony Toad says that he's disappointent to see the Koopas back there, although he quickly says that he actually doesn't care. Toadette and Starlow then get into a fight due to Starlow costing them the challenge.

Toad hands out the mushrooms to Petey, Kamek, Luigi, Carl, Daisy and Wario, with him once again saying that he needs to get Luigi off of his roster since he still doesn't know who he is. Just as he is about to eliminate Starlow or Toadette, Wario yells for him to wait and says that he can't do it anymore, saying that he's been away from his brother for too long and that he's quitting. Toad asks him if he's sure about that, which he reassures before he walks to the cannon of losers. Starlow tells Toadette that may the best chick win. As Wario is shot off the island offscreen, Toad signs off the episode.
