## Plot

SMG4 wakes up one day and goes to check on the aquarium in his room. He however finds that it's filled with far more dead bodies than last time. This doesn't bother him that much though, as he exits his bedroom and goes to see X, who is standing about in the foyer. X reveals that Mario and FM has been in the bathroom for 7 hours and that he's started to take over the castle! SMG4 then confronts Mario over this, and Mario confirms it's true. What follows is SMG4 getting the help of various people within the castle to get Mario out. But none succeed (and one dies). Mario reveals that his next plan is to take over SMG4's room, which he does. SMG4 appears very distraught at this, and goes to X. X however, does not care.

SMG4 mentions to him that X's room was taken over as well, and X goes over to investigate, defeated upon realizing Mario's taken it over, he goes back to SMG4, and the two start up a plan to stop Mario. Meanwhile, Mario explains to FM that the news would be an excellent option to get more people on their side. FM presses a button, and an entire news crew falls down. Crimsonman5 appears from this crew, and goes over to the castle to interrogate SMG4, and X. After some banter, Mario appears to explain that he's taken over the foyer. SMG4 and X object to this, and try to enter in anyway. To their dismay, they're greeted by guards and forced to plan outside.

After they're sent outside, SMG4 rants to himself and says spaghetti is "shitty". This causes two missiles to shoot out from the castle and hit SMG4. SMG4 is immediately confused, but not for long as Mario appears on a giant screen chastising SMG4 for criticizing spaghetti. SMG4 and X decide enough is enough and finally set out to get help. They first go to the desert, SMG4 and X are initially confused on where to go, but spot a small town off in the distance. They walk up to it, and are greeted by none other than Princess Daisy. Turns out, this town is the remains of Sarasaland, and the only living resident besides Daisy is Omar, an arab who all day every day threatens to bomb Daisy. SMG4 and X present their case, but Daisy needs time to think. So they then go to SMG3's lair.

He agrees to help them on one condition: If SMG4 plays along with SMG3's "evil" routine. SMG4 initially declines but is pressed by both X and SMG3. SMG3 is satisfied by this, and agrees to help them. They travel back to the castle, upon arriving X is immediately targeted by Mario's missile defense system, he narrowly dodges the incoming missile. However, it makes contact with a plane in the air and causes it to crash into the lake adjacent to the castle. It is revealed during this scene, that Mario has just about taken over the whole castle. SMG4 is starting to get REALLY incensed now, as he goes over to SMG3's death ray and mishandles it, causing it to explode and create a hole in one of the castle walls. SMG3 then leaves, and hitches a ride on his Evil Cat.

SMG4 and X then travel to the Glowshire Kingdom, but find that the town is largely barren. They enter the castle atop the hill, and are greeted by the King and his advisor. The king is immediately hostile upon seeing them, referring to them as "shriggers". The king remains extremely hostile, and refuses to give SMG4 and X help. However, his advisor behind his back agrees to send the duo three troops to help them. SMG4 gives said troops directions, but all three fail in spectacular ways. This causes SMG4 to reach his breaking point, he mentions to X that they have to storm the castle, and X is willing to.. but only after eating McDonalds. After going back to the entrance of the castle, X mentions another predicament. **They don't have a place to eat.** This finally gets X and SMG4 to break into the castle, what follows is a brutal montage where they kill a bunch of Mario's guards, they then decide to sit on a couch in the middle of the foyer. Mario immediately notices this and very enraged, not that they've broken in to his new kingdom, but that they didn't get him a happy meal.

Tensions reach a breaking point when it's revealed X took Mario's toy. Mario immediately loses it, and demands to fight SMG4. After a long and very detailed fight scene, SMG4 wins the battle. Mario however does not give up, and jumps up on top of the castle, this isn't enough though, and he sends his "super rare" Brian Griffin after the two. It's revealed that the entire debacle happened off-screen, as SMG4 and X mention all the "awesome" attacks Mario landed on them. Suddenly however, the ground begins to quake violently, and a wall of spaghetti forms in front of the castle. At which point Mario drops down from the sky. SMG4 immediately confronts him over this, and it is revealed that Mario tore up the deed to the castle that Princess Peach owned before her passing.

Enraged at this, SMG4 (and reluctantly X) go back to Daisy, who finally agrees to go along. Shocked at the sight of what has happened to the castle, she reverses all of the spaghetti magic with one movement of her arm. Mario immediately becomes confused and demands to know who tore down his forcefield, at which point Daisy appears and says she did. Mario is understandably, very pissed off at this and yells at her. However after a moment, Mario tries to escape punishment by saying he learned a lesson. SMG4 however immediately calls his bluff, and sentences him to being grounded for two weeks. But it is then revealed SMG4 does not have the power to ground him, X does. X however does not give a shit, and leaves the scene. SMG4 then goes to Daisy and asks her if she'd like to be the new princess. She agrees, and the episode ends on a zoom out of the castle.

## References

* The plot of this episode is a riff on the trope "takes over (insert place)", where a character takes over a place and the whole episode is spent trying to get them out. This plot was most commonly used in **The Simpsons**.
* Daisy's line of dialogue "can it wait? we're cooking!", is a reference to the show **Breaking Bad**.
* The transition that states "Mario runs the castle now, it's a dictatorship. You'd understand that if you weren't such a retard." is a reference to old Windows Movie Maker videos from the late 2000s. Which commonly used copyrighted grunge/alternative rock songs over crude transitions.
* The King's mock Asian dialogue is a nearly word-for-word recreation of SMG4's mock asian speech from the *2012* blooper,  **Befriend the End**.
* "A FREE SEARS CARD!!", is a reference to a cutaway gag from Family Guy.
* The sped-up footage from Super Smash Bros. is a direct jab at "fight scenes", which commonly used Super Smash Bros. for long periods of time as a substitute for a greenscreen fight.
* "Hey can you pass the bbq sauce for my bbq bacon burger?", is a reference to a line from the video game **Left 4 Dead 2**.
