## Plot

Larry mysteriously finds a purple pipe in the castle and introduces it to Wendy, Roy and Ludwig. Ludwig is unimpressed and leaves the scene. Wendy and Roy leave as a precaution to report the pipe to Bowser, leaving Larry alone to check the pipe for himself until he accidentally gets sucked into the pipe, which takes him to the same place he was from. This disappoints Larry until he finds that the pipe is now green to which he believes he has found a multi-coloured pipe and proceeds to cheer. He then meets Wendy and Roy albeit they look different, shocking Larry. He then passes and meets a version of himself, to which they both scream.

Wendy and Roy meet Bowser regarding the purple warp pipe, to which Bowser states is rare and gets Iggy to look at it. Meanwhile, Larry is taken by the other versions of Wendy, Roy and himself, who then proceed to introduce him to another version of Bowser. The Bowser then asks Larry on how he got there, to which Larry explains that he found a purple pipe and went down there but the other Roy points out that the pipe was green so Larry mentions that it must have changed color. The Bowser then gets another version of Iggy to check it out, angering the other version of Larry to the point of threatening the main Larry.

Iggy checks the purple pipe, believing to lead to somewhere strange, reasoning why it magically appeared out of nowhere. Bowser Jr prompts Iggy to see the other side, with Bowser prompting him too. While Iggy further checks the pipe, Ludwig, Junior, Lemmy and Morton mutter to each other until Iggy proclaims that he sees something only to get fall into the pipe. Meanwhile, the other Iggy examines the green pipe and claims that it's just a regular pipe albeit green only for the main Iggy to fall out of the pipe, hitting the other Iggy.

Bowser worries for Iggy, hoping that he isn't dead as they'll have no one to take care of the science, so Wendy suggests to go into the pipe and Bowser agrees, going into the pipe first. So everyone else goes except for Bowser Jr., who then proceeds to push Roy into the pipe as he hesitates. Iggy finds a version of himself and they both scream. The others find the main Bowser falling out the pipe and is followed by the rest of the Koopalings except for Roy who is stuck in the pipe.

Everyone proceeds to gather to meet their duplicate selves. Bowser has a rough start, meeting with his counterpart, raging over him and accusing him for coming into his castle and ripping off his style. Iggy then concludes that the pipe brought them to a parallel universe, to which his counterpart claims that he was about to come to the same conclusion resulting in Iggy arguing with his parallel self. Roy compliments Parallel Roy to which he asks why he is fat. Parallel Wendy softly introduces herself to her parallel self, to which she asks how many followers she has on Instagoomba only for P-Wendy to mention that she doesn't care about social media, preferring to devote her time helping around the castle. She then gives the main Wendy a coin, pleasing her. Ludwig is surprised that a pipe of a rare color lead to another universe and meets his parallel self, horrified of his Northern accent while P-Ludwig questions his posh voice and existence in the castle. Bowser continues to conflict with his parallel self but is offered to have lunch with the parallel counterparts, and politely accepts.

The Koopa Families are at the dinner table having lunch. Main Bowser asks for the recipe but Wendy points out that they had the lunch for dinner last night to which Bowser claims to not remember everything he feeds the Koopalings. P-Wendy mentions that their dad remembers so, with P-Lemmy adding that he has a timetable with all their meals on it. Main Lemmy mentions that their dad has a timetable for all the times he leaves the castle for drinking, concerning P-Bowser who assumes that Main Bowser leaves his kids unsupervised. Main Bowser then mentions that a wizard keeps an eye on them. P-Morton views on Main Morton while P-Lemmy guesses that Main Lemmy is supposed to be the "funny" one in his family. P-Larry demands to go but P-Bowser insists that he eats his vegetables or else he won't be big and strong, to which Main Roy mentions that their Larry eats vegetables but is still a weakling. Main Larry asks about a Bowser Jr. in the parallel universe, to which P-Bowser mentions there is, describing him as a kind, considerate and helpful young man. P-Bowser Jr. appears, having came back from Sunday School, much to P-Bowser's joy but P-Larry's resentment. P-Bowser tells him to not be rude about his brother and Main Bowser tells him to stop being a moody dick, shocking the Parallel Koopa Family as P-Bowser doesn't tolerate swearing.

The Koopalings hang out with their main counterparts, starting with the Larrys who are off to a rough start until Main Larry offers P-Larry to play on his DS after sympathising for him for being unable to play videogames and being stuck going to church. Main Wendy attempts to get along with P-Wendy by speaking about their hobbies and introduces her to Fire Flowers after she mentioned that she likes to plant flowers, much to her worry. The Ludwigs immediately get along after finding out about each other's hate for their Bowser Jrs. and plan on kidnapping them. The Roys don't get along very well as P-Roy ghosts Main Roy to hang out with the parallel Lucy and Courtney, leaving Main Roy alone and meeting a parallel Titch. The Iggys conflict with their theories on parallel universes, with Main Iggy theorising that there could be infinite amounts of parallel universes while P-Iggy believes there can only be two universes linked by the pipe. The Lemmys and the Mortons attempt to get along but fail to after their views on videogames conflict with P-Lemmy and P-Morton believing they are for little kids. Meanwhile P-Bowser Jr. gets abducted.

The Bowsers come to an agreement to leave the pipe alone for the moment in front of the Koopalings. Main Bowser asks to get back to their own castle but P-Bowser says that they need to find the Wendys first and they come back, only with P-Wendy to appear high, shocking P-Bowser but impressing Main Bowser. This angers P-Bowser, who then scolds Main Bowser for bringing drugs to his castle. P-Larry then brags to his father that Main Larry let him play videogames, angering P-Bowser further, who then proceeds to call Main Bowser a terrible father. Main Bowser then responds back by calling him an overprotective control freak who can't raise kids for squat. P-Bowser then threatens Main Bowser to leave his castle but is interrupted by the parallel King Boo and Kamek to inform him that the Ludwigs kidnapped P-Bowser Jr. to another castle.

The Ludwigs bicker over the throne and Main Bowser Jr. demands them to let him and P-Bowser Jr. out but they tell them to shut up. Main Junior then mentions that their father is going to come back and beat Ludwig.

Meanwhile, the parallel Koopalings praise the main Koopalings for their father giving them freedom but Iggy says their dad isn't that bad only for P-Larry to tell them to be glad their dad lets them play videogames. The Koopalings find the throneroom to be empty, indicating the Ludwigs have fled.

Main Iggy finds several purple pipes popping up in the castle and cheer over his theory being correct. Each Koopaling pair take a pipe: the Wendys visit the Disco Universe and get sidetracked, the Larrys visit the Cave Universe and are nearly cannibalised, the Roys visit the Snob Universe, the Lemmys visit the Sand Universe, the Iggys visit the Giant Universe and Main Morton calls for P-Morton but the latter is stuck after becoming frozen in the Ice Universe. The Larrys then enter the 8-Bit Universe, followed by the Wendys and the Roys. They encounter the Ludwigs who try showing off their supremacy. P-Roy attempts to attack the Ludwigs but is hit with fire breath, causing Main Roy to grieve him. The Ludwigs attempt to betray each other and get sidetracked, falling to lava after P-Larry cuts the bridge. The Larrys and Wendys rescue the Juniors, with P-Junior thanking them but Main Junior calling them brainless idiots, to which P-Larry threatens to throw him in lava. P-Wendy points out that they need to find their way back.

## Trivia

* The designs for parallel Wendy, Roy, Morton and Ludwig are seemingly inspired by the character's sprites in the game *Super Mario World*, where the four were red, blue, green and orange respectively due to colour limitations.
	+ Additionally parallel Larry also has green eyes, which could be a reference to his green sprite from the same game.
