## Synopsis

Mario, Luigi and Yoshi are invited to Princess Peach's castle for a party. Meanwhile Wario and Waluigi attempt to break into the castle to make off with its treasure, albeit with little success. However they're taken under Bowser's wing to partake in his latest scheme...

## Plot

The episode opens with an exposition detailing a lone planet, located in the darkest regions of space. On this planet were a race of aliens, who spent their time searching for a new planet to call home. They finally fixed their sights on a distant planet, one described as being a world of beauty and peace.
The scene cuts to Wario and Waluigi, who are searching for a warp-pipe that leads to Princess Peach's treasure chamber in a forest. Their search has little luck, much to Waluigi's frustration. Wario remains undeterred and insists that the next pipe will be the one. However before they can make another attempt, Bowser Jr. approaches them and insults their lack of intelligence. This angers Waluigi, but Wario quickly shuts him up by bashing him with his shoulder. Wario deduces that Bowser must have a plan to kidnap Princess Peach and steal her treasure. Bowser Jr. confirms his suspicions and details his father's plan, which involved him stealing all of the treasure from Princess Peach's treasure chamber and then kidnap Princess Peach. Wario, failing to see that this is more of a checklist than a plan praises Bowser's plan and agrees to assist Bowser Jr. Much to Waluigi's chagrin.

Meanwhile Mario's being a stupid fat slob sleeping in well past noon while **Luigi** is left to do the housework like a responsible adult. As he does the laundry, the mail koopa Parakarry delivers a letter from Princess Peach, inviting the brothers to her castle for a party at the very last minute. **Y**oshi drops by soon after they receive their invitation and reveals that he received one as well. The trio then make their way to the castle.

Back with **Bowser Jr.** and the **Wario** Bros, the three lie in wait.

## Major Events

* The Wario Bros. join forces with Bowser.
* Princess Peach shows Mario the Warp Star and tells him about the Star Spirits and the Star Gods.
* Princess Peach is captured by Bowser.

## Trivia

* The opening of the episode is a shot for shot remake of the opening cut-scene from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. The game the series' plot is loosely based upon. The dialogue is also identical, with the exception of the typo: "creppy."
* The short battle between Yoshi and Bowser contains a homage, or plagiarized episode 3 of the popular sprite animated series, Super Mario Bros. Z. The scene in question has Bowser mimic Mecha Sonic grabbing hold of Yoshi's tongue and repeatedly punching him by pulling him back towards him with his tongue.
