The Wizard Battle

**The Wizard Battle** is the third episode in *Adventures of the Mushroom Kingdom* series.[1]

## Summary

Mario and Luigi get caught in the middle of an ancient wizard battle. Both wizards have magic wands. One good, while the other is evil. Meanwhile, Baby Bowser goes to the present and tries to steal the evil magic wand.

## Plot

A narrator explains the finding of two mysterious red crystals and the making of two magic wands. A good wizard and an evil wizard use the two wands (one good and one evil) to fight each other, until the good wizard banishes the evil wizard to another dimension at the cost that he, too, will be banished from the world.

It is revealed that Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach are watching a documentary about this. The narrator, Emperor Percy Penguin, says that this story is a myth. Luigi finds the good magic wand in Peach's freezer! Mario and Luigi test it out to see if it truly is magical. It is, so they call Percy to look at it. He decides to test it by seeing if he could free the good wizard. The good wizard is freed, causing Percy to run away in fright. The good wizard, Kodlay, realizes that anyone who is in another dimension can escape from it, including the bad wizard.

Meanwhile, Bowser, Bowser Junior, and Wario find the evil wand in their closet. Bowser then remembers finding it when he was a child. In the past, Baby Bowser (Bowser as a child) learns about the two magic wands being real, so he travels to the present. He steals the evil wand and turns Bowser to stone. Baby Bowser then encounters Donkey Kong at the park, who thinks that Baby Bowser is Bowser Junior. Suddenly, the evil wizard, Theoxys, appears, having escaped from his dimension. He and Baby Bowser join forces when Theoxys takes back his wand from Baby Bowser. They also force Donkey Kong to work for them.

The three of them find Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Kodlay. Theoxys and Kodlay duel while Mario, Luigi, and Peach wonder why Donkey Kong is working with the enemy. The four heroes escape on a taxi. On the taxi, Kodlay says that Donkey Kong is probably being forced to work for Theoxys and also explains that they are heading to Wayside Town to meet his old friend, Danielle, who can help them fight Theoxys and save Donkey Kong. When they reach Wayside Town, the four go to Danielle's laboratory where they meet him and his assistant, Sammy the Sloth. Danielle gives the four a potion that can free someone from mind control (as the group thinks that Donkey Kong is being mind-controlled by Thoexys). Kodlay puts the potion in a cologne bottle.

When they return to Peach's castle, Theoxys, Baby Bowser, and Donkey Kong are waiting for them. Kodlay sprays the potion on Donkey Kong, but nothing happens. He tells them that he was never under Theoxys's control and that they got the potion for nothing. Mario decides to keep the potion just in case. While Donkey Kong runs away, the heroes fight Theoxys. Baby Bowser then steals both magic wands. Mario and Luigi chase him while Kodlay and Peach hold off Theoxys. Baby Bowser escapes them and returns to his time. However, he is spotted by Wario, who is confused. Mario and Luigi encounter Wario, who tells them that Baby Bowser traveled back in time. The brothers return and rescue Peach and Kodlay, who were defeated by Theoxys. They escape him and hide in Peach's bedroom. Peach tells them about her car, that if it goes really fast, they can go back in time. The heroes go to Peach's car and go back in time.

When the four arrive back in time, Baby Bowser appears and kidnaps Kodlay and Peach. He also takes the good wand. Mario and Luigi race to find him. At Baby Bowser's lair, he reveals that Kamek told him about the magic wands and that he will use the two wands to rule the entire world. He also uses the two wands' combined power to turn Kodlay evil. Kodlay guards Peach while Baby Bowser leaves. Elsewhere, Mario and Luigi run into Biggie, a fat troll, who followed the four back in time. He joins the brothers on their mission. The three storm Baby Bowser's castle and use the potion Danielle gave them to turn Kodlay back to normal. Mario and Luigi free Peach, who meets Biggie. Suddenly, Baby Bowser returns and threatens to kill them with the magic wands. However, Kodlay retakes the good magic wand and blasts Baby Bowser away. He then takes the evil wand. The five heroes return to Peach's car and travel back to the future.

When they return to the future, Theoxys attacks them and takes back the evil wand. Kodlay and Theoxys duel until Biggie intervenes. Theoxys angrily attacks Biggie and seemingly kills him, much to the heroes' despair. The four then angrily attack Theoxys, until only Peach and the evil wizard are left standing. Peach grabs the good wand but does not know what to do with it. Luigi tells Peach to say something from *Harry Potter*, so she quickly yells "Avada Kedavra" apparently killing Theoxys. Peach retrieves the evil wand, which causes Bowser to be free from stone. Kodlay and the brothers congratulate Peach but then remember Biggie. They cry over his body, but Biggie gets up, revealing that his many layers of fat protected him from the killing magic. Just as it seems all is well, Bowser quickly appears and kidnaps Peach.

Kodlay, Mario, Luigi, and Biggie prepare to face him. Donkey Kong arrives, saying that he wants to help. The four infiltrate Bowser's Castle, and Kodlay quickly defeats Bowser, Bowser Junior, and Wario with the magic wands. The three villains then run away. Later, Kodlay and the other heroes throw away the two red crystals (by putting them in a trash can). Then, Kodlay takes the two wands and says his goodbyes to the heroes, who all say goodbye. Peach tells Mario, Luigi, Biggie, and Donkey Kong that it is a happy ending.
