## Plot

The episode starts with Mario and Luigi helping Peach & Daisy feed the twin babies their banana baby food. Mario then tells them a story on how they were Super Babies. It all started when Mario, Luigi, and the Super Babies were at a banana festival, but the Koopa Brigade nabs all of the bananas, including the Super Babies' baby food and throws them very far away. The Super Babies got into their stroller, and they, along with Mario and Luigi, set off to get the bananas back. The problem is that they don’t know where to go to find the bananas, so they ask Molly for assistance. She says that the banana baby food is on top of a huge mountain of bananas. But before they can get there, they had to go across the bubble bath and climb up the building blocks. After memorizing the places, Mario, Luigi and the super babies get going. They couldn’t find the bubble bath, and all of a sudden the super babies use their super hearing to find it, there are three trees, behind the first tree is a frog croaking, the second tree is the sound of bubbles popping and the third tree has the sound of a squeaky toy. The viewer finds the bubble bath behind the second tree. So they got going. En route to the bubble bath, the road was blocked by a sleeping big blue baby bear. The Super Babies, along with Mario and Luigi, super cried and woke the baby bear up, causing it to move out of the way. When they got into the bubble bath, they use their super breath to blow an inflatable boat to ride across the tub. As they got going, they had to super pop the bubbles and to super paddle to evade a large rubber duck. Afterwards, they had to find the building blocks, but a giant rock is in the way. The Super Babies use their super x-ray vision to see inside the rock. Sure enough, they found the blocks. When they had gotten to the building blocks, the Super Babies rearranged them to make a staircase for the group. The first step has one block, the second has two blocks, the third has three, fourth has four, and fifth has five. Now, they have to find the bananas. The super babies use they super strength to lift the stroller high enough so they can get a better look. Sure enough, they see the bananas. Along the way, the see a giant hole in the middle of the road, so the babies decided to make the stroller fly. But all of a sudden, the Super Babies had gotten thirsty and slowed down, so they get a drink from the Baxter. They can’t drink from their rattles or their diapers, so they get two baby bottles out of the Baxter. After getting a drink, the Super Babies had gone even faster. They made it to the banana mountain. Nabbit was climbing up the bananas (even with him disguised as a walking banana), but the Mario, Luigi, and the Super Babies stop him from nabbing and eating the banana baby food. "Nabbit, no, no!", yelled the babies, and then Nabbit slipped and fell on the bananas and he slid down. Mario, Luigi, and the Super Babies then return the bananas to the festival.

## Trivia

* Mario & Luigi imagine that their twin babies are Super Babies.
* This is the 85th episode of the show.
* In some scenes of this episode, Charles Martinet's real voice can be heard.
* The designs of Mario change almost throughout this episode.
* This is the first episode of the Super Babies Trilogy. The other two episodes that follow this one would be "The Super Babies Dream Adventure" and "Happy Birthday, Super Babies!".
* Mario and Luigi don't sing the Travel Song in this episode, they instead sing Super Babies.
* As Mario and Luigi sing "We Made It!", they return back to where they came from after reaching the final place on the map. This is the 4th time they did that during the We made It! song (other three are A Present For Santa, Journey to the Purple Planet, and Star Mountain) and the 16th episode where they return to the start of their adventure. This also occurred in "Three Koopa Kids", "Big River", "Berry Hunt", "The Chocolate Tree", "Festa Della Mamma", "Click!", "A Present For Santa", "School Pet", "Save the Puppies!", "What Happens Next?", "Journey to the Purple Planet", "Mario's Pirate Adventure", "Luigi's' Cuddly Dinosaur", "Mario's Fairytale Adventure", and "Star Mountain".
* Molly's dancing is recycled from Ill Maestro de Musica. It will be used again in Save Red.
* When Budgie and Dorie started crying, Luigi started to cry as well.

## Goofs/Errors

* If one looks closely, Molly is inside Backpack instead in the side pocket when she was being called upon the first time.
* After going to the bubble bath, when Molly says "Where do we go next?" after Molly tells the viewers where to go, she looks like her early Season 1 self.
* Several times in the episode, the Super Babies' capes are missing.
* Despite not involving the "star catching" segment, the star pocket can still be seen on Baxter in a few shots. It will be that way until Baby Crab.
* When Baxter is seen, she is seen backwards.
