## Synopsis

While navigating the Amazon river, conflicts emerge on both teams leading to collateral damage and disaster after disaster.

## Plot

The episode opens up with a rat running across the dock. Carl is seen walking past a door to the cafeteria. Inside, Peach makes a cupcake for herself, as well as two sugary figures of herself and Dimentio, before knocking down the latter. Bowser walks up to her and says that he still doesn't know why Peach wanted Dimentio gone. BJ pops out of a pile of baked goods and says that he thought the clown was cool, before adding that he wants him to come back. Peach is furious at BJ for saying this, and tells the two that Dimentio was clearly evil. Bowser comments that he thought Peach loved evil since she loves him.

Outside, fireworks are launched in the air. Goombella is reading a book, Steve is relaxing on a chair, Daisy is eating, Iggy and Lemmy are talking, and Roy is spying on the two from behind the candy cannon. Bobei and Madame Flurrie walk across the dock, while Steve is scared by Daisy. Roy laughs at Lemmy and Iggy, when the former suddenly pulls out Roy's rabbit and starts dingling her cage over the railing.

Dry Bones is sitting on the Plank of Shame, when suddenly Flurrie flies up to him. She tries to engage him in small talk, even trying to hand him a candy apple, but he rebuffs her and walks off.

Wario is seen walking around the ship. He opens the door to an unknown room where he finds the perfume that Dimentio gave him in the previous episode. Wario says that now that Dimentio has been eliminated he'll save it for a rainy day and snatches it.

Outside, Goombella is talking to Steve, trying to tell him where the ship is heading next, but he interrupts her by saying that nobody on the ship cares about geology. Goombella corrects him and says that she's talking about geography. Lemmy shows up and tells Goombella to lighten up, telling her that they're not in school but heading towards an exotic location. Goombella tries to correct him, but she is interrupted by Toad, who tells the cast that they have arrived to their next location: the Amazon.

The contetants gather up next to the Amazon river and Toad tells them that the first person to tell him a fun fact about the jungle will get a cookie. Dry Bones is quick to act and he says that there are a lot of trees. Toad brushes this aside and tells the sailors that for this challenge they'll have to navigate the Amazon river. Each team gets a canoe, and the first team to reach the finish line wins. There are signs set up along the way, and if the team decides to choose the wrong path, they'll encounter a brutal surprise. Peach guesses that it is either crocodiles or mutant monkeys. Toad tells her that the mutant monkeys were rendered unethical, so the crew settled on robot monkeys. Mona is excited about this and tells Wario that this is just like Steel Primates 2: Rilla Returns. Hearing this, Toad questions how movies like that get sequels.

The two teams set off on their canoes. Bowser uses his fire breath to speed up his team's canoe, but they accidentaly crash into the Banshees. Flurrie yells for him to be careful. Mona makes another movie reference, causing Bowser to tell her to stop making them. Wario defends her, saying that Bowser is a wuss. He tells Mona that one time he invited him ovet to watch Bloody Blooper 3 and he cried like a baby. Bowser is enraged as Wario promised to keep that a secret. Bowser starts sinking the ship due to his weight, causing BJ to scream for him. Peach scolds Bowser and orders the rest of her team to come to the front of the canoe. BJ calls her momma Peach, causing her to yell out that she's not his mother, only to get hit by a branch in the middle of her sentence. Carl points at a sign, something which is noticed by Daisy. Steve reminds her that Carl's not on their team, saddening her. Lemmy tells the rest of his team that there's a compass at the front of their canoe. Dry Bones says that he thought compasses only pointed towards the north, with Lemmy simply saying that they'll just roll with the flow. Roy in the meantime struggles to resist himself from attacking Iggy.

Back at the Rogers, Goombella warns her teammates that the Banshees have a significant lead on them. Carl points at another sign, but it disappears moments later. Peach decides to become the team's leader, something with which Mona agrees, but Wario is more skeptical. Peach ignores him and spots a sign. She orders Bowser to use his fire breath in order to get them moving faster. As a result, the two teams sail in different paths.

The Banshees encounter several crocodiles. Iggy looks at them in amazement, but Lemmy tells him that he cannot have one as a pet, saddening him. Dry Bones comments that they are surprisingly calm for beasts with such sharp teeth, with Steve reminding him that half of their team has sharp teeth. Dry Bones however says that neither Roy nor Steve are docile. Iggy is suddenly bitten by a crocodile.

The Rogers in the meantime, find themselves in a messier part of the jungle, causing them to start worrying. They also start doubting in Peach's leadership as she was the one directing them. Peach comments that Toad probably swapped the signs in order to cause more drama. Bowser agrees with her. Carl meanwhile stares in the distance. BJ and Peach both spot two different signs. Peach tells her team to look lively, and afterwards Bowser uses his fire breath to speed up the boat.

Back at the Banshees, Iggy is hugging the alligator that bit him. Lemmy orders him to put the alligator back in the water, despite Iggy's objections that he already named him. He pleads Lemmy not to throw Franklin overboard, causing his older brother to push him. Iggy drops Franklin, who hits Flurrie and the side of the canoe, causing it to start tipping. Roy can no longer keep himself together and punches Iggy with such force that he makes a hole in the canoe. He throws the alligator away, but the canoe sinks. Steve scolds the bully and Dry Bones asks his teammates if they think they're speeding up. They notice that they're approaching rapids.

The Rogers get lost in the jungle and hit a marsh. Peach tries to explain to BJ what a marsh is, but Goombella beats her to it. The princess orders Bowser to pick up the canoe and tells everyone that they are gonna trek through the jungle until they find a better section of the Amazon. Mona sarcasticaly compliments Peach. The princess starts losing her temper, telling her team that she knows how to make good choices. Bowser agrees and winks at her, causing Peach to snap. She yells that Bowser is not one of them. The team is shocked by this while Bowser is heart broken.

The Banshees are geeting closer and closer to the rapids. Steve tells Dry Bones to figure something out, but the skeletal turtle is dragged underwater by an alligator. Daisy is also pulled underwater, causing Iggy to ask Lemmy what's happening. Lemmy tells the team not to panic, but he changes his mind after Flurrie, Steve, and Roy all disappear.

The Rogers are running through the jungle, with Peach telling them to run faster as the Banshees could've already reached the finish line. Mona tells her that if this is the case their running is pointless, but Peach rebuffs her. The team is confronted by several robotic monkeys, scaring everyone other than Mona who is fascinated by them. Goombella starts explaining what a metalic marsh is after one of the robots mentions the term. The robots ask if she's always doing this, something which Peach confirms. Another robot shows up and attempts to kill the Rogers. Carl walks up in front of the team and starts yelling at them. Peach guesses that he wants them to hide in the bushes. As they do so, Carl confronts the giant robot by himself.

Iggy and Lemmy are the only Banshees left, when suddenly, Madame Flurrie rises out of the water with the alligator. She starts punching him, causing the animal to spit out all of the Banshees that he devoured. Iggy tries to stop her, telling her that the beast is just misunderstood. Iggy calms the alligator down and suddenly gets an idea. Collecting a number of vines, he ties them up around Franklin, turning him into the team's new living canoe. As the Banshees start climbing on Franklin, Lemmy calls out for Daisy to join them. She says that she thought they were having a pool party. Iggy warns her that she's going to die if she gets trapped in the rapids, but she misunderstand him, annoying Steve. Lemmy blackmails Roy to go save Daisy by threatening to drown his rabbit again, causing Roy to snap. He jumps in the water and throws Daisy head first into the rapids, much to his team's horror. Steve complains that they are for sure gonna lose the challenge with Daisy gone. They then reach the rapids themselves.

Back at the Rogers, Carl is still trying to find the robots, although they simply laugh at him. Peach tells her team to make a run for it. Carl spots a sign, but when he blinks it changes directions.

Carl tries to warn his team, but Peach angrily tells him that they are heading the right way. She then tells him to stop mumbling and start speaking if he's trying to tell them anything. Bowser sighs in annoyance.

At the finish line, Toad asks Bobei how much the monkey robots costed. However, he receives no response, and comes to the conclusion that Bobei is dead again. He then complains that the respawn signal is very weak. The Banshees suddenly come to the finish line, with them crashing into the shore. The team believes that they won and they start celebrating, commenting that they're happily accept more goods such as food and fresh showers. Toad however interupts them, saying that they haven't followed instructions clearly for the second time, as all of their team members were supposed to reach the finish line. Daisy is still missing. Lemmy says that in the best case scenario Daisy will be pulled from the game, but the Banshees will still win and get the reward. Toad however corrects them, saying that there is no reward for winning the challenge. The Rogers then run out of the bushes, with Peach being furious over the fact that the Banshees beat them to the finish line. Wario passes out. Flurrie reveals to the Rogers that this challenge has no reward, much to their shock. Peach demands Toad to give them an explanation, but instead Goombella defines the meaning of the word reward. Peach angrily interrupts her, saying that she knows what a reward is. Toad tells the Rogers that the Banshees haven't won yet since Daisy is still missing. The Rogers believe that they won, but the host informs them that they're missing Carl. Upon the mention of Carl, Daisy jumps from the water. Dry Bones asks her how did she survive the rapids, but she does not answer. Toad declares the Banshees the winners. Daisy asks the Rogers where Carl is, after whick he comes flying from the jungle. The robots surround the cast and start shooting at them. Toad orders them to retreat to the cruise ship. He is then hit by a missile.

As night falls, the Jolly Rogers attend the elimination ceremony.

Toad hands the out the Cheep Cheeps to Wario, Bowser, Mona, Goombella, and BJ. BJ is excited about still being in the game. He attempts to call Peach his mama again, but this causes her to snap at him and yell out that she is not his mother. Bowser stands up and growls at Peach that she is pushing the line. He tells her that voting her off might not have been as bad as he thought. This surprises both BJ and Peach. Toad throws the final fish to Carl, eliminating Peach much to her anger. Peach snaps at both Toad and Bowser, before she walks over to the Plank of Shame. Carl celebrates being safe. Peach yells at Carl that nobody understands what he is saying. She is then hit in the head by a Cheep Cheep presumably thrown by Carl, causing her to fall in the ocean. BJ asks Bowser if he really voted for Peach. Toad then signs off the episode.
