## Synopsis

This is before the events of the first Super Mario Bros. King Bowser is in need of minions. But who are his lucky choices?

## Plot

A Koopa Troopa is walking along when he accidentally collides with a Pokey, who tells him to watch where he is going. After the Troopa apologizes, he realizes the line is not the one for McKoopa's and is told it is a line to audition to be minions of Bowser, with Pokey explaining that Bowser wants the best to represent his army against Mario. Clyde appears and notes the line is very long, asking the Koopa to get him a sandwich. The Koopa recognizes Clyde and asks why he is auditioning to be Bowser's minion, and Clyde explains it's because he wants a sandwich and hears Bowser makes great ones. A Piranha Plants asks if they mean "King Koopa" and they reply, "whatever!" Moments, later, Bowser rejects a large Bullet Bill, and a Paratroopa claims it is hard to become one of Bowser's minions.

In his office, Bowser tells Nabbit his services will not be required and rejects him. Then he meets with a Bob-omb, who tells him that he explodes, Bowser likes him, but tells him to come back in 5 years, and throws him out. Next is a Fuzzy ("garbage day!") who is also rejected, followed by a Cheep Cheep, who sings a parody of the SpongeBob SquarePants theme; Bowser then agrees to make him a minion if he stops singing, with the fish saying it was the role he was born to play. Pidgit appears next, but Bowser rejects him, so he leaves to work for Wart, whom he hears has better deals anyway. Then a Waddle Dee appears, but Bowser rejects him when he can't really do anything. Next is a turtle, who explodes, but Bowser tells him turtle's shells are for protecting themselves, not exploding, and sends him off. A Chain Chomp appears and Bowser tells him to contact him in 5 years for a spot. Then a Boo appears and Bowser tries to get a word out of him, but the ghost simply ignores him; finally, Bowser rages as a group of Boos fall on him, and he tells them to contact him in 5 years. Moments later, Fred FredBooger arrives and asks for nachos.

The next applicant is Spike, but Bowser rejects him due to not being intimidating and looking like a strawberry. Then a Buzzy Beetle appears and shows what he can do, and is impressed by his skills and hires him. Next up is a Hover Meanie, but Bowser doesn't like it's voice (and that it needs a fan to blow away people) and rejects it. Golden Duh is the next applicant, but is rejected for obvious reasons. Next is Monty Mole, and although Bowser is unimpressed with his skills, he tells him to contact him in 6 years. A regular Goomba is the next up, and Bowser comments on his appearance, saying he looks like a "deformed chestnut," and rejects it. Next is a blue cloud thing, which Bowser blows away after it hovers over him. Then it's a Spiky Cheep Cheep, who shows off his ability to sit on Bowser's face. This is followed by two Bullet Bills, and Bowser is impressed and hires them both (after hiring one, then the other when he shows up). Mecha-toy appears, but annoys Bowser by only repeating his name, so Bowser suggests he contact him in 6 years and he might be nice. Then a Blooper shows up, talking with every word starting with "B," then showing off his swimming and ink skills, spraying it at Bowser. But that impresses him, and he is hired.

A regular Goomba is the next applicant, and he demonstrates what he can do by returning with a Dry Bones to show how he can carry things "in my nonexistent limbs", adding that he has a "loveable personality & beautiful face," and he can run into people's feet with determination, which impressed Bowser enough to hire him. Next up is Spike, but he is unable to show off his spiked ball throwing, so Bowser says to get back to him in 6 years. Teddy the Big Boo then shows up, and although he can actually look at people, Bowser tells him to come back in 6 years, and he'll get to be a boss. Next up is Lakitu, who displays his ability to throw Spinys, and Bowser hires them both. The next applicant is a robot named Sparks, who wishes to be a hero despite having "strange thoughts and desires" and Bowser rejects him as a result. Next up are Wiggler, Paragoomba and Pooka, all of whom Bowser turns down.

Back with Trooper, he is happy the line is getting smaller, and Pokey tries to help him overcome his nervousness. Meanwhile, Bowser is meeting with Waluigi, who speaks in a posh voice and introduces himself with a variety of names, and explains his skills. However, Bowser tells him to get out of his face, and, in his normal, voice, he begs to let him stay, promising to let him do anything. Bowser then throws a banana peel and blue shell at him, blowing him up; seeing him flying away, Trooper & Pokey comment on how "some people are just clueless." A giant Goomba is on tap next, but Bowser notes he's the third guy with that same story he rejected and sends him away. Next up is a Chompy with large teeth, and Bowser suggests he'd be better in another video game. Bowser next meets a Shy Guy, but doesn't like him, saying he doesn't know what he is and "it's just..." This leads into a cue for Frank & George to appear, and Bowser likes them and offers them a job in 5 or 6 years, before rejecting the Shy Guy. Bowser then rejects a giant PacMan ghost? Klonoa, and a similar Red ghost. However, he is impressed by Dry Bones, and offers him a job in 5 years. Next, Titan appears, wearing sunglasses, leading to a musical interlude before Bowser attacks him. Next, Bowser rejects a happy blue guy, before Charging Chuck appears, tackling him, and Bowser offers him a job in 6 years. Bowser then rejects a Waddle Doo & R.O.B (who repeats a rap song). Moments later, Kamek informs him from offscreen that they will run out of minions if he doesn't hire any more. However, Bowser says he will not hire anymore, especially the next one to come in. As it turns out, this is Constance Hatchetway, and Bowser, taken with her beauty, immediately hires her, to Kamek's surprise. After taking her as his bride, she decapitates him, so Bowser asks them to put his head back to resume the minion tryouts.

After "many hours of stitching later" Bowser resumes the tryouts with a Hammer Brother, and hires him, then meets with a Boomerang Brother, offering to hire him in 5 years. Next is Piranha Plant, who plays his "Moskau" by Denghis Khan, and Bowser hires him if he agrees to quit singing. Then it's a Paratroopa up on tap, and he hires him. Clyde is next and asks for a sandwich, but Bowser won't give him one, and says he doesn't like him cause he's stupid, telling him to "go get a job in PacMan for all I care," so Clyde leaves to do so. Next is Pokey, who shows off his slow walking, and his not happy when Bowser tells him to try again in 5 years. Finally, it's Koopa's turn, though he is nervous, and it makes it hard for him to tell Bowser what he does. However, Bowser is impressed and hires him, and they celebrate together. Bowser then announced the minion tryouts are closed, and they don't need any more, causing Petey Piranha to yell "nooooooooo!" and upsetting a weird Boo.
