Previously, on The Mario Bros. Show.

SPEAKER_2 (0:03)

Clotus, you do not know for a fact that Mario is dead?

SPEAKER_3 (0:06)

He must be dead.

SPEAKER_1 (0:07)

Perhaps he was simply transported to another place.

SPEAKER_2 (0:11)

I suggest we go see the one person who knows the real history behind the Thousand-Year Door, Merlin. Where am I?

SPEAKER_4 (0:20)

This is the underwear.

SPEAKER_1 (0:22)

How do I get out of here?

SPEAKER_4 (0:23)

Perhaps Queen Jade's can help you.

SPEAKER_2 (0:25)

You're the one who opened my box. I think I remember.

SPEAKER_1 (0:28)

This is where you went after that?

SPEAKER_2 (0:30)

That's right.

SPEAKER_1 (0:31)

I think there are three others who are trapped in black boxes too.

SPEAKER_5 (0:35)

There is one way and only one way to escape. You must take on the pit of a hundred trials.

SPEAKER_3 (0:43)

One day, a hero emerged who could vanquish the demon. The young Toad and he was the first of the four heroes. There was a wise Goomba from Boggly Wolf's, gifted in knowledge of the world.

A Koopa went alone wherever evil dwelled and banished it with shell and sheer bravado. The crew used her powerful magic to learn more about the evil they faced. The four heroes thought they had sealed away the demon for good, but the demon used that tiny opening before the seal was complete to curse them all. That door is no ordinary door. It is an interdimensional portal.

Cammie!

SPEAKER_7 (1:21)

Lord Crump, you have the book. So many devious spells.

SPEAKER_8 (1:26)

Hmm?

SPEAKER_7 (1:27)

What's this? On this page, there's some scribbles addressed to...

SPEAKER_8 (1:32)

Bowser?

SPEAKER_1 (1:33)

How sappy!

SPEAKER_7 (1:34)

This was coming from a grandfather?

SPEAKER_1 (1:36)

That's Koopa's for ya.

SPEAKER_7 (1:38)

I've got to find the spell that will open the door.

SPEAKER_9 (1:41)

So the door can't be opened, right?

SPEAKER_3 (1:43)

Wrong tone. It can still be opened with the use of the Book of Black Magic. It is believed that the Book of Black Magic was made by a cult known as The Shadow Dwellers.

SPEAKER_2 (1:53)

Lord Bowser, I would like to know why you never destroyed the book.

SPEAKER_1 (1:57)

It was because of my grandpa, Boomer! He left me notes in the book.

SPEAKER_7 (2:01)

Bowser, don't blame yourself.

SPEAKER_1 (2:04)

But it's my fault. The book will have to be destroyed. Good news, sir. Kermit Koopa has found the spell that will open the door.

SPEAKER_10 (2:11)

Excellent.

SPEAKER_3 (2:12)

I will teleport to Rogueport immediately.

SPEAKER_1 (2:16)

Freedom? Hold it right there!

SPEAKER_3 (2:18)

You're too late.

SPEAKER_10 (2:20)

Kermit, quickly, say the spell.

SPEAKER_1 (2:23)

Don't even try it.

SPEAKER_11 (2:24)

Oh, Mario!

SPEAKER_3 (2:26)

Quick, while they're distracted.

SPEAKER_7 (2:28)

Right.

SPEAKER_11 (2:29)

Prodi.

SPEAKER_7 (2:30)

Malle Spiritus.

SPEAKER_5 (2:33)

At Lebera.

SPEAKER_8 (2:35)

I'm free!

SPEAKER_3 (2:37)

Shadow Queen, I'm Grotus of the X-Nauts.

SPEAKER_12 (2:41)

Lend me your power!

SPEAKER_3 (2:43)

I do not give my power to anyone.

SPEAKER_1 (2:47)

Sir Grotus! What do we do, Mario?

I don't know!

SPEAKER_6 (2:51)

I have waited one thousand years for this moment, and it's time for the part to begin.

SPEAKER_1 (3:09)

You're listening to a very special episode of The Mario Bros. Show, starring Mario and Luigi. Today's episode, The Thousand-Year Door, Part 3, with guest stars Peach, Toad, Bowser, Kamek, Koopa Troopa, Detective Pennington, and Bowser Jr. And with special guest stars Professor Frankly, Lord Kronk, The X-Knots, Ami Koopa, and The Shadow Queen. All characters owned by Nintendo. All voices by Paul Robinson, Teddy Armstrong, and Leanne Merseman.

SPEAKER_7 (3:57)

Shadow Queen, let us begin the purge by destroying these heroes.

SPEAKER_6 (4:03)

Sounds like a good idea.

SPEAKER_1 (4:05)

Oh no!

Should we fight Peach, Mario? No! I don't want to hurt Peach.

SPEAKER_8 (4:10)

Who is the hero of this world?

SPEAKER_7 (4:13)

That's him right there, with the bushy mustache. His name is Mario.

SPEAKER_1 (4:19)

There's nothing we can do.

We need to retreat. What? Run away!

SPEAKER_2 (4:24)

Lord Bowser, there is no way we can fight the Shadow Queen. We must do what Mario says. This is dreadful.

SPEAKER_9 (4:30)

Come on, let's get out of here.

SPEAKER_1 (4:32)

Fine.

SPEAKER_6 (4:33)

Some hero, he's running away.

SPEAKER_7 (4:36)

Quick, destroy them.

SPEAKER_6 (4:38)

No, not the men. They will all be destroyed in the purge.

SPEAKER_7 (4:43)

That is true, my queen.

SPEAKER_8 (4:46)

And you are?

SPEAKER_7 (4:47)

I am your humble servant, Canmy Koopa the Wizard.

SPEAKER_6 (4:51)

Good.

And now, rule this world, my Shadow Monsters. Conquer the cities, overthrow the kingdoms, bring terror and destruction.

SPEAKER_1 (5:04)

The Shadow Monsters emerge from the giant door and flood the chamber like a swarm of ravenous bugs. They burst out of the underground and begin to spread rapidly across the world.
