""As the Fanboy's say, Only Link can defeat Ganon"!" is the 14th episode of Season Five and the 74th and penultimate episode of Stupid Mario Brothers.

Description

Mario continues to train under Merlin and reflects back on the past in order to win the future.

Synopsis

In his room, Waluigi suddenly awakens again and bursts into song, singing and dancing to "December, 1963" by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons before passing out again.

Meanwhile, Mario is meditating, still undergoing his wizardry training in the Lost Woods, recalling what Professor Oak said about Link being the only one who can defeat Ganon. He then remembers seeing the resurrected Link for the last time before he left for Hyrule. Merlin is impressed by the amount of progress Mario is making. He is able to detect things from far distances and approximate the distance from which they are from him, saying he has no time to fail.

Brock and Gary return to the base, meeting with Luigi as Mario instructed them. They tell him that Mario found the Master Sword and has to learn how to "pull the sword". Brock tells Luigi that Link is trapped in the Dark Realm and asks him what they have missed. The plumber in green sends them to the western border to meet with Ness, who will fill them in, and to tell Ness to meet with him in thirty minutes. Brock and Gary then leave to do so.

Later, Zubashi and Gangles return from Taco Bell to meet with Nox Decious. Gangles feels sick, but Zubashi says they are good. Decious informs them it is finally time for war and tells them to ready their troops. The duo go to do so and Decious groans that it is going to be a long day.

Ryu and Ken are injured in the house and Luigi tells them there is no way that they can fight. Ryu apologizes to him, telling them that the top ninjas came out of nowhere when they attacked them. Ken realizes they will have to rely entirely on their pirates, even though Captain Morgan is still sound asleep. Ryu asks Luigi about Wario, who Luigi says they have received no word from and should assume he isn't coming back. Ryu and Ken offer to fight anyway, willing to die if they have to; but Luigi orders them to stay where they are, not wanting to lose anyone else.

The Darkness recalls his confrontation with Mr. L, remembering how Decious was so ambivalent towards his threats. Back at his base, the Darkness is met by the General, who informs him that the ninjas are on their way for the attack. The Darkness is glad that they can get this over with and the General asks for his orders. The Darkness pauses, then instructs the General to go home, issuing him an "honorable discharge". The General is confused at first, but the Darkness reminds him of his family and dismisses him. He obeys the Darkness' orders and heads off. The Darkness declares it time for war and Decious' death.

Later, Ness meets with Luigi, telling him that the ninjas are coming from the west as he had predicted. Luigi instructs Ness to tell the pirates to get in formation for battle. Ness asks about Captain Morgan, to which Luigi replies that they still have to wait for the expert that the Darkness sent for. Ness then leaves to prepare for battle.

Wario is bumming around in the city, when he spots a ninja hiding in an alleyway. Wario pursues the ninja when he runs from him and catches him. He informs Wario that he came to find him and tells him that two of the Mushroom Force's fighters are injured while two won't wake up and that Wario is too stupid to realize what is at stake. The ninja says that everyone Wario cares about will die as Ganon plans to merge the Real World with the Dark Realm. Wario is shocked by this and the ninja tells him of the terrors that there will be now that Wario has abandoned his friends. Wario promptly kills the ninja, telling him he will never abandon his best friends and heads off.
