Synopsis[]
Continuing from where the previous episode left off, Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi begin their battle. Mario faces off with Wario while Luigi fights with Waluigi.
After some time, Luigi eventually crawls to Mario, who helps him up. Mario faces Wario and Waluigi and slowly moves his hands together, harnessing energy to create a fireball. He launches it at Wario, causing him to fall to the ground. Waluigi walks over to him and stares down at him, telling him he is weak and says he will take care of them himself. Then he creates his own fireball, which he launches at Luigi, making him fall over. Mario creates a massive fireball and fires it at Waluigi, defeating him.

Goofs[]
- On the "Previously on Stupid Mario Brothers" screen, the word "previously" is misspelled as "presviously."
- The battle is edited haphazardly with no regard for continuity in many instances. As an example, Luigi isn't seen lying on the ground in the following two shots of Mario and Waluigi after he is incapacitated and then suddenly re-appears beside Mario in the next shot.
