What Does A Parody Rock Band Do When They Can No Longer Parody?
Synopsis
Donkey Kong arrives on Yoshi to inform Mario (who finds DK riding Yoshi weird) that he is getting sued by Universal Music Group (UMG) for their JMK's previous songs since they are parodies. DK eventually reveals that they have 1 week to make an original song or else UMG will take all their money.
The group begin to complain about the events with Wario being let back in the band by Luigi (though Wario claims Mario did). The group then wonder (after telling Luigi about the lawsuit) of how they're going to make an original song. Wario then claims he knows someone who can write an original song who is Waluigi. This visibly annoys Mario and Luigi since they didn't know Waluigi was back.
Waluigi suggests more classic music like a romantic ballad and is happy to write music for them wanting show how good he is. But Mario thinks his idea sucks as they argue Waluigi reveals he studied music in Australia for six months making him something of an expert.
Mario then continues to go against the song claiming they must do punk rock since they are that type of band and Waluigi reluctantly complies but will want revenge on Mario if he gets typecast as a rock writer. Luigi also gets annoyed at Mario who hasn't cleaned their house apparently not even packing away their Christmas tree.
The band then rehearses but they all play except Waluigi receive criticism from Ness who is in charge of the recording. Mario gets annoyed at him for not turning his "mike" up since he needs to sing higher. But his voice is tired because he was screaming at noobs when playing Halo.
Mario is then put in charge of directing the band's music video but he visibly annoys Wario who is tired of having to do his part over and over again. The video is eventually done and they upload it on Youtube where it receives over 1 million views. After a week it receives 20 million views and the band begins to argue eventually breaking up. Mario and Luigi become saddened by this but they proceed to watch their video again.
