History Recap / SuperMarioBrosZ

** Basilisx uses his petrifying gaze to turn Sonic, Luigi, and Yoshi to stone statues, leaving him and Mario alone together. He then introduces himself to Mario, claiming that he wants to avenge a fallen friend of his whom Mario apparently disposed of many years ago. Mario equips a Hammer Suit and Basilisx grows {{Wolverine}}-like claws, and the two have a fierce battle. However, Basilisx threatens Mario's petrified friends and manages to slip Mario a Poison Mushroom, defeating him and holding his claws to his neck. Bowser is impressed by Basilisx's strength, which was given to him courtesy of Dr. Eggman.

** Mario and Luigi bring Sonic and Shadow to Peach's Castle, where they discuss finding the Chaos Emeralds. At the same time, the recovering Bowser is approached by Dr. Eggman about finding the Chaos Emeralds as well. The heroes set out to find Yoshi to help in their search, while Bowser summons the Koopa Bros to perform their own search. Wario and Waluigi also catch wind of this and begin scheming to take the gems themselves. Hijinks ensue.

** Luigi finally discovers the white Emerald in a forest, but Wario jumps him and steals it. Yoshi helps Luigi pursue Wario and Waluigi's automotive escape, cornering them on a mountaintop. However, they are all interrupted by a missile strike, blasting Wario and Waluigi into the distance and separating Yoshi and Luigi.
** Yoshi falls off the cliff with the Chaos Emerald, his fall broken by the forest below. He is then confronted by Metallix for the Emerald. Yoshi indignantly swallows it, so Metallix attacks.

** Yoshi is threatened by Metallix, but the Chaos Emerald in his stomach suddenly gives him a power boost that helps him fight back. Metallix is impressed by Yoshi's new strength, but still manages to overpower him and retrieve the Emerald using Chaos Control and his more durable robot body. He moves to finish him off, but upon seeing Sonic and Shadow approaching in the distance, he flees to face them another day. Sonic and Shadow bicker about Metallix's involvement. Mario angrily questions the two, and Sonic agrees that they have some things to explain.

** (That was the last scene produced of the original series. Alvin-Earthworm confirmed that Shadow would have lost his duel with Mecha Sonic, and that the heroes on the Doomship would've fought the Koopalings and eventually Mecha Mario after defeating Basilisx. The events planned afterwards are unknown).

** Mario and Sonic find themselves in a strange [[{{Retraux}} 8-bit]] landscape reminiscent of the first level from VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1. They begin looking for a way out when they run into Goombella and Kolorado, who also got stuck in the 8-bit world due to a recent research expedition. Kolorado tells Mario and Sonic that they are in the Minus World, and points out that his family's ancient stopwatch has even stopped working. Goombella also shows them that she had discovered the white Chaos Emerald during the expedition. Mario and Sonic take the Emerald and begin to search for a way out.

** Meanwhile, Mario and Luigi are about to have a [[VideoGame/MarioKartDoubleDash kart race]] against Wario and Waluigi in a stadium packed with bystanders, including Princess Peach. The Mario Bros. have some car trouble at first, but managed to catch up to their rivals. However, as the racers approach the finish line, a group of Bob-Ombs falls from the sky and detonates, destroying the track and announcing the arrival of the evil Bowser and his minion Kamek. Bowser explains he's come to humiliate Mario in front of his fans and kidnap Princess Peach, and the two face off.

** The Mario Bros. take Sonic and Shadow to Princess Peach's castle. There the hedgehogs ask them about the Chaos Emeralds, explaining that the Emeralds got teleported into the Mushroom Kingdom and they need to retrieve them before someone else gets their hands on them. Mario and Luigi offer to help look for them; however, the eavesdropping Wario Bros. also plan to find the Emeralds.

** Yoshi is brought to the home of the Mario Bros. to recover from his fight with Mecha Sonic. Sonic apologizes for not informing them of the danger sooner, and begins to tells them the full story behind their visit to the Mushroom Kingdom.

** The Mario Bros. and Peach are horrified by Sonic's story, and promise to help him stop Mecha Sonic. As Sonic finishes the story, [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion Professor E. Gadd]] arrives at the house. He gives them an Emerald Radar he had been working on since a Chaos Emerald crashed through his window earlier. As E. Gadd shows them the yellow Emerald, however, the lights in the house flicker and it vanishes from his hand. Shadow rushes off to look for the Emerald, and the other heroes soon follow using the Radar.
** Mario, Luigi, and Sonic find the thieves in a desolate field, and Mario recognizes them as the [[VideoGame/PaperMario64 Koopa Bros]]. Shadow appears to demand the Emerald back, blowing the heroes' cover to the Koopas. They explain that Bowser has sent them to search for the rumored Emeralds. Shadow impatiently attacks them, but is repelled by their teamwork. The leader, the Red Ninjakoopa, recognizes Mario from a previous battle, instigating a fight between the four heroes and the four Koopa Bros. The heroes manage to overpower the Koopa Bros. for most of the fight, until they use the Chaos Emerald to power up their special move and completely curb-stomp all the heroes in one attack. With the heroes unconscious, the Koopa Bros. steal their Radar and leave to find the rest of the Emeralds.

** Sonic awakens back in the house of the Mario Bros., having had a dreadful nightmare. Downstairs, Shadow is furious with his loss to the Koopa Bros. and refuses to accept medical attention. Professor E. Gadd arrives and hears the unfortunate news, but announces that he made a Radar Radar just in case they lost the Emerald Radar. Using the Radar Radar, they discover that the Koopa Bros. have traveled across the sea to Yoshi's Island. They use E. Gadd's flying Poltergust to cross the waters. Meanwhile, Yoshi has mysteriously disappeared from his bed.

** The heroes find the enslaved Yoshis mining away and break all of their chains, freeing them. They then go to the village statue where the Emerald was kept, but it is snatched up by the Koopa Bros. before they can reach it. The Emerald is then snatched back away by a mysterious figure atop an airship. The figure appears on the ground alongside several more, who introduce themselves as the Axem Rangers X: upgraded versions of the [[VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG Axem Rangers]] whom Mario fought in the past. Axem Red explains that their boss, Smithy, sent them to find power to help him return, and they believe they've found the jackpot on Yoshi's Island. The three teams decide to have a winners-take-all brawl for all the Emeralds present plus the Emerald Radar, and a massive fight breaks out that rocks the entire island.
** The Koopa Bros. decide to quickly end the battle by using their Emerald-powered special attack again. However, Mecha Sonic senses their use of the Emerald and dashes off to locate the source.

** The massive three-way battle rages on, and in the chaos Mario and Red Ninjakoopa both drop their radars. The Wario Bros. find the Radar Radar, while Sonic finds the Emerald Radar. He is cornered by several Koopa Bros. and Axem Rangers X for it, forcing him to run up the side of a mountain to escape.

** After dealing with Axem Yellow, who has split the mountain in two, Sonic notices a bright flash of light from the Axem Rangers' airship. Axem Red fires the Breaker Beam, which destroys the entire mountain range and shocks every fighter with its power. The Yoshi Chief begins to round up his tribe to evacuate if worse comes to worse, and Sonic promises they'll stop the Axem Rangers from destroying the island. The Koopa Bros. decide to try their special attack again to counterattack. However, Shadow is suddenly shocked as he senses Mecha Sonic's presence nearby.
** Mecha Sonic charges at the island, easily smashing through the Koopa Bros. special move and causing their Koopa shells to all crumble. He also flies directly into the Blade airship, deflecting the supercharged Breaker Beam with a barrier and crashing the entire aircraft. Mecha Sonic lands in front of the heroes, flaunting the two Chaos Emeralds he just obtained from the Koopas and Rangers and growing arrogant in his victory. Axem Red reads his power level, finding it to be "OVER 9000!!!" and ordering Axem Yellow to take the Emeralds back. However, Mecha Sonic breaks Axem Yellow's axe in two before accepting the Axem Rangers' challenge. He uses the four Emeralds he's collected to power up, becoming Semi-Super Mecha Sonic and making quick work of four of the Axem Rangers at once. Axem Red is horrified by Mecha Sonic's new power and tries to hit him with his ultimate attack, but it fails to do any damage. Mecha Sonic then quickly destroys Axem Red as well, before turning to face the heroes again.
** The five heroes charge into battle against Semi-Super Mecha Sonic, and are totally overpowered by his overwhelming strength. Mecha Sonic knocks Mario unconscious and teleports high above the island, preparing an enormous energy attack which will destroy the entire island and everyone on it. Luigi, fortunately, remembers Peach gave him a 1-Up Mushroom before he departed and uses it to revive Mario, who in turn finds an Invincibility Star in a nearby block. Mario brings the Star to Sonic, and the two use it to transform into Invincible Mario and Super Sonic respectively. The pair attack Mecha Sonic and steal back all four of the Chaos Emeralds, and are about to finish him off when the Invincibility Star wears off and sends them plummeting back to the ground. Frustrated, Mecha Sonic sends the charged attack at the island anyways before teleporting away. Sonic throws a Chaos Emerald to Shadow, who uses it with his Chaos Control to teleport the heroes, E. Gadd, and the entire Yoshi tribe off of Yoshi's Island and safely to the mainland. The unconscious Koopa Bros. are seen being engulfed in the blast, and the island is left in utter ruins.

** Kamek approaches Bowser's throne room, but is denied entry by the Koopatrol guards on the basis that Bowser is still throwing a tantrum after his loss to Mario. Kamek's mother, Kammy, appears, having returned from her vacation. She sends Kamek to his room and enters Bowser's throne room anyways, where she is blasted with a fireball. She informs Bowser of the Koopa Bros.' defeat, frustrating him further. She also tells him about the Chaos Emeralds that were present there, piquing his interest due to having heard of the Emeralds from an "old man." Bowser calls in Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings, announcing that they are going to storm the Mushroom Kingdom again and take Princess Peach by force. However, this time they will be bringing some secret weapons...

** Once they enter the Pipe Maze, however, the Emerald Radar picks up 30 different Emerald signatures, revealing that the Emerald's energy is somehow reflecting all over the maze. The group splits up to search the area, and nearby the Wario Bros. enter the caves as well. This starts a comedic montage of a search for the Emerald, including a cameo from Jeff and Hal from ''WebAnimation/BowsersKingdom''.

** Back in the Pipe Maze, all the heroes exit at once and land in a pile on the ground in front of Stuffwell. Mecha Sonic appears behind them and prepares to incinerate them all with a huge blast, but Shadow teleports them all back to the Mario Bros. house at the last second.

** The remaining four heroes head to Professor E. Gadd's laboratory to prepare for their raid on the Omega Doomship. The Mario Bros. grab some power-ups and the team boards the [[VideoGame/SuperMarioLand Sky Pop]] to fly after Bowser and Peach. The Wario Bros. see their takeoff and Wario throws Waluigi up to the plane, but he misses it and careens into the plains below.

** Elsewhere, a "VideoGame/SuperSmashBros" tournament is underway, and the final round is a fight between Mario and Wario. Rawk Hawk is present as a special guest announcer alongside two Lakitus, and Princess Peach is spectating. The fight begins, and Mario seems to have the upper hand until Wario gets an Assist Trophy and summons Waluigi to help. Mario is almost defeated by a Wario Bros. team-attack, but Luigi intervenes by throwing him an Invincibility Star at the last second. As the fight is about to continue, a Bulky Bob-Omb lands in the arena between them and detonates, announcing the arrival of the evil Bowser and his minion Kamek. Bowser explains he's come to humiliate Mario in front of his fans and kidnap Princess Peach, and the two face off.

** A [[HardWorkMontage montage]] begins, showing the heroes searching the Mushroom Kingdom for the Chaos Emeralds. Hijinks ensue, including recruiting Yoshi to help. Yoshi and Luigi end up finding the red Chaos Emerald together, but they are separated when a mysterious force destroys the cliff they're standing on. Luigi runs off to get help.
** Yoshi falls into the canyon below with the Chaos Emerald, where he is confronted by Mecha Sonic demanding he give it to him. When he refuses, Mecha Sonic becomes more physical, causing Yoshi to defiantly swallow the Emerald whole. Mecha Sonic decides to knock the Emerald out of him by force, and proceeds to give Yoshi a [[CurbStompBattle brutal beatdown]] until he finally spits it back up. He is about to finish the dinosaur off when he senses the approaching presence of Sonic and Shadow, shocked that they followed him to the Mushroom Kingdom. He lets Yoshi live and flees to save face.

** The brothers, hedgehogs, and E. Gadd arrive on Yoshi's Island. They quickly find what appears to be the purple Chaos Emerald, but E. Gadd is caught in a makeshift net trap as he approaches it. The heroes discover the Emerald is a fake and turn around to find the native Yoshi tribe, who are responsible for the trap. The Yoshi tribe angrily threatens the team, so Shadow attacks one of them, causing a fight to break out. The heroes are outnumbered and Mario is about to be finished off by the massive Thunderfoot, but is stopped by the arrival of the green Yoshi we know and love. The Yoshi Chief arrives and recognizes Mario from his days as a baby, being the Yoshi who [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland originally found him.]]
** The Yoshi Chief explains that five days ago he happened upon the real purple Chaos Emerald and was amazed by its power. However, soon a group of five mysterious Yoshis appeared and demanded an Emerald from the tribe. They then revealed that they were not Yoshis at all and attacked, enslaving the tribe and forcing them to mine the island for more Emeralds, believing them to be a natural resource. This is why the Yoshis had set up a trap. Sonic offers to free the enslaved Yoshis and defeat their oppressors.

** Basilisx stands over Mario, ready to end his game. However, he is interrupted by Luigi, who used his Tanooki Suit powers to escape Basilisx's petrifying stare. Luigi revives Mario with a 1-Up Mushroom, and the two brothers prepare to face Basilisx and his Koopatrol legions.
