Luigi breaks bad with Mario while SMG4 & Meggy search for a way to take their home back.
With Mario and Luigi's stupidity restored through the power of memes, SMG4 tasks them with cooking up new ones for the rest of the canonized Nintendo characters, which escalates into a Breaking Bad pastiche when the Nintendo ninjas intervene. Meanwhile, SMG4 and Meggy set out on a journey beyond the firewall to find something that could help them turn the tide against Lawyer Kong.
The fourth episode of the Lawsuit Arc.
Tropes
- Accidental Murder: Luigi feeds a ninja named Jacob one of his memes, which somehow kills him. It's the main reason why he suddenly became a Walter White-esque version of himself.
- Affectionate Parody: Of Breaking Bad, as the title indicates, with Luigi taking on the role (and facial features) of Walter White.
- Big Brother Instinct: Mario is greatly overjoyed to have his brother back, and works with him to develop the antidote for their Nintendo friends.
- Cliffhanger: Mario and Luigi are captured by Lawyer Kong and tossed in the back of a police van, while SMG4 and Meggy arrive at the grand halls of Wikipedia to find a legal way back into the Mushroom Kingdom.
- Deader than Dead: A guard (named Jacob) who consumed a meme ended up having a heart attack and dying. His ghost ascends... and gets destroyed by a jet turbine.
- Dope Slap: Luigi catches Mario trying to sneak a pingas antidote from the conveyor belt and slaps him away.
- Hope Spot: Luigi is seemingly successful at getting Lawyer Kong to back off from the Mario Bros. and let them be. Unfortunately, Lawyer Kong shocks him hard enough with a well-timed Your Mom joke that causes Luigi to lose his Walter White-esque features and personality and leaves him and Mario easy prey for capture.
- How We Got Here: The episode starts with Luigi driving the RV in his boxers, while Mario is unconscious in the back. We then flashback five hours earlier.
- Suddenly Voiced: Luigi becomes fully voiced when he transforms into his Walter White persona. It ends after he is changed back.
- The Stool Pigeon: Mario and Luigi get ratted out twice: the first comes from a canonized Koopa who points the ninja policemen to the ones who fed them the pingas antidote. The second comes from one of the ninjas sent to arrest them, who brings in Lawyer Kong and slew of backup officers to stop them.
- Your Mom: Lawyer Kong says these exact words to neutralize Luigi, making him and Mario vulnerable to capture.
