"A New Beginning" is the 22nd episode of Mario & Luigi's Stupid & Dumb Adventures.
Synopsis[]
Mario jumps in a time portal to take him back in time to stop everyone from dying. But, Mario soon finds out that he jumped into a dimension portal instead of a time portal. Mario is now stuck in a dimension where everything is reversed! Mario needs the help of smart Mama Luigi to get back to his old dimension!
Plot[]
Beginning where the previous episode, The Final Battle,’ left off, Mario leaps through the portal of the time machine, leaving Yoshi to be viciously attacked by Diddy Kong. The screen then shows footage of Mario & Luigi’s Stupid & Dumb Adventures rapidly rewinding from 2010 to 2007 at a speed of 100%. Subsequently, Mario joyfully tumbles from the sky portal to land on the grass, realizing he has returned to his house. However, he soon discovers that all of his roommates are different from how he remembers them.
For instance, against his will, Bowser is on cooking duty for Chef Pee Pee. The show Charleyyy and Friends has been renamed to Harleyyy and Friends, with Harleyyy, portrayed by Logan Thirtyacre, hosting the show as a white-skinned version of Charleyyy, which happens to be Pee Pee’s favorite program. Toad now has a deep voice and sings country instead of his usual rap. Black Yoshi has transformed into White Yoshi, portraying a stereotypical white person, and spends his time playing Animal Crossing on his Wii. Shrek has changed his habits and now urinates in toilets, calls everyone “Camel”, and eats sweet peas. Amidst these perplexing experiences in his home, Mario finds himself confused and in tears, realizing that his world has undergone a mysterious switch. He then encounters Mama Luigi, who, to his surprise, has become super intelligent and developed an interest in reading books.
As Mario discusses his strange world with Mama Luigi, he learns that Mama Luigi has an understanding of portals. Mama Luigi presents Mario with two pictures of portals in different colors—one blue and one red. Mario points to the blue portal picture, the one he traveled through, and Mama Luigi explains that it is a Dimension Portal. The red portal, on the other hand, is a Time Portal, which Mario should have gone through. This revelation sheds light on why Mario’s world, including everyone around him, is different from their original counterparts. Mario is a victim of an accidental journey to an alternate universe.
Mama Luigi explained to Mario that Dimension Portals could transport him to various dimensions. He mentioned dimensions where Barack Obama did not become America’s first black president or where Mario was handsome but bald, which made Mario start sobbing after realizing he was now lost in that alternate world forever. In an attempt to cheer Mario up, Mama Luigi suggested playing games featuring Luigi, Nintendo’s mascot, with him. However, this didn’t help and instead made Mario feel worse.
But then, Mama Luigi came up with a solution. He took Mario to the kitchen and handed him a Time Remote, which looked like a toy cell phone. This device would allow Mario to travel through different times and dimensions, giving him hope that he could eventually return to his original universe. Mama Luigi pleaded with Mario to step far away from him to the other side, fearing that he might accidentally be transported along with him. Mario, full of determination, activated the dimension button on the remote, causing him to vanish in a flash and embark on his next adventure. As Mario disappeared, Mama Luigi uttered, “Good luck, Mario. You’re gonna need it.”
