- King Koopa: Outta my way! The statue is mine...
- [crocodiles appear as Koopa leaves]
- King Koopa: And the crocodiles are yours!
- Mario: Duck!
- [Mario and Luigi hide in a bush as crocodiles stampede past them]
- Luigi: You're wrong, Mario. It wasn't ducks, it was crocodiles.
- Mario: Yeah, scared crocodiles.
- Luigi: Scared of what?
- Mario: That's it! Luigi, you're a genius!
- Luigi: I am? What did I say?
- Mario: Koopa! Don't you get it? They were running from Koopa. He's got the magic statue that scares crocodiles away.
- Luigi: I know he's got the magic statue. So what? We can't find him. We lost his trail.
- Mario: [points to the crocodiles' footprints] But these crocodile tracks should lead us right to Koopa.
- Luigi: Really? I knew that. You said I was a genius.
- [the Mario Bros. run off with the magic statue]
- King Koopa: Hey, you pathetic plunger pushers! Give me that back! That's mine! I stole it myself!
