[instrumental music]
Mario: Luigi.
Luigi: Yo.
Mario: My prize-winning spaghetti sauce is finished. Try it.
Luigi: Not now, Mario, can't you see I'm busy?
Mario: Come on, please.
Luigi: All right, all right, watch it! OK! Let me try.
Mario: Well?
Luigi: Mario, this sauce is the best I ever tasted.
Mario: I knew it. It's the secret ingredients that did it.
Luigi: What secret ingredient?
Mario: Yeah, I used seeds.
Luigi: Seeds? What's so special about seeds?
Mario: They were dehydrated vegetable seeds.
Luigi: Mario, I'll tell you the truth. Seeds, no seeds, this sauce... delicious.
Mario: Uh-oh...
Luigi: Uh-oh?
Mario: Uh-oh.
Luigi: What do you mean uh-oh? What's wrong?
Mario: Oh, I mean, uh, nothing, uh, what could be wrong? Uh... I mean, everything's fine, especially your neck.
Luigi: My neck? What's wrong with my neck? (screams)
Mario: If it makes you feel better, it's matching your coveralls.
Luigi: Are you crazy? Look at my neck!
(Fades to a commercial bumper.)
Mario [vo]: Super Mario Bros. Super Show will return.
Mario [vo]: Now back to the Super Mario Bros. Super Show.
The Plumber Rap: Part 2[]
[theme song]
Here we go, yo!
It's the Mario Brothers, and plumbing's their game
Found the secret warp zone while working on the drain
Lend the Princess a hand in the Mushroom Land
Join the action with the plumbers, you'll be hooked on the brothers!
Now, evil Koopa and his Troopas are up to misbehaving
They kidnapped the Princess; Mushroom Land needs saving
Amusing and confusing, everybody discovers
They can't help but be hooked on the brothers. Uh!
Hooded Robin and His Mario Men[]
Mario: (narrating) Plumber's Log, number 2-0-3. We were in the middle Sharewood Forest, and we were lost.
(Mario and his friends are in the middle of the forest, and Toad is holding a map.)
Toad: Okay, I got it this time. Sharewood Village is this way.
(Toad points to a spot on the map.)
Toad: Let's go!
(As soon as the four of them walk off, they are caught by a net hidden on the ground, and are now hanging from a tree.)
Mario: You know, my Mushroom paisano, maybe it's time to get a new map.
(Some Troopas, who are dressed as knights, are standing below the net.)
Koopa Troopa: You won't need it where you're going, Hooded Robin!
Princess Toadstool: Hooded Robin? They think we're someone else.
Luigi: Nobody up here, but us plumbers!
Koopa Troopa: Plumbers? Ha! Good try, birdbrain, but you can't fool me.
King Koopa: (offscreen) Troopas, retreat!
Koopa Troopa: That's the Sheriff of Koopingham's voice. All right, Troopas! Listen up!
King Koopa: (offscreen) I want, uh, daisies! Fetch me every daisy in the forest!
Koopa Troopa: Daisies? Right! Troopas, fall out!
(The Troopas run off in various directions.)
Mario: That sure sounds like Koopa, but why would that rotten reptile rescue us?
(A human-sized robin, who wears a hat like Robin Hood, flies up to the group.)
Hooded Robin: Not Koopa, my friend, t'was I, Hooded Robin; Sharewood's most wanted outlaw. People call for my specialty. (in King Koopa's voice) I'm the Sheriff of Koopingham. Scourge of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Toad: Hooded Robin! So, the Troopas were on your tail!
Hooded Robin: (normal voice) Precisely, old chap. Ha ha. I rob from the rich Koopa, and give to the poor Mushrooms.
(Hooded Robin uses a bow to shoot a plunger at the rope holding up the net and it breaks. Hooded Robin grabs Princess Toadstool as she falls, but the Mario Bros. and Toad land in the bushes.)
Hooded Robin: Fear not, m'lady. Hooded Robin is the swashbuckler supreme.
Toad: Show-off supreme if you ask me!
(Cut to Sharewood Village. Mario, his friends and Hooded Robin are with some of the local Mushroomers.)
Hooded Robin: Friends, I'd like you to meet the good Mushroom folk of Sharewood Village.
Child Mushroom: Except we don't have anything to share no more.
Princess Toadstool: Oh, you poor child!
Child Mushroom: That mean old Sheriff of Koopingham up and snatched all our gold coins.
(The rest of the villagers nod in disappointment.)
Princess Toadstool: We'll help you get your gold back. Right, guys?
Mario: Sure will!
(Hooded Robin pats Mario on the back.)
Hooded Robin: Jolly good! Hooded Robin and his Mario men, shall stop Koopa in his greedy tracks!
Toad: I'm all for laying out lizard lips. But how do we find him?
Hooded Robin: A cinch! He's on his way there.
(Toad points to King Koopa's castle on the map. Cut to a path leading to the castle itself. King Koopa is riding in a horse-drawn covered wagon, which is on its way to the castle. A few Troopas are also guarding the wagon.)
King Koopa: Koopingham Castle, straight ahead! I gotta stow this dough! (laughing)
(A shot of inside the wagon shows that sacks of gold coins surround King Koopa, who's handling a few of the coins.)
King Koopa: I'm glad that the folks of Sharewood shared with their sheriff. Ha ha ha.
(One of the Troopas presents King Koopa with a bouquet of daisies.)
Koopa Troopa: Mission accomplished, your most notorious nastiness.
King Koopa: Daisies? I didn't ask for daisies. I ordered you to trap that rebel, Robin!
Koopa Troopa: But, oh, most Koopafied sheriff, your orders, in the forest! At the trap. Uh-oh.
King Koopa: You nincomtroopa!
(King Koopa beats the bouquet with his scepter.)
King Koopa: You were hoodwinked by Hooded Robin! I'm gonna pluck that bird nerd, wing from wing!
(The wagon stops suddenly. King Koopa falls over, and the Troopa falls out next to Toad. Toad is wearing sunglasses, has a star badge on his head, and is standing next to a tollbooth.)
Toad: Pull it over! This is a toll road!
Koopa Troopa: Toll road? Since when?
(Toad pulls out a note and reads it.)
Toad: By order of his most royal repulsiveness, the reptile Sheriff of Koopingham! The castle road shall require a toll! In the amount of: One wagon full of gold coins!
(King Koopa gets out of the wagon.)
King Koopa: Forget it, fungus face! I stole that gold unfair and square!
(The Troopas fire plungers at Toad, but he ducks and they miss.)
Toad: Okay, okay! I'll take an I.O.U.
King Koopa: It'll take more than that lame truffle brain to stop me from getting this gold back to my castle.
Hooded Robin: (offscreen) Sheriff, you're quite mistaken.
(King Koopa looks up and sees Hooded Robin in a tree.)
Hooded Robin: I'm going to return that gold to the kind Mushfolk of Sharewood, or my name's not Hooded Robin!
(The Mario Bros. and Princess Toadstool walk up to the barrier at the tollbooth. The Mario Bros. are now wearing Robin Hood-type hats. Much like their normal hats, Mario's is red with an M, while Luigi's is green with an L. Princess Toadstool now has a feather in her crown.)
Mario: And don't forget his Mario men.
(Mario shoots a plunger from a bow, which hits King Koopa's snout, knocking him over. The Troopas run over to King Koopa, but Hooded Robin trips one of them with a plunger and they all fall over onto King Koopa.)
King Koopa: Stop!
(Another Troopa, who's holding a sword, runs up to the barrier.)
Koopa Troopa: Charge!
(Princess Toadstool gets onto the barrier.)
Princess Toadstool: There!
(As the barrier rises, it hits the Troopa and knocks him into a tree. King Koopa gets up, knocking all of the Troopas off of him.)
King Koopa: How long ya gonna stay here?
(King Koopa pulls the plunger off of his snout. He then looks up in a tree and sees Hooded Robin, who's pretending to sleep. He shoots Hooded Robin with the plunger, but ends up missing and hits the tree. Hooded Robin gets up and flies over to the wagon.)
Hooded Robin: Now, to go for the gold.
Princess Toadstool: Robin, be careful.
Hooded Robin: Hooded Robin, laughs at danger! (laughs)
(A Troopa places a cage inside the wagon. Hooded Robin accidentally flies into it, and King Koopa locks the door with a padlock.)
Mario and his friends: (gasps)
Luigi: Leaping lasagna! Koopa's got him captive! Arrivederci, Robin!
King Koopa: This rich reptile can really rob from the poor...
(King Koopa gets back into the wagon and rides off.)
King Koopa: ...while beak geek rots in my dungeon. (laughing)
(Fades to a commercial bumper.)
Mario [vo]: Be right back, paisanos.
Mario [vo]: We're back, paisanos.
(Fades to the dungeon of the castle. Hooded Robin is now in a birdcage inside the dungeon, and King Koopa is standing by the door.)
King Koopa: So, Hooded Robin, how does it feel be a jailbird?
King Koopa: (in Hooded Robin's voice) Hooded Robin never admits defeat.
King Koopa: Face it, featherweight! You're Kooput! Ha ha ha ha!
(King Koopa leaves.)
Hooded Robin: Hooded Robin, is in big trouble.
(Cut to the front doors of the castle, which is guarded by three Troopas.)
Koopa Troopa: I don't get it. We're cruel. We're criminal. Why are we stuck on guard duty? (growls) Nobody gets past us alive.
Mario: (offscreen) Coming through!
(The Mario Bros. wheel up a wagon full of pipes.)
Mario: Easy, fellas. This is official castle business.
Koopa Troopa: There's nothing wrong with our moat!
Mario: Quit living in the dark ages. You need a modern moat. Mr. Troopa, close your evil eyes. Now, picture your dream moat.
(The Troopa closes his eyes and envisions his dream moat, which is protected by boiling water, barbed wire, satellites, and surveillance cameras.)
Mario: Boiling water, barbed wire...
(A Trouter pops out of the water and jump out.)
Koopa Troopa: Man-eating Trouters!
(The Troopa opens his eyes.)
Koopa Troopa: Yike! Huh?
(The Mario Bros. wheel the wagon into the castle. The Troopa falls into the moat, but jumps back up to the bridge, and the other Troopas help him up.)
Koopa Troopa: Hold it, you sewer squirts, you can't dupe a Troopa. You're the Mario Brothers! Troopatize those pipesqueaks!
(The Troopas fire spears and plungers at the Mario Bros. as they run through the castle. Princess Toadstool and Toad poke their heads out from under the pipes on the wagon.)
Toad: Pour on the pasta power, dudes!
Princess Toadstool: No! Stop right here!
(The Mario Bros. stop the wagon, and Toad flies out.)
Toad: Oops!
Luigi: Suffering spaghetti, I wish you guys would make up your minds!
Princess Toadstool: There's our escape route. I'll throw that flask of magic potion at the wall.
(Princess Toadstool throws a potion at the wall, creating a door that Toad opens.)
Mario: Quick! Through the magic door!
(The four of them run through the door. The door disappears when the Troopas run up to it, and they end up hitting the wall. The Mario Gang come out of another door in the dungeon.)
Luigi: The dungeon? I'm allergic to dungeons. I just knew that magic door would lead us to...
(The four of them see Hooded Robin in his cage.)
Mario: Hooded Robin!
Hooded Robin: Bravo! I knew my Mario men were made of tough stuff!
Mario: This'll be easy as pie! Pizza pie, with pepperoni!
(Mario cuts off the lock with pliers, and Hooded Robin steps out of the cage.)
Hooded Robin: Hooded Robin is lucky to have such simply smashing friends.
Mario: Then let's start smashing our way outta here, and find that gold!
(Fades to another part of the castle. The Mario Gang and Hooded Robin are looking through the window at Fryguy, who's guarding a door.)
Toad: It's Fry Guy!
Mario: And he's guarding the gold coins! How do we get past that hothead?
Hooded Robin: Hmm. We need something to catch Fryguy's fancy.
Princess Toadstool: How about a Frygal?
Mario, Luigi, and Hooded Robin: Frygal?
Princess Toadstool: Just wait and see.
(Princess Toadstool runs off and enters the room Fryguy's in. Without getting his attention, she rips away a curtain, grabs a pitchfork, the tips of which are burning like a torch, and brings it back to the group.)
Princess Toadstool: Robin, can you do a girl's voice?
Hooded Robin: (in a flirty, girl's voice) Your highness, Hooded Robin can imitate any voice.
(Princess Toadstool shows him the pitchfork.)
Hooded Robin: (normal voice) Frygal? Oh, no! I'm not...
(Later, Hooded Robin is standing on top of Toad and holding the pitchfork over his head. He's also holding up a pair of sunglasses, similar to the one's Fryguy's wears.)
Hooded Robin: ...dressing up as Frygal.
(The Mario Bros. hand Princess Toadstool the curtain, and she ties it around Toad and Hooded Robin. They now sort of resemble a tall female Fryguy who's wearing a dress.)
Princess Toadstool: Relax, you guys look great!
(Once the Mario Bros. and Princess Toadstool leave, Fryguy turns around and sees the Frygal.)
Fryguy: Hubba hubba!
[whistles]
Fryguy: Hot stuff!
Hooded Robin: (in his girly voice) Hello, handsome! You remind me of my old flame.
Fryguy: I'm the heat to meet, baby! The name's Fryguy.
(Fryguy bounces over to the Frygal.)
Hooded Robin: (in his girly voice) Let's step around the corner and see what cooks!
(The Frygal walks out of the room, and Fryguy follows.)
Fryguy: My heart is on fire.
(Mario paces over to the exit Fryguy went through. He then signals the others, and they run over to the door at the back of the room. They look through the barred window of the door and see piles of gold coins along with several chests.)
Mario: That's a heaping helping of moolah!
Luigi: Yeah! And it's a lot of money too!
(King Koopa opens the door from inside.)
Mario Gang: (gasps)
King Koopa: My money, tap turkey!
(Troopas surround them from behind.)
King Koopa: And there's a death penalty for early withdrawal.
(Cut to Fryguy, who's following the Frygal around the castle. The curtain slips off of Toad and Hooded Robin, which stuns Fryguy for a moment. Toad and Hooded Robin don't notice at first, until Fryguy blows out their fire. Hooded Robin coughs. Hooded Robin tosses away the sunglasses and pitchfork, picks up Toad, and runs off. Fryguy goes after them, trying to spit fire at them. Hooded Robin crashes into Mario, who's with Luigi and Princess Toadstool. The five of them huddle and run off as Fryguy and the Troopas approach them. Hooded Robin flies into the room leading to the treasure hall and stands outside the door. Fryguy flies through the door, and Hooded Robin locks him in. Meanwhile, Mario stomps on a Troopa and kicks him over to Luigi, who knocks him away with his plunger. The Troopa rolls into a bunch of other Troopas. Inside the room leading to the treasure hall, King Koopa enters, and Princess Toadstool fires a plunger on a rope at his shell. Toad throws the end off the rope over the curtain rod. The Mario Bros. run in. Mario catches the other end and ties it to something, leaving King Koopa hanging in the air. Smoke floats out of the door to the treasure hall.)
Hooded Robin: The treasure vault! It's red hot!
(The Mario Bros. and Hooded Robin run over to the door and look inside at Fryguy, who's melting all of the coins.)
Fryguy: Wait till I get my flames on you!
Luigi: Frygoon's throwing a temper tantrum!
Toad: Yeah! He's melting the gold coins into liquid assets!
Mario: Liquid? No problissimo!
(Later, a pipe extends up from a hole in the floor and goes through the door. Luigi climbs out.)
Mario: You gotta remember! When in doubt, flush it out!
(Mario pushes a switch, causing water to fly out of the pipe, spraying Fryguy.)
King Koopa: Shut off that Kooplicated contraption, you clog clown!
(Mario pulls the switch the other way, which sucks up all the melted coins.)
King Koopa: My money's going down the drain!
Hooded Robin: Indeed, you vile reptile! The gold is going back to the Mushroom citizens of Sharewood.
(Fades to the village. The Mario Bros., who are wearing their normal hats again, Princess Toadstool, who no longer has a feather in her crown, Toad, and Hooded Robin are there with the villagers.)
Hooded Robin: We have defeated the Sheriff of Koopingham!
(The child walks up to Mario.)
Mario: Hey! It's the Mushroom bambino! Have we got a surprise for you!
(Mario presses down on a pump, and a gold coin pours out.)
Child Mushroom: It's a gold coin!
(Mario and the child pump out more coins, and everyone cheers.)
Toad: Ha ha, what do you know? Hot and gold running water.
Hooded Robin: This calls for a celebration feast.
Mario: A feast? And we're invited?
Hooded Robin: Of course! The more, the merrier!
(Luigi pats Mario's stomach.)
Luigi: Better make that "The more for Mario".
(The Mario Gang laugh.)
Flower Power: Part 2[]
[instrumental music]
[doorbell rings]
Mario: Don't worry, this time I'll get it. Can I help you?
Young MacDonald: Yes, siree, uh, you called our farm?
Mario: I called Old McDonald's farm.
Young MacDonald: Yeah, I've heard that a thousand times, e-i-e-i-o. I'm young Donald's son. Dad's at a tater convention, so I'm running the farm. (sighs) Whew. Ooh, boy, it is bad, ain't it? It smells like a produce section in here. Ooh. Ah. Let me take a good look at this. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh. Mm-hmm.
Mario: What's wrong?
Young MacDonald: I don't know. Have you tried picking them?
Mario: No, they don't look ripe yet.
Young MacDonald: You got any clippers?
Mario: Yeah, here.
Young MacDonald: Oh. This oughta fix you right up. Oh, yeah, this oughta be great.
Mario: Thanks, Young MacDonald. While you're here, would you mind taking a look at the sick carrots in the tub garden?
Young MacDonald: Sure.
Luigi: Uh-oh!
Mario: Uh-oh! They grew back again.
Young MacDonald: Oh, don't worry, you'll get used to 'em.
Luigi: Oh, really?
Young MacDonald: Sure. That kind of stuff grows on you!
(After a Mario head transition...)
Mario: While you watch some scenes from the next Legend of Zelda, I'll pick some vegetables.
Luigi: Ow! Pain in the neck. Kidding, kidding, I love this guy.
Flower Power: Part 3[]
[rooster crowing]
Mario: Have you found anything?
Young MacDonald: Not yet, this is a really tough case.
Luigi: I can't believe that you talked me into eating your stupid spaghetti sauce.
Mario: Hey, it's not my fault. It's yours, you ate it.
Luigi: Is not.
Mario: Is so!
Luigi: Is not!
Mario: Is so!
Luigi: Is not!
Mario: Is so!
Luigi: Is...
Young MacDonald: Boys, boys, boys, come on. I think I found an answer. Luigi, you have veggie-itis. Veggie-itis. The strange malady of vegetables growing out of the human body. This usually happens when chopped up vegetables seeds are eaten with spaghetti sauce. This only occurs every three hundred years in Brooklyn.
Luigi: Oh, boy, lucky me. Is there a cure?
Young MacDonald: I'm getting to that. Yes, yes, there is a cure. Eat a rose. This will cause the vegetables to fall off instantly.
Mario: A rose? Hey, wait a minute, I've got a rose. Here you go, Luigi.
Luigi: Okay.
chomp chomp chomp
Young MacDonald: Unfortunately, eating a rose sometimes causes rose-itis which, uh, lasts about a week.
Mario: What's rose-itis?
Young MacDonald: Roses grow out of your ears.
Mario: Oh, well, I guess we'll have to look at the bright side.
Luigi: What bright side?
Mario: Well, you smell better than you smelt in a long time.
Mario and Young MacDonald: (laughs)
(Fades to a commercial bumper.)
Mario [vo]: Stick around, paisanos. We'll be right back.
Ending Segment[]
Mario: Until next time, everybody!
Mario, Luigi, and Young MacDonald: Do the Mario!
