Super Mario Bros. Super Show Cartoon Episode 47 – Mario of the Deep
Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad have traveled to the underwater kingdom of Aqua Land in a submarine built from a bathtub in order to fight against Barra-Koopa. Shortly after the group's arrival, Toad points out to a female Mermushroom being chased by a Bloober octopus, who is carrying a trident. Mario opts to stop the Bloober, and drives after him in the submarine. As the Bloober succeeds in grabbing the Mermushroom, it comes to a halt, just after the submarine parks itself next to him.
Wielding a plunger, Mario leaps out of the submarine and demands for the Bloober to leave the Mermushroom alone. The Bloober tosses the Mermushroom aside, and prepares to duel Mario with his trident. As the Bloober attempts to stab Mario, he leaps out of the way, leaving Luigi to ward off the attack with his own plunger. Mario lands behind the Bloober but fails to sneak up on him. Luigi tries to smack the Bloober with his plunger, but he shields it with his trident, and sends Luigi flying over to a boulder. Reclaiming his stuck plunger, Luigi pulls it off of the boulder with too much force and goes flying, hitting the Bloober in the face with his plunger as he lands. Afterwards, Luigi gets his head stuck in a sea anenome, imparing his vision.
A moment later, the Bloober cracks the sea anemone off of Luigi's head, and attacks him with his trident. Luigi barely dodges the Bloober's stabbing, and attempts to intercept him with his plunger. Realizing the danger that Luigi is in, Mario spots an anchor lying on the seabed. Twirling the anchor's chain like a lasso, Mario tosses it at the Bloober and knocks him unconscious.
As Toad thanks Mario and Luigi for defeating the Bloober, the Mermushroom comes out of hiding and gives them her thanks as well. Princess Toadstool questions the Mermushroom as to why the Bloober was chasing her, and she explains that he is working for Barra-Koopa, who is kidnapping all the citizens of Aqua Land and turning them into slaves. Princess Toadstool asks where Neptune, Lord of the Deep is, and the Mermushroom tells her that he has been imprisoned by Barra-Koopa. The Mermushroom then pleads for the group to help her people and free King Neptune. Mario then tells her that it is the reason they came.
Meanwhile, in the throne room of King Neptune's temple, Barra-Koopa is sitting on the throne before King Neptune, with a Bloober by his side. Barra-Koopa mocks King Neptune, laughing at the fact that he is now his prisoner, and can proceed with taking over Aqua Land. King Neptune tells Barra-Koopa to mellow out, but Barra-Koopa does not understand his reasoning, and orders the Bloober to send him to the dungeon. Barra-Koopa then laments on the fact that he cannot stand a nice king. At that moment, the Bloober that had fought with Mario and Luigi, now covered in bandages, enters the throne room and alerts Barra-Koopa about their arrival in Aqua Land. Barra-Koopa declares that Mario and Luigi are never going to spoil his fun again, and orders for the Bloober to sound the Koopa Pack attack.
Trivia & Bloopers
- When the Mermushroom swims from the Bloober, her neck and necklace flash.
- When Mario and his friends confront the Bloober in the beginning, the Mermushroom's arm is skin color instead of green.
- When the first fight starts, the Bloober disappears into thin air.
- When Princess Toadstool nudges a Bloober, her disguise is light-purple instead of dark-purple.
- With the Plumber's Log being removed in the French dub, and Aqua Land not mentioned anywhere else, this leaves the location the episode takes place ambiguous in the French dub.

Mario of the Deep
Two Bums from Brooklyn (Live Action Sketch)
At home in Mario Brothers Plumbing, Mario, having just gotten off the telephone, excitedly tells Luigi that he will never guess whom he was just on the phone with. Taking a moment to think, Luigi answers that it was Tommy Lasagna, the great baseball coach. Mario asks himself how Luigi knew who it was, and Luigi tells him that he figured it out when he overheard Mario mention Mr. Lasagna's last name while he was on the phone.
Mario then gets up and heads over to the kitchen area, where he picks up a freshly-cooked pot of Luigi's meatballs. Luigi asks Mario as to what he needs the meatballs for, and Mario tells him that Mr. Lasagna is probably coming over to recruit one of them as a player for his Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team, and that he needs them to practice his pitching. Telling Luigi to give him some space, Mario winds up a fastball with one of the meatballs, which he throws across the room, loudly breaking an unspecified object in the process.
Luigi tells Mario that pitches are small potatoes, and claims that Mr. Lasagna is coming over to scout him out instead. Holding a pipe like a baseball bat, Luigi pretends that he is up to bat in the bottom of the ninth inning with two men out. Swinging the bat, Luigi imagines that he hit the ball over the fence, and begins to walk around an imaginary baseline. Tired of Luigi's bragging, Mario picks up a meatball and tags Luigi out at home plate. Luigi argues that he hit the ball over the fence, and Mario reassures him that he has plenty more meatballs to spare.
Just then, the doorbell rings, so Luigi tells the visitor to enter, and he does, revealing himself to be Tommy Lasagna, with a meatball caught in his mouth. Luigi tells Mario that he indeed hit his ball over the fence, to which Mario comments that it was just a lucky shot.
Mario and Luigi show their gratitude towards Mr. Lasagna's arrival, but neither pay attention at first to the fact that he has a meatball stuck in his mouth. Luigi asks Mr. Lasagna as to which of them made his team, but he just mumbles, finally prompting Luigi to pull the meatball out of his mouth. Now rightly able to speak, Mr. Lasagna tells them that he did not come over to tell them who made his team, and that he would still need to see their stuff.
