Oh, Brother! Episode Guide | Super Luigi Bros

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 Episode 11 – Oh, Brother!

A rainstorm is taking place in the Mushroom Kingdom one night, and everyone is confined to their homes. Princess Toadstool, Toad, Mario, and Luigi are all inside Toad's house, where the Princess comments that it has been raining non-stop for two weeks while looking out the window.

Toad remarks that the storm going on outside is nothing compared to the one going on inside, and directs her to the Mario Bros. Luigi is trying to read a book, but he is unable to concentrate due to the loud music that Mario is dancing to. Annoyed, Luigi tells Mario to turn the volume on the record player down, but Mario does not comply, saying it is "hot." Fed up with Mario's music, Luigi pulls the record out of the player and throws it into the fireplace, melting it, while he sarcastically comments that "now it's even hotter."

Mario then yells at Luigi for burning his favorite record. Luigi responds by stating that he is making up for the time that Mario busted his favorite wrench. Luigi then pulls down Mario's hat and tugs his overall straps and mustache, aggravating Mario (who comments that he hates it when Luigi does that). Princess Toadstool and Toad tries to get them to make peace, but Mario and Luigi ignore them, continue to quarrel, and get into a fight.

After the fight, Mario exclaims that brothers are good for nothing and wishes that he never even had a brother. Hurt by this, Luigi says that Mario can consider himself "debrotherized" and leaves, bidding his "ex-brother" farewell. Princess Toadstool tells Luigi to take a Frog Suit for the rain, but Luigi refuses to take one, and walks off. When Princess Toadstool mentions that someone should go after Luigi, Mario agrees and goes, feeling obligated to do so because he is his brother, despite the fight the two just had. Princess Toadstool tells Mario to take a Frog Suit as well, but he too declines the suggestion.

Meanwhile, Kooky von Koopa is giving King Koopa an explanation of his new invention: The Power Shower. The Power Shower forces rain down upon the Mushroom Kingdom, where it falls through a Warp Pipe into the Pipe World, flushing all the loose Gold Coins through the pipes and into a basin in an underground dungeon. However, a pipe in the dungeon that is connected to the Power Shower bursts, and water starts flooding the dungeon. When Kooky explains that he is unable to fix a leaking pipe, Koopa sends for either of the Mario Bros.

Back in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario catches up with Luigi, but the two brothers still have not forgiven each other and start to quarrel again. Luigi pulls on Mario's hat, overalls and mustache again, and Mario tells him to knock it off. Unknown to them, Kooky is spying on them arguing from the dungeon through his Koopascope. Kooky asks King Koopa which Mario brother they should "Koopnap", and Koopa resorts to a game of "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" with Mario and Luigi's pictures on dartboards, ultimately picking Mario.
