The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 Episode 10 – Tag Team Trouble
Toad is carrying a large sack with several dollar signs on it through the Mushroom Kingdom, when he places it down to catch his breath. Toad comments to himself that the next time Princess Toadstool needs someone to deliver one million Gold Coins to the Mushroom Orphange, he will be on vacation.
Nearby, King Koopa and Cheatsy Koopa are walking through the Mushroom Kingdom, holding a flyer. Koopa tells Cheatsy to follow his plan so that they will be rolling in easy money. Toad overhears this, and assuming that the Koopas are after his money, he picks up the sack and flees.
Cheatsy notices Toad and tries to tell his father, but Koopa tells him to shut up and pay attention. As Toad dodges some fireballs from a Venus Fire Trap, Cheatsy tries to get his attention again, but Koopa throws the flyer down, yells at him, and drags his son away.
Toad soon arrives at the orphanage and rings the doorbell. Exhausted from carrying the sack, Toad falls asleep right before a Mushroom Nanny and two Mushroom kids answer the door. The kids laugh at Toad sleeping, but the nanny tells them not to laugh, and that the orphanage needs the money to stay open. Without waking Toad, the nanny and the kids bring the money inside, and the nanny thanks him.
Right after Toad wakes up, he realizes that the sack is gone, and concludes that Koopa had stolen it while he napped. Toad figures that he will have to make up for the lost money someway and walks home. Along the way, he picks up the flyer that Koopa dropped, and sees that it is promoting the Mushroom Wrestling Federation's Tag Team Wrestling Tournament. Uninterested, Toad throws the flyer into a garbage can, just as something on the flyer catches his attention: first prize is one million gold coins.
Needing a wrestling team to enter the tournament for him, Toad presents the flyer to his cousins, the Mushroom Marauder and Jake the Crusher Fungus. The cousins agree and head to the arena with Toad to sign up for the tournament. However, they are knocked off their feet by two Sledge Brothers. Cheatsy walks up to the front of the line and enters the Sledge Bros. in the tournament. Wanting revenge on the Sledge Brothers, the Mushroom Marauder and Jake roll into the Sledge Brothers, knocking them into Koopa and Cheatsy. Toad tells his cousins to save their strength for the match, explaining that they need to win.
