Super Mario Bros. Super Show Cartoon Episode 30 – Mario & The Red Baron Koopa
This episode supposedly takes place after the events of "The Pied Koopa", due in part to Pastaland's celebration being held at the beginning. Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad are all attending in honor of chasing the Pied Koopa out of the area. Suddenly, King Koopa, now known as the Red Baron Koopa, appears in what appears to be a cross between an airplane and a magic carpet. As he heads to the celebration, he asks his Lakitu associate if the "secret weapon" is ready.
As Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool sit at a picnic table eating some spaghetti, Toad, who was sunbathing, notices several storm clouds appearing in the sky. As Toad begins to try to tell Mario about the storm clouds, lightning suddenly shoots downward, striking Mario's plate of spaghetti. As more bolts of lightning start striking, all the partygoers begin panicking and run away frantically as Mario begins to shout, "Save the spaghetti! Save the spaghetti!"
As rain begins to pour from the Lakitu's Cloud, the Red Baron Koopa orders the Lakitu to start releasing all the Spinies, which the Lakitu does. As the Spinies begin to cause havoc, Koopa announces to all of Pastaland's citizens that he plans on destroying their city using his "Wicked Weather Satellite". As Mario calls the satellite a piece of junk, an insulted Koopa orders Lakitu to activate the satellite, which begins raining large amounts of snow on Pastaland.
As the snow begins to pile up, Koopa issues an ultimatum: unless Pastaland surrenders to him in seventeen minutes, he will freeze the entire country over. As Princess Toadstool bemoans the fate of Pastaland, Toad comes up with an idea; use a large beanstalk the group had seen earlier to reach the Wicked Weather Satellite and destroy it.
Rushing off to the beanstalk, Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad begin to climb it. After some trouble, the group reaches the Wicked Weather Satellite and prepares to knock it out of the sky. Unfortunately, Koopa, in his flying machine, appears. Before Mario can reach the satellite, Koopa blasts the beanstalk's base with his fireball-launcher, causing the large plant to collapse, dumping the heroes in the snow.
As Luigi begins to lose confidence in defeating the Red Baron Koopa, Toad, after scrounging through the snow, discovers a lever; pulling this lever, he activates a platform that lifts Mario and Luigi to Cloud Land. After a while of rising, Mario and Luigi are finally dropped off at Sam Shalam and Slammer's magic carpet store. After some bargaining, Mario and Luigi manage to buy a magic carpet, "Guaranteed to last… until it falls apart".

Mario & The Red Baron Koopa
Gorilla My Dreams (Live Action Sketch)
In Mario Brothers Plumbing, While shining his shoes in the apartment, Luigi is approached by Mario, who is asking where his boxer shorts are. Luigi proceeds to unravel the rag he was shining his shoes with, revealing them to be Mario's shorts. Mario, unphased by the fact that his shorts were being used to scrub shoes, simply sets them on a table. Suddenly, the radio announces that all the "plumbers and plumbettes" should be ready for the upcoming ball.
Remembering the ball, Mario goes to change into his rabbit costume while Luigi goes to change into his gorilla costume, which he accidentally left in his truck. While Mario and Luigi are gone, a news broadcast about an escaped gorilla from the "Ding-a-Ling Bros. Circus" is played, warning citizens to keep their doors closed.
After changing into his costume, Mario exits his room and begins looking for Luigi. Suddenly, a gorilla bursts through the door and begins to destroy various objects. Mario, believing the gorilla to be Luigi in his costume, starts asking why he is wrecking the place and starts calling his "costume" unattractive. The gorilla, annoyed with Mario, pulls his hat over his eyes and flings him into a wall. Later on, Mario begins to pick-up the mess made by the gorilla. While stacking pizza boxes, Mario is approached by Luigi in his gorilla costume; Luigi begins asking Mario if his costume looks okay, Mario simply responds that it looks terrible and begins to tell him off for wrecking the place.
A surprised Luigi begins to ask what Mario is talking about and in retaliation for Mario telling him off, Luigi starts to mock Mario's bunny costume. Eventually, Mario leaves to look for his bunny ears while Luigi starts cleaning up the place. As he is moving some trash, Luigi is approached by the gorilla. Thinking the gorilla to simply be Mario in a costume making fun of him, Luigi starts trying to tear the "costume" off of "Mario." Luigi is surprised to see that the fur he pulled off the gorilla was real and Luigi is left facing an extremely angry ape.
Mario finally returns and is has trouble figuring out which gorilla is the real one and which one is Luigi. Deciding to test which one is Luigi, Mario gives the gorillas a pair of pipes and tells them to fix them; before Luigi can do anything, the real gorilla simply twists its pipe into a knot.
