There’s No Place Like Brooklyn?
Stuck in the frozen wasteland, till fleeing from Koopa/Bowser… Not consistently despite Mario implying otherwise… The brothers become homesick.
Escaping Koopa while in the middle of an icy section that looks like a set piece from The Day After Tomorrow, the Four end up in a vast underground network of pipes.
There surely must be a Master Plumber to have set all these up, Mario surmises. No. Mario isn’t turning into a Plumbing Apologist. There is indeed a Master Plumber. Today’s guest star, Salvatori.
Apparently he wound up in the Mushroom Kingdom like Mario & Luigi, 13 years ago. He thinks he found a way back to Brooklyn. Hence why he built all these pipes.
How he survive in the frozen wasteland while building this set up for 13 years? Dunno. But he did. Peach decides she needs to send the homesick brothers home.
A random Sniffit somehow ends up in the underground with the five. He goes back to Bowser’s base camp to interrupt giant toast eating. To tell Bowser that the Four have escaped… Huh?
I’m pretty sure he was meaning to tell Koopa that he discovered where the Four were. Eh. Is this a failure of the script? Or a one take experimenter didn’t fix? Not a big goof but sit a goof.
Bowser and his ostrich riding Sniffits show up and try to stop the five from reaching the escape pipe. By trying to kill them via a long drop down a chasm.
Suddenly it’s a literal cliffhanger, everyone hanging into Mario. Mario manages to grab a precariously placed fire flower. What good is that while hanging off a small precipice? Didn’t you know? Fire Flowers now let you fly!
Seriously. Mario starts flapping his arms and flies the group to safety. Well… In before SMB3 and P-Wings. No it doesn’t make sense, but whatever, Fire Mario flies. This one time only?
Peach convinces the brothers to go back to Brooklyn. But when they see Peach & Toad captured by Bowser they decide to stay. Rushing to save them. Which they do easily.
Salvatori? Apparently his one time pipe trick worked, hence why the live action first star is visiting the brothers in Brooklyn. Ok. That’s fine. Anyway they return home at series end… As probably implied by all the live action skits every episode.
An ok episode highlighting how good princess Peach is, putting the brothers first. Also we briefly have another plumber from Brooklyn. Never seen again after this. Oh well…
Tomorrow is another tribute to Classic lit. This time it’s Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Homes. I’m The Adventures Of Sherlock Mario. Apparently a mystery is afoot. And this time the only powder Mario is addicted to is 100% pure mozzarella cheese. See you.
