Recap / The Adventures Of Super Mario Bros 3 Reptiles In The Rose Garden

Go To

It's Kootie Pie's birthday, and she wants...America! Since he can't say no to his Spoiled Brat daughter, King Koopa launches an invasion on the United States, banishing the White House to Dark Land. Can the Mario Bros. save the First family and save America?

This episode has examples of:

  • Badass in Distress: Before attacking America, King Koopa has the heroes captured so they can't interfere.
  • Birthday Episode: This episode takes place on Kootie Pie's sixteenth birthday, in which she desires the entire USA, unhappy with the gifts King Koopa got for her.
  • Grew a Spine: After kowtowing to Kootie Pie all episode, at the end King Koopa gets fed up and starts telling his daughter off.
    Mario: Well, sounds like Koopa's finally giving Kootie Pie the present she deserves!
  • Invisible President: Subverted. While the President and First Lady are not named (and only referred to as "Mrs./The President"), the First Lady is a striker for the late Barbara Bush, and, although seen only from the back, the President is clearly meant to represent George H.W. Bush.
  • Mythology Gag: To sneak aboard King Koopa's doomship, Mario and Luigi disguise themselves as Hammer Bros., a reference to the Hammer Suit power-up from the game the show is based on.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Again, "Mrs. President" looks an awful lot like Barbara Bush, wife of George H. W. Bush (Who was president at the time of the episode's airing).
