The Red Sauce Sea is a giant sea located in Pyramid Land in the episode "The Ten Koopmandments" on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Though the sea appears to be filled with lava, it is actually filled with red tomato sauce. Mario, Luigi, Toad, Princess Toadstool, and the Mushroom People are being chased by Koop Tut and his Koopa Pack when they come to this sea. Mario and his friends cannot swim across the sea, so Mario uses Koopa's magic staff to make a path through the sea; Mario then closes the path when Koopa comes.

Notes[edit]

  • This episode is a reference to the Biblical story of Moses, who called on Yahweh to provide a safe path for the ancient Israelites through the sea. The path was closed when the Pharaoh and his Egyptian soldiers arrived, causing them to drown; however, in this episode, Koopa and his Koopa Pack do not drown.
