Appears in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! ("The Adventures of Sherlock Mario") (1989)

The Retro Router is a large, mechanical device that appeared in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "The Adventures of Sherlock Mario." Despite the name, the Retro Router is nothing like an actual router. During the episode, Professor Kooparity and the Koopa Pack steal the Retro Router it and attempt to use it to flood the city of Victoria with sewer water.

According to Herlock Solmes, the world's greatest detective, the Retro Router is a weapon, though who invented the Retro Router is left unexplained. Apparently, the Retro Router was created to flood areas by being connected to that area's sewer system, which allows the Retro Router to pump vast amounts of water up above. Before it is stolen and subsequently accidentally destroyed by Professor Kooparity, the Retro Router is kept in the Tower of Victoria in a small cell behind several metal bars.

Naming[edit]

"Retro Router" may be a reference to the American plumbing company Roto-Rooter.
