Mario Ice Capades

Mario Ice Capades is a Mario Ice Capades special. It was seen on television on Thursday, December 7, 1989 on ABC. The show starts out by some people playing Super Mario Bros. while Jason Bateman, "Video Prince", tells the plot of the game to Alyssa Milano, who has never played any videogames. Suddenly the television screen starts to glitch and King Koopa (played by Christopher Hewett) appears on the screen. The rest of the show then takes place inside the game (the background of the stage has props with pixelated clouds, coins and castles).

King Koopa, while riding a moving fort, explains that a NES can be used to infect computers with viruses and that is just the thing he is going to do. Koopa then calls out two green Koopas, two Goombas, one Hammer Bro., one red Paratroopa and a Spiny. King Koopa then sings a song about his evilness, while riding his moving fort and the Koopa Troop dancing around him. Princess Peach calls Mario and Luigi (who somehow literally appear out of the sky) so they can help her. The princess helps the brothers by sneding kids from the audience, on carts while carrying plumber tools. One of the kids gives Luigi some type of weapon that shoots fire. Koopa sends out all his enemies, only to be defeated by the weapon. Koopa then goes to fight the brothers and the children, while riding on his fort, however the children surround Koopa and the children attack Koopa with the plumber tools. Koopa is then defeated and the children are returned to the audience.

Princess Toadstoll then congratulates the brothers and gives them the "Purple Plunger for Bravery". The show returns to the Earth where Alyssa says that she beat the game (thought it appears as if she didn't play it at all).

Trivia

 * King Koopa is only referred to as Bowser in the begining.
 * Notice there were a lot of mistakes, goofs and bloopers.
