Submarine captain

The Submarine Captain is a Parisian captain who appears in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Super Koopa".

Mario and Luigi run into the captain by accident, because the police helicopter they were riding in was knocked down by Raccoon Koopa into the Seine. The captan's submarine surfaces for the helicopter to land on, and the captain is hastily introduced to Mario and Luigi.

The captain tries to get away himself, Mario and Luigi away from Raccoon Koopa by submerging the submarine, but Bowser becomes Frog Bowser in order to swim after them. Frog Bowser succeeds in kicking the submarine ashore, and apprehends Mario, Luigi and the captain by throwing them in the Bastille.

Until Toad comes to the rescue, the captain waits around in the group's jail cell while Luigi (unsuccessfully) tries to dig a way out. When Toad arrives, he sneaks in a Super Leaf in a birthday cake, which Mario uses to break out of the cell. Mario and Luigi then fly off, and the captain salutes them.
