Golden Plumber's Helper (Plummers Academy)

The Golden Plumber's Helper appeared in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Plumbers Academy / Glasnuts". It was given to Mario in a flashback sequence by Mr. President for saving him and Mikhail Gorbachev from a flooded street in Brooklyn.

Mario lost the Golden Plumber's Helper in a fight with King Koopa, as he managed to get it stuck on his nose in the process. When Mario and his friends were trapped at the bottom of a hole, Mario worried that he would never get the Golden Plunger back, and tells the story of how he earned it to Princess Toadstool and Toad.

After escaping from the hole, Mario and his friends manage to get the Golden Plumber's Helper off of Koopa's nose, and Mario happy once again.

Despite the Golden Plumber's Helper's importance to Mario, it was never seen in any other episode.
