Red Sauce Sea

The Red Sauce Sea is a giant sea from the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "The Ten Koopmandments". 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 were being chased by Koop Tut and his Koopa Pack, when they came to this sea. Mario and his pals couldn't swim across the sea, so Mario used Koopa's magic stick to make a path through the lake; Mario then closed the path when King Koopa came.

Trivia

 * This episode is a reference to the Biblical story of Moses, who called on Yahweh (God) 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 didn't drown.
