Raiders of the Lost Mushroom

Raiders of the Lost Mushroom is the forty-ninth episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Its corresponding live-action segment is "Cyrano de Mario".

Plot Synopsis
The episode starts with Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad visiting Jungle Land to search for a mystical treasure, the "Lost Mushroom". Legend has it that the Lost Mushroom will grant the wishes of whoever has possession of it. Sundelly, the Marios' hot air balloon is torn apart by an attacking Albatoss, and they land in a puddle of quicksand. Just before they sink, they are rescued by a strange treasure hunter named Indiana Joe, who promises to show them the way to the Lost Mushroom.

Meanwhile, Kolonel von Koop has been watching them, along with his Koopa Pack, consisting of Mouser, a Koopa Troopa and Tryclyde. Kolonel von Koopa explains that the Lost Mushroom was left to him by his great-great-grandkoop, and that he's gonna let the Marios find the statue for him. Then, when the timing is right, he'll take it. In the meantime, Mario and the gang have followed Indiana to a strange temple in the shape of a Koopa's head. He tells them he has Koopaphobia (fear of Koopas) and that they'll have to find the statue on their own.

They enter the temple, and the entrance closes up behind them. They are chased by Fry Guy, and barely make it past a Cobrat. The Fry Guy chases them into a mysterious room. The Marios close off the entrance and are safe from the Fry Guy. Inside the room, they find the Lost Mushroom. Mario uses it to wish themselves out of the temple, where Koopa is waiting. He takes the statue and locks our heroes up in a treehouse, where they fight a Shy Guy Lion. Mario uses a whip to tame the lion, who sets them free. They then go to where Indiana Joe lives. They help him overcome his Koopaphobia, and he agrees to help them fight Kolonel von Koop.

They have a battle with the Kolonel and his gang, and they whip him good! Unfortunately, Koopa escapes into a warp zone. But for now, the Lost Mushroom is in good hands!
