"'''Mario and Joliet'''" is the twenty-third episode of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]''. | "'''Mario and Joliet'''" is the twenty-third episode of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]''. This episode is a parody of the tragic play ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}'' by {{wp|William Shakespeare}}; the episode's [[List of implied items#Plumber's Log|Plumber's Log]], 1601, also references the year William Shakespeare wrote another one of his plays, ''{{wp|Hamlet}}''. Additionally, the title and ending of this episode are unique, resembling an advertisement of sorts for a play; this is the only episode with this distinction. Its corresponding live-action segment is "[[Captain Lou Is Missing]]" in original airings and "[[Fake Bro]]" in later airings and home media/streaming releases. | ||

In the dungeon tower of King Koopa's castle, Joliet begins to wonder and ask where Romano is, only to get the response from King Koopa that he is right there; after saying this, King Koopa has [[Grunt (character)|Grunt]], his [[Super Troopa]] assistant, throw Mario, Luigi, Toad, Princess Toadstool and Romano into the tower dungeon with Joliet. After they are thrown into the tower dungeon, King Koopa and Grunt, the latter of whom has been charged with guarding Mario, Luigi, Toad, the Princess, Romano and Joliet, leave. As Romano and Joliet kiss, the Mario Brothers watch as Grunt lifts a set of heavy weights and begin to wonder how they will escape him. Hearing the brothers' concerns about how they will get past Grunt, Toad gets an idea and has Mario lift him to the barred window of the dungeon tower's door. Peering through the window, Toad begins to taunt Grunt, saying that he does not look too strong. As Grunt continues to lift a set of weights, Toad ridicules him, saying he has seen a [[Koopa Troopa]] lift twice as much as Grunt. Lifting two sets of weights, Grunt is tricked into lifting a third weight with his mouth by Princess Toadstool; as Grunt struggles to hold the weights in his hands and the one in his mouth, the floor beneath him begins to crack and eventually collapses under the combined weight of him and the heavy weights he is holding. With Grunt having fallen through the hole he made in the floor, Mario tells Toad his idea was great, but goes on to say that Grunt was the one who had the key to the door they are stuck behind. | In the dungeon tower of King Koopa's castle, Joliet begins to wonder and ask where Romano is, only to get the response from King Koopa that he is right there; after saying this, King Koopa has [[Grunt (character)|Grunt]], his [[Super Troopa]] assistant, throw Mario, Luigi, Toad, Princess Toadstool and Romano into the tower dungeon with Joliet.
