At [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]], [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are in the middle of fixing up a bizarre-looking contraption made of springs, when Luigi tells Mario to get the door. As Mario walks towards the door, he hears the doorbell ring and ponders on how Luigi even knew that someone was there. Luigi asks Mario if he's expecting anybody, only for Mario to say that he hopes that it isn't "that magazine guy". | At [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]], [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are in the middle of fixing up a bizarre-looking contraption made of springs, when Luigi tells Mario to get the door.

Luigi asks Mario if he should tell Inspector Gadget about any of the other changes that they made, just as Gadget steps outside. While trying out one of his gadgets, Inspector Gadget accidentally activates his rocket shoes, goes flying past the basement window shouting "WOWZERS!", and crashes. To Luigi's question, Mario answers "I don't think so". Mario and Luigi then laugh, and start to giggle about Inspector Gadget's rocket shoes. | Luigi asks Mario if he should tell Inspector Gadget about any of the other changes that they made, just as Gadget steps outside.
