Crime Wave Clyde
Crimewave Clyde.

Crimewave Clyde is a large, muscular, and agressive prisoner from the Real World who had been sentenced to jail for 12,423 years with no parole due to his extensive criminal record.

In The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Crimes R Us", Bowser and his Koopalings had travelled to Clyde's prison on the Doomship, where Bully Koopa abducted him. Under the request of Bowser, Clyde agreed to teach the Koopalings everything that he knew about crime, so that they could grow up to be hardcore criminals. Bowser also told Clyde that he could keep half of whatever was stolen in exchange, but he crossed his fingers behind his back when he said so.

Clyde's first lesson to the Koopalings was bank robbery. After they received a crash course from Clyde, the Koopalings raided the First Mushroom Bank, but were foiled by Mario and Luigi in the process, although they did manage to escape.

Realizing that the Koopalings failed lesson one, Clyde made some adjustments to his lesson plan, making sure that getting rid of the Mario Bros. was lesson two. The first step in this lesson was to have Cheatsy steal the lunch money from a Mushroom boy in Desert Land, who's cry for help travelled through a Warp Pipe and alerted the Mario Bros. The boy directed Mario and Luigi to a pipe, which trapped them in an underground maze where Clyde and Big Mouth locked them in with a Boom Boom.

Afterwards, claiming that he had taught the Koopalings everything he knew about crime, Clyde let them run amuck in the Mushroom Kingdom, where they stole whatever they chose to steal. However, Clyde was pushed too far when the Koopalings not only started stealing from each other, but his own pockets as well.

When Bowser proposed to have his Koopalings steal one billion Gold Coins from the Mushroom Kingdom Treasury, Clyde only agreed to help, just because half of the loot would be enough to relieve him from all the stress the Koopas were causing him. To Clyde's surprise, the Koopalings doublecrossed him, and handcuffed a Bob-omb to his ankle, although he managed to extuingish the fuse before it blew up. Fed up with the Koopalings, Clyde knew he needed help.

Clyde broke into the maze that Mario and Luigi were trapped in, and begged them to get him back to the Real World. After offering to help them stop the Koopalings from robbing the Mushroom Kingdom Treasury, the Mario Bros. reluctantly agreed.

After the Koopalings invaded the Mushroom Kingdom Treasury and began packing up the loot, they were surprised to see Clyde with Mario and Luigi waiting for them behind a vaulted door. Before the Koopalings could react, Clyde and the Marios tied them up, and sent them up into the Doomship, along with a Bob-omb. After the Doomship had been partially blown away, the Koopas retreated, and Clyde felt proud of his actions.

However, as Clyde was still a prisoner in the Real World, Mario and Luigi were obliged to return him to his jail cell. Clyde notes that he doesn't mind his 12,423-year prison sentence with no parole compared to spending one more day with the Koopas.
