At the start of the episode, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] run through the wild [[Wild West]] in a chariot pulled by [[Ostro]]s while being chased by several [[Snifit]]s and [[Bowser|Klaimjump Koopa]]. They grab [[Piranha Plant]]s and aim them at Mario and his friends' chariot, but Mario instead grabs a [[Cobrat]] and uses it to attack Klaimjump Koopa. After that, Klaimjump Koopa shoots a [[fireball]] to destroy the ropes that are used to control the Ostros. This causes the Ostros to flee, and Mario and his friends later slide down a cliff. They later escape from their chariot. Klaimjump Koopa notices them at the bottom of the cliff, and goes after them.

[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] run through the wild [[Wild West]] in a chariot pulled by [[Ostro]]s, while they are being chased by several [[Snifit]]s and [[Bowser|King Koopa]] riding on some other Ostros. King Koopa grabs a [[Piranha Plant]] from his pocket and aims it at the Mario Bros.' chariot, and the Snifits do the same thing. Mario goes to the back of the chariot, grabs a [[Cobrat]] and uses it to fire back at the Koopa pack. A Snifit gets on the chariot to tackle Mario, but just to be beaten up and defeated by the plumber. King Koopa shoots a fireball at the ropes that Luigi is using to control the Ostros. As the abandoning Ostros flee away, the Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool go in a different direction, heading to a cliff. Trying to brake, the Mario Bros. destroy the wheels, and slide down the cliff until they hit a stone. The heroes fly out of their destroyed chariot and the ground breaks their fall.


King Koopa notices them at the bottom of the cliff, and goes after them. Toad spots a giant Warp Pipe leading somewhere, as the gang runs into it. Bowser tosses a [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]] into the pipe, destroying the entrance and blocking it with wreckage. In the dark, Princess Toadstool accidentally stepped on Luigi's toe and apologized for that. Just then, Mario sees a light thinking it is an exit, but discovers a big room filled with [[coin]]s. Princess Toadstool says that it is the Lost Gold Coin Mine. While [[Toad]] is stuffing his pockets with some gold coins, Luigi is worried about getting out of the mine, and Mario says that they can dig a way out with shovels.
Toad then spots a giant [[Warp Pipe]] leading to an unknown area, and he, Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool decide to enter it. Klaimjump Koopa then tosses a [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]] to destroy the entrance of the pipe. In the area under the pipe, Mario discovers a room filled with [[coin]]s, and Princess Toadstool says it is the Lost Gold Coin Mine. Luigi is worried about getting out of the mine, though Mario says that they can dig a way out with shovels.


[[File:ToadSlave.jpg|thumb|right|Toad gets captured by Klaimjump Koopa.]]
After digging out of the gold mine, they reach a town. The gang reaches a seemingly empty town. An elder then appears and introduces himself as [[Calamity Clam]] and reveals that the town is called [[Lonesome Mushroom]]. They later reach the assay office, where Toad puts all of his coins from the mine on the desk and calls for the assayer. The assayer turns out to also be Calamity Clam, and Toad asks him to tell them if the coins are real. He says that the coins are real, and yells out to miners outside as they look through the window. Klaimjump Koopa heard the noise and prepared to approach Lonesome Mushroom.
As the Mario brothers sing along while digging, they are almost at the surface, the Princess asks if they are  sure to find out where they are heading. The gang reaches a seemingly empty town, and then are scared by an elder who introduces himself as [[Calamity Clam]]. Toad asks him where they are. He says that the town is called [[Lonesome Mushroom]]. Calamity Clam says that it is a "little ghost town". Toad asks for an assay, and Calamity Clam takes them to it. In the assay office, Toad puts all of his coins on the desk and calls for the assayer. The assayer appears to Calamity Clam, much to the foursome's surprise, Luigi ask why, Calamity responds he owns a hat store. Toad asks him to tell them if the coins are real. He says that the coins are real, and yells out to miners outside as they look through the window. The surprised Calamity Clam told the foursome that created a "genuine gold coin rush". King Koopa spotted and heard all this on a cliff and prepared his Snifits to approach Lonesome Mushroom.


Back in the western town, more miners came and kept up digging for the gold and the ghost town is becoming a boomtown. Toad is not happy about this rush and claims that it's all his fault. But Calamity doesn't mind this at all because "Claim Jump Koopa could be here". But he stands corrected as Koopa lassoed Toad. Koopa prepared his pack to invade. As the miners attempted to flee from the invasion, the Snifits lassoed them. Calamity decides that Luigi, Mario, and Princess Toadstool to "head for the hills" for safety if they get captured too. The Snifit informs Koopa that the princess, the plumbers, and sheriff are running away. Koopa responds to forget them and pursues the coins. The townsfolk and Toad are being turned into slaves because they're spending the rest of their lives digging for gold.

Sometime later, the gang get back to the now empty town and find out that Koopa, his troops, the townsfolk, and Toad are all gone. As Toadstool asks where they all go, a little earthquake shook the four and fell down and they discovered that they're in the mine.

Toad, in the mine, starts fighting with King Koopa after he throws a Bob-Omb at him, but fails and ends up running away from it. He threw more Bob-Ombs to get his captives to work faster. The Mario brothers and their friends notice the slaves, and Mario says he wants to get [[Fire Flower]]s. Calamity Clam says he knows a place with lots of them. As they walk through this corridor, Princess Toadstool asks if Clam is sure this is the way to mine. Calamity assures her that they have to get past the boiling Tomato Sauce mine. Mario sticks finger in the tomato sauce and he likes and mentions spaghetti. Calamity Clam takes him to the Pasta mine for lunch, much to Mario's amusement. But before he could do that, Princess Toadstool grabs his hand and tells him there's no time and makes it to the Fire Flower Mine. Mario is so hungry and tries to give them all a lunch break, but the princess insistently ordered Mario to get his power to save the day now. Mario and Luigi touch two flowers and become Super Mario and Super Luigi and they are ready for action.

Back in the town, many miners came to dig for gold. Toad is unhappy about this gold rush and claims that it is his fault, but he later gets suddenly captured by Klaimjump Koopa, who invades the town and captures the miners. Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool escape from the town while the townsfolk and Toad are being forced to dig for gold. Sometime later, they return to learn that the Klaimjump Koopa, the townsfolk, and Toad are in the gold mine. Meanwhile, Toad starts fighting with Klaimjump Koopa in the mine, but he fails. Mario wants to obtain [[Fire Flower]]s to save the townsfolk, and Calamity Clam reveals that they have to get past the tomato sauce mine to reach the Fire Flower mine. Calamity Clam wanted to take Mario to the pasta mine for lunch, but Princess Toadstool forces him to go to the Fire Flower mine. When they arrive at the mine, Mario and Luigi touch two Fire Flowers and become Super Mario and Super Luigi.


Meanwhile, Toad brings in the last of the coins. King Koopa orders more gold, but the Toads are very tired, which makes him angry. The Mario Bros. punch through a wall near there and frighten the Snifits with shooting [[Fireball]]s. When all the Snifits are gone, Bowser captures the Princess, and leaves riding a mine cart. The plumbers and Toad ride another minecart, to chase after him.
Later, the Mario Bros. punch through a wall near the gold mine and frightens the Snifits with fireballs, but Klaimjump Koopa captures Princess Toadstool in the meantime and leaves, riding a mine cart. Mario, Luigi and Toad then ride on another minecart to save her. During the chase, they pass through tunnels, and the Mario Bros. begin to lose their powers. They soon pull Princess Toadstool into their cart when reaching the tomato sauce mine. Klaimjump Koopa crashes through a green wooden gate, and he instead goes through the right path while the brothers go to the left one, passing him. Both carts later collide, and Klaimjump Koopa is launched towards a [[cactus]], hurting him. In the end, Mario and his friends celebrate Klaimjump Koopa's defeat back in the town.


They all go down tunnels and twisty trails down and even get past a loop-de-loop. As Mario touches King Koopa, he loses his Fire Flower power and starts to fall off. But Toad and Luigi begin to save him. After that, Luigi loses his power too, a little before the mine carts sink into the tomato sauce lake. Soon, they pull Princess Toadstool into their cart. Bowser crashes through a green wooden gate, getting out of the mine. The trails split into two and the princess comes up with an idea to get in front of Koopa and "stop him the hard way". King Koopa goes to the right path, and the brothers go to the left one, passing him. Koopa wants the foursome to stop and Mario agrees. He pulled the brake, and the foursome jumped off of it. Both carts collide and Bowser is launched towards a cactus, hurting him and the cactus catapults Koopa in the air. In the end, the heroes start to celebrate Claim Jump Koopa's defeat and laugh.

"The Great Gold Coin Rush" is the thirty-eighth episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Its corresponding live-action segment is "Game Show Host."

Plot

At the start of the episode, Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad run through the wild Wild West in a chariot pulled by Ostros while being chased by several Snifits and Klaimjump Koopa. They grab Piranha Plants and aim them at Mario and his friends' chariot, but Mario instead grabs a Cobrat and uses it to attack Klaimjump Koopa. After that, Klaimjump Koopa shoots a fireball to destroy the ropes that are used to control the Ostros. This causes the Ostros to flee, and Mario and his friends later slide down a cliff. They later escape from their chariot. Klaimjump Koopa notices them at the bottom of the cliff, and goes after them.

Toad then spots a giant Warp Pipe leading to an unknown area, and he, Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool decide to enter it. Klaimjump Koopa then tosses a Bob-Omb to destroy the entrance of the pipe. In the area under the pipe, Mario discovers a room filled with coins, and Princess Toadstool says it is the Lost Gold Coin Mine. Luigi is worried about getting out of the mine, though Mario says that they can dig a way out with shovels.

After digging out of the gold mine, they reach a town. The gang reaches a seemingly empty town. An elder then appears and introduces himself as Calamity Clam and reveals that the town is called Lonesome Mushroom. They later reach the assay office, where Toad puts all of his coins from the mine on the desk and calls for the assayer. The assayer turns out to also be Calamity Clam, and Toad asks him to tell them if the coins are real. He says that the coins are real, and yells out to miners outside as they look through the window. Klaimjump Koopa heard the noise and prepared to approach Lonesome Mushroom.
