Super Mario Bros. Super Show Cartoon Episode 10 – Stars in Their Eyes
In the depths of space, Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool are all aboard a yellow spaceship, which is currently traveling through a swarm of flaming meteors. Maneuvering past several meteors in his attempt to escape enemy Space Troopas, minions of King Koopa, Mario fails to avoid one meteor, which strikes his spaceship.
As Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool are knocked into a bulkhead of the spaceship by the impact of the meteor, Mario, regaining control of his spaceship, turns on his navigation system. Glancing at his activated navigation screen, Mario tells Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool that they are approaching the planet Quirk; however, due to damage caused by the meteor striking his ship, Mario is forced to induce a crash landing on Quirk. As the spaceship begins to haphazardly approach Quirk, it steadily begins to break apart, losing fuel and its door; without a door on it, all the spaceship's supplies are sucked from it into the void of outer space. As Mario begins to bemoan the fate of his pasta, which had been sucked into space, his ship crashes into Quirk.
On Quirk, several Quirks, the planet's native inhabitants, are in the process of pulling barges full of pink rocks down an orange river. As two Quirks begin to slow down in their work, Mouser, who is in a spacesuit and named as "Astro Mouser", approaches them. Before the two Quirks can react, Astro Mouser suddenly throws a bomb at them and demands they work harder and faster.
After Astro Mouser reprimands these two Quirks, he suddenly notices a loud noise nearby. Looking upwards as his Quirk slaves begin to flee, Astro Mouser can only stand dumbstruck as Mario's fast approaching spaceship begins to plummet directly towards him; before Astro Mouser can react, Mario's spaceship crashes on top of him, burying Astro Mouser under it.
Emerging from the wreckage of Mario's now destroyed spaceship, Princess Toadstool, who is wearing an oxygen helmet, begins to float upwards, due to the lighter gravity of the planet Quirk. Before Princess Toadstool floats too far away, Toad manages to grab her, unfortunately, Toad also begins to float upwards as well. Both Toad and Princess Toadstool are eventually pulled to the ground by Mario and Luigi, who, also wearing similiar helmets, give Toad and Princess Toadstool several heavy metallic tools from a toolbox to help them stay on the ground. After successfully anchoring himself by putting a wrench in his overalls, Mario begins to say that he, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool need to somehow find spaceship fuel, supplies and food. Hearing Mario, two nearby Quirks, grateful to Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool for getting rid of Astro Mouser, say they can help them find what they need to survive.
Shortly after these two Quirks appear, Mario notices something sliding out from under the wreckage of his ship. Realizing that whatever is under his ship is a person, Mario offers the person his hand; unfortunately, this person is revealed to be an angry and Bob-Omb wielding Astro Mouser, who has been flattened. As Astro Mouser drags himself from under the Mario's spaceship, the two Quirks quickly tell Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool to follow them to their barge. As the flattened Astro Mouser begins to throw flattened Bob-Ombs at them, Mario, Luigi, Toad, Princess Toadstool and their Quirk guides flee from him and leap onto a nearby river barge filled with pink rocks.

Stars in Their Eyes
Alligator Dundee (Live Action Sketch)
In Mario Brothers Plumbing, Mario and Luigi are in the process of removing various objects from a nearby toilet. As Mario and Luigi continue to remove various items from the toilet, a nearby noise begins to be emitted from a nearby hole in the wall of the apartment. Noticing the noise, Mario and Luigi are surprised to see the Ratagator sticking its head into their apartment.
Approaching the Ratagator, Mario discerns from the noises it makes that something frightening has chased it to Mario Brothers Plumbing. Before the Ratagator can continue to "speak" to Mario, it suddenly withdraws into its sewer home, leaving Mario and Luigi somewhat perplexed.
As the Ratagator leaves, Mario and Luigi are surprised by a man named Alligator Dundee. After introducing himself, Alligator Dundee tells Mario and Luigi that he has been searching for a ferocious monster in the sewer beneath Mario Brothers Plumbing. As Alligator Dundee continues to tell an increasingly frightened Mario and Luigi that he has chased this "horrific monster" to Mario and Luigi's apartment and expects the creature to burst into the apartment at any moment.
Having apparently enlisted Mario and Luigi's aid in capturing the monster he is hunting, Alligator Dundee begins to show a net to Mario, as Luigi looks through a nearby periscope. Leaving the periscope, Luigi asks Alligator Dundee if he and Mario can do anything else to help him; Alligator Dundee, grateful for Mario and Luigi's help, tells the two that he will lure the creature out of the sewer and instructs Mario to throw the net over it and Luigi to tie the creature up with a rope; Alligator Dundee also tells Mario and Luigi that one wrong move and they will become "monster snacks".
Hearing this, Luigi asks Alligator Dundee if he is crazy to have created such a dangerous plan. Rebuffing Luigi's question, Alligator Dundee begins to prepare the net, when Luigi asks him what the monster they are hunting looks like. Hearing Luigi, Alligator Dundee takes out a picture of the monster, which is revealed to be the Ratagator and a man whose face is obscured. Seeing the picture, Mario asks what the Ratagator is doing with "that bloodthirsty beast"; Alligator Dundee, seeming to believe Mario is referring to the faceless man, say he has no idea.
