This segment is the ''[[Club Mario]]'' segment that aired alongside ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[The Great Gladiator Gig]]," replacing the original live-action segment "[[Bonkers From Yonkers]]."

==Plot synopsis==
The segment starts with a [[Anton, Nina, Yeah, Sabrina, and Robert|group of children]] sitting on the couch at [[Club Mario (location)|Club Mario]], introducing themselves to the viewer. One of the girls then begins reading a synopsis for ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[The Great Gladiator Gig]]," just as [[Tommy Treehugger]] and [[Co-MC]], both of which are dressed in stereotypical Roman tunics, arrive. Tommy asks the children for the roof passes, with Co-MC asking them how they managed to get onto their set. Tommy then asks where they came from and who they are accompanied with, with Co-MC asking for their names. The children each give their names to Tommy and Co-MC: the yellow-shirted introduces himself as Anton; the girl without a hairbow introduces herself as Nina; the younger white-shirted boy introduces himself as Yeah; the girl with a hairbow introduces herself as Sabrina, and the older white-shirted boy introduces himself as Robert.

Co-MC then declares that they are all "under arrest," though Tommy decides to ask them another question; he asks them if someone dropped them off at Club Mario, which the children reply that they do not know. Tommy then asks if they were little pellets that somebody watered, causing them to magically appear, which they reply in the affirmative. Tommy is surprised by this response, telling Co-MC that he did not know that one could create people by watering such pellets, which Co-MC responds that these days never cease to amaze them, which he notes that it rhymes.

Tommy suggests that there is a conspiracy among them, as Yeah and Robert are both dressed in the same outfit, Nina and Sabrina are dressed almost the same, and Anton is dressed in a different-colored shirt. Co-MC labels Anton as the brainchild of this "operation," with Tommy telling him to stand up. Co-MC then tells him to come up onto stage, with Tommy then telling the cameraman to zoom into his face to get his mugshot. Tommy then mentions that, up close, he could see deceit in Robert's eyes. Co-MC suggests to throw Anton on the barbecue, though Tommy counters, saying that they should carry him off the set, which Co-MC decides to do. He then orders the rest of the children to stand up before telling them to line up based on their size and height. He then tells them to point to their TV and say "''Let's satellite surf out of here,''" which they promptly do.

Later, Tommy and Co-MC mention that the [[Mario]] Bros. came through as per usual. Co-MC then suggests that might be wondering why they are dressed like stereotypical Romans, which he explains that they were going to do a gladiator gig (referencing the title of the featured ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' episode), though they were "taken hostage" by the children, with Tommy mentions that they are still at Club Mario, though he mentions that he has a plan to get rid of them. He and Co-MC then proceed to give several toys to the children, which they promptly take from them. Tommy then explains to the viewer that he and Co-MC will be going "satellite surfing," and that they will explain some more on how they will deal the children. Tommy and Co-MC then "satellite surf" to a channel discussing how the comic strip has stood the test of time. Later, Tommy and Co-MC are holding a Zube Tube and a reach extender and basketball respectively as the children try to reach the toys, with the former mentioning that, though they are tying to maintain order at Club Mario, they need to watch some previews for the next ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda (TV Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}'' {{iw|zeldawiki|Cold Spells|episode}}.

After ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda (TV Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}'' previews, Tommy and Co-MC are sitting, mentioning how relieved they feel after apparently having got rid of the children from their set. However, the children have hidden behind the couch, and pop out of their hiding places to surround them. However, Co-MC then mentions that he saw an ice cream truck, causing the children to promptly leave the set. He and Tommy then tell the viewer how hectic their day was on ''[[Club Mario]]'' today before saying goodbye to the viewer, with them saying that they hope to see them tomorrow, "where the airways are their ways."
