Super Show!]]'' Its corresponding animated episode is "[[zeldawiki:Underworld Connections|Underworld Connections]]" from ''[[The Legend of Zelda (television series)|The Legend of Zelda]]''. This segment is notable for being the first time [[Inspector Gadget]] appears in live-action, predating the {{wp|Inspector Gadget (film)|1999 live-action film}} starring {{wp|Matthew Broderick}} by ten years. It also predates the release of ''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]'' by one year and is therefore the first instance of the brothers being doctors. | ||

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 is expecting anybody, only for Mario to say that he hopes that it is not "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 proceeds to wash his hands by soaking them in a bucket full of water, splashing water all over the place as he does so. Mario then dips a rubber glove into the water and pulls it out. As water trickles down from the glove, Luigi implies that they should not waste it, so he grabs the glove and rushes it over to the tub garden, allowing the excess water to drip into it. Reaching into the bucket again, Mario pulls out [[Kenneth]], [[Mrs. Periwinkle]]'s dead goldfish, and tosses him aside. Luigi returns with Mario's glove, proceeds to put on his own pair, and asks Mario if everything is ready. Luigi asks Mario what the most important thing is, to which Mario answers with "cleanliness," only for Luigi to sneeze into his gloves, which he wipes off on Mario's scrubs. | Luigi proceeds to wash his hands by soaking them in a bucket full of water, splashing water all over the place as he does so.

Luigi comments that he feels like {{wp|Leonardo da Vinci}}, but when Mario asks Inspector Gadget how he feels, Gadget, who is now just a mess of body parts, is unable to answer due to his voice being all muffled by his own arm. Luigi moves the arm, only for Inspector Gadget to ask the two of them how long they have been working for the evil {{wp|Doctor Claw|Dr. Claw}}. | ||
Afterwards, Mario and Luigi have properly repaired Inspector Gadget using some spare parts that Luigi picked up.

Mario and Luigi then hook Inspector Gadget up to a machine to give him a bench check, to which Luigi comments that his RPM is up 3000, his oil is clean, and that he will need to return for a left foot alignment at roughly 3000 miles. Mario presents Inspector Gadget with his 30-day parts and labor warranty and tells him not to run over any nails. Inspector Gadget prepares to write a check out to Mario and Luigi, only to ask where Luigi got the spare parts, and Luigi answers that he got the parts at a novelty store. When Inspector Gadget stands up, his hands droop down from his arms on springs, much to his dismay. Inspector Gadget grudgingly thanks the Mario Bros. for their help and heads outside before they can do anything else. | ||
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.
