[[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] later gets Luigi, [[Mario]], and [[Toad]] to help her get the Doom Dancer, which makes anyone who hears it dance fast or slow according to how fast it is cranked. Mario proposes that the Doom Dancer can keep the [[Koopa Troop|Koopa Clan]] under control. The group then sets out to get it in [[Dark Land]]'s [[Temple of Gloom]]. When they arrive, a [[Dry Bones]] hears their plans and goes to tell [[Bowser|King Koopa]] at [[Bowser's Castle|Kastle Koopa]]. After telling him a few times (King Koopa has a cold), King Koopa sends [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy Koopa]], [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Big Mouth Koopa Jr.]], and [[Roy Koopa|Bully Koopa]] to get the Doom Dancer before the Mario Bros. do. | ||
Mario and Co. face a problem getting over a wide gap. Toad suggests that Mario break some [[? Block|block]]s to get some [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]], which Mario does. Turning into their [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon forms]], the group flies over the wide gap. They run through a field of giant spikes popping down from the cave ceiling. After getting through the spike field, two [[Bowser Statue|Koopa statue]]s turn them all back into their normal forms. | Mario and Co. face a problem getting over a wide gap.

After traversing through a hallway, the group sees the Temple of Gloom, which is guarded by a group of Dry Bones. The group stomps on all the Dry Bones, but they just reform and get back up.

* | *This episode breaks the [[fourth wall]] twice. Once when Mario and co. are at the large gap, Luigi screams, "Stop the music!" and the background music stops. A second time when Toad suggests breaking blocks to get Super Leaves, Mario says, "Start the music!" and the background music plays again. | ||
* | *On DVD, this episode runs slower, and thus longer, than the other episodes. It is unknown why this happens. | ||
* | *Princess Toadstool references ''Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'' when she says that the Doom Dancer Music Box is hidden in Dark Land's Temple of Gloom. | ||
*The pencil-like obstacles in | *Toad only has two lines in this episode. His only lines were "Whoa! Try blasting those blocks, Mario!" and "Yeah, but we got the crank!" | ||
*The pencil-like obstacles in Dark Land, which do not appear in-game, predates the [[Spike (Super Mario World)|Spike]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', obstacles with a very similar function and appearance, only lacking the tip. | |||
