Plot synopsis

Mario and Toad are waiting to ride the Windows 95, which they believe to be a vehicle.
Part 2
In this broadcast, Mario is seen riding the Windows 95 as Toad asks to have a turn to ride it. They then have an argument over who should be first to ride the Windows 95 as Bill Gates makes an entrance. Toad says that Bill Gates is a "beer company poster girl" (a pun on the very similar writing of "beer" and "bill" in Japanese writing), but Gates informs Toad that he is wrong. Mario then recognizes the man to be Bill Gates, to which he responds that he is the richest man in the world. and he and Toad ask him for money. Bill Gates stares at them blankly, but then informs them that the Windows 95 is not a vehicle, but something to wear on one's head. Mario and Toad insult him, telling him that he is an idiot.
