'''Mark Twang''' is an elderly man who seemingly inhabits the [[River World]], whose rivers he voyages down in his ship, the [[Ding Bell]] | |||
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[Rolling Down the River]]", Mark Twang apparently agrees to a race with [[Bowser|Captain Koopa]] and his [[Sinister Star]], with whoever winning the race becoming King of the River and presumably, the River World. Unfortunately, the engine of the Ding Bell is sabotaged by Captain Koopa, severally limiting the speed which Mark Twang can travel at on the Ding Bell. | In ''[[The Super Mario Bros.

While feebly trying to catch up to Captain Koopa and the Sinister Star, Mark Twang happens too, by chance, find [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] in the river. With a lasso, Mark Twang manages to pull Mario and Luigi aboard the Ding Bell, narrowly saving them from being devoured by a [[Trouter]]. Mark Twang is then told by Mario and Luigi that they are trying to rescue [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], who has been kidnapped by Captain Koopa and is being held onboard the Sinister Star. | While feebly trying to catch-up to Captain Koopa and the Sinister Star, Mark Twang happens too, by chance, find [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] in the river.

In the end, the Sinister Star is crashed into a beach and Mario and Luigi, along with Princess Toadstool and [[Toad]], board the Ding Bell, which passes the finish line of the river.
