"'''Opera'''" is the fifty-ninth live-action segment of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' Its corresponding animated episode is "[[Flatbush Koopa]]." This episode is notable for being one of the four live-action segments where the guest star does not appear when telling the viewer to "Do the Mario!", the others being "[[Magic's Magic]]," "[[Do You Believe In Magic?]]," and "[[The Ghoul of my Dreams]]." It is also the only live-action segment where the guest star never makes an on-screen appearance.

At some point, Mario and Luigi put on earmuffs to shield themselves from Mrs. Gammliss' singing. Luigi then attempts to unclog a toilet by removing a plumber's slinky that had gotten stuck in the tank, but assures Mario that he is not quite finished. Reaching into the tank again, Luigi pulls out a dead fish, and laughs about how some people wonder why their toilets will not work after flushing bizarre objects.

Mrs. Gammliss' voice comes barreling down the garbage chute yet again, much to the displeasure of Mario, Luigi and the [[Ratagator]]. Fed up with Mrs. Gammliss' singing, Mario calls up to her through the garbage chute. Mrs. Gammliss then responds to Mario by singing, and he tells her to sing quieter, as he and Luigi cannot stand it. She apologizes, but goes on to explain that she needs to practice her singing, and accidentally shatters a glass that Luigi had been holding in the process. For breaking his glass, Luigi tells Mario to pick up some paper cups, and vows to kill Mrs. Gammliss.

Mario then comes up with an idea, and explains that if it does not work, they will have to move. Luigi asks if [[Australia]] is far enough, just as Mrs. Gammliss starts singing again. Singing in an operatic voice, Mario tells Mrs. Gamliss to stop practicing, explaining that their brains have turned to oatmeal, and that their ears are ringing. Mrs. Gammliss acknowledges Mario's qualms, and retorts that he will get shot in his leg. Mario and Luigi then decide to sing several high notes up to Mrs. Gammliss, which results in a crash coming from her apartment.

Speaking in a normal tone of voice, Mrs. Gammliss begs Mario and Luigi to stop, as their singing is destroying her apartment. They tell Mrs. Gammliss that they will stop singing if she agrees to stop as well, and manage to reach an agreement. Stepping away from the garbage chute, Mario and Luigi take a bow at each other, then have a good laugh about how they consider their own singing to be the kind of opera they would enjoy, and that [[Mama Mario|Mama]] would be proud.

==Dub edits==

*In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] initially believe [[Mrs. Gammliss]]'s voice to be that of a brooding hen instead of a cat fight.

*In the Latin American Spanish dub, instead asking if [[Australia]] is far enough from Mrs. Gammliss in response to Mario's comment about moving, Luigi instead asks if Mario believes everything will fall there, referring to Australia's location in relation to [[Flatbush]].
