Plumber's Log

From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search

The Plumber's Log is an unseen logbook of Mario's that he uses to record his adventures throughout the animated segments of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. The log is a reference to Star Trek's Captain's Log. At the beginning of every episode, Mario quotes (in a voiceover) a brief entry from his Plumber's Log, usually explaining where he and his friends have traveled, why they are there, and what they are about to encounter. Each Plumber's Log has its own numbered entry, although there does not appear to be any plausible or chronological order to them in regards to the order of the episodes.

The Plumber's Log is also mentioned at the end of the live-action segment "Caught in a Draft", where Mario and Luigi speak in code to inform themselves that Sgt. Slaughter is gone.

Entries[edit]

Note: Each Plumber's Log entry is written the way Mario pronounces it. For instance, the Plumber's Log for the first episode is written as "1-0-1", because Mario reads it as "one-zero-one", as opposed to "one-hundred-one". However, there are a few entry numbers that this rule does not apply to, usually because the number has an actual meaning (for example, the number is a year).
