"'''The Trojan Koopa'''" is the thirty-sixth episode of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' Its corresponding live-action segment is "[[Texas Tea]]." This episode is notable for being the only episode in any ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' cartoon where [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] uses a [[List of power-ups|power-up]]. It is also notable for being the only episode where [[Hammer Bro|Hammer Brothers]] have a speaking role.

[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Toad]], who are riding in their bathtub in the ocean at stormy weather, are on a mission to rescue [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], who has been kidnapped once again by [[Bowser|King Koopa]], who is holding her hostage in an island fortress in the island of [[Koopos]] with a ball and chain to her ankle. When Toad spots the island, claiming it is "dead ahead". Luigi asks if he had to say "dead," but Mario reassures him saying that things are going smoothly.

When Mario, Luigi, and Toad get swept into Koopos later that morning, they get up with the bathtub on their heads and stroll their way into King Koopa's fortress. At the fort, King Koopa and two [[Hammer Bro|Hammer Brothers]] are at the battlements, where they spy on the Marios heading to his fortress. Because of the bathtub on their heads, one of the Hammer Brother points out that the Marios might be a six-legged bathtub. King Koopa takes the spyglass from him and find out it is Mario, Luigi, and Toad, who throw the bathtub off their heads. Princess Toadstool tells King Koopa that the Marios are going to rescue her, but King Koopa objects her stating that his fortress is "plumber-proof" and will be stuck there for all eternity. King Koopa then tells Princess Toadstool that his Hammer Brothers are going to patrol her in order to keep the Marios away from her.

When Mario, Luigi, and Toad reach King Koopa's fortress, they find the Hammer Brothers taunting them from on top of the fort. Hammer Brothers throw their hammers at Mario, Luigi and Toad, which causes them to retreat and bounce into the other side of the bushes. Luigi laments that they will never get past King Koopa's fortress at this rate. Mario tells Luigi that he has a plan.

Mario's plan is that Luigi and Toad tie a pair of plungers to Mario's legs so he can climb on the fort wall and on top where he could retrieve the Princess. The plan backfires however, as the Hammer Brothers knock the brick that Mario is on off the fort, causing him to plummet into the ground, with parts of the brick are still in his plungers when he gets out of where he fell.

Back at the battlements, King Koopa tells Princess Toadstool that she will never free her kingdom. Princess Toadstool disagrees to King Koopa's statement, stating that they would never throw in the towel. Koopa then tells Princess Toadstool that this is the reason why he has made "a little plumbing party" as he turns to the Hammer Brothers, who laugh gloatingly in response.

Meanwhile, Mario, Luigi and Toad were sitting at an unlit campfire, where they bemoan their botched plans. When Toad talks about his plan and how he could have gotten away with it, Mario tells him doubtfully that they are in trouble. Suddenly, the Hammer Brothers appear from under the bushes, who were ready to destroy the Marios. When Mario and Luigi do their patty-cake routine, Mario proceeds to make the Hammer Brothers hit each other on the head, dropping them unconscious. Mario has a plan to use the Hammer Brothers to trick King Koopa into thinking he and the gang have finally given up.
