==Plot Synopsis==
This episode is notable for being the only episode where a [[Porcupo]] and a [[Spark]] appear. It is also notable for being the only episode of the show where [[Toad]] does not appear, making [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] the only characters to appear in every episode of the show.
One night in the streets of [[Spy Land]], Secret Agent [[James Blonde]] is searching for [[Bowser|Koopfinger]], as he had just uncovered Koopfinger's latest plot. However, when James Blonde runs into Koopfinger, Koopfinger points a magic ring at the secret agent, turning him to stone.


The next day, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are sitting down to lunch at an Italian restaurant. Before Mario can thank Princess Toadstool for taking them out to eat, she pulls a hidden lever, sending their entire table down a shaft. As they descend, Princess Toadstool explains that they're going to [[Super Spy Headquarters]] because James Blonde has been turned to stone, and the brothers are needed to save him.

[[File:JamesBlonde.jpg|thumb|left|James Blond]]
One night in the streets of [[Spy Land]], [[James Blond]] is searching for [[Bowser|Koopfinger]], as he had just uncovered Koopfinger's latest plot. However, when James Blond runs into Koopfinger, Koopfinger points a magic ring at the secret agent, turning him to stone.


At the bottom of the shaft, the trio ends up in an underground complex, where they are greeted by [[Secret Agent N]]. Agent N shows Mario and Luigi to their new [[Spymobile]], which Luigi comments looks like an old plumber's truck. But Agent N tells him that it packs more firepower than a battleship. Agent N then shows Mario and Luigi their new equipment, including a wrench phone, an exclusive drain cleaner, an atomic screwdriver, and, as Mario finds out, a laser drill.
The next day, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are sitting down to lunch at an Italian restaurant. Before Mario can thank Princess Toadstool for taking them out to eat, she pulls a hidden lever, sending their entire table down a shaft. As they descend, Princess Toadstool explains that they are going to [[Super Spy Headquarters]] because James Blond has been turned to stone, and the brothers are needed to save him.


At that moment an alarm goes off, prompting Agent N to bring up a monitor. Upon doing so, [[Fort Hard Knox]] is shown, which Agent N comments is where all of Spy Land's [[Coin|Gold Coins]] are kept. The monitor then shows Koopfinger driving towards the treasury in a limo along with his goons [[Mouser (The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!)|Mouser]], [[Tryclyde]] and a [[Koopa Troopa]] (who are all buff). Despite Luigi's cowardice, he and Mario head out to stop Koopfinger.

Meanwhile, Koopfinger's group arrives at the entrance to Fort Hard Knox, which Koopfinger blasts open with a [[Bob-omb]]. With no one around to stop them, the gang proceeds with stealing all the Gold Coins.

Mario and Luigi reach Fort Hard Knox just as Koopfinger drives off, and they head after him in their Spymobile. Upon activating the plumber pulsion, they are able to speed up towards Koopfinger. The Koopa Troopa spots the Spymobile gaining on them, and Koopfinger remarks that it has to be the Mario Bros.. Koopfinger pushes a button that opens a compartment in the back of the truck with a [[Snifit]] in it that shoots away at the Spymobile. It doesn't work, as Luigi points that the glass is Snifit-proof.

Later on at Koopfinger's hideout, Mario and Luigi have been cuffed to a board in Koopfinger's office. Mario tells Koopfinger to let them go, but Koopfinger tells him to shut up, and pushes a button, activating a game known as the Wheel of Misfortune from behind a panel, complete with hostess [[Vampa White]].

Vampa explains the simple rules of the game: She'll spin the wheel to determine the Mario Brothers' fate. Vampa spins the wheel and it lands on "Tunnel of Doom". Vampa then pulls a lever, dumping Mario and Luigi in an [[Tunnel of Doom|underground tunnel]]. Luigi wonders why they call the place the Tunnel of Doom, when a [[Goomba]] starts chasing them towards a patch of [[Piranha Plant]]s. Mario and Luigi leap over the Piranha Plants, while the Goomba follows. On the other side, a [[Spark]] approaches them. Trapped between a rock and a hard place, Mario pulls out his Super Spy Hose Nozzle and Mini-Plunger, which he uses as a grappling hook to escape from the tunnel with Luigi.

Back in Koopfinger's hideout, Mario tells Luigi that they need to ambush Koopfinger. Meanwhile, Koopfinger's goons report about how they stole nine-hundred and ninety-nine billion trillion billion million and one coins from Fort Hard Knox. Koopfinger thinks that it's not enough, and announces that they need to pull another crime.

Mario and Luigi drop into Koopfinger's office from above, announcing that they're there to stop him. Koopfinger orders Mouser, Koopa Troopa and Tryclyde to attack Mario and Luigi. While Mario fights Mouser and Tryclyde with the atomic screwdriver, Luigi fights Koopa Troopa with a wrench, though it doesn't hurt him. Mouser throws his bowler at Mario, but it misses, knocking out Tryclyde ''and'' Koopa Troopa. Vampa White blows a fireball kiss at Mario, but he deflects it with his screwdriver and it hits Mouser. Vampa tries to get away from the fireball, but she gets caught on the Wheel of Misfortune, spinning it in the process.

Plot synopsis[edit]

James Blond

One night in the streets of Spy Land, James Blond is searching for Koopfinger, as he had just uncovered Koopfinger's latest plot. However, when James Blond runs into Koopfinger, Koopfinger points a magic ring at the secret agent, turning him to stone.

The next day, Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool are sitting down to lunch at an Italian restaurant. Before Mario can thank Princess Toadstool for taking them out to eat, she pulls a hidden lever, sending their entire table down a shaft. As they descend, Princess Toadstool explains that they are going to Super Spy Headquarters because James Blond has been turned to stone, and the brothers are needed to save him.

At the bottom of the shaft, the trio ends up in an underground complex, where they are greeted by Secret Agent N. Agent N shows Mario and Luigi to their new Spymobile, which Luigi comments looks like an old plumber's truck, though Agent N tells him that it packs more firepower than a battleship. Agent N then shows Mario and Luigi their new equipment, including a wrench phone, an exclusive drain cleaner, an atomic screwdriver, and, as Mario finds out, a laser drill.

At that moment an alarm goes off, prompting Agent N to bring up a monitor. Upon doing so, Fort Hard Knox is shown, which Agent N comments is where all of Spy Land's Gold Coins are kept. The monitor then shows Koopfinger driving towards the treasury in a limo along with his goons Mouser, Tryclyde and a Koopa Troopa (who are all buff). Despite Luigi's cowardice, he and Mario head out to stop Koopfinger.

Meanwhile, Koopfinger's group arrives at the entrance to Fort Hard Knox, which Koopfinger blasts open with a Bob-Omb. With no one around to stop them, the gang proceeds with stealing all the Gold Coins.

Mario and Luigi reach Fort Hard Knox just as Koopfinger drives off, and they head after him in their Spymobile. Upon activating the plumber pulsion, they are able to speed up towards Koopfinger. The Koopa Troopa spots the Spymobile gaining on them, and Koopfinger remarks that it has to be the Mario Bros. Koopfinger pushes a button that opens a compartment in the back of the truck with a Snifit in it that shoots away at the Spymobile. It does not work, as Luigi points that the glass is Snifit-proof.

Mario orders Luigi to fire the plumber missiles (two plungers) at the Snifit, knocking it out. Koopfinger then releases an Albatoss carrying a Bob-Omb, but Luigi takes care of it with the plumber gun (a shower head). Fed up with the Marios' antics, Koopa radios for a Birdo. Soon enough, a large Birdo with dragon wings comes swooping down from the sky, picks up the Spymobile, and flies off to Koopfinger's hideout.

Later on at Koopfinger's hideout, Mario and Luigi have been cuffed to a board in Koopfinger's office. Mario tells Koopfinger to let them go, but Koopfinger tells him to shut up, and pushes a button, activating a game known as the Wheel of Misfortune from behind a panel, complete with hostess Vampa White.

Vampa explains the simple rules of the game: She will spin the wheel to determine the Mario Brothers' fate. Vampa spins the wheel and it lands on "Tunnel of Doom". Vampa then pulls a lever, dumping Mario and Luigi in an underground tunnel. Luigi wonders why they call the place the Tunnel of Doom, when a Goomba starts chasing them towards a patch of Piranha Plants. Mario and Luigi leap over the Piranha Plants, while the Goomba follows. On the other side, a Spark approaches them. Trapped between a rock and a hard place, Mario pulls out his Super Spy Hose Nozzle and Mini-Plunger, which he uses as a grappling hook to escape from the tunnel with Luigi.

Back in Koopfinger's hideout, Mario tells Luigi that they need to ambush Koopfinger. Meanwhile, Koopfinger's goons report about how they stole nine-hundred and ninety-nine billion trillion billion million and one coins from Fort Hard Knox. Koopfinger thinks that it is not enough, and announces that they need to pull another crime.

Mario and Luigi drop into Koopfinger's office from above, announcing that they are there to stop him. Koopfinger orders Mouser, Koopa Troopa and Tryclyde to attack Mario and Luigi. While Mario fights Mouser and Tryclyde with the atomic screwdriver, Luigi fights Koopa Troopa with a wrench, though it does not hurt him.

Vampa tries to get away from the fireball, but she gets caught on the Wheel of Misfortune, spinning it in the process.

Animation and continuity errors[edit]

An error in "On Her Majesty's Sewer Service": Koopa Troopa's face is miscolored.
Koopa Troopa's miscolored face
  • When Princess Toadstool explains the secret entrance to Mario and Luigi, the hidden candle lever she rotated disappears.
  • Initially, Secret Agent N has five fingers on each hand, but after introducing himself, he has four. It reverts back to five at the end of the episode.
  • When Koopfinger throws the bomb, Koopa Troopa's head turns completely green. A similar error occurs when Mario and Luigi arrive at Koopfinger's hideout, where his head is completely yellow.
    • In the same scene, Koopfinger refers to the bomb as a Magic Potion.
  • Koopfinger has five fingers instead of four throughout the episode, but has four when entering Fort Hard Knox and when grabbing the gold coins.
  • When the Wheel of Misfortune stops spinning for the first time, the spinner lands on "Tunnel of Doom," but in the next shot, the spinner is on "GAS."
