This is the only episode that a reused song plays in; Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone" was first played in "Brooklyn Bound."
Plot synopsis[edit]
This episode supposedly takes place after the events of "The Pied Koopa," due in part to Pastaland's celebration being held at the beginning. Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad are all attending in honor of chasing the Pied Koopa out of the area. Suddenly, the Red Baron Koopa appears in what appears to be a cross between an airplane and a magic carpet. As the Red Baron Koopa heads to the celebration, he asks his Lakitu associate if the "secret weapon" is ready.
As Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool sit at a picnic table eating some spaghetti, Toad, who was sunbathing, notices several storm clouds appearing in the sky. As Toad begins to try to tell Mario about the storm clouds, lightning suddenly shoots downward, striking Mario's plate of spaghetti. As more bolts of lightning start striking, all the partygoers begin panicking and run away frantically as Mario begins to shout, "Save the spaghetti! Save the spaghetti!"
As rain begins to pour from the Lakitu's Cloud, the Red Baron Koopa orders the Lakitu to start releasing all the Spinies, which the Lakitu does. As the Spinies begin to cause havoc, the Red Baron Koopa announces to all of Pastaland's citizens that he plans on destroying their city using his "Wicked Weather Satellite." As Mario calls the satellite a piece of junk, an insulted Red Baron Koopa orders Lakitu to activate the satellite, which begins raining large amounts of snow on Pastaland.
As the snow begins to pile-up, the Red Baron Koopa issues an Ultimatum: unless Pastaland surrenders to him in seventeen minutes, he will freeze the entire country over. As Princess Toadstool bemoans the fate of Pastaland, Toad comes up with an idea; use a large beanstalk the group had seen earlier to reach the Wicked Weather Satellite and destroy it.

Unfortunately, the trampoline used to save Mario and Luigi and the two sends them flying high through the air, right back to Sam Shalam's store.
