Episodes[edit]
Recurring segments[edit]
On the show, there are several recurring segments.
"Are You Bogus?"[edit]
- Main article: Are You Bogus?
In "Are You Bogus?", Tommy Treehugger and Co-MC interview a guest at Club Mario, asking them questions to determine if they are who they claim to be.
"Celluloid Rating"[edit]
In "Celluloid Rating," Tommy and Co-MC watch popular films and then rate them based on how they felt about the film.
Featured films[edit]
- A Fine Mess ("Mario's Magic Carpet")
- The Invisible Man ("Stars in Their Eyes")
"Dr. Know-It-All"[edit]
In "Dr. Know-It-All," Tommy and Co-MC ask a man named Dr. Know-It-All a question, but when he attempts to answer, they decide they do not want to hear his answer anymore, usually because his answers are very incorrect. Sometimes, Co-MC or Tommy bet Dr. Know-It-All's answers are incorrect. Occasionally, Dr. Know-It-All's answers are correct, causing an argument between Tommy and Co-MC. Dr. Know-It-All was played by Kurt Weldon, a crew member who wrote several episodes of the Super Mario cartoons, as well as its corresponding show Captain N: The Game Master.
Spaced Out Theater[edit]
Spaced Out Theater is a show that Tommy Treehugger and Co-MC watch while "satellite surfing." It is hosted by Princess Centauri, a green alien woman bookending an edited version of another show called Photon, produced by DIC Entertainment, with all of the copyrighted songs replaced with original music. During the segment, she often makes witty remarks about Bhodi Li and his partners' adventures in attempting to find the titular Photon crystals located on every planet they visit.

- "No Laughing Matter" ("Cold Spells")
- "Space Terror" ("Brooklyn Bound")
