History
The Slime Busters had received a call from Mario Brothers Plumbing, where Mario and Luigi were suffering from an infestation of Slime Ghosts. As none of the Slime Busters really wanted to deal with the Mario Bros., they had a coin toss, which Ernie ultimately lost, forcing him into taking the job.
Ernie drove to Mario Brothers Plumbing in the Slime Busters' van and got there just after a Slime Ghost pulled Luigi into the back room. Uncertain as to where the Slime Ghost was hiding, Ernie opted to check out the furnace which was spewing an unusual amount of steam, but Mario showed Ernie to the back room. Before entering, Ernie asked Mario to put a dime in the parking meter if he didn't make it out within ten minutes. Ernie then entered the room and came out in disgust, complaining that what he saw in there was the most hideous entity he had ever seen. At that moment, Luigi came out of the room, shaking violently. Mario asked for Ernie to shake Luigi's hand, but Ernie noted that he was shaking just fine.
Ernie tried checking for traces of the Slime Ghost on one of his devices, but he had little luck. Not paying attention to Luigi, who was clearly possessed by the Slime Ghost due to his warped voice and decision to eat a plate, Ernie figured that the Slime Ghost was nearby once some slime had been flung onto the fridge.
Not knowing how else to deal with Luigi, Ernie had no other option but to shoot him with his proton gun, mentioning that it would either drive the Slime Ghost from his body, or turn him into a drooling, moronic zombie forever. Ernie shot Luigi, who tried to deflect the shot with a pizza pan and succeeded in turning him back to normal. With Luigi cured, Ernie and Mario learned that everything worked out, except for the fact that the pizza pan had been dented.
Suddenly, the pizza pan, now possessed by the Slime Ghost, surrendered himself to Ernie and asked to be taken away from Mario and Luigi, whom he referred to as two "Goombas". When they heard that pizza pan speak, Ernie and Mario couldn't help but laugh.
