The Plumber Pole in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3
First appearance The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 ("Oh, Brother!") (1990)
“I'll catch that faucet face with another one of my nifty gizmos: The Plumber Pole!”
Kooky von Koopa, "Oh, Brother!"

The Plumber Pole is a modified fishing rod built by Kooky von Koopa, which is capable of being cast through a series of Warp Pipes, hooking a Mario brother, and pulling him back through the pipes.

In The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Oh, Brother!", Kooky, who is in an underground dungeon, uses the Plumber Pole to retrieve Mario from the Mushroom Kingdom. After locating Mario on the Koopascope, Kooky casts the Plumber Pole through a pipe, where it finds its way through the Pipe Maze, and into the Mushroom Kingdom, where it hooks onto Mario. Kooky then uses the Plumber Pole to pull Mario back through the pipes, and brings him all the way to the dungeon.
