Hooded Robin and His Mario Men

Submitted by Hip

(The episode opens to a medieval-like forest.)

Mario: (in his mind) Plumber's Log, Number 2-0-3. We were in the middle of Sharewood Forest, and we were lost.

(Mario and Co are in the middle of the forest, and Toad is holding a map.)

Toad: Okay, I got it this time! Sharewood Village is this way!

(Toad points to a spot on the map.)

Toad: Let's go!

(As soon as the four of them walk off, they are caught by a net hidden on the ground, and are now hanging from a tree.)

Mario: You know, my Mushroom paisano, maybe it's time to get a new map!

(Some Troopas, who are dressed as knights, are standing below the net.)

Troopa: You won't need it where you're goin', Hooded Robin!

Princess: Hooded Robin? They think we're someone else!

Luigi: Nobody up here, but us plumbers!

Troopa: Plumbers? Ha! Good try, birdbrain! But'cha can't fool me!

Koopa (off screen): Troopas, retreat!

Troopa: That's the Sheriff of Koopingham's voice! All right, Troopas! Listen  up!

Koopa (off screen): I want, um, daisies! Fetch me every daisy in the forest!

Troopa: Daisies? Right! Troopas, fall out!

(The Troopas run off in various directions.)

Mario: That sure sounded like Koopa, but why would that rotten reptile rescue us?

(A human-sized robin, who wears a hat like Robin Hood, flies up to the group.)

Robin: Not Koopa, my friend! T'was I, Hooded Robin! Sharewood's most wanted outlaw! People call for my speciality! (in Koopa's voice) I'm the Sheriff of Koopingham! Scourge of the Mushroom Kingdom!

Toad: Hooded Robin! So, the Troopas were on your tail!

Robin: (normal voice) Precisely, old chap! *snicker* I rob from the rich Koopa, and give to the poor Mushrooms!

(Robin uses a bow to shoot a plunger at the rope holding up the net and it breaks. Robin grabs Princess as she falls, but the Marios and Toad land in the bushes.)

Robin: Fear not, m'lady! Hooded Robin is the swashbuckler supreme!

Toad: Showoff supreme if ya ask me!

(Cut to Sharewood Village. Mario and Co and Robin are with some of the local Mushroomers.)

Robin: Friends, I'd like you to meet the good Mushroom folk of Sharewood Village!

Child: But we don't have anything to share no more!

Princess: Oh, you poor child!

Child: That mean old Sheriff of Koopingham often snatched all our gold coins!

(The rest of the villagers nod in disappointment.)

Princess: We'll help you get your gold back! Right, guys?

Mari: Sure will!

(Robin pats Mario on the back.)

Robin: Jolly good! Hooded Robin and his Mario men shall stop Koopa in his greedy tracks!

Toad: I'm all for layin' out lizard lips! But how do we find him?

Robin: A cinch! He's on his way there!

(Toad points to Koopa's castle on the map. Cut to a path leading to the castle itself. Koopa is riding in a horse-drawn covered wagon, which is on its way to the castle. A few Troopas are also guarding the wagon.)

Koopa: Koopingham Castle! Straight ahead! I gotta stow this dough! *laugh*

(A shot of inside the wagon shows that sacks of gold coins surround Koopa, who's handling a few of the coins.)

Koopa: I'm glad the folks of Sharewood shared with their sheriff! *laugh*

(One of the Troopas presents Koopa with a bouquet of daisies.)

Troopa: Mission accomplished, your most notorious nastiness!

Koopa: Daisies? I didn't ask for daisies! I ordered you to trap that rebel, Robin!

Troopa: But oh most Koopafied sheriff, your orders, in the forest! *mutters* Uh oh!

Koopa: You nincomtroopa!

(Koopa beats the bouquet with his scepter.)

Koopa: You were hoodwinked by Hooded Robin! I'm gonna pluck that bird nerd wing from wing!

(The wagon stops suddenly. Koopa falls over, and the Troopa falls out next to Toad. Toad is wearing sunglasses, has a star badge on his head, and is standing next to a tollbooth.)

Toad: Pull it over! This is a toll road!

Troopa: Toll road? Since when?

(Toad pulls out a note and reads it.)

Toad: By order of his most royal repulsiveness, the reptile Sheriff of Koopingham! The castle road shall require a toll! In the amount of: One wagon full of gold coins!

(Koopa gets out of the wagon.)

Koopa: Forget it, fungus face! I stole that gold unfair and square!

(The Troopas fire plungers at Toad, but he ducks and they miss.)

Toad: Okay! Okay! I'll take an IOU!

Koopa: It'll take more than that lame truffle brain to stop me from getting this gold back to my castle!

Robin (off screen): Sheriff, you're quite mistaken!

(Koopa looks up and sees Robin in a tree.)

Robin: I'm going to return that gold to the kind Mushfolk of Sharewood, or my name's not Hooded Robin!

(The Marios and Princess walk up to the barrier at the tollbooth. The Marios are now wearing Robin Hood-type hats. Much like their normal hats, Mario's is red with an M, while Luigi's is green with an L. Princess now has a feather in her crown.)

Mario: And don't forget his Mario men!

(Mario shoots a plunger from a bow, which hits Koopa's snout, knocking him over. The Troopas run over to Koopa, but Robin trips one of them with a plunger and they all fall over onto Koopa.)

Koopa: Stop!

(Another Troopa, who's holding a sword, runs up to the barrier.)

Troopa: Charge!

(Princess gets onto the barrier.)

Princess: There!

(As the barrier rises, it hits the Troopa and knocks him into a tree. Koopa gets up, knocking all of the Troopas off of him.)

Koopa: How long ya gonna stay here?

(Koopa pulls the plunger off of his snout. He then looks up in a tree and sees Robin, who's pretending to sleep. He shoots Robin with the plunger, but ends up missing and hits the tree. Robin gets up and flies over to the wagon.)

Robin: Now, to go for the gold!

Princess: Robin, be careful!

Robin: Hooded Robin laughs at danger! *laugh*

(A Troopa places a cage inside the wagon. Robin accidentally flies into it, and Koopa locks the door with a padlock. Mario and Co gasp.)

Luigi: Leapin' lasagna! Koopa's got him captive! Aribaderchi, Robin!

Koopa: This rich reptile can really rob from the poor!

(Koopa gets back into the wagon and rides off.)

Koopa: While beak geek rots in my dungeon! *laugh*

(Cut to the dungeon of the castle. Robin is now in a birdcage inside the dungeon, and Koopa is standing by the door.)

Koopa: So, Hooded Robin, how does it feel to be a jailbird?

Koopa: (in Robin's voice) Hooded Robin never admits defeat!

Koopa: Face it, featherweight! You're Kooput! *laugh*

(Koopa leaves.)

Robin: Hooded Robin, is in big trouble.

(Cut to the front doors of the castle, which is guarded by three Troopas.)

Troopa: I don't get it! We're cruel! We're criminal! Why are we stuck on guard duty? *growl* Nothing gets past us alive!

Mario (off screen): Comin' through!

(The Marios wheel up a wagon full of pipes.)

Mario: Easy, fellas! This is official castle business!

Troopa: There's nothin' wrong with our moat!

Mario: Quit living in the dark ages! You need a modern moat! Mr. Troopa, close your evil eyes! Now, picture your dream moat!

(The Troopa closes his eyes and envisions his dream moat, which is protected by boiling water, barbed wire, satellites, and surveillance cameras.)

Mario: Boiling water, barbed wire...

(A Trouter pops out of the water and jump out.)

Troopa: Man-eating Trouters!

(The Troopa opens his eyes.)

Troopa: Yike! Huh?

(The Marios wheel the wagon into the castle. The Troopa falls into the moat, but jumps back up to the bridge, and the other Troopas help him up.)

Troopa: Hold it, you sewer squirts! You can't dupe a Troopa! You're the Mario Bros! Troopatize those pipesqueaks!

(The Troopas fire spears and plungers at the Marios as they run through the castle. Princess and Toad poke their heads out from under the pipes on the wagon.)

Toad: Pour on the pasta power, dudes!

Princess: No! Stop right here!

(The Marios stop the wagon, and Toad flies out.)

Luigi: Sufferin' spaghetti! I wish ya guys would make up your minds!

Princess: There's our escape route! I'll throw that flask of magic potion at the wall!

(Princess throws a potion at the wall, creating a door that Toad opens.)

Mario: Quick! Through the magic door!

(The four of them run through the door. The door disappears when the Troopas run up to it, and they end up hitting the wall. Mario and Co come out of another door in the dungeon.)

Luigi: The dungeon? I'm allergic to dungeons! I just knew that magic door would lead us to-

(The four of them see Robin in his cage.)

Mario: Hooded Robin!

Robin: Bravo! I knew my Mario men were made of tough stuff!

Mario: This'll be easy as pie! Pizza pie with pepperoni!

(Mario cuts off the lock with pliers, and Robin steps out of the cage.)

Robin: Hooded Robin is lucky to have such simply smashing friends!

Mario: Then let's start smashing our way outta here, and find that gold!

(Cut to another room in the castle. Mario and Co and Robin are looking through the window at Fryguy, who's guarding a door.)

Toad: It's Fryguy!

Mario: And he's guarding the gold coins! How do we get past that hothead?

Robin: Hmm. We need something to catch Fryguy's fancy!

Princess: How about a Frygal?

Mario, Luigi, and Robin: Frygal?

Princess: Just wait and see!

(Princess runs off and enters the room Fryguy's in. Without getting his attention, she rips away a curtain, grabs a pitchfork, the tips of which are burning like a torch, and brings it back to the group.)

Princess: Robin, can you do a girl's voice?

Robin: (in a flirty, girl's voice) Your highness, Hooded Robin can imitate any voice!

(Princess shows him the pitchfork.)

Robin: (normal voice) Frygal? Oh no! I'm not-

(Later, Robin is standing on top of Toad and holding the pitchfork over his head. He's also holding up a pair of sunglasses, similar to the one's Fry Guy wears.)

Robin: -dressing up as Frygal.

(The Marios hand Princess the curtain, and she ties it around Toad and Robin. They now sort of resemble a tall female Fryguy who's wearing a dress.)

Princess: Relax! You guys look great!

(Once the Marios and Princess leave, Fryguy turns around and sees the Frygal.)

Fryguy: Hubba hubba!

(Robin wolf whistles.)

Fryguy: Hot stuff!

Robin: (in his girly voice) Hello handsome! You remind me of my old flame!

Fryguy: I'm the heat to meet, baby! The name's Fryguy!

(Fryguy bounces over to the Frygal.)

Robin: (in his girly voice) Let's step around the corner and see what cooks!

(The Frygal walks out of the room, and Fryguy follows.)

Fryguy: My heart is on fire!

(Mario paces over to the exit Fryguy went through. He then signals the others, and they run over to the door at the back of the room. They look through the barred window of the door and see piles of gold coins along with several chests.)

Mario: That's a heapin' helpin' of moolah!

Luigi: Yeah! And it's a lot of money too!

(Koopa opens the door from inside.)

Koopa: My money, tap turkey!

(Troopas surround them from behind.)

Koopa: And there's a death penalty for early withdrawal!

(Cut to Fryguy, who's following the Frygal around the castle. The curtain slips off of Toad and Robin, which stuns Fryguy for a moment. Toad and Robin don't notice at first, until Fryguy blows out their fire. Robin coughs. The song "Rockin' Robin" starts up. Robin tosses away the sunglasses and pitchfork, picks up Toad, and runs off. Fryguy goes after them, trying to spit fire at them. Robin crashes into Mario, who's with Luigi and Princess. The five of them huddle and run off as Fryguy and the Troopas approach them. Robin flies into the room leading to the treasure hall and stands outside the door. Fryguy flies through the door, and Robin locks him in. Meanwhile, Mario stomps on a Troopa and kicks him over to Luigi, who knocks him away with his plunger. The Troopa rolls into a bunch of other Troopas. Inside the room leading to the treasure hall, Koopa enters, and Princess fires a plunger on a rope at his shell. Toad throws the end off the rope over the curtain rod. The Marios run in. Mario catches the other end and ties it to something, leaving Koopa hanging in the air. The song ends. Smoke floats out of the door to the treasure hall.)

Robin: The treasure hall! It's red hot!

(The Marios and Robin run over to the door and look inside at Fryguy, who's melting all of the coins.)

Fryguy: Wait 'til I get my flames on you!

Luigi: Frygoon's throwin' a temper tantrum!

Toad: Yeah! He's meltin' the gold coins into liquid assets!

Mario: Liquid? No problicimo!

(Later, a pipe extends up from a hole in the floor and goes through the door. Luigi climbs out.)

Mario: You gotta remember! When it doubt, flush it out!

(Mario pushes a switch, causing water to fly out of the pipe, spraying Fryguy.)

Koopa: Shut off that Kooplicated contraption, you clog clown!

(Mario pulls the switch the other way, which sucks up all of the melted coins.)

Koopa: My money's goin' down the drain!

Robin: Indeed, you vile reptile! The gold is going back to the Mushroom citizens of Sharewood.

(Cut to the village. The Marios, who are wearing their normal hats again, Princess, who no longer has a feather in her crown, Toad, and Robin are there with the villagers.)

Robin: We have defeated the Sheriff of Koopingham!

(The child walks up to Mario.)

Mario: Hey! It's the Mushroom bambino! Have we got a surprise for you!

(Mario presses down on a pump, and a gold coin pours out.)

Child: It's a gold coin!

(Mario and the child pump out more coins, and everyone cheers.)

Toad: *snicker* Whadda ya know? Hot gold running water!

Robin: This calls for a celebration feast!

Mario: A feast? And we're invited?

Robin: Of course! The more, the merrier!

(Luigi pats Mario's stomach.)

Luigi: Better make that "The more for Mario"!

(Mario and Co laugh.)
