"Caught in a Draft" is the thirty-ninth live-action segment of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. It is paired with the animated episode "Bad Rap."

Plot[]

Mario and Luigi are hard at work with a piping system when Sgt. Slaughter (who previously appeared in "All Steamed Up") forces his way in through their door. He comes in with the information that he's there to train them for special secret government mission. Luigi is skeptical but when he "hears" the mission he falls in line. Sgt. Slaughter then puts Mario to work doing push-ups.

Sgt. Slaughter continues to make the Marios do exercises but they fail to do chin-ups due to the bar bending under their weight. Sgt. Slaughter then tries to put them trough drills but they have a hard time understanding his military terms.

Sgt. Slaughter decides that he's gotten the Mario Bros. into shape but finds them asleep. The phone rings and it turns out to be the President of the United States, who informs Sgt. Slaughter he didn't want the Mario Brothers, he wanted the Ratigator. Sgt. Slaughter calls in the Ratigator, gives it some brief orders then leaves.

Trivia[]

  • This the first time the President of the United States calls the Marios' business, something that he would later do in "Glasnuts."
