"Captain Lou Is Missing" is the sixty-fourth and penultimate live-action segment of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. It was originally paired with "Mario and Joliet" and later with "Robo Koopa."

Plot[]

As Mario and Luigi are listening to "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" at the Mario Bros. Plumbing, they learn over a radio broadcast that Captain Lou Albano has gone missing. Cyndi Lauper stops by the basement and asks the Marios to help her look for him, because they were supposed to go out for lunch together. Mario, Luigi and Cyndi then set up a search party headquarters. When they fail to find Captain Lou, Mario leaves to pick up more pizza. While he's gone, Captain Lou arrives and meets up with Cyndi. Lou then introduces himself to Luigi, and leaves with Cyndi. Luigi feels sorry for Mario, because he never got to meet Captain Lou.

Trivia[]

  • Captain Lou and Cyndi Lauper have worked together many times prior to this episode. The best known instance would be the music video for the song "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", brief clips of which are played throughout the segment.
  • This episode is another example of the Mario Bros. themselves playing the guest stars: Lou Albano portrays both himself and Mario, hence why the latter is absent when Albano does appear.
