Plumbing Shallow Waters: Episode Three

Another week has gone by, and it's time to take another look at the cartoons from the Super Mario Brothers Super Show, a program that, for some reason, I remember fondly despite the fact that trying to watch it now feels almost painful sometimes in just how low-quality it seems the show is willing to settle for.  If the show has standards, they just don't seem very high, and are getting lower as time goes on.

As one humorist I've followed once said, "The floor's the limit!"

The first episode was a terrible rip-off of Star Wars which felt out of place in every sense from the universe that Mario and Luigi supposedly exist in, and I'm keeping in consideration the fact that they have been to space (twice), and have even existed as paper-thin versions of themselves battling evil with the help of stickers.

The second episode seemed to fit better in the "strange worlds" theme, since it involved a beanstalk and giants, two things that are already established in canon.  Let's see if the third episode is more the former or the latter.
