==Trivia==
*Before the credits roll, a screen can be seen saying, “Happy Mario Day” as Mario says, “Nintendo! Wahoo!” in the background. This implies that the episode was played on March 10, also known as “Mar10” or “Mario Day”
*When Luigi says that he made the verses up to the ninth verse, he’s telling the truth. Charles Martinet, the voice actor for Luigi, came up with the song ten days before March 10. He sent an email to Nintendo, stating he had a good idea for a song. He put down nine verses, and stating he forgot the tenth, asked Nintendo to make their own tenth verse. When Nintendo saw this, they forwarded it to PBS. PBS decided to give credit to Charles Martinet, and created the tenth verse we all know today.
