==Episode appearances==
==="Oh, Brother"===
After Kooky successfully captured Mario with his Plumber Pole, he uses Lame Brainer on Mario to put him under his control. Kooky demonstrates the Lame Brainer's effects on Mario to King Koopa by presenting Mario with a bowl of pasta. Although Mario wants the pasta at first, Kooky tells Mario that he hated pasta. Unable to think for himself, Mario then agrees with Kooky and rejects the pasta. King Koopa then asks for Mario to fix the broken Power Shower pipe, to which Mario obliges.
When Luigi arrives to save Mario, King Koopa orders Mario to attack Luigi with a wrench. Luigi cannot reason with Mario, and at one point, Luigi aggravates Mario by pulling down on the Lame Brainer, his overalls, and his mustache. By doing this, Luigi bypasses the effects the Lame Brainer has on Mario, overloading it. As a result, the Lame Brainer pops off of Mario's head, freeing him from his trance, and onto Kooky's head, forcing him into behaving like a mindless drone instead. Mario takes advantage of the situation by ordering Kooky to attack King Koopa, whom Kooky then begins to chase out of the dungeon.
