The Beauty of Kootie

**The Beauty of Kootie** is the fourth episode of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. In this episode, King Koopa decides to steal the Sultan's oil from his oil well, and to do so, makes Kootie Pie Koopa and Cheatsy Koopa stall Mario and Luigi while he gets all of the oil.

## Story Springboard from the Series Bible

The Sultan of Desertland sends a message that he needs the Marios quick! When the Princess and the Marios rush to his expansive palace to help with the emergency, they are surprised to find out it's only a plumbing problem. The palace is built over an oil field, and, somehow, things have gotten crossed up, so that oil is flowing in the water pipes, and vice versa! As the Marios unholster their wrenches and head for the cavernous dungeon area of the palace, where the mixup seems to have occurred...

We discover that King Koopa is behind the confusion. He's secretly bleeding off oil to power the Doom Ship, and his patchwork plumbing has caused the leak. Kootie Pie volunteers to distract the Marios, and Cheatsy gives her a magic wand "make over treatment" to disguise her reptilian looks, rendering her a legitimate human dreamboat... all except for her big green tail, which she tries to tuck under her skirt.

What follows is Kootie's inspired vamping of the Marios, who fall for her like a ton of bricks! Every so often, her tail flops out, and she has to hide it before the boys notice... but, it's only after she has tricked them into delivering the Sultan and the Princess into a Koopa trap that the boys have their horrible mistake revealed to them by the Princess... which the Marios rectify by finding the same magic wand and transforming Luigi into Kootie Pie's dream reptile date!

And now, as Luigi vamps Kootie, Mario defeats King Koopa in a wild and oily battle, with high-pressured geysers transforming the pipelines into the equivalent of thrashing garden hoses spraying high-pressured crude all over everyone and everything!
