Wario's Garlic Problem

Wario's Garlic Problem is the third episode of Adventures In Mario Land Season 1. Wario's over-consumption of garlic leads to some very smelly problems in the Mushroom Kingdom. So Luigi turns to Professor E. Gadd to come up with a better scenting solution.

Episode Summary
After chasing Meowser away from that mountain, Mario needs some time to just relax. He reclines on the sofa, grabs a soda, a slice of pizza, and turns on The Mushroom Kingdom's Funniest Home Videos. Peach thinks that Mario deserves this break after all the hard work he's done. Luigi agrees and grabs a slice of pizza.

Elsewhere, Wario is furious that Peach took all the treasure that he had attempted to steal that one time. He thinks that binge eating garlic and watching Netflix will solve all his problems. Waluigi wonders if that's such a good idea. Wario says he's also going to binge watch every season of Dexter. Waluigi wonders if that's such a good idea. Then he pauses and wonders why they didn't come up with a cheesy rhyming replacement name for Dexter, but they changed it to Mushroom Kingdom's Funniest Home Videos. Waluigi says the audience knows what they're talking about, but they're on television. Wario says they got permission to use the terms. Waluigi shakes his head.

Mario feels like he has to go out and take a jog. Toad wonders why. Mario says if he's ever going to catch his friendly foe hedgehog, then he's gonna have to get in shape a little. Luigi thinks that's a valid point. Mario heads off on a jog. While he's jogging and jamming out to Marinara Grande, he spots something suspicious at Wario and Waluigi's house. He decides to find out what's up. He knocks, and the door opens. A foul stench pours out the door. Mario plugs his nose and says he can SEE the stench it's so bad.

Mario walks in and wonders what is even going on. Waluigi has a gas mask on and hands one to Mario. Waluigi says Wario has been doing nothing but eating garlic and watching Netflix. Mario goes up to Wario and tells him to snap out of it. Wario refuses and he farts. Mario and Waluigi both think it's a good idea to evacuate the house now. They both run out as the stench gets worse and worse. They also realize the stench is now beginning to spread all over the kingdom. A Goomba is strolling by but catches the stench and faints.

Back at Peach's Castle, Luigi is wondering if Mario is ever going to finish that pizza. Just then, Luigi gets a riff of the stench. Luigi wonders what that is. He wonders if Yoshi is having gas issues again. Yoshi says not to mention that. It was an ugly time between him and Birdo. Peach comes out and wants the smell removed immediately. Luigi wonders how, this smell is probably all over the kingdom. Luigi points outside to the now olive colored sky. Flowers are wilted, birds fainted, enemies fallen over. Peach wonders what they could possibly do. Luigi has an idea and runs off.

Luigi finds Professor E. Gadd at his laboratory. E. Gadd is glad to see Luigi and wonders what he can do for him. Luigi says it's urgent. They need to get rid of a stench from Wario's farting and garlic that's been spreading across the entire kingdom. E. Gadd thinks he knows what to do. He gets out the Poltergust 5000 and makes some modifications to it. Luigi wonders what he's doing. E. Gadd says he's made some modifications to the Poltergust 5000 so that Luigi has the ability to rid the air of the foul scent. He says there's an air freshener feature too. Luigi puts it on the strawberry setting. He heads out.

Daisy wonders how much more of this they have to take. Donkey Kong doesn't know, because if it continues, his banana stash will be spoiled. Luigi calls out to not fear anymore. He has a solution. He flicks on the Poltergust 5000 and starts sucking all the foul air out of the air. Everyone is cheering for Luigi. Mario encourages his brother to keep it up. After all the air is cleaned up, Mario, Peach, Toad, Yoshi, Daisy, Waluigi, and Donkey Kong pick up Luigi. They're all glad he saved the day.

Meanwhile, back at Wario and Waluigi's house, Waluigi asks Wario if he's ready to quit binge eating garlic. Wario says yes, because he realizes how much trouble he caused and he promises it won't happen again. Wario lets out a fart. Waluigi plugs his nose. Waluigi just shrugs and figures that's just typical Wario.
