Koopa Clogger
Appears in	The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 - "7 Continents for 7 Koopas" (1990)

TheKoopa Clogger is a special satellite invented byKooky von Koopa that can spawn large, spherical force fields withinWarp Pipes everywhere, preventing anything from passing through them. The force fields are shown to be very powerful and nearly immobile.

The Koopa Clogger is controlled via a system of levers located aboard theDoomship. However, only authorized users, such as Kooky himself, are able to even touch the controls; an unauthorized user instantly triggers an alarm upon contact, referred to byKing Koopa as an "Echo Goody-Good Warning Device."

History[edit]

InThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "7 Continents for 7 Koopas," theKoopas fly to theReal World aboard the Doomship, where King Koopa assigns his sevenKoopalings to each take over one of the Real World's seven continents. Knowing full well that the Mario Bros. will follow them to the Real World, in an attempt to stop them, Bowser orders Kooky to activate the Koopa Clogger.

Before the Doomship leaves theMushroom Kingdom,Princess Toadstool is unintentionally sucked up into the Doomship through itsSuper Slurp Pipe, promptingMario,Luigi, andToad into chasing after the Doomship. However, just before the trio can fly through the Warp Pipe that the Doomship goes through withRaccoon Power, the Koopa Clogger is activated, creating a force field in the Warp Pipe that causes the three of them to lose their Raccoon Power upon touching it.

With the Koopa Clogger active, Mario, Luigi, and Toad are unable to enter the Real World, thus allowing the Koopalings to freely take over the continents. Princess Toadstool attempts to sneak over to the controls, but she sets off the alarm, and is wrapped up in the chain of aChain Chomp. Back in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario, Luigi, and Toad try to pull the force field out of the pipe using a giant plunger, but are unsuccessful.

Later on, Princess Toadstool manages to irritate aBob-omb by teasing it, which sets off its fuse. The Chain Chomp andParagoombas guarding Princess Toadstool all flee from the active Bob-omb, while the Princess quickly grabs it and runs up to where the Koopa Clogger is. The Bob-omb blows up upon hitting the Koopa Clogger, destroyng it. Upon doing so, the force fields are disabled. Mario, Luigi and Toad are then able to get into the Real World, where they are able to help Princess Toadstool reclaim the continents from the Koopalings.
