—Madzilla, "Dadzilla"

Madzilla is a fictional monster who stars in his own movie series, which is filmed inHollywood.

InThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Dadzilla,"Kootie Pie andBig Mouth, upon arriving in Hollywood, think that Madzilla is their real father, due to the way thatKing Koopa treated Kootie Pie earlier on. The twoKoopalings use theirmagic wands to bring a mechanical Madzilla to life. Confused upon being brought to life, Madzilla is tricked by Big Mouth and Kootie Pie into thinking that they are his long lost children, and they tell him what parents are "supposed" to do. At first, Madzilla is not evil, and only wishes the best for his "children", such as stealing a car and towing them around Hollywood.

Eventually,Mario,Luigi,Princess Toadstool, andToad catch on to the two Koopalings' plans, and come to stop it. Using aFire Flower, Mario becomesFire Mario, but is unable to stop Madzilla before losing his powers. Madzilla manages to lock the heroes up in a props warehouse, and allows Big Mouth and Kootie Pie to get their own clawprints in the Walk of Fame.

Mario and his friends then build their own robot out of spare parts in the warehouse to play the role ofMadzilla's Mom. In the interim, Madzilla is told to steal theHollywood Bowl so that Big Mouth and Kootie Pie can perform their own concert. After the concert receives a poor reception from the public, Madzilla picks up several innocent people, whom he threatens to toss in the Pacific Ocean. Before he can do so, Madzilla meets up with Mario's robot, which he believes is his mother. While controlling Madzilla's Mom, Mario tricks Madzilla's "children" into fleeing by insisting that everyone in their family must take naps so that they will be rested to do their chores. Not wanting to stick around, Big Mouth and Kootie Pie run backhome.

Afterwards, Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad explain everything to Madzilla, and allow him to live inGiant Land, to which he happily accepts, especially once he finds out that the Koopalings would no longer bother him.
