Plumber's Log
ThePlumber's Log is an unseen logbook ofMario's that he uses to record his adventures throughout the animated segments ofThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. The log is a reference toStar Trek's Captain's Log. At the beginning of every episode, Mario quotes (in a voiceover) a brief entry from his Plumber's Log, usually explaining where he and his friends have traveled, why they are there, and what they are about to encounter. Each Plumber's Log has its own numbered entry, although there does not appear to be any plausible or chronological order to them in regards to the order of the episodes.
The Plumber's Log is also mentioned at the end of the live-action segment "Caught in a Draft", where Mario and Luigi speak in code to inform themselves thatSgt. Slaughter is gone. It is also featured in theZur Fernseh-Serie Super Mario Bros. - Spiele und Geschichten story "Der überlistete Häuptling", as well as the German-exclusive stories of theSuper Mario Bros. comics. In these cases, however, the log entries are shown in their entirety, rather than briefly quoted by Mario, as the stories are formatted as such.
In the French dub of the show, the Plumber's Log and its corresponding voiceovers are removed.
Entries[edit]
Note: Each Plumber's Log entry is written the way Mario pronounces it. For instance, the Plumber's Log for the first episode is written as "1-0-1", because Mario reads it as "one-zero-one", as opposed to "one-hundred-one". However, there are a few entry numbers that this rule does not apply to, usually because the number has an actual meaning (for example, the number is a year).
