"'''Day of the Orphan'''" is the second live-action segment of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' Its corresponding animated episode is "[[King Mario of Cramalot]]."

==Plot synopsis==
In [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]], [[Luigi]] is in the middle of a chess match against [[Edison]], who is standing in a manhole. Eventually Luigi becomes annoyed by Edison, who has not moved a piece in a while. Eventually, Edison does make a move, which Luigi believes to be a bad one and counters it. Unfortunately for Luigi, Edison easily puts him in checkmate in his next turn.

As Edison begins to gloat about his victory, the apartment doorbell suddenly rings; [[Mario]], who is too busy eating, simply gets Luigi to go and answer the door, much to Luigi's annoyance. Answering the door, Luigi is surprised to see a girl there; asking who she is, Luigi gets the response that she is an orphan whose name is [[Patty (The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!)|Patty]]. Hearing Patty's claim of being an orphan, Luigi, who feels sorry for her, lets her in and introduces her to Mario.

Asking Patty where she is from, Mario gets the response from Patty that she is been living on the streets for months, with nowhere to go. Feeling sorry for Patty, Mario and Luigi decide to throw her a party after learning it is her birthday. Hearing Mario and Luigi will throw her a party, Patty begins demanding to have various, expensive things at the party, leaving Mario and Luigi somewhat nervous as to how they can afford the things Patty wants.

As Mario and Luigi begin to set up Patty's party, Patty herself simply watches television while eating. Having eaten all her popcorn, Patty tells Mario she will lose her temper if she does not get more. As Luigi begins to become annoyed with Patty, the doorbell suddenly rings.

Rushing to the door, Patty answers it and is surprised to find [[Patty's mother and father|her mother and father]] there; quickly closing the door, Patty rushes back to the apartment. Opening the door, Luigi learns from Patty's parents that she is a chronic liar and troublemaker. Calling Patty out telling her to get to her parents immediately, Patty's parents tell her she is grounded and to apologize to Mario and Luigi. Accepting Patty's apology, Mario and Luigi decide to throw a party for her and her parents, as the decorations are already up.

==Trivia==
*For unknown reasons (likely due to DIC's master copy of the original version of the episode being lost), all DVD/digital and streaming releases of this episode and "[[King Mario of Cramalot]]" use the slowed-down Family Channel version of the episode. However, the original version of both this episode (minus the preview for ''[[The Legend of Zelda (television series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' episode "[[zeldawiki:The Ringer|The Ringer]]") and its accompanying animated segment were made available on VHS, as well as on the PAL DVDs.
*At the very end of the episode, when [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Patty (The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!)|Patty]] tell the viewer to "Do the Mario," someone says "Ta" quietly.
*Unlike other live-action segments in the Icelandic dub, the dub title is not displayed at the beginning of the episode.
