Plot[edit]
The comic starts with Princess Toadstool giving out a Public service announcement to game players. An example is then shown where Mario is seen in between two cardboard Piranha Plants being controlled by Toad and Luigi. Princess Toadstool tells the viewer of a secret maneuver to get around the situation called the "poker gambit", while Luigi calls Mario a slowpoke. Mario then pulls out a deck of playing cards to show off the "poker gambit" technique. Luigi, Mario and Toad then start playing poker. Luigi asks Mario why all the cards are faced up, to which Mario exclaims that it's his deck while he puts cards in the back of his overalls pocket, cheating in-game. Toad then asks is they could review the "Raining on Tuesday" rule. Princess Toadstool then concludes the PSA while reminding the viewer that it is risky to pull off the technique. The comic ends with Toad wearing Mario's clothes while Mario walks away with a barrel over his body, explaining he never lost to cardboard before.
