The segment starts with the TV at [[Club Mario (location)|Club Mario]] showing its titular show, with [[Tommy Treehugger]] and [[Co-MC]] being excited about this. They then introduce themselves to the viewer, with the latter mentioning that, if the viewer has noticed an improved, it is because they are being broadcasted via the "{{wp|Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company|Goodyear}} blink." Tommy corrects him by mentioning that it is actually a blimp, not a blink, before giving a synopsis of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[Jungle Fever]]." He and Co-MC then "satellite surf" to a public service announcement about the deforestation of rainforests by {{wp|Rainforest Action Network}}. | The segment starts with the TV at [[Club Mario (location)|Club Mario]] showing its titular show, with [[Tommy Treehugger]] and [[Co-MC]] being excited about this.

After their "satellite surfing" session, Tommy and Co-MC express excitement about it, with Tommy explaining that he loves doing that. He continues by saying that he and Co-MC have a "killer" "[[Are You Bogus?]]" guest that they are excited to show the viewer today. Co-MC then says that, for the viewers wondering how they can get to Club Mario, he does not know. Tommy explains that, early in the morning before the Sun comes up, they enter a limousine with tinted windows and are blindfolded and gagged, with the driver of the limousine driving them to Club Mario. He then mentions that he and Co-MC should watch ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', and the scene then cuts to the show. | After their "satellite surfing" session, Tommy and Co-MC express excitement about it, with Tommy explaining that he loves doing that.
