1: Mississippi Madness
Sep 17, 1983
Aboard a cruiser, Mario is describing to Pauline his latest Donkey Kong trap: using a duck to make a hunting dog drop a bucket of water to make a squirrel turn an exercise wheel, unraveling a rope to drop a cage on Donkey Kong. A trio of thieves named Belle, Billy Bob, and Colonel Culpepper interrupt Mario's rant, causing him to leave with Pauline. The trio reaffirms their plans to steal the Emerald of the East, which is being showcased at a local museum.
