Recap / SMG 4 Mario Works At KFC

Go To

IT'S MARIO LICKIN' GOOOOOD

KFC is offering their new fried chickghetti, and an estatic Mario mows through traffic and pedestrians alike to get his fill. He eventually hatches a plan to gain full ability to sample the coveted food; become the owner of KFC himself! But Mario finds out that running such a big fast food company by himselfnote  is no easy task, especially when he has to face the wrath of the real owner himself, Colonel Sanders.


  • Bittersweet Ending: Mario survives the KFC debacle and manages to inadvertantly end the long-standing feud between Colonel Sanders and Ronald McDonald. He unfortunately doesn't get to enjoy the full taste of fried chickghetti, though it doesn't matter since he lost his appetite watching the romantic development between both restaurant owners.
  • Chekhov's Gun: One ring from the Ronald McDonald toy phone Mario accidentally crafted earlier summons the clown himself, and he fights off Colonel Sanders long enough for Mario to try and finish making his own fried chickghetti.
  • Eye Beams: When Luigi proves to be Mario's Rage Breaking Point against the hordes of angry customers, he unleashes lasers from his eyes that cook Luigi into chicken nuggets. This is enough to satiate Karen's kids.
  • Groin Attack: During their battle, Colonel Sanders rips out Ronald McDonald's McNuggets and declares them "finger-lickin' good".
  • Head Desk: Mario faceplants on the crafting table when his final attempt to make KFC fries himself only nets him a Ronald McDonald phone toy.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Twofold.
    • Mario would have had it a lot easier in this episode if he didn't off Old Man Hobo, the only employee in "his" restaurant who would have provided Mario some (if very limited) help in handling the feeding frenzy.
    • On the other hand, Mario has to deal with one Unsatisfiable Customer after another, including two of his own friends. When they push him too far with their violent impatience, on top of Luigi entering at the wrong time, Mario snaps and makes sure everyone gets their order... in the most painful and extreme manner he can think of. Special mention goes to him using a chicken leg to decapitate Saiko note  and tossing a nuke at JubJub note .
  • Off with His Head!: During his rampage, Mario decapitates Saiko with a chicken leg. She responds by giving him a thumbs up.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: It takes a lot to make Mario of all people lose his appetite. But Ronald McDonald and Colonel Sanders falling in love somehow accomplished it.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Unable to handle taking orders and cooking food for the ravenous customers, Mario finally snaps when Luigi comes to politely place an order, and he promptly "serves" his clientele exactly how they deserve to be served.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After Ronald McDonald and Colonel Sanders fall in love after the former gets a taste of fried chickghetti, Mario declares that he's lost his appetite and calmly walks out. Roll credits.
  • "Shaggy Dog" Story: In the end, Mario never gets to taste fried chickghetti to the fullest, but it matters little after he loses his appetite seeing Ronald McDonald and Colonel Sanders fall in love.
