Mario is stranded on a desert island. What will become of him!?

Mario gets stuck on an island after his plane crashes, and needs to find a way to survive until rescue arrives.


  • Accidental Murder: Mario threw the pilot out the window when said pilot refused to feed him. This led to the plane crashing and everyone but Mario dying.
  • Cue the Rain: After a long sequence of Mario failing to live well on the island, things seem to finally be going his way as he manages to light a fire, Cue the rain suddenly picking up and pouring on him, extinguishing the fire.
  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The video's title is exactly what the video is. Mario gets stuck on an island after his plane crashes.
  • Gilligan Cut: Mario proclaims the ocean won't stop him and runs into the water to swim back to the mainland. Sudden cut to him floating through the water, having drowned.
  • Gone Horribly Right: In his attempt to kill a pig he found for the meat, Mario charges up a massive Energy Ball and fires it at the pig. The pig does end up getting burned to death, but is also completely vaporised and turned into ash, leaving no edible meat left.
  • Here We Go Again!: At the end of the episode, after finally getting on another plane, Mario immediately starts pestering the pilot about food. And when the pilot tells him to shut up…
    Mario: Ooooo… big mistake…
  • Island Help Message: Mario makes one of these in an attempt to draw a nearby plane's attention to rescue him. Unfortunately, the wind blows his sticks and changes the message from "SEND HELP" to "SEND NUDE", which merely confuses the pilots.
  • Man on Fire: In order to light his campfire, Mario throws himself into the still flaming wreckage of his plane, runs out aflame, and starts humping his pile of sticks to light them.
  • Naked People Are Funny: One of Mario's attempts at shelter is to put his clothes on top of himself like a blanket. They end up blowing away, leading him to be nude with a small leaf loincloth for the rest of the episode.
  • Sole Survivor: When Mario unintentionally causes his plane to go down, every passenger except him dies in the crash.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Mario does this many times through out the video.
    • Upon being denied food by the pilot of his plane, Mario throws him out the window, with no regard for how the plane will stay up now. This leads it to crash.
    • Upon landing, Mario checks the plane's survival kit. He ends up labelling a radio, map, lifeboat, and flare gun as useless and throws them away, because he was solely focused on finding food in the kit.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The pilot of Mario's plane refused to provide him with food. This led to the latter throwing said pilot out the window and making the plane crash.
