In Super Mario Brothers Super Show season 1 episode 29, titled "Mighty McMario and the Pot of Gold," Mario and Luigi find themselves transported to Ireland during a fierce thunderstorm. They are greeted by a leprechaun named Seamus McMario, who mistakenly believes the brothers are his distant relatives from America.
Seamus explains that he is the last of the McMario clan, and that his family was cursed by a witch to never find their pot of gold. He tells Mario and Luigi that the only way to break the curse is to retrieve the pot of gold from the nearby castle of the evil Lord Foulmouth.
Mario and Luigi accept the challenge and set off on their journey. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles and enemies, including goombas, Koopa Troopas, and even a giant spider. But with their trusty tools and quick thinking, they are able to overcome each challenge.
When they finally reach the castle, they are confronted by Lord Foulmouth and his army of minions. Mario and Luigi engage in a fierce battle, using their jumping skills and fireballs to defeat the enemies. Finally, they reach the pot of gold and bring it back to Seamus.
As soon as Seamus lays his hands on the pot of gold, the curse is lifted and the McMario clan is finally able to find their long-lost treasure. Seamus is overjoyed and thanks Mario and Luigi for their help, offering them a share of the gold as a reward. But the brothers decline, saying that they are happy to have helped and that their greatest reward is the satisfaction of a job well done.
The episode ends with Mario and Luigi returning to their own world, accompanied by the cheery tunes of Irish music.
