In it, Princess Peach plans to go to a Milli Vanilli concert, but those plans are dashed when Wendy O. Koopa (also known as "Kootie Pie" in this adaptation) kidnaps the two band members and demands that they give her a private concert. Hilarity ensues, largely due to Milli Vanilli's terrible voice acting (they voiced themselves in this episode, and boy if this wasn't a clue that there was no way they were really singing those songs, here you go), and their monotone reactions to Wendy threatening to turn them into accountants. Literally, she zaps them, they cry out "we're nerds! This is terrible!" in the most hilarious accent imaginable, and they finally relent to perform for her, only to be rescued by Peach and the Mario Bros. just in time. They return to their concert to perform for their new pals, Mario, Luigi, and Peach, and the episode ends with a quick snippet of their hit song "Girl You Know It's True". This episode was already pretty bad, and even IF we hadn't found out all that stuff about Milli Vanilli just weeks later, it'd be at the very least an honorable mention for this list, but with the scandal breaking when it did and immediately making their guest appearance incredibly short-sighted and ill-timed, this episode became one of the most infamous in animation history. The producers scrambled to "fix" the episode by cutting out Milli Vanilli's music and replacing it with generic music from the show, which only made it more hilarious, and also censored references to the band's songs within the show's dialogue, an extremely overblown reaction to a fairly silly scandal (compare the Milli Vanilli scandal with what some of the animators on this list have done, for example). Milli Vanilli's appearance on The Adventures Of Super Mario Bros. 3 looks silly in retrospect, and the show's move to censor the episode after the scandal just makes it look even sillier. Maybe the show's production staff wanted to avoid blame for bringing on Milli Vanilli in the first place, but instead of editing the episode so that it barely makes sense, maybe they should've just blamed it on the rain? --- This signature won't change until Chrono Trigger gets a re-release on a modern Nintendo console. <cite>RySenkari posted [p:974687790] in The 100 Du...
