Episode 1 - Super Mario Madness
Mythbuckers
Hi and Welcome to the first episode of Mythbuckers! I'm Green and this is Twilight.
Hello there. So this is how the show works: we test myths. That's pretty much it. We also do stipid things and...
BLOW CRAP UP!
Yes, we do. Anyway, on to the first myth.
Super Mario Madness
So we are testing the myth that weapons used in the Mario games are effective in real life. But, we already know what shrooms do to you, so we will test out fire.
Keep in mind, we are trained professionals. So don't try this at home.
First is fireballs. We have someone to take care of fire, so let's go.
At The Bomb Range
Philomena is atop Twilight's head.
This is a phoenix named Philomena. She belongs to the princess, so we asked to borrow her for this experiment. Under safety rules, she is accompanying us to test the myth. Say hello, your highness! The camera points at the princess. She waves before the camera points back at me.
We will have Philomena throw a ball of fire at a Bowser stand in. He will be played by Buster. Buster is in a Bowser costume.
The three of us will hide in the bunker as the phoenix will not be harmed by the fire.
The phoenix gets on an X as Buster is placed a few feet from her. I put her in a Luigi Costume for laughs.
It's looks good on you...even with a mustache.(Princess) The Phoenix huffs smoke.
This is SUPER MARIO BROS. BOWSER VS MARIO IN 3...2...1 The fire is formed and hits Buster, sharing him to bits. I laugh like Adam. Twilight is silent like Jamie. We head out of the bunker. We see the remains of Buster.
Now there's your problem!
The result was conclusive. The myth is Confirmed.
Confirmed it is...also... thank you for letting us borrow your...bird(finger), Princess. Philomena flew up to Celestia. I tried not to laugh.
CONFIRMED
Next up. See Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rainbow go head to head in a contest of intuition and creativity to use land vehicals for water travel.
Land Vehicles vs Water
It's time to test water on land vehicles. We're testing to see who can make a land vehicle into one for water by using it and more things.
BUT, it must include the vehicle to count.
Yes, sire. Let's go.
Rainbow gets the Bike, Applejack gets a carriage(Mare do well) and Pinkie gets...plastic wrap...okay.
Rainbow uses Buggy Boards on the front and back to make the bike float and uses a cookie sheet as a rudder.
Applejack uses a Treadmill-like way with the wheels to make it go and uses the roof as a base. The wheels are used to move the boat by making it as a Treadmill to give them synchronicity. Steering is also a cookie sheet.
Pinkie's is a Giant wire ball(Australian sport-type vehicle) with Plastic wrap around it.
Harbor
We will race these vehicles to the end and see which is best for travel on water.
3...2...1 GO!
They all go. Pinkie Pie zooms by the others. She wins and bounces around to celebrate.
After 3 minutes, Rainbow makes it and is grateful the machine works.
Applejack's makes it in 5 and is glad to make it at all.
What's the verdict?
Pinkie's is confirmed, mine is confirmed and Applejack's is also confirmed, too but is not practical.
I agree. Confirmed it is. Mine ain't practical like but is confirmed anyhow.
CONFIRMED
Next up, Green and Twilight super-size an old favorite and a hang-glider cannon?
SUPER-SIZED WATER HEATER
Bomb Range
We thought of Super-Sizing a classic Mythbuckers favorite. Time to get some water heaters.
We're having 4 Water Heaters launched and tied together so we can see if it's any different.
The 4 are tied together as their safety parts are removed. We headed to the bunker. The heaters took a while to launch but it...was.....worth it! They skyrocketed into the air as they launched over 400 feet off the ground. I laughed again and Twilight was silent. We went to the remains of the test.
WOW! That was...significant!
Confirmed and Awesome!
Confirmed!
Confirmed
Next up, A Hang-Glider Cannon?
Hang-Glider Cannon
Alameata Runway
We're here with a cannon to launch Buster in a Hang-Glider to see if he could survive a cannon blast.
Hang-Glider Launch in 3...2...1
It blast off and went straight for a minute before going straight down.
Whoa! They investigated.
Since it wasn't effected by the cannon, it's confirmed but not very safe. You could do it but it's not recommended.
Confirmed
4 confirmed myths. Very good for episode 1. But, we're not even close to finishing. Next time, Mario Madness 2, Killer Cards Super-Sized, Archimedes Death Ray Re-visit Finale and Werewolf Tests.
Color coated words is a new thing for me but it works only for a script mostly.
Comments are appreciated and desired.
Episode 2 - Archimedes Death Ray Re-Visit Revenge, Killer Deck Re-visit

Episode 2 - Archimedes Death Ray Re-Visit Revenge, Killer Deck Re-visit
Episode 2
On this episode of Mythbuckers, Green & Twilight go Veggie as they test more methods of Mario Power Madness. Then, the classic myth, Archimedes Death Ray gets super-sized. Next, Killer Deck gets a magical re-visit. Then, Rainbow, Applejack and Pinkie tackle if Duct Tape parachutes can exist.
Who are the Mythbuckers?
Green"I reject your reality and substitute my own," and Twilight Sparkle"Quack Damn you!"
Between them, almost no years of SFX Experience.
Together with Rainbow Dash,
Applejack and
Pinkie Pie,
They don't just tell the myths, They put them to the Test.
Super Mario Madness 2
So what have we got?
We're tackling more Super Mario Weapons...starting with veggies.
I always knew they were evil.
In Super Mario Bros. 2 for the NES, Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad worked to stop Wart from taking over. They used vegetables to stop him.
There's not much we have to do. I already have an idea to use magic to hurl veggies at a Wart cutout.
Okay.
Bomb Range
*Camera talk*We're testing the myth of vegetables being used as weapons. We got help from Applejack to test these myths. We've paid for the veggies and are gonna put the Wart cutout into a wide bowl so we can have a salad when we finish.
*Camera Talk*Though the bowl was a nice touch, I doubt serious damage will be inflicted but magic is mysterious like that. It's unclear now but who knows.
First up, an apple family favorite, an apple.
This is apple hurl using magic in 3...2...1.... BONK.
Nothing.
We tried an apple. Definitely not heavy enough. Let's try a Cantaloupe. *Camera* Though the myth is for veggies, we are also using fruit in case of absence of anything in one weight.
Next is Cantaloupe.
Cantaloupe hurl using magic in 3....2....1...POW!
Wow.
Damage is now clear.
A decapitation. Not bad. But, were not done are we?
Right-o. Last is a Watermelon.
Finally, a Watermelon.
This is Watermelon hurl with magic in 3...2...1...SPLAT!
Significant damage. The body and whole head are clean off.
He's not coming out of that. This one is confirmed.
Confirmed!
Confirmed
Killer Deck Re-Visit
So. Killer Deck again, huh?
Yes. We have been requested to go back and redo this myth with bigger scale to see if cards can ever be lethal.
Okay.
Bomb Range
*camera* Killer Deck was tested before, but now, it will be rammed up to the extreme using a pig blood filled bolistics gel dummy. We will have many unicorns hurl the cards at the dummy proving once and for all if the myth is true.
Many loyal volunteers, protected by safety suits, will be part of the myth.
This is Killer Deck Revisit in 3...2...1 SLASH! It spews blood everywhere!
We have blood.
Wow!
Very...bloody...indeed.
Time to inspect.
Much more.....damage than before. I'd say Confirmed.
Confirmed!
Confirmed
Next up, Rainbow, Applejack and Pinkie test Duct Tape Parachutes and a revisit.
Archimedes Death Ray 4
So, it's finally time. After 9 seasons, this myth will end here and now.
Which is it?
Archimedes Death Ray.
...whoa.
This myth has been busted 3 times but has gotten a 4th wind by a request. So, what will it take?
I already know how to do it.
That quick? What is it?
The Princess will help us by focusing the beams of sunlight at a ship on a lake. If this works, it will be confirmed.
Wow. Let's go.
Quarry
*Camera* The fact the sun princess is helping is enough to call it. But, I won't be satisfied until Combustion is scene with these eyes.
*camera* It seems...too simple if you ask me. Though I have faith in my teacher, I doubt it a little.
So, Now to test it.
This is Archimedes Death Ray 4 in 3....2....1.
Fwoosh!
We have fire.
WOW! I didn't see that one coming.
.....................................Whoa.
Time to inspect.
That clinches it. Confirmed.
Indeed. Wonder what else is combustible.
Confirmed
Duct Tape Parachute
What's the myth?
We are seeing if we can make a Duct Tape Parachute.
That's...ballsy.
I love it.
Duct Tape. A Mythbuckers Classic. Time to push it further beyond.
It's obvious what we need to do. First, we make it. Then, We'll push it out of an airplane.
Simple. I love it.
M7
*camera* In order to test the myth, we'll need a parachute to compare.
Here it is.
Very big. Well....let's get started.
*camera*We've decided to measure it and make a copy from Duct Tape.
Done. Now to test.
Quarry
*camera*We've decided to test a regular parachute and the Duct Tape one.
It was raised into a Helicopter.
Parachute in 3...2...1.
Fwop.
Deployed.
All right. Now for Duct Tape.
*camera*For this myth to be confirmed, the parachute has to deploy as well as the regular one.
Duct Tape Parachute in 3...2....1.
Fwop.
It's pretty clear how it turned out. Confirmed.
Agreed.
Confirmed
