The screen reads:
Dear Mario,
Have you tried making your own television show?
Superheroically yours,
paperbagman
Mario: Let me gather my thoughts here. I think I've got it! (clears screen, typing) I think I've made my own television show. I think TV is divided into genres. First, is the Action/Adventure.
(channel change to Action Bros.)
Theme singers: We are united against the forces of evil. We can take on any veil. We get out of sticky situations with ease, so do what you please! We're the Action Bros.
(as soon as the singers reach Action Bros., the title screen for the show appears.)
