Episodes

Episode	Title	Length	Player(s)	Commentators	Release date
1	"I'm Your Hat Now, Bitch!"	23:06	Lindsay	Rick, John	30 October 2017 (2017-10-30)
The group watch the opening cutscenes of the game, in which Mario is defeated by Bowser and knocked off his airship. Mario wakes up in the Cap Kingdom and teams up with Cappy, giving him the ability to use his hat for a number of different purposes. Taking control of the game, Lindsay explores the area and gets used to the controls and abilities before heading to Top-Hat Tower, inside which is an ice cave with some frogs. After "capturing" one of the frogs with Cappy, she uses it to jump high enough to reach the top of the area, then heads through the door back outside. At the top of the tower, she faces one of the Broodals in a boss fight. Upon defeating him, the way forward is unlocked, allowing her to move on to the Cascade Kingdom.
2	"You Got a Banana!"	17:51	Lindsay	Rick, John	31 October 2017 (2017-10-31)
Lindsay enters the Cascade Kingdom, exploring some of the area and eventually taking control of a Chain Chomp in order to knock down some rubble hiding the game's first Power Moon. A little further on, she encounters the Odyssey, a broken-down airship that needs five Power Moons in order to run. The group are excited to encounter a dinosaur, which Lindsay takes control of to destroy some more barricades, one of which reveals another Power Moon. Further on in the area, she finds a few hidden purple coins and other things, followed by an 8-bit section attached to the wall. By heading to the left and wrapping around the wall, Lindsay discovers a secret area containing a third Power Moon.
3	"That Looks Broodal"	19:19	Lindsay	Rick, John	1 November 2017 (2017-11-01)
Lindsay reaches the boss of the Cascade Kingdom, a member of the Broodals who attacks with a Chain Chomp. By capturing the Chain Chomp and launching it into her, she is able to defeat the boss and obtain a Multi Moon. Returning to the Odyssey, she uses the Moons she has obtained to power up the ship, allowing it to take off and transport her to the Sand Kingdom. While there, she investigates the local shop, buying a Power Moon and an Employee Uniform. Outside, she finds another Moon on top of one of the buildings, then heads to an underground room where she finds one more in a minigame based on following the vibration of the controller. She heads back outside and gets a hint about the location of another Power Moon from a talking parrot.
4	"Good Identification of a Hole"	17:02	Lindsay	Rick, John	2 November 2017 (2017-11-02)
Lindsay heads towards the tower where the next story-based Power Moon is located, but quickly becomes distracted with other areas. While exploring, she picks up a Moon by capturing a Bullet Bill and flying over to it, as well as another one hidden inside a destructible block. Moving further up the tower, she passes through an 8-bit area and finds another Power Moon inside a wooden crate. After falling into a poison lake and dying while trying to reach another platform with the Bullet Bill, she returns to where she was before and continues climbing, eventually reaching the top of the tower and obtaining the Power Moon.
5	"The Watermelon Rebound"	26:48	Lindsay, John	Rick	3 November 2017 (2017-11-03)
Lindsay continues onward to an area with several moving platforms, which requires carefully timed jumps over beams that can damage Mario. After she responds to this threat by panicking and jumping off to her death several times, John takes over. He gets past the platform section to a new area, where he captures a "Moe-Eye" and uses it to view invisible paths. He collects five Moon Shards, which unlock a Power Moon. He then enters an indoor area involving capturing Bullet Bills, which he fails at many times, before eventually getting to the end and obtaining the Power Moon. He finds another Moon outside in the desert, buried under the sand, then enters the Inverted Pyramid. The pyramid contains 8-bit segments with alternating gravity; John finds another Power Moon hidden to the side here. Eventually, he reaches the roof and defeats another member of the Broodals in a boss fight, being rewarded with a Multi Moon.
