Quote:
Albano appeared as himself in the live-action segment "Captain Lou Is Missing". In the segment, Cyndi Lauper announced that Albano had gone missing when she had planned to go on a picnic lunch with him, and instead found rubber bands for his beard and a note that read "Dear Cyndi, I'm sorry that I'm not here but I've gone for good".
Cyndi formed a search party with Mario and Luigi at Mario Brothers Plumbing along with several volunteers and search teams stationed around the world, which ultimately failed. When Mario went out to pick some pizza, Albano showed up and met Luigi. When Cyndi asked him why he said he left, Albano saw his note and explained that part of it had been cut off; the note should've read "Dear Cyndi, I'm sorry that I'm not here, but I've gone for good fried chicken. Back in an hour.". Albano then explained that he had gotten tired of waiting for Cyndi to arrive at his house afterwards, so he went out, saw fliers about his disappearance, and followed them all the way to Mario Brothers Plumbing.
Cyndi introduced Albano to Luigi, who was thrilled to meet him, although Luigi would've been happier if Mario had been there to meet him as well. When Albano and Cyndi left, Luigi figured that Mario was going to be very disappointed for not getting to meet him, as he claimed Mario was Albano's biggest fan.
Heh, so they were never in the same scene together. And it had Cindi Lauper in it, too! Just like:
