Super Mario World Cartoon Episode 09 – Gopher Bash

In a large field, Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, Yoshi, and a group of Cave People are surveying the scenery. While looking around, Mario goes on to say that, though the field is great, he does not think the Cave People would really want to grow crops, as they can grab berries off the nearby trees. As Yoshi begins eating some berries, Princess Toadstool goes on to say that she thinks Luigi's idea to teach the Cave People to grow their own food is very good. After hearing Princess Toadstool say this, Luigi begins his food-growing lessons.

First, Luigi, with the help of Yoshi, tries to teach the Cave People how to plow. However, Yoshi, upon seeing a berry, runs slightly too fast, and the hungry dinosaur drags along Luigi. Once Yoshi eats the berry, and the field is plowed (looking like Yoshi's face), it is revealed that King Koopa and Cheatsy Koopa have been spying on everyone.

Upon seeing that Luigi's efforts to teach the Cave People to grow crops are working, Koopa begins to worry; if the Cave People can grow their own food, they will be harder to subjugate. Seeing his father worrying, Cheatsy comes up with an idea: steal all the food the Cave People grow. Without any food, the Cave People will starve and be forced to come to him for food. Thinking this idea is great, Koopa leaves Cheatsy in charge.

After the field is completely plowed, Luigi begins planting seeds and tells the Cave People to do the same. However, the Cave People do not understand too well and begin to plant any nearby objects, much to Luigi's dismay. After a while, the seeds are successfully planted, with the next step being to water the plants.

Unfortunately, the Cave People take things out of hand and tip over a nearby well, which spills a wave of water over the field, washing Luigi and Yoshi away, much to Cheatsy's amusement. After the water washes away, Mario pulls his trapped brother out of the mud and asks how the farming is going. Luigi replies that it is going great and clomps away through the mud as Yoshi pulls himself from the dirt.

Surprisingly, the Cave People succeed in growing rows of crops, much to Luigi's delight. Later that night, Cheatsy and several Gophers sneak into the tunnels beneath the field and begin taking all the crops. While Cheatsy and the Gophers giggle at their deed, several other Gophers appear with a sack filled with Piranha Plants. The Gophers proceed to stick the Piranha Plants in the holes the crops used to be in.

Trivia & Bloopers

  • When Luigi first says the crop names, the first crop is "cave carrots." Later, when the group is leaving Cheatsy's lair, the name changes to "cave cabbage." This error does not occur in the European Spanish re-dub.
  • When Princess Toadstool tells Mario that Luigi should attempt farming, Mario is shown to be brighter than the other characters and background.
  • The number of spikes on Yoshi's back continually switches between three and four.
  • In a couple of scenes, the rim on Cheatsy's shell is green like the rest of the shell.
  • In the original version, when escaping with the stolen crops, Cheatsy says, "The only way you guys are gonna eat is by shopping at the Koopamart!". In certain issues of Nintendo Comics System, it is shown that the Koopamart is an actual store. However, the reference in this episode is most likely coincidental.
  • Mario and Yoshi's quote before they and Luigi enter the Warp Pipe leading to Cheatsy's lair is a reference to tous pour un, un pour tous ("all for one, one for all"), a motto traditionally associated with the titular heroes of the Alexandre Dumas novel The Three Musketeers.
