"'''Ghosts 'R' Us'''" is the fourth episode of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series. The episode is misspelled as "'''Ghosts Are Us'''" on MRA Entertainment's DVDs. This episode's name is a pun on the name of the store {{wp|Toys "R" Us}}. This is also the second episode of a ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' cartoon to have a title be a pun on the name Toys "R" Us, the first being "[[Crimes R Us]]" of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

==Plot synopsis==
[[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are searching the [[Forest of Illusion|Enchanted Forest]] for the missing [[Oogtar]] the Caveboy. As the group searches, Yoshi becomes increasingly uneasy in the haunted forest. After reassuring Yoshi that there are no ghosts in the forest, Luigi bumps into a robed being.
[[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are searching the [[Forest of Illusion|Enchanted Forest]] for the missing [[Oogtar]] the [[Cave People|cave boy]]. As the group searches, Yoshi becomes increasingly uneasy in the haunted forest. After reassuring Yoshi that there are no ghosts in the forest, Luigi bumps into a robed being.


Apologizing to the figure for bumping into him, Luigi is warned by Princess Toadstool that the figure is "the most terrible [[Magikoopa|Koopa Wizard]] in the entire [[Dinosaur Land|Dino World]], Wisenheimer". Yelling that his name is really [[Wizenheimer]], the Koopa Wizard ends up scaring Luigi and Yoshi, causing the latter to run away panicking.

After frightening Yoshi away, Wizenheimer demands that Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool jump into a nearby [[Warp Pipe]]. Princess Toadstool refuses to enter the pipe, stating that it leads to a [[Ghost House|haunted house]]. Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool are subsequently forced into the tube when Wizenheimer conjures-up a [[Bob-omb]] and threatens to blow up the group. After Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool jump into the tube, Wizenheimer follows them in.

Eventually, Yoshi stops running and begins to worry about his friends and the trees and bushes roar and grab at him. Before Yoshi can track them down, though, a large Tarzan-like holler scares the dinosaur. Terrified, Yoshi runs off, only to be chased by a "monster" who was, in actuality, the missing caveboy, Oogtar.

In the basement of the haunted house, Wizenheimer begins to taunt the now shackled Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool. After Princess Toadstool asks Wizenheimer why he is holding them captive, the Koopa Wizard's only response is, "Because I'm an evil Koopa Wizard, I don't need a reason to be mean and nasty. It's my nature!". Wizenheimer then leaves his prisoners, whose only hope of escape are Yoshi and Oogtar.

While looking for their friends in the forest, Oogtar and Yoshi are attacked by an angry [[Wiggler|Caterpillar]]. A panicking Oogtar is forced to drag Yoshi away, the latter having gone into shock due to the caterpillar's monstrous roars. While fleeing from the caterpillar, Yoshi comes across a [[? Block]], which he hits, causing a pair of [[Yoshi's Wings|Magic Wings]] to pop out of the box; leaping into these wings, Yoshi gains the power of flight. With Oogtar on his back, Yoshi flutters up into the air and swoops down on the attacking caterpillar and with his sticky tongue, gobbles it up.

With the ability to fly on his side, Yoshi easily finds the Warp Pipe his friends were forced down and with Oogtar, he ventures down it. Coming out of the other end of the Warp Pipe, Yoshi is horrified to discover that Wizenheimer lives in a haunted house. Deciding to leave Yoshi behind, the overconfident Oogtar begins pounding on the door of Wizenheimer's haunted house. Coming to see what the commotion was, Wizenheimer is met with Oogtar, who demands to be brought to the house's dungeon to see his friends. An amused Wizenheimer agrees to take Oogtar to the dungeon, then subsequently zaps the caveboy into chains in the dungeon.

Realizing it is up to him to save his friends, Yoshi, with the use of a [[Triangular Block|Triangle Block]], barges into the house. Inside the house, Yoshi is attacked and chased by a gang of [[Boo|ghosts]]. After a long chase, Yoshi finds himself in Wizenheimer's basement, face-to-face with the Koopa Wizard himself.
