| [[File:WizardheimerBobomb.jpg|thumb|200px|left|[[Wizenheimer]] with a [[Bob-omb]].]] | | [[Mario]], Yoshi, [[Luigi]] and Princess Toadstool are searching the [[Forest of Illusion|Enchanted Forest]] for the missing [[Oogtar|Oogtar the Caveboy]]. As the group searches, [[Yoshi]] becomes increasingly uneasy in the haunted forest. After reassuring Yoshi that there aren't ghosts in the forest, Luigi bumps into a robed being. |
| 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.
| | Apologizing to the figure for bumping into him, Luigi is warned by [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] that the figure is "Wizenheimer", "the most dangerous [[Magikoopa|Koopa Wizard]] of them all". Yelling that it isn't Wizenheimer, its [[Wizardheimer]], the Koopa Wizard ends-up scaring a panicking Yoshi away. |
|
| |
|
| While running away from Oogtar, Yoshi nearly bumps into a wall of [[Piranha Plant]]s sticking out of Warp Pipes. Yoshi easily jumps over these Piranha Plants; unfortunately, Oogtar is not as lucky and ends up becoming stuck in a Piranha Plant's mouth. After begging for help, Oogtar is saved when Yoshi slurps up the Piranha Plant chewing on Oogtar.
| | After frightening Yoshi away, Wizardheimer demands that Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool to jump into a nearby [[Warp Pipe|Warp Tube]]. The group refuse 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 Wizardheimer conjures-up a [[Bob-omb]] and threatens to blow-up the group. After Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool jump into the tube, Wizardheimer follows them in. |

|
| After Oogtar thanks Yoshi for saving him, Yoshi explains to him that Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool have been kidnapped by a Koopa Wizard. Hearing Yoshi's story, Oogtar decides to aid him in his search for their friends.

|
| |
|
| 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.

| | In the basement of Wizardheimers Haunted House, Wizardheimer begins to taunt the now shackled Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool. After Princess Toadstool asks Wizardheimer why he is holding them captive, the Koopa Wizards only response is, "because I'm an evil Koopa Wizard, I don't need a reason to be mean and nasty, its my nature!". Wizardheimer then leaves his prisoners, whose only hope of escape are Yoshi and Oogtar. |
| 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.

| *At the beginning of the episode, [[Mario]]'s hair is briefly colored black instead brown.
| |

| |
| *When [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] warns Luigi of Wizenheimer, a gap appears underneath her dress several times.
| |
| *When [[Oogtar]] is impressed after Yoshi eats the [[Piranha Plant]], Yoshi's right eye is closed as opposed to his open left eye.
| |
| *In several scenes of the episode, various objects, such as [[? Block]]s and doors disappear, only to reappear later.
| |
| *At one point, Luigi's gloves are missing while only the stripes are visible.
| |
| *When Wizenheimer explains that he is an evil [[Magikoopa|Koopa Wizard]], Mario’s mustache is colored brown instead of black.
| |
| **In the same scene, his and Luigi’s handcuffs are the same color as their gloves. This also happens when Wizenheimer says he likes prisoners.
| |
| ***Additionally, the letter L on [[Luigi Cap|Luigi's cap]] is missing.
| |
| *In several scenes, the "L" on Luigi's cap turns white on a black background.
| |
| *When Luigi says that he and his friends are trapped, [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadtstool]]'s eyebrows are black instead of orange.
| |

| |
| *When Yoshi and Oogtar are flying in the air, a [[Block]] in the background can be seen to be moving with the screen.

| |
| *When Oogtar says that the [[Warp Pipe]] leads to the [[Ghost House|haunted house]], his eyebrows disappear briefly.
| |
| *When Yoshi hides behind a tree, he is layered in front of and behind it.
| |
| *When Toadstool questions Oogtar's disappearance, Mario and Luigi's gloves are the same color as their skin. This also happens near the end of the episode when they congratulate him for finding a [[Key|magic key]], although the stripes on their gloves appear to be the same color as their shirts.
| |
| *When Luigi says, "''Great! But who's gonna rescue you?''", both Bros.' letters on their caps are missing.
| |
| *When Yoshi finds the [[Triangular Block|Triangle Block]] and when he jumps it, it overlaps on the house.
| |
| *When Yoshi opens a window, part of the background is colored in like his body.
| |
| *While running from the [[Big Boo]], Yoshi's saddle colors are reversed.
| |
| *Similar to the [[Send in the Clown|previous episode]], most dubs that retain the vocals of the song with the exception of the Brazilian Portuguese dub use Yoshi's English voice instead of his dubbed voice.
| |
| *In the Albanian dub, Captain N's narration normally at the beginning of the episode is absent.

| ==Trivia==
| | * In several scenes of the episode various objects, such as ? Blocks and doors disappear, only to reappear later. Also, in several scenes, the "L" on Luigi's hat turns white on a black background. Also, while running from the [[Big Boo]], Yoshi's shell/saddle briefly turns white. |
| *[[Yoshi]] narrates the preview for the episode by saying, "''Yoshi say, stay out of [[Ghost House]]. Bad things inside! [[Magikoopa|Koopa Wizards]], scary [[Boo|ghosts]], things that go bump in the dark... Yoshi no scared...but can you go first?''"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiJfK6d-rHc&list=PLySo2SlSHPSPsMPvx3vXPmReAe05Vro9H&index=4 Super Mario World 404 - Ghosts Are Us//Totally Tetrisized]</ref> | |
| *This episode is one of the three episodes in [[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]] where [[Bowser|King Koopa]] and his [[Koopalings]] do not appear, the others being "[[Born to Ride]]" and "[[Party Line]]."
| |
|
| |
|
| ==References==
| | * When Yoshi jumps on the triangle block, it flies him up. In Super Mario World, it will make Mario walk on walls. This may be a fact that Yoshis can only jump on triangle blocks, but he jumps to the top floor of Wizenheimer's mansion while they cannot jump high on them |
