"'''King Scoopa Koopa'''" is the sixth episode of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series. This episode could be seen as social commentary on fast food franchises and obesity in the United States, which became a serious issue by the turn of the 21st century. It can also be a commentary on addiction, such as [[Luigi]] and [[Yoshi]] stealing a treasure chest to feed their unhealthy habit. This episode is notable for being the only episode where a [[Roulette Block]] and a [[Super Mushroom]] appear. Chronologically, this is the last episode to use [[Yoshi]]'s original design before being redesigned with a more anthropomorphic appearance that more closely resembles his official game artwork. Despite this, "[[The Night Before Cave Christmas]]" (episode 411), produced later than this episode (405), uses his original design.

==Plot synopsis==
== Plot ==
As [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] serves lunch to [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], which turns out to be vegetable-filled sandwiches, Mario starts complaining about eating "rabbit-food" again. Subsequently, Mario begins to wonder where [[Yoshi]] is, as he never misses lunch. Soon after, a large roar is heard. This roar sends Mario, Princess Toadstool, and Luigi scurrying out of the [[Dome Castle]] to investigate.

This roar sends Mario, Princess Toadstool, and Luigi scurrying out of the [[Dome Castle]] to investigate.


Outside, Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool see a [[Rex]] dressed as a chef parading around a sign displaying the message "GRAND OPENING! SCOOPA KOOPA'S FAST FOOD, FREE SAMPLES." At the prospect of free food, Luigi runs up to the Rex chef and grabs an egg-burger, called an [[Egg Scoopa Koopa]] off the chef's plate, which he particularly enjoys because of the egg. However, Mario becomes disgusted due to his dislike of eggs. After Luigi gets his Egg Scoopa Koopa, Mario spots Yoshi in a line-up for food at a small concession stand, which is run by [[Bowser|King Koopa]] himself.

Proceeding to order a large amount of food, Yoshi watches as his meal is assembled by several Rexes and [[Dino-Torch]]es. As Yoshi's food is being made, Koopa begins to gloat about how he will make himself rich off causing the cave-people to become addicted to his food, and how he cannot wait to see the side-effects from eating too many Egg Scoopa Koopas. Getting his food, Yoshi realizes that he does not have any money. An annoyed Koopa (in his chef's outfit) proceeds to threaten Yoshi, until backing off by the appearance of Mario. Asking how much Yoshi owes, Mario proceeds to give him the apparently unfair sum of eighteen [[coin]]s.

Line 23: Line 23:
Several days later, Princess Toadstool visits Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi, who have all gotten fat off King Koopa's food, with the latter two oddly acting somewhat like chickens. The Princess, alarmed at seeing her friends in this condition, forces the three of them to go a diet, by locking them in the Dome Castle, much to their dismay.

Moments after leaving, Princess Toadstool returns to check on her friends, but finds that while Mario is perfectly normal, since he did not eat any Egg Scoopa Koopas, Luigi and Yoshi have been mutated by them, having grown several bird-like features, including wings, which they used to escape (although Princess Toadstool does not believe Mario at first). Watching as his customers line up for food, Koopa begins to realize that once all his customers have mutated into [[Chickadactyl]]s, he will lose his cash flow. At that point, however, Koopa realizes he can just cook the Chickadactyls and sell them to dinosaurs as "Flew the Koopa's Fried Chickendactyl Stand." After having this thought, Koopa begins to laugh maniacally, stating that he cannot be too rich, or too evil.

Princess Toadstool and Mario manage to track the infected Luigi and Yoshi down and try to knock some sense into them. Unfortunately, Luigi and Yoshi will not listen and resume chowing down. Suddenly, King Koopa appears, claiming there is no way to stop his plan of transforming everyone into Chickadactyls. He then states to several mutated cave-people that Mario and Princess Toadstool plan on taking away their food, leaving the enraged cave-people to attack the fleeing Mario and Princess Toadstool.

Finding a [[Fire Flower]], Mario manages to turn into [[Fire Mario]] and defeat several of Koopa's dinosaur minions, though Mario is turned back to normal after being hit by a Rex. Mario and Princess Toadstool are forced to flee to the [[Star World|Star Path]] as they are being chased by dozens of Chickadactyl-cave-people.
