"'''Mama Luigi'''" is the thirteenth and final episode of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series. In this episode, [[Luigi]] tells [[Yoshi]] the story of how the former met the latter. It mostly takes place at the beginning of the show's story, serving as a prequel, and is Yoshi's origin story, where Luigi takes care of Yoshi. They later find [[Mario]], and they go to [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s [[Bowser's Castle#Super Mario World|Neon Castle]] to save [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]. During the story, Luigi and Yoshi commentate on the events in the story, with the episode occasionally cutting back to the present. This is the last animated episode based on the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, since no episodes have been produced by [[DIC Entertainment|DIC]] or any other company since the cancelation of ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'' on NBC in 1991.

==Plot==
 
==Plot synopsis==
Inside the [[Dome Castle]], Luigi is in the process of putting a somewhat resistant Yoshi to bed. Yoshi, not feeling tired, asks Luigi to tell him a bedtime story — more specifically, the story of how Luigi, Mario, and Princess Toadstool met Yoshi.
Inside the [[Dome Castle]], Luigi is in the process of putting a somewhat resistant Yoshi to bed. Yoshi, not feeling tired, asks Luigi to tell him a bedtime story — more specifically, the story of how Luigi, Mario, and Princess Toadstool met Yoshi.


Luigi goes on to tell the story: After banishing King Koopa from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool decided to go on a vacation in [[Dinosaur Land|Dinosaur World]]. While exploring Dinosaur World, they visit [[Dome City]], which is deserted. Looking around, Princess Toadstool is suddenly grabbed by a pair of [[Chargin' Chuck|Koopa football players]]. Mario gets attacked by a [[Magikoopa|Koopa Wizard]], who shoots magic at him. As he runs away, a [[Bomber Bill|Magnum Bill]] flies after him, causing Mario to run away in a different direction. Luigi faces a [[Sumo Bro|Fire Sumo]], which stomps the ground, causing a fissure that Luigi falls into.

Several lines from this episode, including the line "That's Mama Luigi to you, Mario!", have become an [[List of references on the Internet|Internet meme]], even to the point of "Mama Luigi" being seen as a separate character from the normal Luigi. The line was inspired by an argument writer [[Phil Harnage]] had with the show's producer.<ref name=Faninterview/>
