"'''Super Koopa'''" is the twenty-sixth and final episode of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. It aired alongside another episode entitled "[[The Venice Menace]]." This episode contains a few references to the ''{{wp|Superman (franchise)|Superman}}'' series, most notably the title. [[Bowser|King Koopa]] also references {{wp|Superman}}'s catchphrase "This looks like a job for Superman" by saying, "This looks like a job for Super Koopa!"

 

This episode is notable for being the only episode to feature [[Goomba's Shoe|Karoobi]]s.

In his laboratory in [[Bowser's Castle|Koopa Kastle]], [[Ludwig|Kooky von Koopa]], with assistance from [[Lemmy|Hip]] and [[Iggy|Hop Koopa]], is in the midst of creating another invention. Telling Hip and Hop to pull a switch, Kooky watches as energy pulses into a nearby [[Magic pendant|pendant]]. After the pendant is done absorbing energy, Kooky grabs it and proclaims that with it, [[Bowser|King Koopa]] will gain the same powers [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] have and begins to gloat over his genius. As Kooky continues his self-praise, Koopa appears and, after congratulating Kooky, Hip and Hop, takes the pendant, only to be informed by Hip and Hop that it will only function in the [[Earth|real world]]. Koopa does not seem to be concerned with this though, as he will still have the advantage, as Mario and Luigi are unable to access their powers in the real world.

While traveling, Mario, Luigi, [[Toad]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are suddenly confronted by King Koopa and his [[Bowser's Airship|Doomship]]; Koopa proceeds to, with a lasso, grab Luigi and, after traveling a few feet, dumps him and himself into a [[Warp Pipe|Warp Zone]], with Mario and Princess Toadstool following closely behind; a complaining Toad is told to stay behind in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] by Princess Toadstool.

Spinning out of control, Mario and Luigi are fortunate enough to land on a submarine that had raised from the ocean. The [[Captain (The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3)|captain]] of the submarine, after exiting the vessel, proceeds to ask if Mario and Luigi are all right. The brothers, however, point out Koopa, who is about to dive-bomb them. Retreating into the captain's submarine, Mario, Luigi, and the captain fail to notice Bowser zap a nearby crate with his pendant. Diving into the crate he zapped, Koopa transforms from Raccoon Koopa into "[[Frog Mario|Frog Koopa]]". Diving underwater, he proceeds to kick the submarine with enough force to beach it on shore, hurting his foot in the process. Climbing on shore, Koopa manages to capture Mario, Luigi, and the submarine captain and dumps them in the [[Bastille]].

Returning to the Eiffel Tower, Koopa informs Kooky, Hip, Hop, and [[Wendy|Kootie Pie Koopa]] through his [[Magic Wand|wand]] that Paris and all of Europe is now defenseless. In the Bastille, Mario and Luigi begin to bemoan their fate, realizing they are no match for the super-powered King Koopa. As Koopa begins to travel through Paris, becoming annoyed with all the looks he is getting, Mario and Luigi begin trying to dig their way out of the Bastille with a spoon, which Luigi accidentally bends.

Hitting Mario and Luigi with fireballs, Koopa has his attack reflected back at him when Mario and Luigi become invincible through the use of a [[Super Star|Starman]]. Unfortunately, Koopa powers himself up again using his pendant and begins trying to crush Mario and Luigi with a Karoobi. Chasing Mario and Luigi, who have [[Frog Suit]]s on, Koopa notices that Princess Toadstool and Toad have been supplying Mario and Luigi their powers, so he grabs them and tries to fly away with them as Raccoon Koopa. Luckily, Mario and Luigi manage to defeat King Koopa and rescue Toad and Princess Toadstool. Desperate, Koopa tries to crush [[Frog Mario|Frog Luigi]] with his Karoobi, only to be stopped by Mario, who has his own Karoobi given to him by Princess Toadstool. Losing his Karoobi, Koopa tries to power-up again, only to see his pendant has overloaded. The pendant then explodes, hurtling him back to the Mushroom Kingdom through a manhole, with Kooky, Hip, Hop, and Kootie Pie following him. With King Koopa and the [[Koopalings]] vanquished, Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool celebrate, with Toad getting lots of praise for bringing the power-ups to Mario and Luigi.

==Dub edits==

*In the French dub:

**In the original version, when seeing [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon Koopa]], the [[Captain (The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3)|captain]] says it is too much for him. In the dub, he instead tells [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] to call the police.

**When [[Bowser|Super Koopa]] mentions that he has conquered [[Paris]], he tells them to think about Europe's culture and history. In the French dub, he instead tells them to think about Paris, specifically the [[Louvre]] and the {{wp|Sacré-Cœur, Paris|Sacré Coeur}}. [[Ludwig|Kooky]] also mentions baguettes instead of French fries.

 

*The unhappy expression of the [[Captain (The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3)|French submarine captain]] when he mentions [[Frog Mario|Frog Koopa]] is a reference to "frog," which, when used to refer to a French person, has a disparaging meaning.

*In the original NBC airings, Toad narrates the teaser promo saying, "''Attention all citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom! Mushrooms everywhere are under Koopa attack! Call the Super Mario Brothers, or we'll all wind up in the soup!''"<ref>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mBd9kLEFOrE 1991 - WDIV - NBC - Captain N & Super Mario Bros 3 - Intro only]</ref>
