It is also the last episode, as well as the only ''Super Mario World'' episode, where [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky]] has dialogue.

==Plot synopsis==
==Plot==
While relaxing in front of the [[Dome Castle]], [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] watch as the people of [[Dome City]] painstakingly move various rocks and boulders. Feeling sorry for the cave people, Luigi and Mario try to think of a way to help them; after some brainstorming, Mario comes up with an idea.
While relaxing in front of the [[Dome Castle]], [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] watch as the people of [[Dome City]] painstakingly move various rocks and boulders. Feeling sorry for the cave people, Luigi and Mario try to think of a way to help them; after some brainstorming, Mario comes up with an idea.


Inside the Dome Castle, Mario and Luigi are hard at work producing various wooden wheels, as [[Ludwig|Kooky von Koopa]] looks on. After getting an idea, Kooky runs off while Mario and Luigi begin to transport the wheels they constructed outside. Outside, Mario runs into two cave people, Ugga and Ooga. He then proceeds to hand some wheels over to the two. The two cave people, not understanding what to do with the wheels, wear them as hats, much to Mario's dismay.

While Mario tries to explain the concept of wheels to Ugga and Ooga, Luigi approaches the nearby, napping [[Yoshi]], who proceeds to eat the wheel Luigi was carrying. After burning some holes into some wheels with a [[Fire Flower]], Mario, using a wooden rod and stone slab, manages to make a stone skateboard.

After having created several dozen cars, Mario decides to take a nap, only to be awoken several minutes later by a run over Luigi. Luigi explains to Mario that the cave people have no idea how to drive and that the accidents are piling up, quite literally. Mario simply brushes-off Luigi's claims, saying that the cave people will "Catch on."

In the bowels of [[Bowser's Castle|Neon Castle]], Kooky von Koopa begins construction of what he calls his "most monstrous invention ever!". Kooky proceeds to begin welding with a [[Dino-Torch]] while laughing maniacally.
