"'''The Wheel Thing'''" is the second episode of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' television series. The title for this episode may be a pun on the phrase "the real thing." It is notable for being the first appearance of [[Bowser|King Koopa]] in ''Super Mario World'', and is also the only episode in this series where [[Ludwig|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 burning some holes into some wheels with a [[Fire Flower]], Mario, using a wooden rod and stone slab, manages to make a stone skateboard.


Hopping on this skateboard, Luigi zooms around several amazed cave people. An overly-excited Yoshi ends up hopping on Luigi's back, wanting a ride. This added weight causes Luigi to crash, Yoshi to fall to the ground, and the skateboard to be flung into the air; as the skateboard begins to fall to the ground, Yoshi happily gobbles it up, proclaiming "Ohhh, is good!"

A while later, Mario begins to show [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] his recently constructed car factory. Utilizing things such as [[Fish Bone|Fishbone]]s and [[Piranha Plant]]s, Mario, with the help of Yoshi and the cave people, has managed to construct several [[Galoomba|Goomba]]-powered cars; despite Mario continually stating that his cars are a good idea, Princess Toadstool is still somewhat worried.

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."

A celebration is thrown by the cave people in Mario and Luigi's honor. As the two Mario Bros. are happily welcomed back to Dome City, the two decide to stave off trying to introduce the wheel to the cave people for "a few thousand years."

==Animation and continuity errors==
==Animation and continuity errors==
*In the original version, when [[Mario]] grunts when tossing the fireball from the [[Fire Flower]] [[Luigi]] gave him, he has [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s voice, being a reused audio clip from ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[The Fire of Hercufleas]]." This error is fixed in foreign dubs.
*When Luigi asks Mario, "Does that mean what I 'tink' it means?", Mario’s overalls and shirt are red.  
*In several scenes, the "L" on [[Luigi Cap|Luigi's cap]] is colored white on a black background.
*When Luigi first shows Yoshi some wheels, the latter's arms are white. Also, several shots in the episode accidentally have the "L" on Luigi's cap colored white on a black background.
*Before Mario says, "''I can't think of anything.''", the animation cel's production markings can be seen near Luigi's shoes. This also occurs when Mario tells him not to worry when the cave people blame them for causing the accident, where the cel number can be seen on the bottom-right corner of the screen for a few frames.
*Yoshi's eyes shift in size throughout the episode
*When [[Ludwig|Kooky]] is climbing a tree, his tail is the same color as the rim of his shell.
*Unlike the previous show, Kooky's snout was the same color as the rest of his body.
*When Kooky lifts the mask of his disguise, its tooth turns the same color as the rest of the mask.
*When Princess Toadstool asks Mario, "It even has a horn?", her eyebrows change color.
*Unlike in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Kooky's snout is the same color as his body. This oversight is consistent throughout the entire episode.
*When Mario tries to hit the ? Blocks, there are five of them, the fourth containing a Cape Feather. However, when Mario hits the Cape Feather block, there are six blocks instead of five.
*In one scene when Mario and Luigi are making wheels, Luigi's mustache turns the same color as his skin.
*After the cave people use the wheels as hats, Mario has an "L" on his cap.
*After the cave people use the wheels as hats, Mario has an "L" on [[Mario Cap|his cap]].
*When Mario tosses the fireball from the Fire Flower Luigi gave him, he says "Auuggh!", his voice is from King Koopa.
*When Luigi first shows [[Yoshi]] some wheels, the latter's arms are white.
*As Luigi throws the fireball to Mario, his sideburns turn the same color as his cap for a few frames.
*When Mario says, ''"Gimme some of that prehistoric prod!"'', as he starts walking, the "M" on his cap disappears.
*When Mario says, ''"Gimme some of that prehistoric prod!"'', as he starts walking, the "M" on his cap disappears.
*When Luigi and Yoshi start fighting over the stick, the symbol on Luigi's cap turns green.
*When Mario says he thought he was always hungry, Yoshi's face is miscolored.
*After Yoshi falls off Luigi, he speaks, but his mouth does not move. This is fixed in the French, Italian, and Latin American Spanish dubs.
**In the German dub, Yoshi's English voice can also be heard as he falls.
*When the engine lands on the car, a [[Cave People|cave person]]'s foot overlaps on the car.
*When a cave person drives out of the factory, he overlaps on a house.
*When [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] asks Mario, "''It even has a horn?''", her eyebrows are black instead of orange.
*When showing the accident, a [[Galoomba|Goomba]]'s lips are the same color as its body.
*When Kooky says that he will use the [[Mega Mechanasaur]] to conquer the world, his mouth does not move.
*When the Mega Mechanasaur starts breaking into [[Dome City]], its shoulders are light-blue instead of dark-blue.
**In the same scene, the cover underneath it disappears.
*When King Koopa and Kooky step onto one of the Mega Mechanasaur's hands, it is miscolored.
*When King Koopa and Kooky board the Mega Mechanasaur, the borders around the cockpit are colored blue instead of brown.
*When King Koopa runs away from Kooky's machine, he says for it to let him go before he is grabbed.
*When Kooky's machine throws King Koopa into the cockpit, the top is not colored in.
*When Ooga knocks on the door to [[Dome Castle]], he knocks once, but the knocking sound can be heard twice.
*While Mario and Luigi are in the [[Lava Pits (Super Mario World television series)|Lava Pits]], the pizza Luigi is cooking switches direction between shots.
*When Luigi asks Mario, "''Does that mean what I 'tink' it means?''", Mario's shirt is red, while his and Luigi's gloves match the color of their shirts.
*When Luigi jumps in Mario's arms after the [[Blargg]] scares him, the circle on his cap is black instead of white.
*When Princess Toadstool tells Mario to catch the [[Trampoline]] while he and Luigi are being chased by the [[Blargg]], she can be seen to be smiling.
*When Mario tries to hit the [[? Block]]s, there are five of them, but when Mario hits the Block containing a [[Cape Feather]], there are six.
*When Yoshi appears with a digging helmet, he has four spikes on his back instead of three.
*In several scenes, Yoshi's eyes are miscolored.
*In one scene, the lower jaw on the Mega Mechanasaur is colored blue like its body instead of yellow.
*In some scenes, the tops of the levers of Kooky's machine change color.
*When Mario and Luigi jump onto Yoshi, the three stagger backwards for a frame.
*When King Koopa lands on Kooky, the Mega Mechanasaur is moving, but the background remains stationary.
**In the same scene, his claws turn the same color as the spikes on his shackles.
*After two of the cave people hammer in the crossing signals, one overlaps on a tree.
*When [[Bowser's Minions]] run away, the spikes on the orange dinosaur are the same color as its body instead of green.
*The Albanian dub title misspells pajisja ("wheel") as "paisja."

*'''[[Koopa's Stone Age Quests]]''' DVD: ''[[Mario]] "invents" the wheel, and the [[Cave People|cave people]] discover traffic jams and fender benders. Frustrated, they banish Mario and [[Luigi]] to [[Lava Pits (Super Mario World television series)|Lava Land]].''
==Dub edits==
*In the original, after [[Bowser|King Koopa]] pleads [[Ludwig|Kooky]] to slow down the [[Mega Mechanasaur]], the latter explains that he needs to finish the "Kooky von Koopa Memorial Freeway." In the Spanish dubs, he merely calls the freeway the "Kooky von Koopa Freeway."
*In the Latin American Spanish dub:
**Screams are added for King Koopa when he and Kooky are launched from the Mega Mechanasaur when it collapses and when they run away from the ensuing explosion.
**In the original, as the [[Cave People]] are cheering for [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Yoshi]] after they stop the Mega Mechanasaur, Mario suggests that he and Luigi should stave off trying to introduce wheels to the Cave People for a few years. In the dub, it is introducing cars to the Cave People.
