"'''The Yoshi Shuffle'''" is the eleventh episode of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series. The title is a reference to the {{wp|Chicago Bears}} 1985 rap song "{{wp|The Super Bowl Shuffle}}."

This episode is notable for being the only episode where [[Ninji]]s appear. It is also notable for being the only ''Super Mario World'' episode where [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] does not appear, making [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Yoshi]] the only three to appear in every episode. Additionally, it marks the last appearance of [[Roy|Bully]], [[Morton|Big Mouth]], [[Larry|Cheatsy]], [[Boo|ghost]]s, [[Galoomba|Goomba]]s, and a [[Thwomp]] in any ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' cartoon.

==Plot synopsis==
[[File:It's a stone, Luigi.jpg|thumb|left|Luigi shows Mario his newly-chiseled football.]]
While watching several [[Cave People]] attempting to build something with stone slabs, [[Mario]] notices how recklessly the Cave People are working. However, whatever the Cave People were building falls apart as they failed to cooperate in building it. As the Cave People stare blankly at the mess they have made, [[Luigi]] and [[Yoshi]] suddenly appear. Luigi proceeds to show Mario a stone football he chiseled. An excited Mario gets Luigi to throw the football to him; however, the football is too heavy, and Mario is knocked backwards upon catching it.

Sort-of catching this football gives Mario an idea: he will teach the Cave People teamwork and cooperation by getting them to play football with one another. Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and the Cave People proceed to rush into a nearby field for a game, with [[Roy|Bully]] and [[Larry|Cheatsy Koopa]] watching them.

Beginning the game of football, [[Mario]] passes the ball to [[Yoshi]] and tells the Cave People to tackle him; unfortunately, the confused Cave People simply tackle each other. As the Cave People fight among themselves, Yoshi throws the football to Luigi, who is running down the field. As Luigi tries to catch the ball, he runs into a nearby [[Magikoopa|Koopa wizard]]. The Koopa wizard, angered, turns Luigi into a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi egg]]; right after doing this, he is flung backwards by the soaring football and subsequently drops his wand.

Having watched the entire scene from behind a nearby tree, Bully and Cheatsy Koopa prepare to run in and take the egg Luigi has been turned into. Before the [[Koopalings]] can grab the egg, though, Yoshi appears and, mistaking the egg for the football, picks it up and begins running away with it, with Mario chasing him.

Seeing Bully and Cheatsy, Mario has Yoshi jump into a nearby [[Warp Pipe|Warp Tube]], with Mario following him in. Coming out the other end of the Warp Tube, Mario and Yoshi are horrified to discover they are right in front of [[Bowser's Castle|Neon Castle]]. Before they can react, Mario and Yoshi are tackled by a pair of [[Chargin' Chuck|Koopa football player]]s. Coming out of the Warp Tube, a taunting Cheatsy orders the Chucks to take Mario and Yoshi to Neon Castle's dungeon while Bully takes "Luigi the Egg."

With Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi captured, Cheatsy enters [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s bedroom and begins to tell his sleeping father of how he captured Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi. Suddenly, Cheatsy gets an idea and leaves his father's room, believing, with his father sleeping, he is in charge. Going into the dungeons, Cheatsy proceeds to tell Mario, Yoshi, and Bully that they are all going to play a game of football for his amusement, with Luigi as the ball.

[[File:Galoombas, Boo Buddies and Ninjis.jpg|thumb|left|Goombas, ghosts, and Ninjis as the audience.]]
Brooding in his cell, Mario begins to try and explain some football plays to a panicking Yoshi, as Cheatsy watches and listens from a nearby peep-hole. On the football field, Cheatsy begins taking admission money from several [[Boo|ghost]]s, [[Ninji]]s, and [[Galoomba|Goomba]]s, while Mario and Yoshi wait patiently in their field-side cell. Suddenly, [[Morton|Big Mouth Koopa]] enters the field and begins to ramble on about the game. Introducing Cheatsy as the game's referee, Big Mouth has a Koopa football player open Mario and Yoshi's cell, letting them out. As a gesture of "good will," Cheatsy allows Mario and Yoshi to do the game's first throw.

Still rambling, Big Mouth is finally silenced by Bully. After Big Mouth is quieted down, Mario and Yoshi, or team "Dome-Heads", face-down their opponents, the "Koopa Karcass Krunchers", which consists of two Koopa football players and Bully Koopa. Yoshi eats one of the Koopa football players; however, the former regurgitates the latter.

Trying to get a touchdown, Mario is knocked out-of-bounds by Bully, who grabs the ball from Mario. Managing to get the ball from Bully, [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi]], instead of running down the field, run-out a nearby hole in the wall. Dodging Koopa football players, Ninjis, ghosts, and a [[Thwomp]], Mario hits a nearby [[? Block]], which releases a [[Super Star|Starman]]. Grabbing this Starman, Mario becomes unstoppable and returns to the football field.

Knocking Big Mouth, Bully, and Cheatsy aside, Mario and Yoshi score a touchdown and perform an overly-long victory dance. A fuming Cheatsy says Mario and Yoshi cheated; ignoring Cheatsy, Mario and Yoshi try to run out a nearby door, only to come face-to-face with a gang of Koopa football players.

Before the Koopa football players can attack, though, they are tackled by a group of Cave People, who had followed Mario and Yoshi's footprints to the Neon Castle. Trying to attack, Bully, Cheatsy, and Big Mouth are knocked back by the Cave People. Running from Neon Castle, Mario, Yoshi, and the Cave People make it back to the Warp Tube and to [[Dome City]].

Brainstorming on how to change Luigi back to normal, one of the Cave People manages to find the wand the Koopa wizard had dropped earlier. With this wand, Mario manages to change Luigi back to his old self. Luigi, confused, proceeds to ask, "Uhhh.... Did I catch the ball?" and then, Mario replies, "What do you mean, catch the ball? You were the ball!"

==Notes==
*The egg [[Luigi]] turns into is the same color scheme of a normal [[Yoshi's Egg]], but with its colors reversed.
*In the original NBC airings, [[Morton|Big Mouth]] narrates the preview by saying, "It's first and ten, and the Koopas have the ball! But this isn't any ordinary ball! It's an egg named Luigi! He's been turned into an egg, and here's the kicker: we're gonna crack him up! Hut, two, three, hike! It's bye-bye, Luigi!"<ref>[https://youtu.be/zwiz2WQR7d8?si=eqPOf8r_aLZ_eAJf&t=45 Super Mario World Cartoon (All Found Episode Previews)]</ref>
