The Venice Menace
While in Desertland, Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool see something unusual exit a warp zone. It's a pizza delivery man and his gondola from Venice, Italy. On top of that, he is fearful of a sea monster lurking in the waters of his home. Feeling an unexplainable connection to Venice, Mario and Luigi set out to investigate – finding the supposed sea monster is the Doomsub with King Koopa and Kootie Pie at the wheel. It turns out that Kootie Pie wants a water park of her very own and Venice will be it once every human is scared away. Can Mario and Luigi foil this scheme, as well as figure out their connection to Venice?

Super Koopa
With Hip & Hop's assistance, Kooky develops a pendant that can re-create all of the Mushroom Kingdom power-ups. One must be in the real world in order to make use it, which gives King Koopa a fiendish idea. With Luigi as bait, King Koopa gets Mario and Princess Toadstool to enter a warp zone to Paris, France. From there, the pendant enables him to easily capture them all. The Koopas are soon running amuck in Paris, but Princess Toadstool manages to get a message to Toad – who had to stay behind. He gets as many power-ups as he can find and brings them to Paris – allowing the Mario Bros. to have a super-showdown with King Koopa.moreless

This episode is currently one of my favorite episodes in the series. Although, to be honest I've only seen the Super Koopa portion of the episode so basically this review covers only that part. Like in the summary, Koopa creates the amulet, takes it to the real world and Mario Bros. and Co follow. They soon find out they can't stop 'em so Toad comes to the rescue with power ups so they can fight fire with fire. . .and star power with star power. . .you get the point. I thought the episode had an interesting plot point. Koopa using the power ups himself, something rarely seen by any enemy in the Mario series, not only cartoon series but the game series as well. So seeing a Fire Koopa, Raccoon Koopa, and Star Koopa(as well as the others 'course) was really interesting to see.moreless
