"King Scoopa Koopa" is the sixth episode of . Synopsis As Princess Toadstool begins serving lunch to Mario and Luigi, Mario begins complaining to the Princess about eating "rabbit-food" again, in other words, vegetable filled sandwiches. Soon after, Mario begins to wonder where Yoshi is, since he never misses lunch. At this realization, Mario, Princess Toadstool and Luigi scurry out of the Dome Castle to investigate. Outside, Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool see a Rex dressed as a chef parading around a sign displaying the message "GRAND OPENING! SCOOPA KOOPA'S FAST FOOD! FREE SAMPLES". At the prospect of free food, Luigi runs up to the Rex chef and grabs a burger off the chef's plate. Luigi announces that it is an egg-burger, which makes Mario wrinkle his nose in disgust (he hates eggs). After Luigi gets his sandwich, Mario spots Yoshi in a line-up for food at a small concession stand, which is run by a Rex and King Koopa himself. Proceeding to order a large amount of food, Yoshi watches as his meal is assembled by several Rexes and Dino-Torches. As Yoshi's food is being made, King Koopa begins to gloat about how he'll make himself rich off causing the cave-people to become addicted to his food, and hinting at the upcoming side effects of the food. Getting his food, Yoshi realizes that he doesn't have any money. An annoyed King Koopa proceeds to threaten Yoshi with being made into special Scoopa Sauce, until Mario intervenes and tells him to back off. Asking how much Yoshi owes, Mario proceeds to give King Koopa the apparently unfair sum of eighteen coins. Leaving King Koopa's concession stand, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Princess Toadstool find a stone table to eat lunch at. As Mario, Luigi and Yoshi scarf down the food, Yoshi and Luigi eating the egg-burgers and Mario wolfing down the fries and shakes, Princess Toadstool states she refuses to eat anything King Koopa's had his dirty claws on. After finishing their meals, the extremely bloated Mario, Luigi and Yoshi decide to get seconds and waddle back over to King Koopa's concession stand. Several days later, Princess Toadstool visits Mario, Luigi and Yoshi, who have all gotten fat off King Koopa's food. Luigi and Yoshi begin exhibiting bird-like behavior, sleeping in bird positions and crowing when they awaken. The Princess, seeing her friends in this condition, forces the three of them into a diet. Mario protests, but can't get off the pile of fry bags he's laying on. Toadstool proceeds to lock them in the Dome Castle to prevent them from going back to Scoopa Koopa. Possibly a day or so afterwards, Princess Toadstool is contacted by Mario. Mario reveals that Luigi and Yoshi have escaped through the open window with their treasure chest of gold coins, and have apparently been mutated by King Koopa's food, having grown several bird-like features including wings, though Toadstool doesn't believe him at first ("Right. They grew wings and flew away. Gimme a break, Mario."). Watching as his customers line up for food, King Koopa begins to realize that once all his costumers have mutated into Chickadactyls, he'll lose his cash flow. It's then that King Koopa realizes he can just cook the Chickadactyls and sell them to dinosaurs with his new idea, "Flew the Koopa's Fried Chickadactyl Stand". After having this thought, King Koopa begins to laugh maniacally, stating "You can never be too rich... or too evil!". Princess Toadstool and Mario manage to track Luigi and Yoshi down and try to talk some sense into them. Unfortunately, Luigi and Yoshi won't listen and attack them, revealing their bird features and knocking the food from Mario and Toadstool's hands, then proceeding to chow down. Suddenly, King Koopa appears, claiming there will be no way to stop his plan of transforming everyone into Chickadactyls after one more day. King Koopa then states to the mutated cave people and his dinosaur employees that Mario and Princess Toadstool plan on taking away their food, and the enraged cave-people and dinosaurs proceed to attack the fleeing Mario and Princess Toadstool. Finding a Fire Flower, Mario manages to turn into Fire Mario and defeat several of King Koopa's dinosaur minions, though Mario is turned back to normal after being hit by a Rex. Mario and Princess Toadstool are forced to flee to the Star Path as they are being chased by dozens of Chickadactyl cave-people. Transported to the ocean, Mario and the Princess manage to evade a Rip Van Fish and enter a nearby Warp Pipe. Exiting the Warp Pipe, Mario and Princess Toadstool find themselves in a cave where King Koopa has been dumping the garbage from his concession stand. Hitting a nearby block, Mario gains a feather and turns into Cape Mario. Climbing up King Koopa's Warp Tube garbage disposal, Mario enters the Scoopa Koopa kitchen and begins to beat up King Koopa's henchmen. Using a Dino-Torch as a flamethrower against Mario, King Koopa ultimately manages to escape by hopping down a nearby Warp Pipe with the money he had stolen. After King Koopa and his minions escape, Princess Toadstool drops King Koopa's Chickadactyls down the pipe as well, saying that now they can be free range birds now. With King Koopa gone, Mario destroys the Koopa King's concession stand and orders everyone to return home and eat some vegetables, "Dr. Mario's orders!". Back home, Luigi and Yoshi, returned to normal, begin eating a healthy meal of vegetables and fruit. Mario accidentally sends a plate flying and remarks "I just invented the tossed salad!"
