Title- Princess Toadstool for President (9/22/1990)
Worlds- Grass Land, Dark Land
I love this episode. It’s got everything, cameos, Koopa at his best, even Dark Land. Let’s go through the plot which I’ve read is a direct copy of a similar Sonic episode. Basically Koopa wants to take over the Mushroom Kingdom with a couple of giant Para Goombas. Why not? Anyway, Mario and Luigi literally crush his plans and the Princess challenges Koopa to an election. Koopa egotistical as he is, accepts. Koopa remains the centre of attention which is usually taken over by his kids in other episodes, but this time it’s about Koopa. Seeing Koopa as a nice guy’s pretty funny, he looks as though he’s high lol.
We get to see a lot more of Dark Land too, which is all of the baddies country. This means we get to see Koopa’s tank force with some Rocky Wrenches, then down the pipe into the fire pit which has Fire Chomps, Fire Snakes and even one of those candle flames that chase you when your backs turned.
Also I love the violence involved in the election, I mean the princess nearly gets crushed to death.
Overall this is one of the best episodes of the show and features much of Dark Land that you’d never usually see. It also goes well with it’s partnered episode.
