Title- True Colors (11/24/1990)
Worlds- Grass Land, Dark Land
This episode’s about Racism, and to be honest it’s pretty good. I mean it’s silly in that 80’s/90’s cartoon style but it’s all good fun and is a quite good message the fact that dropping paint which changes people’s colour doesn’t change who they are, and neither does their skin colour define who they are. Also the fact that it almost destroys the Mushroom Kingdom through a civil war is pretty good too.
Anyway, I also enjoyed the invasion at the start of the episode and seeing Koopa’s actual fleet of Doomships as opposed to the usual one large one. Finally I loved the fact Koopa was too tired to actually make the plan work anyway, and leaves his kids at the end when he falls asleep and can’t hear them.
Overall a pretty fun episode with a message that isn’t as pretentious as some cartoons make them. Also gotta love that face Mario makes at the very end, it’s like he stares into your soul…
