Title- Gopher Bash (11/9/1991)
Worlds- Dinosaur Land
I really quite like this episode. We have Luigi in another starring role, Yoshi actually is used like a farm animal in this episode, which is pretty good as his role in the original game was essentially an item. Also the cavepeople kinda get really annoying here. It makes you wish they at least made one or two Yoshi’s appear, or dinosaurs or anything but these, well essentially retards (I’m not trying to cause offence, but it’s really the only way to describe them.)
We also get the only appearance of Monty Moles in this episode and the return of Cheatsy. I like the way Koopa just tells Cheatsy to cause trouble then disappears the rest of the episode, kinda makes you wonder whether he just sends his kids off to attack for a moments peace.
Finally I gotta say that it’s pretty graphic seeing Yoshi trying to eat the last Piranha plant, then in the tug of war between Yoshi and the Moles he rips the plants head off, I mean it would be fine if it weren’t for the fact it’s made clear the plant’s at least sentient. Overall a pretty good episode.
