The adventures of Super Mario Bros 3 episode 22

Title- 7 Continents for 7 Koopas (11/17/1990)


Worlds- Pipe Land, Earth

I have a feeling that this was originally envisioned as the series finale. This is the ultimate episode just as Germ Wars was for Captain N and Friends to the End was for the Indigo saga of Pokemon. That’s because this episode features a point where the Princess who’s usually being saved by the Mario Bros, saves them and in turn saves the entire world. Basically we get a pretty epic attack from Koopa. He sends all 7 kids to Earth’s 7 continents to wreak havoc. As such we get them doing various things, some petty such as Bully graphitying the Great Wall of China, to more destructive ends such as Hop cutting down the amazon (or maybe some other forest) to make a giant Car park.

Also fun is the way they use enemies such as Bob-ombs and a Chain Chomp to capture the Princess. There were a couple of annoying points. The part where Mario makes the Great wall turn into a dragon which chases away Bully actually would create more havoc than Bully’s original plan. Also the animation goofs with the tv screens are extremely noticeable.

Overall a great episode with a real epic feel. This episode has some real fun moments.
