Flatbush Koopa

"Flatbush Koopa" is the forty-eighth animated episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!.
== Plot ==
Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad happily parade through town as the Mushroom People celebrate the defeat of King Koopa. With their enemy finally defeated and the Princess back in her castle, the Marios can finally return home. They jump into a drain pipe and arrive back in Brooklyn.
At first, everything seems okay in Brooklyn but they soon discover the Statue of Liberty has been defaced and a Koopa Troopa is being chased by a police officer. They follow the Koopa Troopa to Coney Island, where they find that King Koopa has taken over and is changing the island's name to Koopa Island. He also intends to conquer the entire state and name it after himself. The Marios are attacked but manage to escape onto a roller coaster. Unfortunately, they are almost rammed by a pack of Koopas on a cart.
Back in the Mushroom Kingdom, Toad and the Princess discuss how bored they are and decide to visit Brooklyn.
The Mario Brothers are almost killed but, in a twist, Toad and the Princess save them. The Mario Bros. insist that their friends leave but they refuse vowing to help rid Brooklyn of King Koopa.
King Koopa leaves his enemies for the moment and instead focuses on his plans of state domination. After he tries to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge with some Bob-ombs, he is confronted by a troop of police officers, but he turns them into bricks with his scepter. The Marios save the officers from being destroyed and King Koopa prepares a Bob-omb to get rid of them, dropping his scepter in the process. Toad steals the scepter and turns the police back into humans so they can chase the Koopa Troopas away. Angered, King Koopa throws the Bob-omb but Mario catches it. Deciding that the only way to save Brooklyn is to get King Koopa to follow them back into the Mushroom Kingdom, Toad taunts the Koopa King by reminding him that he's still got the scepter. King Koopa chases the group back into the Mushroom Kingdom as planned and Mario tosses the Bob-omb into the warp pipe destroying it. However, though Brookyn has been saved, King Koopa has returned and the Marios have to keep fighting him.
== Trivia/Goofs ==
* A cabbie that was turned into bricks is never shown to return to normal, since Bowser and his scepter are trapped in the Mushroom Kingdom the cabbie is apparently stuck that way.
* The same cabbie appears again in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Recycled Koopa".
* The only episode that takes place outside the alternative world the Marios entered, not in a flashback as in "Plummers Academy".
* "Flatbush" is the name of a community in the Borough of Brooklyn, hence the name of the episode.
* While Bowser makes it back into the Mushroom Kingdom, his Koopa Troopas end up trapped in Brooklyn.
* The last episode in which Bowser does not use an alter-ego.
* The only episode that ends with Bowser chasing the protagonists.
