**Return of the Koopa King** is the first episode of the fourth season of Bowser's Koopalings and the 25th episode overall. In this episode, in a flashback after his father passed away, Prince Bowser is about to be the next King, but then disappeared without a trace as he got a personal road block standing in his way, being none other than his cousin, Tyson Koopa.

It's the first episode of the series as well as the first video altogether by FreezeFlame22 to be edited in Adobe Premiere Pro instead of Windows Movie Maker due to the editor constantly not working, causing several delays and so forth. This would also be the only time SeanTheActor provided voice work for FreezeFlame22. Its premise is also based off of *The Lion King*.

## Trivia

* SeanTheActor was casted as Captain Toad and Green Toad as a suggestion by AzUrArInG, who saw the cast results that were made back in late 2018 and felt sorry for him since the roles he got accepted at the time for (Spike and Bob-Omb Buddy) ended up not being used, where he hasn't been used at all in-between. As such AzUrArInG asked FreezeFlame22 if he could possibly give planned roles to Sean since he didn't want him to be left forgotten about, Freeze eventually did accept it and thus Sean got those two roles.
* Mario Mario was originally going to be the main antagonist and try to marry Princess Peach Toadstool but was scrapped and replaced by Tyson Koopa.
