In a large field, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], [[Yoshi]], and a group of [[Cave People]] are surveying the scenery.

While looking around, Mario goes on to say that, though the field is great, he does not think the Cave People would really want to grow crops, as they can simply grab berries off the nearby trees. As Yoshi begins eating some [[Berry|berries]], Princess Toadstool goes on to say that she thinks [[Luigi]]'s idea to teach the Cave People to grow their own food is pretty good. After hearing Princess Toadstool say this, Luigi begins his food-growing lessons. | ||

Unfortunately Yoshi, upon seeing a berry, runs a bit too fast and Luigi is dragged along by the hungry dinosaur. Once Yoshi eats the berry and the field is plowed (looking like Yoshi's face), it is revealed that [[Bowser|King Koopa]] and [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy Koopa]] have been spying on everyone. | ||
Upon seeing that Luigi's efforts to teach the Cave People crop-growing is working, Koopa begins to worry; if the Cave People can grow their own food, they will be harder to subjugate. Seeing his father worrying, Cheatsy comes up with an idea: steal all the food the Cave People grow. Without any food, the Cave People will starve and be forced to come to him for food. Thinking this idea to be great, Koopa leaves Cheatsy in charge of things. | Upon seeing that Luigi's efforts to teach the Cave People crop-growing is working, Koopa begins to worry; if the Cave People can grow their own food, they will be harder to subjugate.

Unfortunately, the Cave People take things out of hand and tip over a nearby well, which spills a wave of water over the field, washing Luigi and Yoshi away, much to Cheatsy's amusement. After the water washes away, Mario pulls his trapped brother out of the mud and asks how the farming is going. Luigi replies that it is going great and clomps away through the mud as Yoshi pulls himself from the dirt. | Unfortunately, the Cave People take things out of hand and tip over a nearby well, which spills a wave of water over the field, washing Luigi and Yoshi away, much to Cheatsy's amusement.

Seeing Cheatsy and his Gopher minions nearby, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi hear the [[Koopalings|Koopaling]]'s plan to sell all the food he stole from the Cave People back to them at an outrageous price. As Cheatsy begins to sing "[[List of Super Mario World songs#Cheatsy's Life|Cheatsy's Life]]", a self-praising song, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi begin to sneak-up on and grab Cheatsy's Gopher henchmen. | Seeing Cheatsy and his Gopher minions nearby, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi hear the [[Koopalings|Koopaling]]'s plan to sell all the food he stole from the Cave People back to them at an outrageous price.

As Cheatsy sings, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi grab the Gophers one by one. When there are none left, they reveal themselves and revamp the ending of the song. A surprised Cheatsy has no time to get out of the way as Luigi lets go of a rope, which drops Cheatsy's tied-up Gopher minions on top of him. Grabbing the sack filled with food, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi take it over to a nearby Warp Tube and stuff it down before jumping in themselves. Failing to drag himself out from under his bound minions, Cheatsy can only say, "I hate those plumbers..." | As Cheatsy sings, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi grab the Gophers one by one.
