Sayonara is an oriental city appearing in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episodes "Mario Meets Koop-zilla" and "Karate Koopa". It is heavily based on the real-world country Japan.
History[edit]
"Mario Meets Koop-zilla"[edit]
In "Mario Meets Koop-zilla", Sayonara is a modern metropolis filled with large buildings based on Tokyo, the capital city of Japan. While most of the buildings appearing in this iteration of the city are Western-styled, some buildings in the city feature traditional Japanese architecture. Dr. T. Garden's laboratory can be found in this iteration of the city. A mountain greatly resembling Mount Fuji can also be seen in the background of this iteration.
During the episode, King Koopa under the alias of Koop-zilla, terrorizes the city of Sayonara after eating a batch of Dr. T. Garden's Super Sushi. Mario, along with his friends, arrives in the city, and, after eating another batch of Super Sushi that Dr. T. Garden at his laboratory, grows to Koop-zilla's size and begins fighting Koop-zilla. Mario and Koop-zilla's fight causes a lot of destruction in the city, prompting Dr. T. Garden to come up with antidote for the Super Sushi: Super Sushi Shrinker. Towards the end of the episode, Koop-zilla is given a dose of Super Sushi Shrinker by Mario's friends, which shrinks him back to his normal size and forces him to flee through a Warp Zone through the use of a Magical Potion.
"Karate Koopa"[edit]
In "Karate Koopa", Sayonara is an older small feudal town, with all of its buildings constructed using traditional Japanese architecture. Many Ninjis are shown to reside in the older-looking iteration of the town. Misaki's dojo can be found in this iteration of the town, while Karate Koopa's pagoda can be found somewhere outside the town.
During the episode, Mario and his friends arrive in the town searching for Misaki, who they believe can help them defeat King Koopa and save the Mushroom Kingdom. However, the group is soon ambushed by Karate Koopa and the Princess and Toad are captured. To rescue their friends, Mario and Luigi consult Misaki, who proceeds to teach them Plumb-Fu in his dojo.
At the end of the episode, after Mario, Luigi, and Misaki defeat Karate Koopa and rescue the Princess and Toad, the group returns to Misaki's dojo to have a traditional Japanese meal, where he awards Mario and Luigi black belts for their efforts.
Naming[edit]
Sayonara「さようなら」(sayōnara) is Japanese for "goodbye", referring to Koop-zilla destroying the entire city in "Mario Meets Koop-zilla".
