"'''Count Koopula'''" is the fifteenth episode of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]''. Its corresponding live-action segment is "[[Magician | "'''Count Koopula'''" is the fifteenth episode of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' This episode is a parody of the story ''{{wp|Dracula}}'', with [[Bowser|Count Koopula]] playing the part of the story's titular character and main antagonist, {{wp|Count Dracula}}. Additionally, [[Mouser|Mousigor]] is a reference to {{wp|Igor (character)|Igor}}/Fritz from the ''{{wp|Frankenstein}}'' series of films. Additionally, [[Turtlevania]] is based on the country of {{wp|Transylvania}}. Finally, [[Wereturtle]]s are a parody of {{wp|werewolf|werewolves}}. Its corresponding live-action segment is "[[Magician]]." This episode is also notable for being the last episode in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' to use {{wp|traditional animation|cel animation}}, as it would transition to {{wp|traditional animation|digital ink and paint}} halfway through the episode, also making it the first episode not only in the show's production order, but also of any [[DIC Entertainment]] television series, to use digital ink and paint. | ||

As she runs, Princess Toadstool complains that she is freezing and wonders whether she, Mario, Luigi and Toad will find some shelter to sleep in. Hearing Princess Toadstool's worries, Mario reassures her, saying a motel of some kind must be nearby. | ||
In a nearby [[ | In a nearby [[Chateau Koopula|dark castle]], [[Bowser|Count Koopula]] is glaring through a telescope at the approaching Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool. Turning away from his telescope, Count Koopula, after cackling to himself, calls [[Mousigor]] into the room, telling him to prepare some rooms for the quickly approaching Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool. After giving Mousigor his orders, Count Koopula turns to a nearby pole with a bizarre looking [[Tweeter Bat]] hanging on it; waking the Tweeter Bat, Count Koopula orders it to go outside and lure Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool to his castle. Hearing Count Koopula's command, the Tweeter unfolds its bat-like wings and flies outside a nearby window (Count Koopula moves the telescope aside before it flies out), into the stormy night. | ||
Under a large tree near some rocks, Luigi is in the midst of trying to get Mario to share some of his leftover [[spaghetti]], which Mario refuses to do; (for he had 3 orders of spaghetti as opposed to Luigi, who only had 1). It is only after some convincing by Luigi and Princess Toadstool that Mario decides to share some of his spaghetti, which he hands to Luigi. Unfortunately, just as Mario gives Luigi his spaghetti, the Tweeter Bat from earlier suddenly dives downward and grabs the box of spaghetti. As the Tweeter Bat begins trying to fly away, Mario leaps through the air and grabs hold of the Tweeter's legs. | Under a large tree near some rocks, Luigi is in the midst of trying to get Mario to share some of his leftover [[spaghetti]], which Mario refuses to do; (for he had 3 orders of spaghetti as opposed to Luigi, who only had 1).

As the Tweeter Bat begins to soar away with Mario holding on to it, Toad grabs hold of Mario, while Luigi and Princess Toadstool grab him (causing the weight of the latter to literally stretch Toad). Luigi, Princess Toadstool, Mario and Toad's effort to pull the Tweeter Bat down is in vain though, as the creature simply shakes them loose and flies towards the castle of Count Koopula, with the box of spaghetti being clutched in its talons. | As the Tweeter Bat begins to soar away with Mario holding on to it, Toad grabs hold of Mario, while Luigi and Princess Toadstool grab him (causing the weight of the latter to literally stretch Toad).

Scoffing at Luigi's fear, Mario goes on to ring the castle doorbell, which creates a loud ominous chime. | ||

After stating this, Mousigor instructs Mario, Toad, Princess Toadstool and an increasingly nervous Luigi to follow him. | ||
As Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool travel down a hallway of the castle, Luigi notices that the odd paintings adorning the walls of the hallway have moving eyes; alerting Mario and Princess Toadstool to this, Luigi is shocked to see the paintings have lost their moving eyes and now have blank, white ones. Mario then scoffs at Luigi's beliefs as the gang trudges down the hallway shortly behind Mousigor. | As Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool travel down a hallway of the castle, Luigi notices that the odd paintings adorning the walls of the hallway have moving eyes; alerting Mario and Princess Toadstool to this, Luigi is shocked to see the paintings have lost their moving eyes and now have blank, white ones.

Entering this secret passage, Toad, after some walking, notices several spy holes in the wall and looks through two of them and sees Mario and Luigi, pounding frantically on their room door.

Before anyone can react though, the door of the room is suddenly inexplicably forced open, revealing Count Koopula; as Count Koopula announces that his dinner is served, Mousigor appears from inside the secret passage and begins to taunt Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool. Panicking, Toad slams the door of the secret passage closed on Mousigor's face and, after removing the lid of a clothes chute and jumping down it, instructs Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool to follow. | ||
Plummeting down the clothes shoot at high speeds, Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool are eventually deposited in what appears to be the castle cellar. Getting off the ground, Luigi suddenly alerts Mario, Luigi and Toad to a bizarre noise, which is being emanated by several rapidly approaching [[Spider (The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!)|spiders]] resembling [[Snifit]]s. Backed against a wall as these spiders approach, Princess Toadstool, seeing a nearby [[Piranha Plant]] in a pot sitting on a window's ledge, quickly grabs it; holding the Piranha Plant in front of herself, Princess Toadstool manages to goad it into blasting the spiders with its [[fireball]]s, causing them to scurry away. | Plummeting down the clothes shoot at high speeds, Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool are eventually deposited in what appears to be the castle cellar.

With the spiders gone, Princess Toadstool puts the Piranha Plant in the pot down and pats it on the head (it even curls up and blushes from the affection of Toadstool) as Mario inspects a bottle on a nearby, wooden rack; as Mario discerns that the bottle contains tomato sauce, Princess Toadstool alerts him, Luigi and Toad that something is happening outside, which prompts Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool to all look through a window.

Outside, on a hill overshadowed by the [[moon]], Count Koopula has four [[Koopa Troopa]]s stand at attendance and tells them to gaze at the full moon; as the Koopa Troopas stare at the full moon, they suddenly mutate into monstrous creatures Luigi exclaims are [[Wereturtle]]s. | ||
After the Wereturtles' transformation is complete, Count Koopula orders them to capture Mario, Luigi and Toad, but specifically tasks them not to hurt Princess Toadstool. As the Wereturtles begin to travel towards the castle, Toad gets the idea of covering the floor beneath a nearby door with tomato sauce and tells Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool to help him do just that. After bounding through the corridors of the castle, the Wereturtles burst through the door of the room Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool are in, only to slip on the puddle of tomato sauce at the bottom of the stairs; sliding across the floor, the Wereturtles crash into a nearby rack of tomato sauce bottles, which falls over on them, pinning the Wereturtles to the floor. | After the Wereturtles' transformation is complete, Count Koopula orders them to capture Mario, Luigi and Toad, but specifically tasks them not to hurt Princess Toadstool.

With the Wereturtles incapacitated, Toad finds a trapdoor in the cellar floor, with a staircase in it; as Luigi voices his concerns about going down these ominous looking stairs, a Wereturtle gets to its feet and prepares to attack Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool. Before the Wereturtle can do anything though, Toad taunts it and throws a tomato sauce bottle at it, which lands in the Wereturtles throat, causing it to choke. With the Wereturtle distracted, Toad, Luigi, Mario and Princess Toadstool flee through the trapdoor. | With the Wereturtles incapacitated, Toad finds a trapdoor in the cellar floor, with a staircase in it; as Luigi voices his concerns about going down these ominous looking stairs, a Wereturtle gets to its feet and prepares to attack Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool.

Getting off the ground, Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool see several [[Goomba]]s nearby, who are crushing tomatoes on a conveyor belt and depositing the mush they create in a large vat of tomato juice. Seeing that the Goombas, who are apparently [[Goomba (zombie)|zombie]]s, are distracted by their work, Princess Toadstool, Luigi, Toad and Mario try to sneak by them; unfortunately, Mario decides to taste some of the Goomba's tomato sauce and, after saying that it needs more garlic, accidently quickly alerts the Goombas to his, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool's presence. | ||
Attempting to run from the zombified Goombas, who are throwing tomatoes at them, Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool find the exit to the room blocked by Count Koopula and his Wereturtles. As Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool stand horrified in place, Count Koopula orders his abominable minions to take Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool to "Count Koopula's Torture Chamber, Wax Museum, and Dungeon of Horrors". | Attempting to run from the zombified Goombas, who are throwing tomatoes at them, Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool find the exit to the room blocked by Count Koopula and his Wereturtles.

In the bowels of Count Koopula's castle, Mario, Luigi and Toad are all strapped to various torture devices; Toad is on a stretching rack, Luigi is strapped to the wall while being tickle tortured with a feather, and Mario receives waterboarding. As Mario, Luigi and Toad writhe in agony, the nearby Count Koopula begins to taunt Princess Toadstool, saying that, soon, she will be a tomato sauce vampire like him. After making this threat to Princess Toadstool, Count Koopula drags her away, up a flight of stairs despite her saying that she hates tomatoes. | In the bowels of Count Koopula's castle, Mario, Luigi and Toad are all strapped to various torture devices; Toad is on a stretching rack, Luigi is strapped to the wall while being tickle tortured with a feather, and Mario receives waterboarding.

As Count Koopula and Princess Toadstool leave, Mario, who is having an excessive amount of water poured on his face, begins complaining about his hatred of leaks and bemoaning his fate. As Mario complains, Mousigor enters the room and begins to make jeers at Mario; seeing Mousigor enter the room, Toad, who is being stretched on a rack, gets an idea and begins to beg Mousigor to stop his torture. Taunting Toad, Mousigor begins to spin the wheel of his rack, causing it to stretch Toad to extremes.

Up in the chambers of Count Koopula, Count Koopula is preparing to transform Princess Toadstool into a tomato sauce vampire, while outside of Count Koopula's room, Mario and Toad begin to discuss how they can defeat Count Koopula. At first, Toad suggest that a stake be shoved into Count Koopula's chest, though Mario misinterprets Toad and believes he means actual, edible steak. Toad eventually gets the idea to use garlic against Count Koopula, after remembering that the tomato sauce the Goombas from earlier were making had no garlic in it. Thinking Toad's idea to be great, Mario removes some garlic from his overalls and after eating some himself, gives some to Luigi and Toad to eat. | Up in the chambers of Count Koopula, Count Koopula is preparing to transform Princess Toadstool into a tomato sauce vampire, while outside of Count Koopula's room, Mario and Toad begin to discuss how they can defeat Count Koopula.
