"'''The Wheel Thing'''" is the second episode of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' television series. The title for this episode may be a pun on the phrase "the real thing". This episode is notable for being the first ''Super Mario World'' episode where [[Bowser|King Koopa]] appears. It is also the last episode, as well as the only ''Super Mario World'' episode, where [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky]] has dialogue.

A while later, Mario begins to show [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] his recently constructed car factory. Utilizing things such as [[Fish Bone|Fishbone]]s and [[Piranha Plant]]s, Mario, with the help of Yoshi and the cave people, has managed to construct several [[Galoomba|Goomba]]-powered cars; despite Mario continually stating that his cars are a good idea, Princess Toadstool is still somewhat worried.

After having created several dozen cars, Mario decides to take a nap, only to be awoken several minutes later by a run over Luigi. Luigi explains to Mario that the cave people have no idea how to drive and that the accidents are piling up, quite literally. Mario simply brushes-off Luigi's claims, saying that the cave people will "Catch on".

Outside the walls of Dome City, Kooky reveals his newest invention to [[Bowser|King Koopa]]: the [[Mega Mechanasaur]], a fire-breathing weapon of mass destruction. Boarding the Mega Mechanasaur, Kooky and Koopa proceed to rampage through Dome City, which is now defenseless without Mario and Luigi. A panicking Ooga proceeds to ask Princess Toadstool's help in getting Mario and Luigi back.

A panicking Ooga proceeds to ask Princess Toadstool's help in getting Mario and Luigi back.


Meanwhile in the Lava Pits, Mario and Luigi are trying, quite unsuccessfully, to cook a pizza over a fire. As Luigi cooks the pizza, Mario gets a morse-code message from Princess Toadstool, asking the Mario Bros. to come back and beat King Koopa and Kooky. As Mario and Luigi try and think of a way to get back to Dome City, a [[Blargg]], attracted by the smell of the pizza, attacks the two. As Luigi runs from the Blargg, Mario, using a [[Springboard|trampoline]], manages to get a [[Cape Feather]] and transform into [[Cape Mario]]. In his new form, Mario grabs Luigi and flies up a nearby [[Warp Pipe|Warp Tube]] and back into [[Dome City]].

Through the use of some "log speed-bumps", [[fireball]]-shooting stop-lights and a pot-hole-digging Yoshi, Mega Mechanasaur is destroyed and Kooky and Bowser are forced to flee.
