"'''Born to Ride'''" is the seventh episode of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series. This episode could be seen as a commentary on peer pressure and particularly street gangs, an issue that was on the rise at the time in the early 1990s. The episode title may be a reference to the film ''{{wp|Born to Ride (film)|Born to Ride}}'', released in the same year. This episode is notable for being the last episode to be paired with ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'', due to the series' cancelation. This episode also marks the debut of [[Yoshi]]'s new design, being redesigned with a more anthropomorphic appearance that more closely resembles his official game artwork. Despite this, "[[The Night Before Cave Christmas]]" (episode 411), produced after this episode (406), uses his original design.

Becoming furious at Yoshi, Mario and Luigi yell at him and tell him to stay out of their way while they're on the job. After this scolding, a disheartened Yoshi decides to run away and leave [[Dome City]]. As Yoshi, taking what little possessions he has, leaves Dome City, he encounters a rabid [[Wiggler|Caterpillar]], which he quickly gobbles up. After eating the caterpillar, Yoshi is approached by three motorcycle-riding dinosaurs. The bikers introduce themselves as Duke, Lulu, and Rockman, the [[Dino Riders]]; after introductions are done, Yoshi asks the Dino Riders if he can be a biker like them. At first Duke, the leader of the Dino Riders, is hesitant, but when Yoshi mentions he knows Mario and Luigi, Duke gladly lets Yoshi join, planning on using him to get to Mario and Luigi so he can capture them and turn them over to [[Bowser|King Koopa]] for a reward.

Deciding that Yoshi needs to pass a "test" before joining the Dino Riders, Duke orders Yoshi to vandalize a dome-house with paint. Yoshi is about to eat the paint until Duke whacks him on the head, and he vandalizes the house with a smiley face instead, displeasing Rockman and Lulu. Yoshi is then given a [[Bob-omb]] but hesitates. Lulu takes his arm and forces him to throw the Bob-omb inside, revealing to be a [[Smell Bob-omb]] upon detonation. After doing these deeds, Yoshi is made an "official" member of the Dino Riders by Duke and given a biker helmet and jacket. After giving Yoshi these items, Duke tells Yoshi to tell Mario and Luigi to meet him at the [[Tar Pit Milk Bar]], saying that he, Rockman and Lulu are going to "teach the Mario Bros. a lesson" for "disrespecting" Yoshi earlier.
