In this episode, [[Luigi]] tells [[Yoshi]] the story of how the former met the latter. It mostly takes place at the beginning of the show's story, serving as a prequel, and is Yoshi's origin story, where Luigi takes care of Yoshi. They later find [[Mario]], and they go to [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s [[Bowser's Castle#Super Mario World|Neon Castle]] to save [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]. During the story, Luigi and Yoshi commentate on the events in the story, with the episode occasionally cutting back to the present. This is the last animated episode based on the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, since no episodes have been produced by [[DIC Entertainment|DIC]] or any other company since the cancelation of ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'' on NBC in 1991. | ||
This episode also marks the only appearance of several enemies in a ''Super Mario'' cartoon, including [[Banzai Bill|Magnum Bill]]s, [[Sumo Bro|Fire Sumo]]s, [[Urchin]]s, [[Blurp]]s, and [[Torpedo Ted]]s, as well as [[Lava Lift|Skull Rafts]], [[Yoshi's Egg]]s, [[Dolphin]]s, and [[Skewer]]s. | |||

Luigi goes on to tell the story: After banishing King Koopa from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool decided to go on a vacation in [[Dinosaur Land|Dinosaur World]]. While exploring Dinosaur World, they visit [[Dome City]], which is deserted. Looking around, Princess Toadstool is suddenly grabbed by a pair of [[Chargin' Chuck|Koopa football players]]. Mario gets attacked by a [[Magikoopa|Koopa Wizard]], who shoots magic at him. As he runs away, a [[Banzai Bill|Magnum Bill]] flies after him, causing Mario to run away in a different direction. Luigi faces a [[Sumo Bro|Fire Sumo]], which stomps the ground, causing a fissure that Luigi falls into. | Luigi goes on to tell the story: After banishing King Koopa from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool decided to go on a vacation in [[Dinosaur Land|Dinosaur World]].

Luigi jumps on the caterpillar and picks up Yoshi. The caterpillar growls at them and walks towards them, and it is joined by multiple others. Luigi loudly calls out for help from Mario. The scene cuts back to the present, where Yoshi comments on how he loves caterpillars. Luigi asks, "Hey, who's telling this story?" as the scene cuts back to the past. Yoshi eats all the caterpillars, defeating them. | ||
Mario runs in, having heard his brother's cries for help. He is quickly eaten by Yoshi. Panicking, Luigi convinces Yoshi that Mario is not an enemy, and Yoshi spits him out. Luigi and Mario clean off the saliva on Mario. After Luigi tells Mario not to mess with Yoshi, Yoshi proceeds to leap into Luigi's arms and lick his face, calling him "mama" again, much to Mario's amusement. After he is finished laughing, Mario tells Luigi that he had escaped King Koopa's [[Bowser's Castle|Coney Island Disco Palace]] but was unable to aid the princess in escaping as well.

Tracking Yoshi down, Mario and Luigi find him near a [[fireball]]-belching [[Bowser Statue]]. As Mario and Luigi attempt to dodge the fireballs, Yoshi eats them and manages to shut down the statue by spitting fire on it. After he destroys the statue, a secret passageway opens, which Yoshi ventures down as Mario and Luigi follow him. Yoshi nonchalantly walks down a hallway, unaware of the large [[Skewer]]s shooting out of the ceiling. Pushing Yoshi out of the way of a spike, Luigi gets flattened.

Quickly climbing over the fence, Mario bashes the football player on the head, only for it to split into three. Tackling Mario and knocking him into Luigi, making them roll into a ball, the Koopa football players are all eaten at once and subsequently spat out by Yoshi, who enters Bowser's throne room. Following Yoshi, who eats a piece of tapestry on the wall, into King Koopa's personal chambers, Mario and Luigi are attacked by a gang of [[Mechakoopa]]s, who are directed by King Koopa from behind a pillar. While running from the Mechakoopas, Mario and Luigi discover that Yoshi has eaten everything in King Koopa's throne room. Koopa enters and, angered at them for his throne room being ruined, orders the Mechakoopas to attack them. However, they are saved by Yoshi, who eats the Mechakoopas. Seeing how much Yoshi has eaten, Mario warns King Koopa, saying that if he does not hand over Princess Toadstool, Yoshi is going to eat all of Neon Castle "piece by piece." | Quickly climbing over the fence, Mario bashes the football player on the head, only for it to split into three.

King Koopa states that he can build another castle, but Mario and Luigi cannot build another princess, and he is unfazed by their threat due to them being unable to gain the [[key]] needed to release Princess Toadstool. Just then, Yoshi eats it out of his hand. Without the key, King Koopa vows revenge and flees into a nearby Warp Pipe. Praising Yoshi, Luigi quickly asks him if he can spit out the key, which he does, right into a nearby [[keyhole]]. Once the key enters the keyhole, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Princess Toadstool are suddenly transported to Dome City, safe and sound. | King Koopa states that he can build another castle, but Mario and Luigi cannot build another princess, and he is unfazed by their threat due to them being unable to gain the [[key]] needed to release Princess Toadstool.
