Line 19: Line 19:
[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] are all traveling through the [[Linguini Empire]] in a horse-pulled chariot/bathtub; it seems they had all been invited to a benefit spaghetti dinner, the proceeds of which would go to [[Toad (species)|Mushroom]] orphans.
[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] are all traveling through the [[Linguini Empire]] in a horse-pulled chariot/bathtub; it seems they had all been invited to a benefit spaghetti dinner, the proceeds of which would go to [[Toad (species)|Mushroom]] orphans.


Using a telescope, Mario sees the nearby [[Linguini Empire Colosseum]] and asks Luigi if they can make the bathtub go any faster. Luigi responds to Mario's question by telling him to relax while Princess Toadstool says that the emperor of the Linguini Empire must be a wonderful person to raise money for orphans and that she can't wait to meet him.

As an excited Mario says that he can't wait to attend that spaghetti dinner, [[Bowser|King Koopa]], up above on a cliff, tells [[Tryclyde|Tryclydius]] of his plans to trap Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool. Eventually becoming annoyed with Tryclydius' idiotic ramblings about destroying Mario and Luigi, King Koopa violently yanks him away from the cliff top.

Arriving at the town surrounding the Linguini Empire Colosseum, Luigi tells Mario, Toad and Princess Toadstool that they have arrived ahead of time and still have a half an hour until the spaghetti dinner. As Mario says he can't wait that long until eating, the ground around the colosseum begins to rumble. Believing an earthquake is occurring, Mario's group take cover, but look up and see a gigantic man standing before them.

==Animation and continuity errors==
*The color of Tryclydius' sword continually switches from being gray to blue. Additionally, in several scenes, Koopa's shell disappears and reappears several times.
*When [[Tryclyde|Tryclidius]] says that he does not know why [[Bowser|King Koopa]] has to tell him three times for him to understand, his eyelids are colored white like his eyes instead of red.
*King Koopa's laurel wreath continuously flashes on and off throughout the episode.
*Throughout the episode, Tryclydius's sword and [[Brutius Maximus Grouchimus|Brutius]]'s skin change color several times.
*Although Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad arrived in a bathtub (drawn by a horse), a normal chariot was seen in the dungeon, and remained as a normal chariot for the remainder of the episode.
*Throughout the episode, [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s shell and laurel wreath disappear several times.
*Brutius' skin complexion changes from a light shade of peach to a tan state throughout the episode.
*When [[Toad]] reconsiders being called a creature, his vest is white like his cap instead of red.
*After Tryclyde was defeated by Mario and Luigi, his eyes (visible from one head) were still open as he lay on the ground.
*When [[Mario]] and his friends escape the [[Linguini Empire Colosseum|crumbling colosseum]], [[Luigi]] is missing.
*It is unknown how Luigi survived the crumbling coliseum (due to being off-screen for that scene), as he was never shown to have escaped with Mario, Princess Toadstool, and Toad.
*When Mario tells [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] to duck, Princess Toadstool's dress is miscolored.
*When Toad questions if Brutius Maximus Grouchimus is the emperor, his vest is black and the spots on his cap are a much darker shade of red.
*When King Koopa lands in the arena, the rings around the spikes on his shell are the same color as the shell itself.
*When King Koopa says ''"Three heads are better than two!"'', his shell disappears for a few frames.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The copyrighted title for the episode in the {{wp|United States Copyright Office}} is "'''The Great gladiator'''".
*While hiding behind a rock, [[Bowser|Emperor Koopa]] says "''Guest who's coming to dinner?''" This is a reference to the 1967 romance comedy-drama of the {{wp|Guess Who's Coming to Dinner|same name}}.
*The episode is erroneously called "'''Bonkers form Yonkers'''" on WildBrain's official YouTube channel<ref name="a">[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ksY4WaqtXmM ''Super Mario Brothers Super Show 106 - Bonkers form Yonkers'']. ''YouTube''. Retrieved April 21, 2020."</ref>, a misspelling of the accompanying live action episode "Bonkers from Yonkers".
*King Koopa's alias of Emperor Augustus Septemberus Octoberus Koopa is a pun on the name "Augustus," which was a name of all [[Rome|Roman]] Emperors, and the month of August, as it also includes the months of September and October.
