"'''Do You Princess Toadstool Take this Koopa...?'''" is the nineteenth episode of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' Its corresponding live-action segment is "[[Mario Hillbillies]]".

In the great hall of King Koopa's Castle, the Koopa Troopa with the wedding cake wheels it nearby, as King Koopa's mother says that the wedding should start; after saying this, King Koopa's mother notices that King Koopa is not dressed for his wedding, and immediately has her panicking son leave and get dressed. Leaving the great hall, King Koopa approaches Mouser, who is busy sewing King Koopa's jacket, and tells him to to hurry, or else he will turn him over to his mother. Peaking out from behind a curtain, Mario sees King Koopa and tells the nearby Luigi that he is going to take his magic wand and use it to change Toad back to normal. Setting down his magic wand on a table, King Koopa puts his jacket and pants on and admires himself in a nearby mirror, before leaving with Mouser upon hearing his mother shrieking, accidentally leaving his magic wand behind. With King Koopa and Mouser gone, Mario rushes out from behind the curtain and grabs King Koopa's magic wand, which transforms him into [[Fire Mario|Super Mario]]; with King Koopa's magic wand in his grasp, Mario transforms Luigi into Super Luigi and also changes Toad back to normal, which causes the magic wand to overload and disintegrate. With Toad back to normal, Mario asks him to quickly lead him and Luigi to King Koopa and Princess Toadstool wedding, which Toad surmises is in the castle's great hall.

*[[Toad (species)|Mushroom people]]

*It remains unexplained as to how Mario and Luigi could discern which rock was Toad, as he had no distinguishing features in comparison to all the other rocks that were once Mushroom People; additionally, all the Mushroom People King Koopa changed into rocks are never shown to be changed back, and the scepter that changed them into those rocks was destroyed as well.

*After turning Toad into a stone for the second time, King Koopa's feet are gone.

*When the episode starts, King Koopa is shown on the left of the cage, but when he turns Toad into a rock, he is shown on the right.

*In a shot where the Koopa Troopas are by Princess Toadstool, their eyes were white instead of yellow.

*Mario throws his hat off outside, but has it later inside.

*In a shot focused on King Koopa, a Koopa Troopa's drum has no blue on it.

*When King Koopa starts to squash Mario and Luigi, Luigi is shown at the bottom, but when Koopa disables it, Luigi was shown at the top.

*After Mario and Luigi get into the castle and Mario reminds Luigi about the Princess, Luigi mouths the word 'remember.'

*'''Netflix:''' ''Koopa pressures the Princess into marriage by threatening to turn the Marios into stone. But can he be stopped before she's forced to say, "I do"?''<ref>[https://www.netflix.com/title/70212980 ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'']. ''Netflix''. Retrieved June 22, 2020.</ref>

*This episode was used as a bonus extra on the original 2003 Sterling Entertainment release of the ''[[Wikipedia:Sonic Underground|Sonic Underground]]'' DVD "[[Dr. Eggman|Dr. Robotnik]]'s Revenge", which stars [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]. The print used was from ''[[Mario All Stars]]'', complete with the latter's intro and closing. It was removed from the 2007 NCircle Entertainment reissue of the DVD.

*This is one of the few episodes where the script ends several seconds before the show, with just the music playing. In this particular episode, the ending of the ''Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' theme plays post-script, causing Koopa's defeat to be more dramatic.

*The Netflix description of the episode claims that King Koopa threatens to turn the Mario Bros. to stone if Princess Toadstool refuses to marry him, which was not stated in the episode itself.
