"'''A Little Learning'''" is the twelfth and penultimate episode of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series. | "'''A Little Learning'''" is the twelfth and penultimate episode of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series. The parts leading up to the science fair can be seen as commentary on bullying in school and how it is often ignored by adults, such as when [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] punishes [[Oogtar]] for fighting with [[Lemmy Koopa|Hip]] and [[Iggy Koopa|Hop]]. The episode marks the final animation appearance of the [[Koopalings]] and [[Oogtar]]. Chronologically, this is also the final appearance of [[Bowser|King Koopa]], [[Mario]], and Princess Toadstool, though they appear in the series finale, "[[Mama Luigi]]," in Luigi's story set before the events of the series). Additionally, this is the only episode of any ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' cartoon where [[Luigi]] does not have dialogue, the only ''Super Mario World'' episode where Hip and Hop have dialogue, and Princess Toadstool's last speaking role in a ''Super Mario'' cartoon. | ||

While [[Lemmy Koopa|Hip]] and [[Iggy Koopa|Hop Koopa]] watch from the bushes, Oogtar hands Princess Toadstool an [[apple]]. Taking a bite of this apple, Princess Toadstool hurls it away in disgust, as it has a small [[Wiggler|Caterpillar]] in it. An angry Princess Toadstool proceeds to order Oogtar and Yoshi into the schoolhouse. | ||
Seeing Oogtar, Yoshi, and the Princess go into school, Hip and Hop try to follow them, only to be grabbed by [[Bowser|King Koopa]]. The angry Koopa king proceeds to tell Hip and Hop they are forbidden to go to school, believing school will turn the [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] twins into "goodie two-shoes". As Koopa makes Hip and Hop promise not to go to school, he fails to notice Hip and Hop crossing their fingers as they make this promise. | Seeing Oogtar, Yoshi, and the Princess go into school, Hip and Hop try to follow them, only to be grabbed by [[Bowser|King Koopa]].
