Cave People
Cartoons
Cave People are native humans of Dinosaur Land who have appeared in many episodes of the Super Mario World animated series. The Cave People are generally rather short and stubby in appearence, often having long hair. The only notable Cave Person is Oogtar, who replaces Toad from The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. Cave People appear to be somewhat dumb in comparison to present-day humans. Cave People used to live on Earth but over time have evolved into present day humans, although this is still a controversal subject.
Cave People are also known to inhabit Caveman Land, as seen in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Quest for Pizza". However, only one Cave Person, namely Mugga, was ever seen. The rest were all shown to be Cave Mushrooms, and were essentially primitive Mushroom People.
Comics
Mario has also encountered Cave People in the Club Nintendo Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit who also bare an uncanny resemblence to the Cave People from the Super Mario World animated series.
