While looking around, Mario goes on to say that, though the field is great, he does not think the Cave People would really want to grow crops, as they can simply grab berries off the nearby trees. As Yoshi begins eating some [[Fruit (Yoshi food)|berries]], Princess Toadstool goes on to say that she thinks [[Luigi]]'s idea to teach the Cave People to grow their own food is pretty good. After hearing Princess Toadstool say this, Luigi begins his food-growing lessons. | ||

However, Yoshi, upon seeing a berry, runs slightly too fast and Luigi is dragged along by the hungry dinosaur. Once Yoshi eats the berry and the field is plowed (looking like Yoshi's face), it is revealed that [[Bowser|King Koopa]] and [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy Koopa]] have been spying on everyone. | ||
Upon seeing that Luigi's efforts to teach the Cave People crop-growing is working, Koopa begins to worry; if the Cave People can grow their own food, they will be harder to subjugate. Seeing his father worrying, Cheatsy comes up with an idea: steal all the food the Cave People grow. Without any food, the Cave People will starve and be forced to come to him for food. Thinking this idea to be great, Koopa leaves Cheatsy in charge of things. | Upon seeing that Luigi's efforts to teach the Cave People crop-growing is working, Koopa begins to worry; if the Cave People can grow their own food, they will be harder to subjugate.

Unfortunately, the Cave People take things out of hand and tip over a nearby well, which spills a wave of water over the field, washing Luigi and Yoshi away, much to Cheatsy's amusement. After the water washes away, Mario pulls his trapped brother out of the mud and asks how the farming is going. Luigi replies that it is going great and clomps away through the mud as Yoshi pulls himself from the dirt. | Unfortunately, the Cave People take things out of hand and tip over a nearby well, which spills a wave of water over the field, washing Luigi and Yoshi away, much to Cheatsy's amusement.

Trying to get their comrade down, Cheatsy and the other Gophers are pulled to the surface when Yoshi pulls on the Piranha Plant's stock hard enough to tear it up, with Cheatsy and the Gophers still hanging on to it. Flung right in front of Mario, Cheatsy taunts the two, saying they will never see their crops again. Before either Mario or Luigi can grab him, Cheatsy leaps down a hole dug by his Gopher henchmen, with Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi falling in afterwards. | Trying to get their comrade down, Cheatsy and the other Gophers are pulled to the surface when Yoshi pulls on the Piranha Plant's stock hard enough to tear it up, with Cheatsy and the Gophers still hanging on to it.
