"'''Up, Up, and a Koopa'''" is the twenty-first episode of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''; it aired alongside another episode of ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' entitled "[[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]]". The episode's name is a pun on "Up, up and away" and marks the only appearance of P-Wings in the entire series.

 

In [[Toad]]'s house, Toad is in the middle of cooking some food on his oven, which, after some stirring, he places in a bowl and gives to the nearby [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]. Taking the bowl of food from Toad, Princess Toadstool glances at it and and says to Toad that she thought he was going to make her some bran; after saying this, the Princess gets the response from Toad that he was out of bran, but he did have some hay. As Toad explains this, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], who are nearby, say that at least Toad's pancakes look edible and light and proceed to begin to eat the pancakes. As Mario and Luigi eat the pancakes, everything in Toad's house begins to rise to the house's ceiling, including Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool. Watching as his furniture crashes into the roof of his ceiling, Toad accidentally bangs his head on the ceiling and begins to wonder what is going on.

*The mushroom heads imprinted on the bowl of hay are first magenta when Toad hands the bowl to Princess Toadstool, but turn white when everything begins to rise towards the ceiling.

*The color scheme of the Kooper-Dooper Raiser-Upper inverts to brown in zoomed out shots of it, but becomes pink whenever the screen zooms in on it.

*When Kooky is shown in the first shot, his head was the same color as his hair.

**The design scheme also differs whenever the screen zooms in, for the Raiser-Upper appears to have much more buttons and a completely different lever (before Kooky upgrades it).

*The color of Toad's house changes between orange and purple throughout various shots.

*As Princess Toadstool comments about her about to hit the ceiling as the house ascends, the noticeable wall in the background behind Mario and Luigi is incorrectly colored as the sky, with the window pane floating in midair.

**This occurs again at the end of the episode when Luigi wonders what was going on before he was so "rudely interrupted".

*The path leading up to Toad's house unexplainably reappears right before Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad walk out side to see all the commotion.

*Right as Emperor Ed lands on Toad after crashing to the ground, Toad's cap (visible from underneath Ed) is purple.

**Also, as Princess Toadstool questions if Toad is alright, Toad's voice is slightly deeper than normal.

*When Mario and Luigi are breaking blocks in the forest, the sound effects of them breaking are heard but they are not breaking until the next shot.

*After Kooky finishes fixing the Raiser-Upper, one of his pupils is out of place.

*As the newly-upgraded Kooper-Dooper Raiser-Upper fires upon the Mushroom Kingdom a second time, Toad's voice can be heard but he is nowhere visible.

*The tractor beam firing from the Doomship is incorrectly coming from the upper deck (near the pipe) instead of coming from inside.

*The Fudjie bar Mario uses to attempt to bribe the Rocky Wrench has no label on it before the camera zooms in on it.

**The bar of fudge instantly vanishes from the shot once the enraged Rocky Wrench lobs its wrenches at Mario and Luigi.

*When Mario scoffs at the enraged Rocky Wrench for trying to hurt him and Luigi, the top of the cage is transparent, except for the few lines hovering above Mario.

*Toad's vest is almost a pinkish hue when he remarks to Princess Toadstool about how cluttered her dungeon is, becomes the original red, then becomes pink as the basement begins to violently vibrate.

*Albeit Princess Toadstool dubs it a ''golden'' chest hidden in the secret room of the basement, the chest first appears to be blue with a silver rim.

**Additionally, the pink "light" around the chest overlaps Princess Toadstool's hair when she opens it, with the silhouette of the chest being visible from behind her head.

*It is unknown how Princess Toadstool and Toad can glide with the P-Wings if they aren't moving their raccoon tails.

*The four speakers that emerge from hatches on the Doomship first appear to be in this order (according to shape): circle, circle, circle, triangle- but when Koopa offers the Mushroom people to surrender, the speaker shapes transform to: triangle, circle, circle, triangle.

*As King Koopa pokes his head outside the Doomship's porthole, the wood of the flying ship is slightly dark in color.

**In that same shot, King Koopa's left hand is missing a nail as he pokes his arm out the porthole.

*Emperor Ed's sash is mistakenly colored blue, the same color as his uniform, as he boycotts Bowser's rule against Sky Land.

*A very small portion of King Koopa's stomach is flashing onto Kooky's hair as he comments that the Kooper-Dooper Raiser-Upper has been fixed to chaos mode.

*The "P" on Toad's chest (after acquiring the P-Wing) is absent when Toad alerts the gang of the presence of his house floating nearby.

*As King Koopa gloats over the capture of both kingdoms, Kooky is oddly frozen for the entire shot.

*If everything has been placed back onto the ground as normal (including the house), it is questionable why the view outside the window in Toad's house is at a high altitude.

*The syrup on Luigi's pancakes is the same color as the pancakes as Mario reminds Luigi about breakfast.

**Additionally Mario incidentally has no pancakes on his plate before the screen zooms in, but has a large pile the shot goes to him and Luigi.

***As Luigi shoves the pile of pancakes into his mouth humorously, the syrup is not present on the pancakes.
