"'''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]].

The next day, Princess Toadstool begins to announce that the science fair is starting and proceeds to introduce the fair's judges: Mario and [[Luigi]]. As the students begin setting up their projects, Hip and Hop begin discussing their own project in a tunnel beneath the school. Having set-up an extensive piping system which goes from Neon Castle to the school, Hip proceeds to tell Hop how to work the pipes. | The next day, Princess Toadstool begins to announce that the science fair is starting and proceeds to introduce the fair's judges: Mario and [[Luigi]].

Confused, Koopa begins to follow the pipe, which leads to the nearby [[Warp Pipe|Warp Tube]] to [[Dome City]]. Becoming increasingly suspicious, he jumps into the Warp Tube. | ||
At school, Hip begins to show-off his volcano project, which is quite spectacular and impresses everyone present. Oogtar, jealous of Hip's project, begins to dump excessive amounts of fertilizer on his and Yoshi's "eggabega". Unbeknownst to anyone, the fertilizer causes the Piranha Plant hidden in the eggabega's leaves to grow instead. | At school, Hip begins to show-off his volcano project, which is quite spectacular and impresses everyone present.

Outside the school, | Outside the school, Koopa exits the Warp Tube and, seeing he is at the [[Dome City]] school, instantly realizes that Hip and Hop disobeyed him. He then finds Hop next to a lever that controls the [[lava]] that flows through Hip's volcano. When Koopa picks up Hop, Hop tells Koopa that he does not belong here. Koopa says that he does not either and says to him that as he gets Hop and his brother Hip home, they will be in big trouble. However, when Koopa picks up Hop, Hop accidentally spins the lever out of control. Hip's volcano begins spurting huge amounts of lava without Hop to steady the flow. | ||
Everyone makes it out, though the school becomes destroyed by the lava. The giant Piranha Plant has also escaped and begins going on a rampage, wanting King Koopa as its meal. He, along with Hip and Hop, attempts to flee but they all get eaten by the Piranha Plant.
