Kootie Pie Rocks: Difference between revisions

"'''Kootie Pie Rocks'''" is the sixteenth episode of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''; it aired alongside another episode of ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' entitled "[[Do the Koopa]]". [[Milli Vanilli]] guest stars, voicing themselves.

At Kastle Koopa, Milli Vanilli is reluctantly introduced to Kootie Pie. She develops a crush on Rob, and Kootie Pie kisses him several times, which disgusts him. Rob and Fab try to leave, but Kootie Pie tells them that they cannot, and demands for them to perform a private concert just for her right away. When they refuse, Kootie Pie pulls out her [[magic wand]], and threatens to transform Rob and Fab into a pair of accountants, to which the two laugh "Accountants? That is a good one!" Annoyed, Kootie Pie makes good on her threat and transforms Milli Vanilli into accountants, to which they shout out, "No! We are nerds! We are dweebs!" Fab tells Kootie Pie to turn them back to normal, but Kootie Pie refuses and tells them that they are stuck in [[Dark Land]] forever. Rob and Fab try to escape, but two [[Sledge Bro]]thers block the exit.

*At the beginning of the episode, when Cheatsy is spying on the Mario Brothers, Toad, and Princess Toadstool, his face is colored orange when he leaves.

**This also happens when Cheatsy asks "What good side?"

*When Princess Toadstool states "Next stop, the real world!" at the beginning of the episode, her right ear is flashing.

*In some parts of the episode, Rob and Fab's voices are switched.

*Despite Koopa telling Cheatsy he is going to help him capture Milli Vanilli, Cheatsy does absolutely nothing to help him; he only appears in the Doomship.

*During the concert, some of the audience members' clothes flash, such as one lady's pants going from dark green to bright green, but that could be due to stage lighting.

*Some of the audience members have no nose, though this is usually intentional for characters who are farther away from the screen.

*When Mario says, "How come we don't get this kind of applause when we do good plumbing?", Luigi's sideburn is painted green when he turns his head to face Mario.

*In both the beginning of the concert and the ending, a sign outside mistakenly says "Preseting Milli Vanilli" instead of "Presenting Milli Vanilli".

*Luigi's pink bow tie stays the same color for all of the scenes where he is shown with it on, except for the scene when Princess Toadstool exclaims "Whoa, what an exit!", where it is green.

*When Milli Vanilli are brought to Castle Koopa, Cheatsy says "Welcome to Kastle Koopa!" However, he is not seen in the next shot; in fact, he does not appear in the episode at all after the kidnapping in New York.

*When Kootie Pie says to Rob "I really dig your dreadlocks", her eyes are black with white pupils instead of blue with black pupils as they usually are.

*When Kootie Pie threatens to turn Rob and Fab into accountants, the wand is teal, but while they are laughing, the wand turns pink. After transforming them, the wand turns teal again.

*At the end of the episode when the stadium sign is shown, "PRESENTING" is misspelled as "PRESETING".

"Kootie Pie Rocks" was aired just before it was revealed that Milli Vanilli only lip-synched their songs while taking credit for other people's singing. As a result, the songs were cut from reruns of the episode, replaced with the [[Mega Move]] instrumental that also replaced several other songs in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''. Several other changes were made as well, such as any mention of or reference to Milli Vanilli's songs (such as the first half of Koopa's line "Blame on the rain? HA HA! Blame it on King Koopa!", a reference to Milli Vanilli's {{wp|Blame It on the Rain}}) and Mario's line about starting their own band at the end of the episode. However, the original scenes and music remain uncut in the Greek, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, and Brazilian Portuguese versions (the Brazilian Portuguese version even has the songs translated).

*This episode does not open on an in-game screenshot of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', like every other episode of ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''. Instead, it appears on a shot of two clouds. This is also one of the two episodes where the Grass Land intro is played with a down-tempo mix, with the other being, "[[Oh, Brother!]]" where it plays 3 times during the episode.

*This episode initially was going to be named "Strawberry, Chocolate, or Vanilli?"<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070225165353/http://www.shoutfactory.com:80/community/50/thread.aspx]</ref>

*After being transformed into accountants, Rob and Fab are threatened again to be turned into beetles. In response, Rob quips, "Great, who wants to be a band from the 1960s?" a reference to {{wp|The Beatles}}.

*The stadium where the concert takes place looks like {{wp|Shea Stadium}} in [[New York City]], which was the home of Major League Baseball's New York Mets from 1964-2008.

*Mario's made-up traveling backup band, "Backups 'R' We" is a spoof on the toy store chain {{wp|Toys "R" Us}} and its spinoff stores.
