"'''The Wheel Thing'''" is the second episode of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' television series. The title for this episode may be a pun on the phrase "the real thing." It is notable for being the first appearance of [[Bowser|King Koopa]] in ''Super Mario World'', and is also the only episode in this series where [[Ludwig|Kooky]] has dialogue. | |||

After getting an idea, Kooky runs off while Mario and Luigi begin to transport the wheels they constructed outside. Outside, Mario runs into two cave people, Ugga and Ooga. He then proceeds to hand some wheels over to the two. The two cave people, not understanding what to do with the wheels, wear them as hats, much to Mario's dismay. | ||
While Mario tries to explain the concept of wheels to Ugga and Ooga, Luigi approaches the nearby, napping [[Yoshi]], who proceeds to eat the wheel Luigi was carrying.

After burning some holes into some wheels with a [[Fire Flower]], Mario, using a wooden rod and stone slab, manages to make a stone skateboard. | ||
Hopping on this skateboard, Luigi zooms around several amazed cave people. An overly-excited Yoshi ends up hopping on Luigi's back, wanting a ride. This added weight causes Luigi to crash, Yoshi to fall to the ground and the skateboard to be flung into the air; as the skateboard begins to fall to the ground, Yoshi happily gobbles it up, proclaiming "Ohhh, is good!" | Hopping on this skateboard, Luigi zooms around several amazed cave people.

==Dub edits== | |||
*In the original, after [[Bowser|King Koopa]] pleads [[Ludwig|Kooky]] to slow down the [[Mega Mechanasaur]], the latter explains that he needs to finish the "Kooky von Koopa Memorial Freeway." In the Spanish dubs, he merely calls the freeway the "Kooky von Koopa Freeway." | |||
*In the Latin American Spanish dub: | |||
**Screams are added for King Koopa when he and Kooky are launched from the Mega Mechanasaur when it collapses and when they run away from the ensuing explosion. | |||
**In the original, as the [[Cave People]] are cheering for [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Yoshi]] after they stop the Mega Mechanasaur, Mario suggests that he and Luigi should stave off trying to introduce wheels to the Cave People for a few years. In the dub, it is introducing cars to the Cave People. | |||
***In the Italian dub, Luigi adds that they should stave off trying to introduce wheels to the Cave People for a few hundred years, while in the original, it is a few thousand. | |||
