Trivia/Goofs[]
- The Opening theme is played at a slower pitch than the other episodes.
- Ludwig's mouth is colored as orange in this episode instead of peach like in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. This would later be corrected in the episode "Rock TV."

- This is Bowser's first appearance on the show.
- This marked the debut of the Cape Feather.
- According to this episode, Princess seems to understand caveman language, even though she couldn't in the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show episode "Quest for Pizza." However, since Super Mario World is a chronoligically newer plotline, it could be said she learned the language between the two timeframes.

- When Luigi jumps in Mario's arms, both screaming when they see the Blargg, the "L" on Luigi's cap is white with a black background. After Mario says "Come fly with me Luigi," in the scene after, inconsistentcy could be seen if studied closely.

- When Luigi brings some wheels to Yoshi, Yoshi's arms are white.
- At one point, Yoshi hollers "Let me try" but as the skateboard falls, Yoshi eats it, showing he lost the will to ride it.
