"'''Robo Koopa'''" is the fifty-second and final episode of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' Its corresponding live-action segment is "[[Captain Lou Is Missing]]." Despite this episode airing last, it does not serve as the series finale. This is supported by its production code, mentioning it being thirteenth episode to be produced. This is also the final full episode of the series in production order to use {{wp|traditional animation|cel animation}}. Starting with "[[Count Koopula]]", the series would transition to {{wp|traditional animation|digital ink and paint}}. Despite this, all episodes of ''[[The Legend of Zelda (television series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' continued to use cel animation. | "'''Robo Koopa'''" is the fifty-second and final episode of ''[[The Super Mario Bros.

[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] have ventured to [[Robo Land]] in pursuit of [[Bowser|King Koopa]], whom they had intended to stop. However, after finding King Koopa, Mario and his friends soon find themselves running for their lives, as [[Bullet Bill]]s are being fired in their direction continuously. After hiding behind a building, Luigi and Princess Toadstool ponder as to why a metal monster is attacking them in the first place. Looking around the corner, they see that the monster is actually King Koopa wearing a [[robo-suit]]. Now calling himself "[[King Koopa's alter egos# Robo Koopa (alter ego)|Robo Koopa]]", King Koopa demonstrates the power of his suit by shattering a building with a single punch. Robo Koopa threatens to destroy Mario's group, but as he fiddles with the buttons on the chest of his suit, Mario and his friends make a run for it. Robo Koopa continues to chase Mario's group through Robo Land, and fires more Bullet Bills in their direction, which they dodge by ducking. | [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], and [[Toad]] have ventured to [[Robo Land]] in pursuit of [[Bowser|King Koopa]], whom they had intended to stop.

Just as Robo Koopa threatens to blast Mario's group with his "Super Toes" (cannons in his feet), a strange, feminine voice speaks, as a robotic arm extends up through a hole in the ground and pushes several buttons on the robo suit. The voice states that her actions should mess up Robo Koopa's controls for a while. Robo Koopa starts walking backwards uncontrollably, and aimlessly fires a [[Bomb Plant]], which blows up another building. Robo Koopa announces that he'll return, and is helpless as his robo-suit takes him elsewhere. | Just as Robo Koopa threatens to blast Mario's group with his "Super Toes" (cannons in his feet), a strange, feminine voice speaks, as a robotic arm extends up through a hole in the ground and pushes several buttons on the robo suit.
