In 1989 the two most famous plumbers from Brooklyn burst out of the Nintendo game world and onto television screens across America. The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! aired weekday afternoons and brought Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and King Koopa more thrilling adventures as cartoon characters. And if that weren't enough, each episode also contained live-action segments featuring Mario and Luigi running their Brooklyn plumbing shop - all before they were flushed down a drainpipe into the Mushroom World.

saffire345 I don't see how anyone can possibly judge the Super Mario Bros. Super Show using today's mindset. The humor, the jokes, the "guest stars" are out of the 80's and 90's, some even earlier. I bought the DVD Zelda set, and it contains some of the live action scenes. I didn't even recognize one of the guest stars at all, and I watched the show when it originally aired.Let's face it, the animation was for kids, if you tuned in religiously, and now look back and wonder why you even bothered to watch something so horrific, the answer is simple: You were a KID! When you're a kid, you didn't need complex humor, artwork that would put the pros to shame, and plots that would out-do the best. You're a kid, you don't require all of that in order to enjoy something. The point of both the Mario and Zelda cartoons was that you had a (at the least vague) connection to the game itself. It was fun to see your favorite video game characters talk. The video game sounds offered only added to the connection. I'm well over 20, and I still enjoy all 13 episodes of the Zelda cartoon series. Granted, I skip over the Mario bros intro and "Do the Mario" ending, but then, those aren't why I bought the DVD set.Why kill Ganon? You do enough of that in the game, and they /do/ kill Ganon at least twice, and he "dies" many other times, however they explain that Ganon and any creature he summons gets zapped to the "Evil Jar" when they die anyways. If they actually killed Ganon, it'd be like the family in Lost In Space actually getting home. The series would end. I'm not sure why the series ended at one season, whether it was due to lack of funds, interest, or a combination of both, but it had potential to go on.Again, the whole thing was aimed towards kids, specifically, towards an age group that doesn't point out every out-of-sync word, animation glitch, or plot. Leave the heavy critiquing for features that hit the big screen.
xeviousJsopwells I remember being very excited as a young kid that legendary superstars Mario @ Luigi were going to be animated. I was not at all disappointed! The animation, I MUST confess, was horrible at points, and mediocre at best, and there were even points where Mario would accidentally do a Luigi voice and vica versa but the happy-go-lucky plot lines were infinitely amusing. The show would start off as a live action skit with Mario(Lou Albano) and Luigi(someone named Danny?) doing a brief comedy skit, then it would switch to the cartoon, then back for the finalie of the live skit. These guys were simply hilarious! They would have guests such as Sgt Slaughter, Roddy Piper, Magic Johnson just to name a few. But my favorite of these skits was the Sgt. Slaughter Steam Machine episode! That one makes me laugh just thinking about it! The Bros start out fixing a steam machine for the sarge when Mario is hopelessly trapped inside! Luigi becomes angry that mario has disappeared and left him to work for the sarge who makes Luigi do 500 push-ups! When they figure out what has went wrong with the steam machine a mini-Mario pops out ranting and raving how much he hates what has happened! I absolutely loved it and wish more TV would be made like this, the good old fashioned somewhat 3-stooges style hit-you-below-the-belt silly stuff! I loved the show and will NEVER forget racing home from elementary school to watch this zany duo!But the show obviously had some short-comings as it was almost immediately canceled after a one season run. I'm not sure what all led to the demise of this hard to find jewel but the replacement of Lou Alban and Dan with the watered down Bill+Ted versions certainly hit a sour notw with a LOT of people. I remember thinking, "who are THESE guys???" They were OK at times, but just like the Curly VS Shemp, Shemp was OK, but he'll NEVER replace a CURLY! The show simply tried to cash in on a new attitude and failed miserably.All in all I would certainly place this on my TO-GET-LIST for those of us who enjoyed animation in the 80's. This was simply the absolute best!
SSJAniFan Believe it or not, before I saw this series, I didn't know who Mario, or Link from the Zelda series, was. I did not own a Nintendo Entertainment System until my fifth birthday, and I first saw this show while I was three years old, which gave me my first real taste on the wonderful world of Nintendo. I loved it, and even now I miss this series. Having animated versions of both Mario and Zelda were fantastic. Mario would usually battle variations of King Koopa(who was a fused version of Mario villain Bowser and Mario 2 baddie Wart), usually in versions of movies like Indiana Jones or Frankenstein. The Zelda ones featured Link and Zelda(who actually fought in the Zelda cartoons), facing Ganon(who else?), as he tried to capture the Triforce. I thought it was really cool how both toons would use the actual sound effects from the games. I also noted how the characteristics of Mario and Luigi in the show are now the ones used for them in the current Mario games. This show reminded me of how KUSI-51 used to be cool, when they had shows like this, Ninja Turtles, Jetsons, and Tiny Toons. What happened to those days? I guess they went the way of the Disney Channel, Disney Adventures, Fox, and USA. Oh well, I was ticked off when they changed the theme song during the 90's, and instead of the host sequences of a live-action Mario and Luigi they now featured..... two guys on the top of an apartment with a big-screen TV!? Luckily, the few videos and taped episodes I have give me the chance to relive my childhood memories.BOTTOM LINE: I don't care what anyone else says, I love this show!
DragonMasterHiro MARIO!? A TELEVISION SHOW?!?That was pretty much my reaction as a kid when I found out there would be a TV show about the Mario Brothers. Not only did you get those life action sequences with Captain Lou Albano and Danny Wells, but you also got CARTOONS! Mario and Luigi running around fighting King Koopa. All the voices in the show were cast perfectly. I tried to watch the cartoons again and realized that they're all pretty similar but back in the day, it was classic. When the show first ran, in each episode they would have little scenes where they'd play songs like "Limbo Rock" and "Whatsamatta You" where Mario and Luigi would fight goombas and such. I saw the cartoons recently, and those songs were not there anymore. Very strange. And of course, you had that great closing theme "Do The Mario" with Captain Lou dancing all over the screen. However, the BEST part about the show had to be Zelda cartoons every friday. Not only did you get Mario, but Link too? That was amazing! He was such a smart alec to Princess Zelda. Ganon was awesome too. I loved the music that would play whenever Link would go into battle. "One more shot and you're deengergized, Ganon!" They also used all the same sound effects and theme from the game which was perfect. Great show during the 80's. At least this was more closely related to the game, unlike that horrible movie."Starlight, Starbright...gimmie pasta power, gimmie pasta might!"
