Super Mario (song)

"Super Mario" is an Italian opening theme song to The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! It was performed by Cristina D'Avena, an Italian personality who sang numerous theme songs for animated series in the 1980s and 1990s. The song was composed by Massimiliano Pani and the lyrics were written by Alessandra Valeri Manera.

This song served as the show intro and outro in the original Italian airings in place of "The Mario Rap" and "Do the Mario." A Spanish adaptation was also used as the show intro for the original Castilian Spanish airings.

Later airings use a translated version of the original songs, written and sung by Emanuele Arnone.

(Davvero!)	(Really!)
Con Super Mario, chi lo sa cosa adesso qui accadrà È un temerario che se ne va per le fiabe qua e là Con gran coraggio salverà chi nei guai si caccerà Che tipo sgaggio, eccolo qua! (Davvero?)	With Super Mario, who knows what will happen here and now He's a daredevil who goes into fairy tales here and there With great courage he'll save those who get into trouble What a cunning guy, here he is! (Really?)
Lui ha solo una maglia blu e una buffa tuta rossa Ha con sé un funghetto che veste sempre col gilet Che tosto Super Mario, coi baffi all'insù Si butta sempre in tutto a testa in giù Che sballo Super Mario, se ingrassa ancora un po' Diventerà più tondo di un oblò!	He has only a blue shirt and goofy red overalls He has with him a little mushroom who always wears a vest What a tough guy, Super Mario, with an upturned moustache He always throws himself into everything headfirst What a blast, Super Mario, if he gets any fatter He'll become rounder than a porthole!
Con Super Mario, è necessario che il sogno sia realtà Con Super Mario, l'immaginario diventa verità! Con Super Mario, è necessario che il sogno sia realtà Con Super Mario, l'immaginario diventa verità!	With Super Mario, it is necessary for the dream to come true With Super Mario, imaginary becomes reality! With Super Mario, it is necessary for the dream to come true With Super Mario, imaginary becomes reality!
(Davvero!)	(Really!)
The in-show version ends here. The following are the lyrics to the extended version.
Con Super Mario, chi lo sa cosa adesso qui accadrà Confusionario sempre sarà, tanti amici troverà È un personaggio senza età, pieno di vivacità Che tipo sgaggio, eccolo qua! (Davvero?)	With Super Mario, who knows what will happen here and now He will always be muddle-headed, he will find many friends He is an ageless character, full of liveliness What a cunning guy, here he is! (Really?)
Lui ha solo una maglia blu e una buffa tuta rossa Ha con sé un funghetto che veste sempre col gilet Che tosto Super Mario, coi baffi all'insù Si butta sempre in tutto a testa in giù Che sballo Super Mario, se ingrassa ancora un po' Diventerà più tondo di un oblò!	He has only a blue shirt and goofy red overalls He has with him a little mushroom who always wears a vest What a tough guy, Super Mario, with an upturned moustache He always throws himself into everything headfirst What a blast, Super Mario, if he gets any fatter He'll become rounder than a porthole!
Con Super Mario, è necessario che il sogno sia realtà Con Super Mario, l'immaginario diventa verità! Con Super Mario, è necessario che il sogno sia realtà Con Super Mario, l'immaginario diventa verità!	With Super Mario, it is necessary for the dream to come true With Super Mario, imaginary becomes reality! With Super Mario, it is necessary for the dream to come true With Super Mario, imaginary becomes reality!
