The show features live-action segments in which [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] (played by [[Lou Albano]] and [[Danny Wells]] respectively), living in [[Super Mario Bros. Plumbing|their basement workshop]] in [[Brooklyn]], are often visited by various celebrity guest stars. It also features cartoons based on the [[Super Mario Bros.|first]] and [[Super Mario Bros. 2|second]] ''Super Mario Bros.'' games, where the Mario brothers team up with [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] against [[Bowser|King Koopa]] and [[Bowser's Minions|his forces]] to save the many lands of the world. The ''Super Mario Bros.'' cartoons were shown on Mondays through Thursdays only; on Fridays, the show aired cartoons based on the animated ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (TV Series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series. In 1990, the show was retooled and aired under the name ''[[Club Mario]]'', combining the animated segments with new live-action segments depicting the antics of two ''Super Mario''-loving slackers named [[Tommy Treehugger]] and [[Co-MC]]. | ||

A few pieces of conceptual artwork have surfaced from early design phases of the show. Some of them were somewhat more accurate to the games, notably in King Koopa's design, while others were far more loosely based on official designs. One such piece is a poster featuring a much different depiction of Mario and Luigi (the latter of which is using his in-game clothing colors for ''Super Mario Bros.'') who are brandishing a plunger and a monkey wrench as weapons, a yellow-capped Toad, two large, grotesque [[Trouter]]s, a flying green [[Birdo]] being ridden by a [[Snifit]] holding two [[Beezo]] spears, a large purple frog monster with a necklace (possibly [[Wart]]) with a [[Hammer Bro]]ther in tow, a flying yellow [[Pidgit]], two [[Hoopster]]s with distinct heads (one of which has a worried expression), a blue [[Tryclyde]], a pelican-like [[Albatoss]] holding a muscular red [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]] by the fuse, a giant red multi-eyed octopus with blue arms (possibly a complete reinterpretation of [[Blooper|Bloober]]), two tube worm-like creatures with sharp teeth and long tongues (possibly [[Piranha Plant]]s), and some goggle-wearing, long-tongued aliens atop spacecrafts with vaguely face-like fronts (possibly intended to be [[Lakitu]]s). King Koopa appears in the background and mostly looks as he does in the finished product but with more exaggerated proportions, while Princess Toadstool, the Shyguy, the Snifit, and the Beezo are fairly accurate to their artwork. The poster also shows a helmet-wearing skull mounted to a "Go Back!" sign, a Sphinx, a sea serpent, and some prehistoric reptiles. This loose, heavily abstracted depiction of game elements closely resembles that of their later show ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]''. | A few pieces of conceptual artwork have surfaced from early design phases of the show.
