''YouTube''. Retrieved October 1, 2020.</ref> is the first cartoon of [[DIC Entertainment]]'s ''Super Mario'' trilogy, aired between September and December of 1989; it was the only one to be produced directly for syndication. The show featured live-action segments in which [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] (played by [[Lou Albano]] and [[Danny Wells]] respectively), living in [[Mario Brothers Plumbing|their basement workshop]] in [[Brooklyn]], were often visited by various celebrity guest stars. It also featured cartoons based on the [[Super Mario Bros.|first]] and [[Super Mario Bros. 2|second]] ''Super Mario Bros.'' games, where the Mario brothers teamed up with [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] against [[Bowser|King Koopa]] and [[Koopa Troop|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 would air cartoons based on the animated ''[[The Legend of Zelda (television 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]]. | ||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
Each episode | Each episode began with a live-action segment starring [[Mario]] (portrayed by World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment Hall of Famer, the late "Captain" [[Lou Albano]]) and [[Luigi]] (the late [[Danny Wells]]) living in [[Brooklyn]], where they would often be visited by a celebrity guest star either playing themselves or another character at [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]], a basement workshop which doubled as their home. | ||
The live-action segment | The live-action segment would be followed by a cartoon-based on the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' video games, where Mario, Luigi, [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] (Peach), and [[Toad]] would battle against [[Bowser|King Koopa]] (Bowser) throughout the many lands of the world, often in a book, movie or historical parody. [[Mouser]], [[Tryclyde]], [[Fryguy]] and a single, unnamed [[Koopa Troopa]] often worked closely with King Koopa, serving as his henchmen. Getting into the spirit of these parodies, King Koopa usually took on a varying [[King Koopa's alter egos|alter ego]]. He had a different outfit for each one, and would take on a different alias to along with it. For example, in a riverboat-themed episode, King Koopa was "Captain Koopa", while in one of the western-themed episodes, he went by "Billy the Koopa". In many episodes, King Koopa's minions would often dress up in outfits as well, to go along with Koopa's themed costumes. In some episodes, King Koopa would go without an alter ego nor wear a costume except for "Jungle Fever" and "Mario of the Apes". The only episode where King Koopa does not appear is "Love 'Em and Leave 'Em". | ||
[[Wart]], the main antagonist of the second game, | [[Wart]], the main antagonist of the second game, was never in any of the episodes, yet most of his minions managed to appear as members of the [[Koopa Troop|Koopa Pack]]. Like most 1980s cartoons, King Koopa would prolong the series' run by escaping from his adversaries (which he did through the use of a [[Magical Potion]]), even though they could easily catch him. Also similar to most 80s cartoons, ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' had little continuity from episode to episode and ended with no obvious series finale. | ||

The basis of the storyline (introduced at the beginning of every animated episode) was that Mario and Luigi were working on a bathtub drain which unknowingly was a warp zone to the Mushroom Kingdom, and Mario and Luigi had literally gone down the drain and ended up in the Mushroom Kingdom, by sheer coincidence causing problems for King Koopa and rescuing Toad and Princess Toadstool. Now that they were rescued, the focus for the Mario Brothers was to return to Brooklyn, while stopping King Koopa's tyranny whenever they could. Lou Albano and Danny Wells also voiced Mario and Luigi for the animated segment. It was never revealed whether their live action sequences were a prequel to the animated series or they successfully returned to Brooklyn and resumed their duties in the plumbing business. | The basis of the storyline (introduced at the beginning of every animated episode) was that Mario and Luigi were working on a bathtub drain which unknowingly was a warp zone to the Mushroom Kingdom, and Mario and Luigi had literally gone down the drain and ended up in the Mushroom Kingdom, by sheer coincidence causing problems for King Koopa and rescuing Toad and Princess Toadstool.

Following the cartoon | Following the cartoon was the third portion of the episode, which continued the story that the live-action segment set up in the beginning.

When the series was distributed and broadcasted internationally outside the United States, all ''The Legend of Zelda'' previews were removed. Some of these prints can be found on DVDs released by Maximum Entertainment from 2004-2008 in the UK. Most of the episodes in these prints (including foreign variations of the series) have the Saban International logo whereas some episodes have both the DIC and Saban logos.<ref>https://www.avid.wiki/DIC_Entertainment#3rd_Logo_(September_12,_1987-2005)</ref> | When the series was distributed and broadcasted internationally outside the United States, all ''The Legend of Zelda'' previews were removed.

After DiC's ''Super Mario'' cartoons ended, the show was aired in reruns on the Family Channel (currently known as Freeform). Like the international prints of the series, the Family Channel's reruns of the series removed ''The Legend of Zelda'' previews and the scenes that segued into them from the live-action segments, and unlike the international prints, these reruns slowed down the episodes to bring them back to their original length. They also changed the placement of the commercial breaks, placing them during scene dissolves in the animated segments. (For unknown reasons, the Family Channel version of "[[King Mario of Cramalot]]" and "[[Day of the Orphan]]" is the version used in subsequent DVD and digital releases.)

Also, from that point onward, the song covers were removed, similar to season one of [[Captain N: The Game Master]], and were replaced with instrumentals of seven songs from ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and one song from ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]''. This was done for licensing reasons as the lyrics of the song covers are copyrighted. In the DVD and digital releases of the former episode mentioned, the 1987 DIC logo was replaced with the 1990 DIC logo. | ||

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.
