'''''The Super Mario Bros.

Each episode began with a live-action segment starring [[Mario]] (portrayed by World Wrestling Federation star [[Captain Lou Albano]]) and [[Luigi]] ([[Danny Wells]]) living in [[Brooklyn]], where they would often be visited by a celebrity guest star at [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]]; a basement workshop which doubled as their home. | Each episode began with a live-action segment starring [[Mario]] (portrayed by World Wrestling Federation star [[Captain Lou Albano]]) and [[Luigi]] ([[Danny Wells]]) living in [[Brooklyn]], where they would often be visited by a celebrity guest star at [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]]; a basement workshop which doubled as their home. | ||
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]] (although she used the name Princess Toadstool, or usually just "The Princess"), and [[Toad]] would battle against [[Bowser]] (although he used the name King Koopa, or usually just Koopa) throughout the many lands of [[Mushroom World]], often in a movie or historical parody. [[Mouser (character)|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 dress up in outfits as well, to go along with Koopa's themed costumes. | 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]] (although she used the name Princess Toadstool, or usually just "The Princess"), and [[Toad]] would battle against [[Bowser]] (although he used the name King Koopa, or usually just Koopa) throughout the many lands of [[Mushroom World]], often in a movie or historical parody.

Following the cartoon was the third portion of the episode, which continued the story that the live-action segment set up in the beginning. Towards the end, the second live-action segment was interrupted with scenes from that week's upcoming episode of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. | Following the cartoon was the third portion of the episode, which continued the story that the live-action segment set up in the beginning.

In 1990 the show changed its name to '''Club Mario''', replacing the live-action Mario segment with two completely different characters known as Tommy Treehugger and Co-M.C., with occasional appearances by Tammy Treehugger (Tommy's twin sister) and Evil Eric (Co-M.C.'s evil twin brother). | In 1990 the show changed its name to '''Club Mario''', replacing the live-action Mario segment with two completely different characters known as Tommy Treehugger and Co-M.C., with occasional appearances by Tammy Treehugger (Tommy's twin sister) and Evil Eric (Co-M.C.'s evil twin brother). | ||

==Trivia== | |||
*In another Mario related television series, ''[[King Koopa's Kool Kartoons]]'', framed portraits of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' versions of Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool can be seen in various episodes of the show. | |||
*When shown in reruns after cancellation, DiC took out all the song covers played during the chase scenes, and replaced them with instrumentals of songs featured in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. | |||
*The show was sponsored by Domino's Pizza and Reebok. | |||
*From 1989 to 1991, Kid Klassics released NTSC VHS videos of the show. These videos contained two, one, or no live-action segments, and featured the cartoon segments as they originally aired (meaning they included the chase songs that were edited out in later airings). On these videos, the "Super Mario Bros." theme wasn't included before the cartoon segment. | |||
*The episode "[[Two Plumbers and a Baby]]" was aired without an introduction on television. | |||
*There was a View-master three-reel set based on the show (but labeled as "Super Mario Bros. 2"). The A reel showed various scenes from the live-action segments, while the B and C reels were an adaptation of the episode "The Bird! The Bird!"

Revision as of 23:09, July 28, 2009
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! was the first animated series based on the Super Mario series of videogames to be produced by DiC Entertainment, and the only one to be produced directly for syndication.
Each episode began with a live-action segment starring Mario (portrayed by World Wrestling Federation star Captain Lou Albano) and Luigi (Danny Wells) living in Brooklyn, where they would often be visited by a celebrity guest star at Mario Brothers Plumbing; a basement workshop which doubled as their home.
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 (although she used the name Princess Toadstool, or usually just "The Princess"), and Toad would battle against Bowser (although he used the name King Koopa, or usually just Koopa) throughout the many lands of Mushroom World, often in a 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 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 dress up in outfits as well, to go along with Koopa's themed costumes.
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 Pack. Like most 1980s cartoons, King Koopa would prolong the series' run by escaping from his adversaries (which he did through the use of Magic Potion), despite the fact that they could easily catch him.
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 if their live action sequences were a prequel to the animated series; or if they successfully returned to Brooklyn and resumed their duties in the plumbing business.
Following the cartoon was the third portion of the episode, which continued the story that the live-action segment set up in the beginning. Towards the end, the second live-action segment was interrupted with scenes from that week's upcoming episode of The Legend of Zelda.
The Super Mario Bros. cartoon was shown on Mondays through Thursdays only. On Fridays, the show would air The Legend of Zelda cartoons based on the game of the same name, in which Link and Princess Zelda fought against the forces of Ganon. The Zelda episodes were also accompanied by live-action segments, sans the Zelda preview.
In 1990 the show changed its name to Club Mario, replacing the live-action Mario segment with two completely different characters known as Tommy Treehugger and Co-M.C., with occasional appearances by Tammy Treehugger (Tommy's twin sister) and Evil Eric (Co-M.C.'s evil twin brother).

Lyrics
Plumber Rap Part 1
Hey paisanos! It's the Super Mario Brothers Super Show!
We're the Mario Brothers, and plumbing's our game
We're not like the others who get all the fame
If your sink is in trouble, you can call us on the double
We're faster than the others, you'll be hooked on the Brothers Unh!
H-hooked on the Brothers
Gimme gimme, gimme gimme
Yo, you're in for a treat, so hang on to your seat
Get ready for adventure and remarkable feats
You'll meet Koopas, the Troopas, the Princess, and the others
Hangin' with the plumbers, you'll be hooked on the brothers, to the brink!
Unh! Unh!
I say a h-h-h-h-hooked on the brothers!
The brothers!
The brothers!
Plumber Rap Part 2
Yo, yo!
It's the Mario Brothers and plumbin's their game
Found the secret warp zone while working on the drain
Lend the princess a hand in the Mushroom Land.
Comin' atcha with the plumbers, you'll be hooked on the brothers!
Nooooooooow, Evil Koopa and his Troopas are up to misbehavin'
They kidnapped the princess; Mushroom Land needs savin'
Abusin' and confusin' everybody he discovers
They can't help but be hooked on the brothers! Unh!

DVDs

- 1 one-disk set by Trimark.
- 2 four-disk box-sets by Shout! Factory (released 2006).
Artistic licenses
- King Koopa's appearance was based off of his sprite from Super Mario Bros.; Princess Toadstool's was based off of her sprite from that game and Super Mario Bros. 2.
- In several episodes, Birdos were shown to fly, a trait not seen in any Mario game.
- Rather than becoming Fire Mario, Mario (or Luigi) would become "Super Mario" upon touching either a Fire Flower, Starman, or some other source of excessive power. As Super Mario, Mario could hurl fireballs, had super-strength, and on a few rare occasions, could even fly. Although Mario could lose his powers by taking a hit, it was also possible for them to wear off after a while.
- Luigi was given green eyes, despite the fact that game artwork and future appearances have always shown them to be blue. However, on the cover of the Volume 1 DVD set, Luigi's eyes are blue.
- In the first three episodes, Toad's color scheme was inverted. He sported a red cap with white spots, a white vest and red pants. This was fixed from the fourth episode onwards, although it was reused for Toad's "Super Toad" form in a later episode.
- Trouters were portrayed as being far more vicious than they were in Super Mario Bros. 2, and would pursue anybody who came near them as if they were piranhas. Also, their appearance more closely resembles that of Cheep-Cheeps than the Trouters seen in the game.
Trivia
- In another Mario related television series, King Koopa's Kool Kartoons, framed portraits of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! versions of Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool can be seen in various episodes of the show.
- When shown in reruns after cancellation, DiC took out all the song covers played during the chase scenes, and replaced them with instrumentals of songs featured in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3.
- The show was sponsored by Domino's Pizza and Reebok.
- From 1989 to 1991, Kid Klassics released NTSC VHS videos of the show. These videos contained two, one, or no live-action segments, and featured the cartoon segments as they originally aired (meaning they included the chase songs that were edited out in later airings). On these videos, the "Super Mario Bros." theme wasn't included before the cartoon segment.
- The episode "Two Plumbers and a Baby" was aired without an introduction on television.
- There was a View-master three-reel set based on the show (but labeled as "Super Mario Bros. 2"). The A reel showed various scenes from the live-action segments, while the B and C reels were an adaptation of the episode "The Bird! The Bird!" Oddly, although the picture descriptions say "King Koopa", the villain featured in reels B and C is clearly Wart.
- Luigi's personality of being scared and cautious was first used in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Later, this personality appeared in video games most notably in the Mario & Luigi Series.
- Aside from Wart, other enemies from Super Mario Bros. 1 & 2 that didn't appear on the show include Buzzy Beetle (although one episode had the Brothers chased by "Beetles", who were more like actual beetles than Buzzy, and had hair in a Beatle-esque fashion), Bill Blaster (though Bullet Bills do appear), Cheep-Cheep, Podoboo and Panser.
- Episode 13 (Toad Warriors and E.C. The Extra Creepy) marked a change of the commercial break intro and outro segments. It remained for the rest of the regular live action segments.
- In the Italian doubed episodes, not only the names of minor characters, but also those of the main ones changed: King Koopa was named Attila, while Princess Toadstool was known as Amarena (the Italian name for "sour cherry").
- Always in the Italian episodes of the Mario Bros Super Show there has been 3 different openings: when it was first shown on public tv, the opening was the official one of the episodes transmitted all over the world, with the difference that it was sang into Italian (the Italian version of the old opening is difficult to find on the Internet). The intro shown in the episodes of private TV (transmitted a few years ago) started with a storyteller that talked us about the Mushroom kingdom, then the music started (but there was no song).
- The most famous Italian opening of the Mario cartoon is the one sang by Cristina D'Avena (she is the most popular cartoons' singer of Italy). Also this Super Mario song was very popular at the time and it's considered better then the original ones!
