The one I think bothers me the most might be "The Pied Koopa". Getting rid of the song was bad enough, but the replacement music doesn't sound or match them playing the horns...😵💫
That was a _huge_ missed opportunity, not having the song "White Wedding" by Billy Idol during the wedding sequence, like in the Super Show episode with the same premise.
Call me a purist, but I feel like the Super Mario Bros. Super Show just doesn’t work without the cover songs. Especially songs like “Great Balls of Fire” and “Hit the Road Jack”, where the action in the episode is synced up to said songs.
Definitely agree. The only replacement I kind of like a little more than the original is When Koopas Paint the Town's instrumental replacing Peter Gunn in "The Adventures of Sherlock Mario."
Same as when Mario says "I'm Bad!" and "Shuddup You Face!" right before the song comes on. When you remove the song, the lead-in line doesn't land properly at all.
Illumination just dropped a promo video on that Super Show intro as well, that is beautiful but of course they cut out the segment that is in the Mushroom Kingdom.
@@masonasaro2118 No, the pop songs in the movie sucked. It removed many instances of Brian Tyler's score, including a portion of David Wise's Donkey Kong Country theme, and in all instances the score was better than their dumb songs.
@@arrowghost Licencing isn't always about money. Rights issues aren't always easily resolved by throwing money at it. A lot of artists (or their estates) can easily change their mind on a song's rights, and refuse to license it at any cost. (It's notable that some bands like Pink Floyd do this in all cases, make their music un-licencable) Or in some cases, the rights change over to the hands of people that no one knows or can't be contacted.
I remember as a kid always being surprised how "Workin For a Livin" had the lyrics "damned if you do, damned if you don't" left unchanged in a children's Mario cartoon.
It was a syndicated show so they didn't have any network censors to deal with. That's one of the reasons so many cartoons aired that way back in the 80s and 90s. Stuff like transformers, GI Joe, thundercats, ect never would have been able to air in the form they did on a Saturday morning block.
48:45 THIS! In the movie, this is exactly what the brothers did! Brooklyn was flooding and they went to go save their city, my first thought was this happened in the Super Show! Love it XD
When I was a little kid, I watched this show regularly, so I must have heard all of these songs, but I was not familiar with any of them, with the possible exception of "Heard It Through the Grapevine" (thanks to the California Raisins). It's very weird to watch this now and recognize all of the songs and their original singers. The DVD version, which replaces all of these songs with THE SAME INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC OVER AND OVER, really sucks the life out of these cartoons.
This is the way I remember seeing this show. The DVD versions just replace these songs with stock cues, and the action sequences fall flat because of it. They're pretty decent covers of well-chosen, classic songs. I'm glad to see these again, great work!
I watched the SMBSS when it first aired as a kid. Loved this show, had three of the VHS tapes with the original licensed music intact. The songs I remember the most: "Magic Carpet Ride" "Rawhide Theme" "Danger Zone" "Proud Mary"
Oh man, "Magic Carpet Ride" was the only VHS I still had by the time I was in my teens, in the early 2000s (well, that and a Christmas-themed VHS, containing Koopa Klaus and the Super Mario World episode The Night Before Cave Christmas, that we'd just recently found in a bargain bin in the late '90s, though it didn't have Jingle Bell Rock). I remember when I was much younger, we also had a VHS of Mario Meets Koopzilla, as well as another with three episodes: Princess I Shrunk The Marios, Rolling Down the River, and Brooklyn Bound. However, I was too young to really notice the cover songs, though I'm sure those tapes were early enough to still have them (the songs featured would've been, respectively, The Jolly Green Giant, no song, Pround Mary, and Danger Zone).
It’s funny because the recent movie has a few licensed songs (I need a Hero, Take on Me) so I’m sure they’re here to reference how the Super Show was chocked full of them!

This is wild to me as someone who watched so much of the DVD release. It's not like i'm too young for this show but I could almost never catch it on TV, I was never aware of what channel it came on and it always seemed to come on at weird hour where I would be rushed out the door to school. I wonder if a real restored release of this series on DVD could ever be possible.
49:02 Was not expecting to hear a line like "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" in this show. Guess they overlooked it when picking the song. Either that, or children's programming has some weird standard of not editting certain arts (like genitals on statues) while not allowing such content in the show proper.
Yeah! How I remember! I am 43 today! Thank you so very much for this Joy I had first experienced when I was 10. Rich Blessings to You and Your Amaze-Awesome Team!!! ✨❤️✨👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I guess it really is in-series for Mario to have random pop songs. Although I wonder now, will every movie by the TTG/Illumination-Mario directors include Take On Me? It seems like it will become their trademark licensed song.
The same thing happens to certain episodes and segments of the Muppet Show and Sesame Street that feature cover songs. In fact, these copyright laws and fees are probably why the latter stopped doing cover songs around the 2010s, although they still do them in stage shows and parades.
Two of these cover songs, Alley Oop and Baby Sittin' Boogie, have been found in the album "New Years Eve Celebration: 1960's Nostalgia" by The Golden Oldies. If I had to guess, that means that all of these cover songs are from different cover albums. My whole life I thought DiC made them for the show.
Yeah, none of them were made for the show. All of the full cover songs still haven't been found, but a majority of them are accounted for! A few years back as well, I made edits of how they played in the episodes for a handful of them.
I wasn't even born in 1989, and I didn't know TSMBSS had cover songs before. You must've taken a lot of time to find available resources for all the cover songs throughout the show. I'm impressed... and jealous! Nice work.
Omg these songs add soooooo much! As someone who only had the DIC dvds, Koopinstien was a meh episode but the addition of Weird Science puts sooooo much life into that fight choreography! La Bomba, Born To Be Wild, Working For A Living, Secret Agent Man and Rock Around The Clock are also up there for favorite genius picks. (Though I do think Proud Mary would’ve been even better if done more in the style of Tina Turner.)
14:48 That recording of born to be wild is from a cover band. I have a Christmas decoration that’s a snowboarding Santa and it sings the exact same version lol
Thanks for the upload! To be honest, while I understand the song choices, at times they don't really fit the scene in question and are kinda distracting. Maybe I've just gotten too used to the standard Mario score in the past decades, but I think I actually prefer it better? But from a historical perspective I would love for them to be released as they were.
When I first watched "Jungle Love", that part caught me off guard. I had thought that all of the covers were scrubbed from later airings before the show was released on home video and made its way to streaming. I guess they missed one. Well, *half* of one!
I see they left the "controversial" lyrics out of "Rawhide". They felt like they could maybe leave in the damn's in the Huey Lewis song, but there was no way they were gonna leave in the four letter R word from Rawhide.

The new Super Mario bros movie from Nintendo, illumination, and universal has licensed songs. I think they did that because the 1980’s & 1990’s Super Mario cartoons had license songs as well.
I'm just now realizing that... Honestly come to think of it, the Movie had a lot of influences from the show in general... (I was literally jamming out in the theater when the Plumber rap started... (apparently the lady who thanks them for fixing her faucet in the comercial is voiced by the person who played toadstool in the cartoon as well...)
@@nightspawnson-of-luna4936 Don't forget, much like the cartoons had Luigi lack an Italian accent in Super Show and Mario lacked one in Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, the movie pretty much goes that approach too.
@@nightspawnson-of-luna4936Excuse me, but the lady in the plumbing commercial is actually voiced by Jessica DiCicco who also voiced Mario and Luigi's mother, the Yellow Toad who makes puppy eyes, Baby Peach.
I will never understand why in all the USA versions on the DVD they cut the parody/cover songs, I can get if it's for copyright reasons in case they ddon't get sued, But still it feels a bit of a odd choice, Not to mention they used copyright music in the film anyway so what's the show's excuse?
Well the movie is new it just came out wereas the dvd was a rerelease of an old Mario cartoon I’m sure they didn’t think renewing the music licenses was worth it
L37:40 Pre-transition Birdo, before she became Birdetta, and presumably through decades of dead-naming decided that "Birdo" was androgynous enough after all or something, because she currently self-identifies as Birdo. *TL;DR* TIL that Birdo used to have a mustache, and I've seen every episode before, multiple times... so I must be very forgetful, or I've been blinking every single time, and I don't know which one is worse?
Does anyone remember at what point they got rid of the songs in the re-airings? I was born in '86, so I have extremely vague memories of some of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show's earliest airings. Most of what I remember watching as a kid came from the Family Channel and USA Network airings of the various Mario shows throughout the early to mid '90s, and especially the Mario All-Stars compilations with animated Super Show and Super Mario World episodes (those cut out the live-action segments, though I have vague memories of watching some of those as well at some point or other). As a kid, I never really noticed or appreciated the licensed music that much, though I distinctly remember a few of them in the episodes, like "Hit The Road Jack" and "Rockin' Robin". I also have a VHS recording of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episodes that aired on the Family Channel. From 1992, if I recall correctly (I remember because my mom made me go to gymnastics class immediately after school at the beginning of my 1st grade in elementary school, so I had to tape them while I was gone). However, while SMB3 didn't have as many legal problems with its music (I think the majority of its songs were original), there were a few such as Wipe Out, and it was already removed by the time these episodes aired.
I think they removed them when they started to rerun on the family channel. It would have had to have been after 1991 because they used instrumental music from the Super Mario world cartoon to replace many of these cover songs. I have a Sonic underground DVD that weirdly has a Super Show episode as a bonus feature and it uses the Mario all stars intro. Plus if you switch the language to Spanish it still has the cover song intact! So I guess those were never removed for international airings.
@@pacmancdi Oh yeah, I heard about the international airings being like that, though I'm pretty surprised to hear that a domestic DVD would actually contain the dub unaltered. I wonder when the Super Show most recently aired internationally (with the songs still intact). Also, did the replacements use Super Mario World song instrumentals? I thought I remember all of them being instrumentals of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3's songs. It's been a while since I watched my box set, maybe they did mix a few World ones in there as well.
@@YamatoFukkatsu The replacements used the Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 song instrumentals, you were correct. Kinda sucks that this only applies here in the US though, the music selection was among the best. Heck, the cover of Money used in The Great Gold Coin Rush was done by *_THE BEATLES._*
@@YamatoFukkatsu In addition to the seven instrumental songs from AoSMB3 ("Burn, Baby, Burn", "In My Frog Suit", "It's a Dog's Life", "What Goes Up", "Town Painting", "Speedy Gondola", and "My Karoobi"), the one and only song from Super Mario World (TV series), "Motor City", was used.
to this day i dont understand why regular show was able to keep all their pop songs in the home video and streaming releases of their episodes but the super mario bros super show couldn't?
It costs money to release the show with its original audio. I image Cartoon Network had more money behind it than whoever the hell owns the distribution rights to this show now.
While I’m sort of fine with it. Reason why I’m mostly peeved by this, is because Brian Tyler is AMAZING at his compositions. The unused songs he made for the scenes were just too good to have been passed up. Brian himself said he’s always been a fan of Mario, and it showed how he was able to incorporate references of song motifs from various Mario games across history. To cut out stuff like that was appalling.
12:07 On the DVD I had most of these were removed but this one wasn’t for some reason. It always confused me why it sounded so different from the rest of the show
There are 11 episodes that don't have cover songs. Star Koopa Flatbush Koopa Robo Koopa Mario of the Deep Mario of the Apes Escape from Koopatraz Princess I Shrunk the Mario Bros Little Red Riding Princess The Provolone Ranger Crocodile Mario Raiders of the Lost Mushroom
Would it be alright to use this video as a reference for the cover songs in my upcoming Super Mario Bros Super Show based podcast? I'll link to it in the description of each episode.
Man, I wa so confused hearing these because I don't remember ever hearing these songs in the show. I guess the versions I watched had them removed. Such a shame! They actually make it way better
@@Windows98Offical yeah that’s what I said they lost the rights to the music it’s all copyrighted the only cover of a song that they kept is the William Tell Overture cause that’s public domain
I Feel Good doesn’t sound like a rap song and sugar, spice and everything nice later appeared in The Powerpuff Girls. So, spice sets someone’s mouth on fire.
Ahh… but did y’all catch that ONE song that wasn’t caught to edit out. It’s on the Witch Doc’s ep. In the US DVD box set… or was it the Volcano episode?….
since we have very clear audio and full clips of said audio, is it unrealistic to attempt at overlaying the audio to make the episodes proper again and possibly archive online? or has someone already made an attempt at such?
When I heard the cover songs in Mario Bros Movie (I need a hero and Take on me), i felt that i was seeing a Super Show episode.
Only those weren't cover songs - they were the originals.

The new Super Mario bros movie from Nintendo, illumination, and universal has licensed songs. I think they did that because the 1980’s & 1990’s Super Mario cartoons had license songs as well.
I'm just now realizing that...
Honestly come to think of it, the Movie had a lot of influences from the show in general... (I was literally jamming out in the theater when the Plumber rap started... (apparently the lady who thanks them for fixing her faucet in the comercial is voiced by the person who played toadstool in the cartoon as well...)
@@nightspawnson-of-luna4936 Don't forget, much like the cartoons had Luigi lack an Italian accent in Super Show and Mario lacked one in Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, the movie pretty much goes that approach too.
@@nightspawnson-of-luna4936Excuse me, but the lady in the plumbing commercial is actually voiced by Jessica DiCicco who also voiced Mario and Luigi's mother, the Yellow Toad who makes puppy eyes, Baby Peach.
@@CarlosGutierrez-di7xj yeah, Sorry I made this comment before finding out that was a myth...
I will never understand why in all the USA versions on the DVD they cut the parody/cover songs, I can get if it's for copyright reasons in case they ddon't get sued, But still it feels a bit of a odd choice, Not to mention they used copyright music in the film anyway so what's the show's excuse?
Well the movie is new it just came out wereas the dvd was a rerelease of an old Mario cartoon I’m sure they didn’t think renewing the music licenses was worth it

@Ninja 4561 Thank you for uploading all 65 episodes of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Restored. Am a big fan of Super Mario shows and video games.
And as you listened to the cover versions of licensed music, did you listen to small portions of instrumental versions of their replacement songs?
38:12 Quarter-Thirdway in.
L37:40 Pre-transition Birdo, before she became Birdetta, and presumably through decades of dead-naming decided that "Birdo" was androgynous enough after all or something, because she currently self-identifies as Birdo. *TL;DR* TIL that Birdo used to have a mustache, and I've seen every episode before, multiple times... so I must be very forgetful, or I've been blinking every single time, and I don't know which one is worse?
Does anyone remember at what point they got rid of the songs in the re-airings? I was born in '86, so I have extremely vague memories of some of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show's earliest airings. Most of what I remember watching as a kid came from the Family Channel and USA Network airings of the various Mario shows throughout the early to mid '90s, and especially the Mario All-Stars compilations with animated Super Show and Super Mario World episodes (those cut out the live-action segments, though I have vague memories of watching some of those as well at some point or other). As a kid, I never really noticed or appreciated the licensed music that much, though I distinctly remember a few of them in the episodes, like "Hit The Road Jack" and "Rockin' Robin".
I also have a VHS recording of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episodes that aired on the Family Channel. From 1992, if I recall correctly (I remember because my mom made me go to gymnastics class immediately after school at the beginning of my 1st grade in elementary school, so I had to tape them while I was gone). However, while SMB3 didn't have as many legal problems with its music (I think the majority of its songs were original), there were a few such as Wipe Out, and it was already removed by the time these episodes aired.
I think they removed them when they started to rerun on the family channel. It would have had to have been after 1991 because they used instrumental music from the Super Mario world cartoon to replace many of these cover songs.
I have a Sonic underground DVD that weirdly has a Super Show episode as a bonus feature and it uses the Mario all stars intro. Plus if you switch the language to Spanish it still has the cover song intact! So I guess those were never removed for international airings.
@@pacmancdi Oh yeah, I heard about the international airings being like that, though I'm pretty surprised to hear that a domestic DVD would actually contain the dub unaltered. I wonder when the Super Show most recently aired internationally (with the songs still intact).
Also, did the replacements use Super Mario World song instrumentals? I thought I remember all of them being instrumentals of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3's songs. It's been a while since I watched my box set, maybe they did mix a few World ones in there as well.
@@YamatoFukkatsu The replacements used the Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 song instrumentals, you were correct.
Kinda sucks that this only applies here in the US though, the music selection was among the best. Heck, the cover of Money used in The Great Gold Coin Rush was done by *_THE BEATLES._*
@@YamatoFukkatsu In addition to the seven instrumental songs from AoSMB3 ("Burn, Baby, Burn", "In My Frog Suit", "It's a Dog's Life", "What Goes Up", "Town Painting", "Speedy Gondola", and "My Karoobi"), the one and only song from Super Mario World (TV series), "Motor City", was used.
Looking forward to this. Is it a mega cut of covers, or of the title song
I can't tell if this makes the show *better* or *worse*
Just when you thought Alvin and the Chipmunks was the only show at the time to do something like this, LOL!
My childhood
to this day i dont understand why regular show was able to keep all their pop songs in the home video and streaming releases of their episodes but the super mario bros super show couldn't?
It costs money to release the show with its original audio. I image Cartoon Network had more money behind it than whoever the hell owns the distribution rights to this show now.
Do you think WildBrain had the budget?
to everyone bitching about the licensed songs in the 2023 movie, this is why i’m fine with it.
No cause these were designed in mind not slapped on replacing the score Brian had to fight for
While I’m sort of fine with it. Reason why I’m mostly peeved by this, is because Brian Tyler is AMAZING at his compositions. The unused songs he made for the scenes were just too good to have been passed up. Brian himself said he’s always been a fan of Mario, and it showed how he was able to incorporate references of song motifs from various Mario games across history. To cut out stuff like that was appalling.
I hate that the dvd collections remove all these songs. I Wish I could find a decent torrent with all these songs intact.
12:07 On the DVD I had most of these were removed but this one wasn’t for some reason. It always confused me why it sounded so different from the rest of the show
So, Star Koopa, Robokoopa and Flatbush Koopa are the only episodes to not have these songs
There are 11 episodes that don't have cover songs.
Star Koopa
Flatbush Koopa
Robo Koopa
Mario of the Deep
Mario of the Apes
Escape from Koopatraz
Princess I Shrunk the Mario Bros
Little Red Riding Princess
The Provolone Ranger
Crocodile Mario
Raiders of the Lost Mushroom
@@charliecoccia8875 I wonder why they didn't get cover songs?
The UK get the restored songs on DVD and the US doesn’t? That’s not fair.
My sentiments exactly.
Would it be alright to use this video as a reference for the cover songs in my upcoming Super Mario Bros Super Show based podcast? I'll link to it in the description of each episode.
25:28 Halfway in.
I own all the cover songs on my recorded DVDs. I'm working on uploading it
Yo, please do!
Super Mario Bros 3 should be next to cover

I remember Rawhide because I have the VHS.
HELL YEAH!!
Seeing how the super show originally used licensed music I'll have to retract that criticism for the 2023 movie.
In the episode: Butch Mario and Luigi, what’s the theme when Mario, Toad and Luigi are running in the mines looking for Peach and falls?
Man, I wa so confused hearing these because I don't remember ever hearing these songs in the show. I guess the versions I watched had them removed. Such a shame! They actually make it way better
In the dvd rereleases they removed the song presumably because they lost the license to use them im sure
@@Doodle1678 they removed the actual songs due to copyright law
@@Windows98Offical yeah that’s what I said they lost the rights to the music it’s all copyrighted the only cover of a song that they kept is the William Tell Overture cause that’s public domain
I Feel Good doesn’t sound like a rap song and sugar, spice and everything nice later appeared in The Powerpuff Girls. So, spice sets someone’s mouth on fire.
Why can’t they use these voice actors to sing the Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World songs?
Ahh… but did y’all catch that ONE song that wasn’t caught to edit out. It’s on the Witch Doc’s ep. In the US DVD box set… or was it the Volcano episode?….
The episode is "Jungle Fever".
The Super Mario Bros super show and Alvin and the Chipmunks cultured us on music!
These were all replaced with stock music in the DVD releases
Nope, instrumentals of the Mario 3 songs
@Nic_2751 and also some from Super Mario World.
since we have very clear audio and full clips of said audio, is it unrealistic to attempt at overlaying the audio to make the episodes proper again and possibly archive online? or has someone already made an attempt at such?
