I remember that King Koopa walked in with earmuffs on because he didn't like the music that his daughter Kootie Pie was listening to! I lol when she threatened to scream if he didn't stop Milli Vanilli from escaping! Koopa replies, "So scream! It's sounds better than that other noise!" I most definitely agree with Koopa on that one!😂
Nowadays, the episode also works as a scarily accurate depiction of modern online discourse. If the episode were being made today, perhaps the Koopas would be trying to make money off of the division instead of planning an invasion.
I don't remember the name of that episode but I remember that the Koopalings dyed half of the mushroom people blue and the other half red. Then they turned the mushroom people against each other. The result became a racial war!
I'm utterly surprised by the fact that you didn't even mention that the first episode of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3 is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles parody, right down to the name: "Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas"
@@HappyH4ppyHappy Its true. And... as if THAT wasn't enough of a reference to the original TMNT show, they even have Bigmouth say: "I LOVE being a Koopa!"
I’m 15, but the super Mario show was also part of my childhood, my dad showed this show to me and my sister when we were like 6 and 5, I like the super show and the SMB 3 show I also USED TO LOVE THE FROG SUIT episode!
As a fellow Mario fan, I've just started watching the cartoons a couple of days ago on Christmas Break, as well as the Donkey Kong cartoon since New Year's Eve, and I'm happy to say that I already love them all!
One episode of 'The Super Mario Bros Super Show!' that stands out in my mind had a wraparound segment where voice actor Maurice LaMarche played Inspector Gadget (all of the Mario cartoons were produced by DIC who also created Gadget). Ironically, LaMarche went on to become the official voice of Gadget after Don Adams passed away. There was also another series attempt called 'King Koopa's Kool Kartoons' where an actor in a King Koopa costume hosted an afternoon kids' cartoon show. The project was pulled when 'King Koopa' responded to a fan letter in which a kid insulted Koopa and the actor replied with "Well, you can think whatever you want, but now I know where you live!" This actually happened. Look it up.
@@JasonICECarson Actually, Pinky was the genius, Brain was insane. They actually very subtly but cleverly reveal that in the Pinky and the Brain theme song, when the lyrics say "One is a genius" they show Pinky and "the other's insane" they show Brain. Throughout the segments, Brain comes up with half-baked schemes to take over the world (insane) and Pinky keeps pointing out all of the ways his schemes could - and often do - fail (genius).

I watched all three growing up and even ate that awful Nintendo Cereal Sytem.

Alea Lytle the problem is, SMBSS got everything about the personalities but didn’t get the gameplay. Whereas SMB3 and SMW got everything wrong but the gameplay (with the exception of Bowser and his Koopalings).
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 was always my favorite. The use of power-ups and the environments, each episode opening on the world map from the games (which was a huge deal to me at the time), the orange and red fire suit (still my favorite version of it), and little details like the backgrounds having note blocks, it was all great. And your rendition of the Mario 3 opening gave me chills. That opening is so good.

I remember seeing the Super Mario bros Super show as a child and even though it's cheesy and not well animated I genuinely love it. Captain Lou Albano was my Mario. And the live action segments were pretty awesome! Mario teaming up with Elvira, Winston Zeddmore, Inspector Gadget and Sargent slaughter? Now that's awesome!

Or a Mario/Power Rangers crossover(Mario could be the Pasta Ranger while Luigi could be the Green stache ranger) DO THE MARIO! *starts dancing with Pasta Power*
Maaaaaan I LOVED my childhood. Miss it so much. Loved all the Super Mario Bros. Cartoons but SMB3 was my favorite because of how accurate it was. I wanted to be Captain N so bad. Lol
its a childrens show formula that they used and kind of established in a way. mario super show has some really good ideas when it comes to making tv gripping for kids, cause in no way were any of the plots any good, but we all have such fond memories of it. i say this just cause i have a little bro 8 years younger and i started noticing the raps and end credit dance numbers in a lot of early 2000s kids stuff. (i was born 1990, but dont really consider myself a "90's kid", i caught the show way later on at 5am on a canadian cartoon block)
Yesssss I never hear anyone talk about the Mario Bros 3 cartoon! That was the one I watched the most as a kid, I had some of the VHS's of it with like, 2 or 3 episodes each on them lol. And I saw maybe a couple episodes of Mario World, but I never got to see the Super Show until I was much older.
I grew up playing Mario with my dad, we would be up untill 3 am playing it XD. Used to love the snes game Mario all stars and yoshis island. Such a legendary time to be around. The cartoons I was obsessed with as was just like the game. I use Pluto on ps4 now to watch.
Yeah, Andre's right, SMB 3 cartoon was the most accurate adaptation between the other shows. But I still loved SMB Super Show, grew with that one too. Never heard of the Super Mario World cartoon until I was older.
Probably should have mentioned how the princess is written in the Mario 3 cartoon. She's much more active and assertive in this iteration, and just better used in general. I get the feeling they got a lot of positive feedback on "The Trojan Koopa" episode of the Super Show and ran with it.
I have a very vivid memory of watching Adventures of SMB3 and eating those candy pumpkins from around Halloween. For that reason, the two are now synonymous in my mind.
All 3 Mario cartoons are all accurate, I used to watch SMB3 and SMW on KidsCo and SMBSS brought me so many memories, I remember that my cousins had a VHS tape with an episode of the SMBSS recorded in it and we watched it when we were kids back in the 1990s. Thanks for the childhood memories you bring me, Andre! Keep up the good work and cheers from Portugal 😉👍🇵🇹
You've really sold me on these shows. I have vague memories of watching them when I was young. As an adult I think many people are dismissive toward them because they're silly. But clearly they succeeded in their aim to entertain. I love how you fully embrace these goofy, nostalgic cartoons.
Yes! I'm "hooked on the brothers! The brothers! The brothers! The brothers! lol, yes! "Just like that!" "D i c !" LOL! Love that show and the rap intro/outro; that's my jam! Love the game as well! Best game EVER!!!! ON LIFE!!!! I love Milli Vanilli!!!! "cause I'm in love girl, I'm so in love, girl, cause this is true! ooo, ooo, ooo!" They on my playlist today!!! Love them!!! I watch the Super Mario Brothers Super Show on netflix . thank you for sharing that the other shows are available, good looking! I have not tried those meals. Sounds flavorful. Great video!
Thank you! I always felt The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 was the more accurate portrayal of the video game than Super Mario Super Show or Super Mario World. From use of the power ups, the use of the 8 Worlds in the game as backdrops and using them at the beginning of every episode. Heck its the only one of the Mario cartoons to call Koopa by his real name Bowser! Even though I enjoyed Super Show's references to movies and Rap Land was my favorite episode. But at times the lack of complete references to the game and up worlds like Pasta Land, Rotonda Land, The Oriental City of Sayonara etc were a deal breaker at times for me. Adventures of Mario 3 was what envisioned that Mario Bros cartoon is supposed to look like the only thing that it was missing was a Christmas episode. Super Show had a Christmas episode and so did World. Why didn't Adventures of Mario 3 get one? I mean the plot would have been easy. Christmas time is coming around in the Mushroom Kingdom, Santa (while setting up shop in Ice Land) is about to make his annual rounds and all of the kids are excited about what Santa is bringing them. Except of course the Koopa Kids because they're on the naughty list and naturally the main one making the biggest fuss about it is Kootie Pie because she's a spoiled brat. 😄 So Bowser comes with a plan with the help of his mad genius son Kooky to make a machine that takes away all the toys from Santa's Bag and Mario, Luigi Princess Toadstool and Toad have to get them back.
I remember this. Andre you nailed the song entirely. A show that just delivers smiles, and fun. And the animation, miss these so much. Hope someday Mario & the rest of the Nintendo crew return in another animation one day. But the upcoming Mario film, no doubt it will be fun. But nothing can compare to the shows we grew up with.
I was born in 1992, so I missed out on the initial hype of the DiC Mario cartoons. However, I managed to get into the shows starting in 2006, and I like them quite a bit. My favorite is The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. The show has quite a few accuracies from its source game, and I absolutely love the portrayal of the Koopalings. I...actually prefer their game names, but still dig many of their personalities, like Kooky's inventiveness and Hip and Hop's close bond. The Super Mario Bros. Super Show is still fun, if only for the outlandish callbacks to popular media, and I liked seeing Yoshi talk in Super Mario World. Devour is a great food product. I have gotten rather hooked to those meals since 2018. My favorite is the philly cheesesteak, followed by the buffalo chicken and turkey bacon cheddar sandwich. Nice video!
I agree with Andre on this, the Super Mario Bros 3 cartoon was the best. It LOOKED like the game, it SOUNDED like the game and it referenced the power ups. I love the fact that the colour palette limitation of Fire Mario from the game was used and they didn't go for the normal red and white colour scheme. It definitely is the most accurate of the three Mario cartoons. I do like the Super Show and Super Mario World cartoons, but the adventures of SMB3 is the one I go back and watch the most!
I love stopping by Andre's channel. It brightens up my day. He's just so into the stuff he's into and seems genuinely excited to talk about it and share his memories.
This vid just made my day. Not only did he give me back memories from my childhood, he also used my favorite transformers quote in his ad. DA WHOLE PLATE. Man you are still my favorite youtuber. Cant wait for the next vid
The Milli Vanilli episode was aired a few weeks before the hoax was revealed, and to think that in the episode they say they "can't sing without the rest of their band"
The super show focuses on smb 1 & 2 (doki doki panic); the adventures of smb3 is the sequel series and Super Mario World comes after, they're linked together chronologically and all match of their source material
Man when I tell you I had the original DVDs of the super mario Bros cartoons and I had pawned them for a small loan. I was gonna get them back. Then months later I forgot all about them and I lost the whole collection. To this day I'm still pissed about it!! Yeah I could get the originals online like eBay or Amazon but they priced them sky high! And they're used?? SMFH
I loved that episode Super Koopa where King Koopa uses an amulet created by Kooky to use the same abilities as the Marios, but it only worked in the Real World.
I couldn’t agree more with you Andre. My 4 year old is CRAZY into Mario right now so I introduced him to the old shows. He didn’t care for the live action stuff, and I don’t know what they were thinking with Mario World (it feels like Mario and Luigi walked into the wrong cartoon) but Mario 3 is great and he loves it. We’ve watched though the series a couple times now.
While growing up in the 90's, I first heard of Super Mario Bros. Super Show when I heard Rowdy Rody Piper first appeared as the guess star and from that point on, I been hooked on the show and follow by New Super Mario World
Each cartoon was perfect synergy with the games. I remember being so excited to see Mario use a power up in the cartoon, then plugging in Super Mario 2 and playing it until I couldn't stand it anymore.
RIP Captain Lou. The first time I heard of the Super Mario cartoons was through my school's book fair. They would give us these catalogues in advance in case we wanted to special order something, and one of the things in the catalogue was a VHS of the Super Mario Brothers Super Show, specifically the Koopzilla episode. So I made sure to get that and was able to see a few episodes that way, but at the time the SMBSS wasn't in syndication on any of our stations, so I couldn't watch it. So I was really excited when the SMB3 cartoon came around, and I agree that it's the best of the cartoons. My sister and I used to pretend to be Koopa Kids and that our dad was "King Dad." I saw the racism episode on UA-cam a few years ago for the first time in decades, and I was shocked at how accurate and deep a commentary it was by a TV show aimed at eight year olds to promote video games about squashing evil mushrooms and turtles.
I remember that! Kootie Pie was jealous that Princess Toadstool was going to a Milli Vanilli concert. So King Koopa and Chincy used the doom ship to kidnap them. I remember the funniest part was that Koopa hated Milli Vanilli so much that he told Kootie Pie that her screaming tantrums sounded better than that other noise!😂
The memories of Mario is great, they got Mario 3 exactly the same as the cartoon and I loved it, seeing all the bad guys of Mario in the cartoon is sick. I watch them on Pluto a app. Take a sub for being a Mario fan and bringing back some golden memories.
When I was a kid in the eighties I got a record from a Target store that had a Donkey Kong adventure on it. Mario was the hero and owned a pizza place.
This was a really fun (& topical for the 35th) video, Andre! Totally agree that the Mario 3 cartoon doesn't get talked about nearly enough compared to its significantly-less-accurate predecessor. I actually first saw all three cartoons the same way (VHS releases) and my mind was BLOWN when I discovered each subsequent one. (Much in the same way I grew up on Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and then a random SatAM VHS introduced me to a new world of possibility. "There was a Sonic cartoon that was like the comics?!" *Insert explosion sound*) I remember being shocked by the Mario World cartoon in particular because it was on a generic Christmas-themed VHS that was just labeled "Super Mario Bros." Certainly was not expecting to get my first view of an animated Yoshi when I popped it in. Two random cartoon-related thoughts: First, I love how Harvey Atkin (RIP) as King Bowser Koopa (a full name they actually use in the Mario 3 cartoon on occasion) was the most consistent element across all three cartoons. The Bros and the Princess swapped voices after the Super Show and Toad was dropped in favor of Caveman Bart Simpson in World, but ol' Koopa was still the same as he ever was by World. (Minus his weird King K. Rool-esque disguise gimmick in Super Show.) Even in cartoons Bowser is the best. Lastly, even though World had the weird Caveman focus, it still had plenty of really cool game-centric bits. (Namely the musical montages where Mario just goes to work and some neat other touches like Koopa's neon castle consistently being the one from the end of World. They even use the Star Road in an episode!) Anyway, really enjoyed this and hope you're planning on talking about more old cartoons in the near future, Andre, as these are definitely my favorite type of video you do as an animation nerd myself. 😊 (Maybe you could do a video on the Sonic cartoons for his 30th next year? Just an idea.)
One of my personal favorite live action segments from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show was when Maurice LaMarche himself appeared as Inspector Gadget to have his gadgets repaired by Mario and Luigi. Ever since then, I was hoping for a Super Mario Bros. and Inspector Gadget crossover for the cartoon.
my first was the SMB3 show, I had it on vhs as a kid and watched it so much it wore out but they only ever aired the super show on tv here so I remember that better (for some reason the tv version here left out Zelda?? No idea why)
Super Mario Bros 3 is my favorite video game of all time! I'm all the way in love with it. The cartoon was excellent. I'm currently binge watching all of them.
It’s no wonder why Super Mario Bros 3 was more potential than Super Mario Bros Show, it sticks to the true formula of the third game and had a lot of elements properly used. In fact the 90s for animation was kind of staring to age well, that’s nicely said of you. I recommend you review the animated series of Sonic the Hedgehog (The Adventures, Satam, Underground and more TV series related to Sonic) that would be so awesome.
Thank you for doing a video on these cartoons, Andre! I didn't "grow up" on these cartoons, so to speak, but I actually found out about them through UA-cam as a kid. Ever since then, I was hooked! Although I watched far too many YTPs than I'm prepared to admit lol 😂 The episode of SMBSS with Cindy Lauper was my personal favorite. I have 2 nephews, and I actually got the younger one hooked on the Super Mario Bros. Super Show when he was a kid, through UA-cam. It's always fun to take something that you enjoyed during your childhood, and pass it on to the next generation.
I still can't believe you haven't hit 1 million subscribers yet! Seriously, I have been subscribed for years and I keep wondering what more can you do to reach those 7 digits?
I'm glad someone else likes the cartoon version of the koopa kids name better then video game version. To me the cartoon names just fit better then the musician ones. Maybe the just my nostalgia talking tho. Between the Super Mario bros Super show, The Legend of Zelda and Captain N, i was in heaven as a child
I work at Safeway and stock the shelves at night, most nights I refer to the frozen meal section for my lunch, Devour is honestly one of the better brands for frozen meals, their pastas and potato based meals are great, Marie Calendars is probably next best for me, and Boston Market seem to be pretty good too
I'll be honest with y'all. The only reason I watched all 3 of the Super Mario Bros cartoons (with the Super Mario Bros 3 cartoon being my favorite of the lot) was because of my crush on princess Toadstool at the time, and rewatch my favorite episode, "The Beauty of Kootie Pie," since I loved seeing Kootie Pie (a.k.a Wendy O.) koopa in human form. By the way Andre, since you shared your thoughts on Mario Bros cartoons of the 90's, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the 3 Sonic cartoons of the 90's (which I bet you saw coming a mile away after opening the floor to suggestions).
Hah, I feel exactly the same way. I even first read about Super Show in the at Nintendo Power article, and then would sing the rap song along with the show, I was totally into that! But yeah, as much as I love Super Show, and love love love the crazy live action segments, Mario 3 is the better cartoon. I just miss Wells and Albano in there though.
The Milli Vanilli episode not only cut the Blame It On the Rain song, they cut King Koopa saying, "Blame it on the rain? Blame it on the Koopa." His lips move and then he says, 'Blame it on the Koopa." Being produced by DiC, Tracey Moore voiced Princess Toadstool before she would Sailor Moon in some of the first season episodes.
I always thought of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show's Intro Rap as the Mario equivalent to the Donkey Kong 64 Monkey Rap. And I love both in equal measure.
I always saw the super mario 3 show as a continuation of the previous series and the same with super mario world, and never actually saw them as compition.
Many fans remember the Capt. Lou Albano and Danny Wells live action segments from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Fewer in number are those who remember the Club Mario refit starring Chris Coombs and Michael Rawlins.

Yep. There's a sentence you never thought you'd say, huh?
Shroom Lives Matter!
I remember that and the one where people turned into Koopas.
Nowadays, the episode also works as a scarily accurate depiction of modern online discourse. If the episode were being made today, perhaps the Koopas would be trying to make money off of the division instead of planning an invasion.

An “Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3” VHS is what first introduced me to the franchise in 1998, when I was first getting into video games
All 3 Mario cartoons are all accurate, I used to watch SMB3 and SMW on KidsCo and SMBSS brought me so many memories, I remember that my cousins had a VHS tape with an episode of the SMBSS recorded in it and we watched it when we were kids back in the 1990s.
Thanks for the childhood memories you bring me, Andre! Keep up the good work and cheers from Portugal 😉👍🇵🇹
I used to love these cartoons!!! So awesome to reminisce!
I remember Doing The Mario at the end.
You've really sold me on these shows. I have vague memories of watching them when I was young. As an adult I think many people are dismissive toward them because they're silly. But clearly they succeeded in their aim to entertain. I love how you fully embrace these goofy, nostalgic cartoons.
I’m 36 and proudly own the two box sets of Super Mario Bros Super Show and Mario 3 on DVD.
"I ate the whole plate." Lindsay Ellis will be proud.
Yes! I'm "hooked on the brothers! The brothers! The brothers! The brothers! lol, yes! "Just like that!" "D i c !" LOL! Love that show and the rap intro/outro; that's my jam! Love the game as well! Best game EVER!!!! ON LIFE!!!! I love Milli Vanilli!!!! "cause I'm in love girl, I'm so in love, girl, cause this is true! ooo, ooo, ooo!" They on my playlist today!!! Love them!!! I watch the Super Mario Brothers Super Show on netflix . thank you for sharing that the other shows are available, good looking! I have not tried those meals. Sounds flavorful. Great video!
Thank you!
I always felt The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 was the more accurate portrayal of the video game than Super Mario Super Show or Super Mario World. From use of the power ups, the use of the 8 Worlds in the game as backdrops and using them at the beginning of every episode. Heck its the only one of the Mario cartoons to call Koopa by his real name Bowser!
Even though I enjoyed Super Show's references to movies and Rap Land was my favorite episode. But at times the lack of complete references to the game and up worlds like Pasta Land, Rotonda Land, The Oriental City of Sayonara etc were a deal breaker at times for me. Adventures of Mario 3 was what envisioned that Mario Bros cartoon is supposed to look like the only thing that it was missing was a Christmas episode. Super Show had a Christmas episode and so did World. Why didn't Adventures of Mario 3 get one?
I mean the plot would have been easy. Christmas time is coming around in the Mushroom Kingdom, Santa (while setting up shop in Ice Land) is about to make his annual rounds and all of the kids are excited about what Santa is bringing them. Except of course the Koopa Kids because they're on the naughty list and naturally the main one making the biggest fuss about it is Kootie Pie because she's a spoiled brat. 😄 So Bowser comes with a plan with the help of his mad genius son Kooky to make a machine that takes away all the toys from Santa's Bag and Mario, Luigi Princess Toadstool and Toad have to get them back.
I remember this. Andre you nailed the song entirely. A show that just delivers smiles, and fun. And the animation, miss these so much. Hope someday Mario & the rest of the Nintendo crew return in another animation one day.
But the upcoming Mario film, no doubt it will be fun. But nothing can compare to the shows we grew up with.
I was born in 1992, so I missed out on the initial hype of the DiC Mario cartoons. However, I managed to get into the shows starting in 2006, and I like them quite a bit.
My favorite is The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. The show has quite a few accuracies from its source game, and I absolutely love the portrayal of the Koopalings. I...actually prefer their game names, but still dig many of their personalities, like Kooky's inventiveness and Hip and Hop's close bond.
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show is still fun, if only for the outlandish callbacks to popular media, and I liked seeing Yoshi talk in Super Mario World.
Devour is a great food product. I have gotten rather hooked to those meals since 2018. My favorite is the philly cheesesteak, followed by the buffalo chicken and turkey bacon cheddar sandwich.
Nice video!
I agree with Andre on this, the Super Mario Bros 3 cartoon was the best. It LOOKED like the game, it SOUNDED like the game and it referenced the power ups.
I love the fact that the colour palette limitation of Fire Mario from the game was used and they didn't go for the normal red and white colour scheme.
It definitely is the most accurate of the three Mario cartoons. I do like the Super Show and Super Mario World cartoons, but the adventures of SMB3 is the one I go back and watch the most!
I love stopping by Andre's channel. It brightens up my day. He's just so into the stuff he's into and seems genuinely excited to talk about it and share his memories.
This vid just made my day. Not only did he give me back memories from my childhood, he also used my favorite transformers quote in his ad. DA WHOLE PLATE. Man you are still my favorite youtuber. Cant wait for the next vid
I'm always impressed you retained all these songs and themes.
The Milli Vanilli episode was aired a few weeks before the hoax was revealed, and to think that in the episode they say they "can't sing without the rest of their band"
That’s a stone Luigi, you didn’t make that!
It’s a football, I chiseled it!
Ooga block! Teamwork!
@@JackTASM2 It's even official size. But not official weight. 😄
Could you do an episode covering the various Sonic the Hedgehog cartoons, please?
The super show focuses on smb 1 & 2 (doki doki panic); the adventures of smb3 is the sequel series and Super Mario World comes after, they're linked together chronologically and all match of their source material
Man when I tell you I had the original DVDs of the super mario Bros cartoons and I had pawned them for a small loan. I was gonna get them back. Then months later I forgot all about them and I lost the whole collection. To this day I'm still pissed about it!! Yeah I could get the originals online like eBay or Amazon but they priced them sky high! And they're used?? SMFH
I don't care what anybody says, i loved the Super Mario Cartoons as a kid, i still like them to this day. Super Mario Bros 3 was my favorite.
I loved that episode Super Koopa where King Koopa uses an amulet created by Kooky to use the same abilities as the Marios, but it only worked in the Real World.
I couldn’t agree more with you Andre. My 4 year old is CRAZY into Mario right now so I introduced him to the old shows. He didn’t care for the live action stuff, and I don’t know what they were thinking with Mario World (it feels like Mario and Luigi walked into the wrong cartoon) but Mario 3 is great and he loves it. We’ve watched though the series a couple times now.
loved the super mario super show, have a hard time recalling the lyrics, but the tune still pops into my head
Do The Mario!
While growing up in the 90's, I first heard of Super Mario Bros. Super Show when I heard Rowdy Rody Piper first appeared as the guess star and from that point on, I been hooked on the show and follow by New Super Mario World
Andre the Giant Black Nerd paying respect to Captain Lou. Good stuff.
Each cartoon was perfect synergy with the games. I remember being so excited to see Mario use a power up in the cartoon, then plugging in Super Mario 2 and playing it until I couldn't stand it anymore.
RIP Captain Lou.
The first time I heard of the Super Mario cartoons was through my school's book fair. They would give us these catalogues in advance in case we wanted to special order something, and one of the things in the catalogue was a VHS of the Super Mario Brothers Super Show, specifically the Koopzilla episode. So I made sure to get that and was able to see a few episodes that way, but at the time the SMBSS wasn't in syndication on any of our stations, so I couldn't watch it. So I was really excited when the SMB3 cartoon came around, and I agree that it's the best of the cartoons. My sister and I used to pretend to be Koopa Kids and that our dad was "King Dad."
I saw the racism episode on UA-cam a few years ago for the first time in decades, and I was shocked at how accurate and deep a commentary it was by a TV show aimed at eight year olds to promote video games about squashing evil mushrooms and turtles.
Both are good, but 3 a better education of the game. Plus, they had Milli Vanilli on as a guest.
I remember that! Kootie Pie was jealous that Princess Toadstool was going to a Milli Vanilli concert. So King Koopa and Chincy used the doom ship to kidnap them. I remember the funniest part was that Koopa hated Milli Vanilli so much that he told Kootie Pie that her screaming tantrums sounded better than that other noise!😂
I still on both copies of those DVDs
The memories of Mario is great, they got Mario 3 exactly the same as the cartoon and I loved it, seeing all the bad guys of Mario in the cartoon is sick. I watch them on Pluto a app. Take a sub for being a Mario fan and bringing back some golden memories.
Aww, no mention of the episode where mario gets traumatized of water and wanted to stay in a underwater kingdom because of his trauma?
Heh I grew up watching those, thank you so much for the nostalgia
They're legally available here on UA-cam for free. Just search 'Super Mario WildBrain' and you should find the playlists.
@@Undrave thanks
When I was a kid, I had that lunch tray you have in the background!
I could only think of the Super Mario bros super show intro when I first saw the thumbnail. Thanks I guess.
Oh, Devour because Chain Chomp, got it
When I was a kid in the eighties I got a record from a Target store that had a Donkey Kong adventure on it. Mario was the hero and owned a pizza place.
This was a really fun (& topical for the 35th) video, Andre! Totally agree that the Mario 3 cartoon doesn't get talked about nearly enough compared to its significantly-less-accurate predecessor. I actually first saw all three cartoons the same way (VHS releases) and my mind was BLOWN when I discovered each subsequent one. (Much in the same way I grew up on Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and then a random SatAM VHS introduced me to a new world of possibility. "There was a Sonic cartoon that was like the comics?!" *Insert explosion sound*) I remember being shocked by the Mario World cartoon in particular because it was on a generic Christmas-themed VHS that was just labeled "Super Mario Bros." Certainly was not expecting to get my first view of an animated Yoshi when I popped it in.
Two random cartoon-related thoughts: First, I love how Harvey Atkin (RIP) as King Bowser Koopa (a full name they actually use in the Mario 3 cartoon on occasion) was the most consistent element across all three cartoons. The Bros and the Princess swapped voices after the Super Show and Toad was dropped in favor of Caveman Bart Simpson in World, but ol' Koopa was still the same as he ever was by World. (Minus his weird King K. Rool-esque disguise gimmick in Super Show.) Even in cartoons Bowser is the best. Lastly, even though World had the weird Caveman focus, it still had plenty of really cool game-centric bits. (Namely the musical montages where Mario just goes to work and some neat other touches like Koopa's neon castle consistently being the one from the end of World. They even use the Star Road in an episode!)
Anyway, really enjoyed this and hope you're planning on talking about more old cartoons in the near future, Andre, as these are definitely my favorite type of video you do as an animation nerd myself. 😊 (Maybe you could do a video on the Sonic cartoons for his 30th next year? Just an idea.)
One of my personal favorite live action segments from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show was when Maurice LaMarche himself appeared as Inspector Gadget to have his gadgets repaired by Mario and Luigi. Ever since then, I was hoping for a Super Mario Bros. and Inspector Gadget crossover for the cartoon.
my first was the SMB3 show, I had it on vhs as a kid and watched it so much it wore out but they only ever aired the super show on tv here so I remember that better (for some reason the tv version here left out Zelda?? No idea why)
Super Mario Bros 3 is my favorite video game of all time! I'm all the way in love with it. The cartoon was excellent. I'm currently binge watching all of them.
Been watching this channel for years and somethin about this episode feels so crisp and new
The Halloween episode of the Super Mario Bros Super Show with special guest Elvira was my favorite episode.
It’s no wonder why Super Mario Bros 3 was more potential than Super Mario Bros Show, it sticks to the true formula of the third game and had a lot of elements properly used. In fact the 90s for animation was kind of staring to age well, that’s nicely said of you. I recommend you review the animated series of Sonic the Hedgehog (The Adventures, Satam, Underground and more TV series related to Sonic) that would be so awesome.
I don't recall any Mario Bros cartoons. Back in the day, I saw the live action film, we don't need to speak on that.🤣
TERRANCE OUT
Not to mention they actually used in game sounds & music. 😍💯😁
This show always reminded me of sonic and tnmt and ghost busters and he-man and the smurfs and that one show with the orange cat and not garfield
Andre back uploading!!! We lit!
Thanks for talking about these cartoons! I loved them!!!:)
Thank you for doing a video on these cartoons, Andre! I didn't "grow up" on these cartoons, so to speak, but I actually found out about them through UA-cam as a kid. Ever since then, I was hooked! Although I watched far too many YTPs than I'm prepared to admit lol 😂 The episode of SMBSS with Cindy Lauper was my personal favorite.
I have 2 nephews, and I actually got the younger one hooked on the Super Mario Bros. Super Show when he was a kid, through UA-cam. It's always fun to take something that you enjoyed during your childhood, and pass it on to the next generation.
@16:42 "You're not going to hear Milli Vanilli sing..." Has anyone ever heard them sing though?
I loved all three Mario cartoons!! Ngl I was singing them theme songs with you Andre 😂
I still can't believe you haven't hit 1 million subscribers yet! Seriously, I have been subscribed for years and I keep wondering what more can you do to reach those 7 digits?
Just realized that I thought he been passed a mill
@@justlikebck5162 Nope, people just assume I have. All I can do is make the videos, can't force people to subscribe. But thanks if you do.
Just doing the best I can. But thank you for being a subscriber.
Black Nerd Comedy bro I’ve been been a customer of you free nostalgia for a long time you bring back my childhood 😤
That Super Mario Bros Super Show was MY JAM growing up!! Thank you for doing the ENTIRE RAP! My nostalgia is LIVING!!
I'm glad someone else likes the cartoon version of the koopa kids name better then video game version. To me the cartoon names just fit better then the musician ones. Maybe the just my nostalgia talking tho. Between the Super Mario bros Super show, The Legend of Zelda and Captain N, i was in heaven as a child
I work at Safeway and stock the shelves at night, most nights I refer to the frozen meal section for my lunch, Devour is honestly one of the better brands for frozen meals, their pastas and potato based meals are great, Marie Calendars is probably next best for me, and Boston Market seem to be pretty good too
Some neer do well hacker added King Koopa into New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Which is the best thing ever. RIP Havey Atkin.
I wish they’d reboot The Super Mario Bros. Super Show.
I think Andre just uses this old cartoons just so he can sing the theme songs and other songs in the show 😂😂😂😂😂
Your cap just keeps reminding me on how badly I want to see footage of space Jam 2 already.
I'll be honest with y'all. The only reason I watched all 3 of the Super Mario Bros cartoons (with the Super Mario Bros 3 cartoon being my favorite of the lot) was because of my crush on princess Toadstool at the time, and rewatch my favorite episode, "The Beauty of Kootie Pie," since I loved seeing Kootie Pie (a.k.a Wendy O.) koopa in human form.
By the way Andre, since you shared your thoughts on Mario Bros cartoons of the 90's, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the 3 Sonic cartoons of the 90's (which I bet you saw coming a mile away after opening the floor to suggestions).
Hah, I feel exactly the same way. I even first read about Super Show in the at Nintendo Power article, and then would sing the rap song along with the show, I was totally into that! But yeah, as much as I love Super Show, and love love love the crazy live action segments, Mario 3 is the better cartoon. I just miss Wells and Albano in there though.
The best version was CLUB MARIO. "Where the airwaves are our waves!"
I watched most off the all 3 Super Mario Bros shows with my uncle and I loved it. It was awesome, I can’t wait for the movie.
Oooh, did Andre get an equipment upgrade? This video looks SHARP! Hope you continue going up, man!
Great video! Brings back memories
Great video, Andre! I really enjoyed it. It made me want to play Super Mario 35!
The Milli Vanilli episode not only cut the Blame It On the Rain song, they cut King Koopa saying, "Blame it on the rain? Blame it on the Koopa." His lips move and then he says, 'Blame it on the Koopa." Being produced by DiC, Tracey Moore voiced Princess Toadstool before she would Sailor Moon in some of the first season episodes.
I always thought of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show's Intro Rap as the Mario equivalent to the Donkey Kong 64 Monkey Rap. And I love both in equal measure.
I've heard about Mario Bros 3 cartoon a lot but never watched it. Watching you talk about it really makes me want to give it a try!
Did you ever watch it?
I wonder what you think about ReBoot from the early 90's
OMG yes!!!!
maybe, I've fell behind on your videos...idk, but I love to see a theme intro again...been so long!!
I always saw the super mario 3 show as a continuation of the previous series and the same with super mario world, and never actually saw them as compition.
I forgot how dope the Mario cartoons were, especially Mario 3. When are we going to get a video about the GOAT kids game show, Video Power?
Keep counting on Mario 35th anniversary 👍
Don’t forget the sonic underground theme song that would play in the previews before
Many fans remember the Capt. Lou Albano and Danny Wells live action segments from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Fewer in number are those who remember the Club Mario refit starring Chris Coombs and Michael Rawlins.
