A half live, half action show from the late 1980's devoted to The Super Mario Bros. This series had 24 crazy episodes each starting and ending with live Mario and Luigi fun with a Mario cartoon in the middle. As a special treat, near the end of each show there would be clips for an upcoming Zelda cartoon.
The show makes references to characters like Pee Wee Herman, Mark Twain, and Frankenstein to name a few. Some episodes even do parodies of popular stories like that of King Arthur and Camelot. Each episode is crazier than the last and you'll either be laughing at its shear awesomeness or extreme suckiness. How can you go wrong with a half live, half action show that revolves around Mario and Luigi? It's not like the main characters who are older Italian gentleman dressed up like women to appear as their cousins in one of the first episodes.
Noteworthy Episodes
This exciting episode of the Super Show is all about pirates. Mario and Luigi are going for a nice boat ride with a Pirate Captain that only asks them to peel potatoes. Of course Mario has food on his mind and suggests peeling potatoes into noodles for pasta. The Pirate Captain warns them about Blackbeard Koopa, the meanest pirate that ever sailed. They meet up with Blackbeard and are of course attacked by his ship. In the battle the Princess was captured and the Bros., Toad, and the Pirate Captain were tied to their mast to be left for dead. Mario manages to get a star to become Super Mario, and they make their escape. They try to infiltrate the enemy sea port by becoming pirate's themselves. Mario becomes Captain Kidder and Luigi is Long John Spaghetti, Luigi blends in by ordering milk in a dirty glass from the bar keep. Of course the Mario Bros. save the day and the Princess, but not before a sword fight. Below are some screen shots from this exciting episode. | ||
