The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

1989 · 1 season

A loud, silly cartoon romp with cheesy live-action skits, best enjoyed as nostalgic background noise for kids.

Tagline: Hey, Paisanos! It's the Super Mario Brothers' Super Show!
Overview: In 1989 the two most famous plumbers from Brooklyn burst out of the Nintendo game world and onto television screens across America. The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! aired weekday afternoons and brought Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and King Koopa more thrilling adventures as cartoon characters. And if that weren't enough, each episode also contained live-action segments featuring Mario and Luigi running their Brooklyn plumbing shop - all before they were flushed down a drainpipe into the Mushroom World.
How it feels: Light, absurd, campy and whimsical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Friendship, power, family, loyalty
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
