The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!
“Hey, Paisanos! It's the Super Mario Brothers' Super Show!”
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.

I think something most people don't realize is how accurate this show was for what we had back in the 80s for Super Mario. Since this show was (most likely) going off of what Mario was in Japan, Bowser would be known as King Koopa and Mario and Luigi would have inverted colors on their clothing. This would be highly true to the Japanese version of Super Mario. I think this show has some great music compositions, too. The theme song is really catchy. The character designs could've been better, like how Mario just looks a little _too_ fat... And with voice acting, they chose great ones especially since Charles Martinet wasn't the official voice of Mario yet. Overall, this was a pretty accurate show for being from 1989.
