Gripping story with well-crafted characters

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Super Mario Bros can be forever known as the game that saved the Video Game Industry when it was release in the 80s.Now it has it own TV shows. The Super Mario Bros Super Show is one of the rarest shows to mix live action and animation.The live action stage of the show was pretty funny and it feature cameos from stars of the 1980s. Lou Albano played Mario in the live action scenes as well as voiced Mario in the cartoon, Danny Wells did the same but as Luigi.They were join by Princess Toadstool and Toad in the animation series as they battle the evil King Koopa.What makes the Super Mario Bros Super Show a cool show was the fact in the animation segment each episode look and feel like the video game as well as using music from the game along with the sound effects we all knew and love from the games plus the enemies in the game make appearances in the series as well make it more creative.Watching it again make you feel like a kid again and this show really give you the feel that they wanted it to feel like the Mario bros games and they did it right.The series is full of fun, comedy, action and it just one of those shows you can't help but watch as the song goes You'll be hook on the brothers

I love the Super Mario video games. Who doesn't? Since 1985, Mario, his young brother Luigi, the beautiful Princess Peach, and other memorable characters adored video game players from generation to generation. However, there is one TV show that should be forgotten for a long time: The Super Mario Bros Super Show. Wow, what a long title!!! I don't hate Lou Albano and Danny Wells because hey, at least they were the only actors who put effort in the life action segments. It's the animated segments I'm having a problem with. Princess Peach, Toad, and Bowser(He is called King Koopa in this TV series) look positively, absolutely, indubitably NOTHING like themselves from the video games! There are these sappy jokes involving spaghetti, pasta, and countless Italian made food products(Not that I don't like Italian made products since I'm 1/4th Italian). Also, the animation is abysmal. Is it me or is the animation done by the same nincompoops who did the poorly animated pre-1980's Hanna-Babara cartoons? And finally, why couldn't you make a face for the guy who's supposed to look like a parody of Indiana Jones? Are you that lazy?!! This is the laziest TV series in the history of TV Land and it should have stick to the live-action sitcom-like segments involving Mario(Lou Albano) and Luigi(Danny Wells). Lazy is as lazy does, that's all I could say.

While I haven't seen every episode (compared to the other Mario cartoons) and also the Legend of Zelda segments, I still think that the show is good. The show was split into two, a live action part with guest stars from the era (the 80s) and the cartoon. I didn't mind and even liked some of the live action parts with goofy Lou Albano and Danny Wells as Mario & Luigi but I enjoyed the cartoon better. There are parodies of film, books and legends in the show, but I only seen some of the parody episodes but I liked them but not as much as the earlier produced episodes which give a vintage charm due to better plotting.I don't know why, but I find this series better animated than the next 2 Mario cartoons due to less colouring goofs and better voice acting, especially from Princess Toadstool (compared with SMB3 and Super Mario World) and the Mario Brothers sound more courageous (even Luigi, believe or not) which also introduced their Brooklyn accent. Even Mouser in the show has a good Pseudo German accent and character as well as King Koopa, my favourite character due to his lines and actions however he looks different compared to the games. During an episode, there would be a music track in the background that are covers from real bands and singers like Michael Jackson's Bad or Proud Mary. It is a shame that the US DVD releases have these omitted, while it doesn't make much difference in Super Mario Bros. 3 (except the Milli Vanilli episode) this is like a huge difference in mood and setting. I even compared King Mario of Cramelot US when it was aired on Yahooligans with the UK DVD which has the original music and I found the UK one more enjoyable with the Mario and King Koopa scenes, the US one was far less exciting, however it still had the remixed soundtrack of the Mario games as well in all episodes. One thing that's legendary is Do The Mario which still shows the test of time and is quite fun to dance to for the kids.This is probably the best Mario cartoon since it started it all and is such a timeless classic that you should buy it or if it is aired somewhere, watch it.

This here is a one of a kind video game spin off of Super Mario Bros. 1 & 2 and a spin off of the first 2 Legend of Zelda games.It was made back in 1989 and ran for one season. What's cool about it is you get to see WWF's Captain Lou Albano as Mario. Even get to see him dressed as Mario in the Live Action segments of each episode.You'll see some Celebrities on each live action segments as well. Best ones are with Ernie Hudson(when Ghostbusters 2 was still new) and Magic Johnson(before he announced he had HIV).Throughout the series the Mario Bros. along with Peach and Toad travel the Mushroom World and being chased by King Koopa(Bowser) who's accompanied by Koopa Troopas, Shy Guy, or sometimes Tricycle the 3 headed serpent and Mouser the giant Mouse with shades.Despite that this was made 16 years ago, the animation seemed better days. A good number of the episodes have animation mistakes, wrong lines, and a few flaws in the story that make an episode so and so.But it's still good to see. Just know it has a lot of stuff you wouldn't find in the game. Plus King Koopa looks way different than his Video Game appearance.And also there's the Legend of Zelda episodes(13 in total). They're OK to see. A few good ones, just wish they do a better job with Link and Zelda's appearances. Link has brown hair and is less serious than his video game appearance, and Zelda is more tomboyish and doesn't even wear any thing similar to what's she's like in the Video Game. At least it has stuff you'd find from the old Zelda Games. Just 75% different.I highly recommend this to certain Nintendo Fans. Mainly those who are obsess with old school games or cartoons at least. This cartoon is suitable to all ages. Just contains cartoon mischief."Do the Mario" is a really cool theme song.
