I hope you are ready to get hooked on the brothers. The Super Mario Brothers Super Show is coming to ME-TV Toons starting on March 30th, just a couple days before The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hits theaters.
This show featured a mixture of live action and animated segments. The live action segments featured wrestler "Captain" Lou Albano as Mario and Danny Wells as Luigi. These segments took on a sitcom like format featuring the brothers in their day job as plumbers. Along the way they would meet such guest stars as Donna Douglas (pretty much reprising her role from The Beverly Hillbillies), Cassandra Peterson (AKA Elvira), Ernie Hudson, Magic Johnson, Cyndi Lauper, Maurice LaMarche (as Inspector Gadget), Danica McKellar, Sgt. Slaughter, Vanna White, Moon Zappa and more. The animated segments included cartoons based off the Mario Brothers video games and the Legend of Zelda video games. Both the live action and animated segments are full of a certain corny 1980's charm that will still appeal to Nintendo fans of all ages.
This show ran from September 4 to December 1, 1989 and would be followed by two sequel shows, The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 (1990) and Super Mario World (1991). It also received a bizarre spin off show titled King Koopa's Kool Kartoons (1989).
The show will air on the channel weekdays at 8am (7am central).
