Back-Up Preservation of Mario Show Article
This is just for my use, in case a vandal comes up and wrecks the Mario Show article again:

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! was the first American television series based upon Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. series of video games. It was originally broadcast via first-run syndication to mostly independent or FOX television stations from September 4, 1989 to December 4, 1989, whereupon repeating episodes and Club Mario re-edited episodes were broadcast until September 6, 1991. The Family Channel commenced broadcast of the series in the United States from September 23, 1991 to August 26, 1994 as reruns. The show was produced by DiC Animation and was distributed by Viacom Enterprises.

Mario Bros. Plumbing Sitcom
The first and last parts of each episode were sitcom segments which showed Mario ("Captain" Lou Albano) and Luigi (Danny Wells) living in Brooklyn, where they would often be visited by celebrity guest stars. These parts were performed and filmed before a live studio audience. Some of the celebrity guest stars were popular television stars, such as Nedra Volz, Norman Fell, Donna Douglas, Eve Plumb, Vanna White, Jim Lange, Danica McKellar, Nicole Eggert, Clare Carey and Brian Bonsall or professional athletes such as Lyle Alzado, Magic Johnson, Roddy Piper, Sgt. Slaughter, and even Ernie Hudson appeared as a Slimebuster, a parody of his Ghostbusters persona, using his own name rather than Winston Zeddemore.

Occasionally, Lou Albano and Danny Wells would be portray the guest stars themselves, forcing their regular characters to leave the scene when their other characters to show up. Lou Albano and Danny Wells also regularly played female versions of themselves, Marianne and Luigeena (the Mario Brothers' cousins), and also two hillbilly cousins, named Mario Joe and Luigi Bob.

Super Mario Bros. Cartoon
After a brief introduction of the sitcom segment of the show, a commercial would broadcast and a cartoon of about ten minutes would be broadcast next, featuring characters and situations based upon the NES games Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2, as well as several sound effects and musical ques from the two games. The characters featured therein would be Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool defending the Mushroom Kingdom from the reptilian villain King Koopa, often in a movie or pop-culture parody. Getting into the spirit of these parodies, Bowser Koopa often used alter egos fitting the current theme. Wart, the main antagonist of the second game, was never in any of the episodes, yet most of his minions appeared in the show.

The cartoon series occurs after the events and situations of the Super Mario Bros. game when Princess Toadstool was rescued, with borrowed elements, situations, concepts, and characters from Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2 video games. The theme song for the cartoon segments revealed that the Mario Brothers were accidentally warped into the Mushroom Kingdom while working on a bathtub drain in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA. After traveling via the warp drain, the Mario Brothers coincidentally defeated Bowser Koopa's Koopa Troopas, save Princess Toadstool and stopped Bowser Koopa's plan to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom. At the beginning of every cartoon segment Mario recites an entry into his "Plumber's Log," a parody of the Captain's Log from Star Trek.

The Legend of Zelda animated series
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! cartoon segment broadcast from Mondays through Thursdays, while The Legend of Zelda animated series would broadcast on Fridays as a instead. The series was based on The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link video games, in which the elf-like hero Link and Princess Zelda battled against the forces of the evil wizard Ganon. Scenes from each episode of the show were shown during the sitcom segments on the preceding Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episodes during the week, and then broadcast as sneak peeks. The Zelda cartoons were broadcast for thirteen episodes, which ended when the Super Mario Bros. Super Show! ended its initial broadcast run, though the characters of Link and Zelda, along with their respective voice actors (Jonathan Potts and Cynthia Preston), were later featured as crossovers within episodes of Captain N: The Game Master, another animated series based on NES video games, also produced by DiC Animation around the same period, airing on NBC as part of its Saturday morning cartoon schedule.

Club Mario
During the summer of 1990, Club Mario replaced the Mario Brothers' sitcom segments. This format featured "extreme" Mario-obsessed teenagers (Chris Coombs, Michael Rawlins, and Victoria Delany) goofing around, and in at least one episode, running around the DiC studios and harassing Andy Heyward. Mr. Coombs and Miss Delany played siblings Tommy and Tammy Treehugger, respectively. An additional added segment was a one-to-two-minute viewing of Space Scout Theater/Spaced Out Theater, hosted by Princess Centauri, a green alien woman, which was sourced and edited from the science fiction children television series, Photon.

 * Chris Coombs as Tommy Treehugger
 * Michael Anthony Rawlins as Co-MC
 * Michael Anthony Rawlins as Evil Eric
 * Kurt Weldon as Dr. Know-It-All
 * Victoria Delaney as Tammy Treehugger
 * Jeff Rose as The Big Kid
 * James Abbott as The Band
 * Shanti Kahn as Princess Centauri

Featured Songs
At some point in the cartoon segments, a song would be played to go along with the scene. These were usually notable singles from famous singers, songwriters, and musical artists of the era. When the program was either re-broadcast or re-released on a home medium such as videotape or DVD, the songs weren't usually included, without rare exceptions or mistakes of the version as it was authored from the source material.

This DVD features a bonus episode only viewable after correctly answering questions via interactive quiz. The episode, "The Adventures of Sherlock Mario", also features the final segment of the accompanying sitcom segment, "Plumbers of the Year", complete with a preview for the next episode of "The Legend of Zelda" and the ending credits.


 * When broadcast airings of reruns began on Internet television network Yahooligans!, Mario Mania! was released and featured the same episodes that aired within the first week, without Zelda previews.

Factory released two four-disc volumes of the show in 2006 which featured the episodes with the Zelda previews, sans the exception of King Mario of Cramalot, with and commercial indents reinstated, and the featured songs still replaced. For the second volume, four of the animated episodes are presented as "bonus episodes" without any of the sitcom segments. With the exception of the four "bonus" episodes, the other episodes were arranged in production, not broadcast, order.

Am I blocked?
I'm wondering if I'm blocked or something, as my user name is now coming up in a light shade of red or is pink. Coffee5binky (talk) 18:28, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Edit warring
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. MikeWazowski (talk) 02:32, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk page
I have fixed the Mario stuff. You can't have a non-free image anywhere on Wikipedia except for the article that it is supposed to be in. Nor should your talk page have the categories and other language Wikipedia links. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 03:40, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I see no vandalism from either of you but just another edit war. I also see that the page is now protected and can't be edited by anyone. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 03:51, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I wrote thanks on your page, and an apology for the tone, because what can be read and what can be spoken comes off different. Anyways, thanks. Coffee5binky (talk) 03:53, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


 * No problem. Right now nobody is being blocked and as long as it gets discussed and the edit war does not resume then no body will. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 03:59, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Gotcha, thanks. Coffee5binky (talk) 04:00, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
