With professional wrestler Captain Lou Albano as Mario, Danny Wells as Luigi, plus a strong rock n rap score, the show attracted guest stars like pop sensation Cyndi Lauper, professional wrestler Sgt. Slaughter, Danica McKellar (The Wonder Years), NBA superstar Magic Johnson and Nicole Eggert (Baywatch).

Super Nostalgia Bros.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 15, 2009

Verified Purchase

First off, I think this show is great so my review is bias. To be fair there is quite a lot of material but its not really that great. I love the Super Mario Bros. but the animation is not good, ok for its time. It looks like SHOUT! just took taped episodes and put them on DVD. There are parts where it looks like tracking is readjusted and a most of the cartoons could use some editing. The live action segments are superb and the special effects are dated. Extremely. It looks as though the director yelled cut and then made a few changes and then yelled action and the edit isn't that smooth. The jokes are extremely corny and alot of the logic in the writing is poor and geared towards kids. I still laughed though, I laughed alot watching this DVD. The best audience I think is older viewers to relive nostalgia. Speaking of audience intended, this was a kids show when it came on TV. I can see that it's "Not rated" and for a good reason. Mario and Luigi will curse every once in awhile (usually not too bad) but in the very first episode in the first minute (not including the intro. song) Mario says to Luigi, (there are no subtitles but I checked over and over with various people who heard the same thing) "F*ck you Luigi" not to mention all the subtle risque behavior/undertones. So I'm not sure that I'd let my kids watch this on there own. All that aside its very enjoyable for the older fan reflective on shows of his or her past and the guest stars are pretty cool to see too with a very impressive array.

Shout! Factory Does It Again

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

Shout! Factory, in my opinion, rivals Disney when it comes to how they handle thier releases. No matter what the quality, or how easy it is to salvage, they always treat thier master tapes with care, and do everything to make it look as best as they can. This release is no exception. This 3-Disc set contains every episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show (discounting the Zelda episodes, though that's mostly because they've stated one of master tapes wasn't given to them when the show's distribution rights changed hands). Unlike previous "Super Show" releases, this set actually includes the live action segments, which beforehand were actually hard to come by. And yes, this also include those nostalgic bumpers, and the promos for the Zelda cartoon (from what I assume are from the episodes' initial airings). The only gripe I have with this release is that the DVD menus only list episode titles by thier cartoon segments, and don't include the names of the live action segments. A minor inconvenience, but nothing too major. All in all, whether you a genuine fan of the show, or you just need the clips for your YTPs, Shout! Factory once again has you covered.

Missing songs have me yearning for more

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 26, 2011

Verified Purchase

OK, so they got the live segments, the bumpers, and the Zelda promos...but the cartoons are incomplete. In another instance of lawyers and copyright greed ruining everything, the original songs accompanying the climactic action sequences in the cartoons are replaced with bland and usually inappropriate instrumental substitutes. They didn't get the "rights." I now regret getting rid of my original VHS releases which retained the songs. For example:

"Pirates of the Koopa" originally had the song "Limbo Rock" by Chubby Checker. On this DVD release it's some completely scene-inappropriate instrumental music. And in "Too Hot to Handle" I believe the original song was "Hot Hot Hot" by Buster Poindexter. More like gone gone gone. These are just two examples but every episode is missing its song.

The problem with this is the songs added to the overall quality of the show. As a kid, I knew that when the song kicked in, it was the climax of the show, and then the denouement followed. With these substitutions, the intensity of the plot arcs is less an arc and more of a flat line. The action sequences are arguably sequenced around different parts of the song. With a substitution, that subtle context is lost. The songs were fun! The limbo rock sequence is one of the most remembered parts of the show for me and now it's butchered.

If you have ever seen the film masterpiece "Amadeus"...these omissions remind me of the ballet scene, when the emperor's decrees ban the music but not the dancing, so there are all these ballet dancers on stage with no musical accompaniment. It's awkward and strange. That's exactly what's happening here and on DVD releases of other old shows like Married with Children (iconic theme substitution). Copyright is ruining past shows and making them look worse than they were. Here we are paying for something instead of pirating it, and we're getting shorted! Puh-lease.

I aboslutely LOVE this show.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

Few things in life can so easily put a smile on my face the way this show does. The animation isn't fantastic, but the style itself is great, and suits the show well. And it's really the atmosphere that knocks this show out of the park for me --- it's campy, silly fun. Capt. Lou Albano and Danny Wells will always be the greatest voices for the Mario Bros, and they go the distance in making the live-action segments just as fun as the cartoon (which I'm glad are included in these sets, unlike the ones put out by NCircle Entertainment). It's a wonderful show for the young, and the young at heart. Watch it on a Friday afternoon with some takeout pizza, and make some memories. Don't miss it!

Used copy, not NEW

DVD’s seems to be in ok shape with a couple scratches, but the box and artwork is destroyed. When purchased, it was supposed to be new, as per the advertisement. Received a used copy that I’m not happy with. Will be filing a complaint and sending back item.

Cheesy, stupid, and fantastic to watch with friends.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 19, 2017

You probably know exactly what this show is, if not. Its a part animated, part live-action series based on the Super Mario video game, younger kids will like it, along with the adults who remember it from times of old.
This version includes the live-action segments, as well as animated, although i believe some songs have been omited for copyright reasons.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 7, 2004

Hmm. I ordered this with a sense of nostalgia really. After randomly searching "Mario" in the engine, this came up and I
remembered watching it as a child. I thought it was worth a look - but fourteen years wiser and I can now appreciate how dodgy this show really is.
First of all, being shot in the 1980s and therefore pre-Charles Martinet (who does Mario's voice on the games now), all the characters have gruff Brooklyn accents. That includes Toad. The sound effects are kinda strange too, mixing sounds and themes from the actual games, and songs from the (then) charts.
Secondly, before and after each cartoon we are treated to "hilarious" live action skits starring the Mario and Luigi voice actors. It's basicly a little story set in their Brooklyn apartment that starts before the cartoon itself and concludes afterwards. They usually have a guest star with them - vague 80s stars that nobody can really remember. Now, I can't recall these truly awful live action parts from watching them as a kid (aside from the "do the Mario" dance over the credits, which is pretty funny) - maybe they were cut from the episodes I saw then.
Each of the six episodes all follow pretty much the same storyline - Princess Toadstool (or Peach as we know her today) is captured by King Koopa (now re-named Bowser) and Mario and Luigi have to save her. Sometimes slightly amusing, these episodes are well presented enough (although now I would have thought they'd be anime - Mario originating from Japan and all), and they do display a certain charm, but Luigi is really quite useless. He's perceived as cowardly and never really gets the limelight - for instance it's always Mario who gets the power-up or Fire Flower first - even though it's named the "Super Mario BROS Super Show". Also, being made in the 1980s means that it's pre-Yoshi too, so he never appears on any of the episodes on this DVD.
Anyway, if you're buying this for nostalgia, I guess the price is right, so go ahead (but maybe get Volume 2 instead - it's cheaper). If you're buying this for a younger relative, then the rest of what I said is pretty much redundant - kids'll love it.
Perfect for anyone under the age of 7 (but watch out - if they watch this without previously owning any Mario games, DON'T let them get wind of the games - you'll have to fork out for them too!). Anyone else - only if you love Mario and/or have never seen any of these old cartoons.
