5 out of 5 stars Yes they're back!.......2006-03-07

Mario, Luigi, Princess toadstool, and Toad! They are all back in this action packed DVD. Oh. Lets not forget the evil King Koopa is also back to try to capture the princess. In each episode, it is up to Mario, Luigi, and Toad to save the princess and keep the Mushroom kingdom from falling into the evil hands of King Koopa. The voices behind Mario, and Luigi are Captain lu Albanno, and Danny Wells. I like the q&a sessions on the dvd but, Andy gets a few things wrong. One of the things he doesn't mention is that Nintendo's Mr. Meomotto created the Super Mario brothers. Now how can you forget that? All in all, great dvd if you want to bring your child hood back.

4 out of 5 stars 90's and cheesy but my son loves it!.......2005-10-25

My son recently became obsessed with super mario 3 for gameboy advance. OB-SESSED. So he got a GC to amazon for his birthday and this is what he chose to get. (Much to my chagrin!) Even though the "skits" in between the cartoon segments are ridiculously cheesy and absurd, my son LOVES the cartoon portion. A MUST for any true Mario lover!

3 out of 5 stars Good idea, but beware of edits!!.......2004-08-07

Well, it's nice to see that DiC is releasing the Mario cartoons in their original order, but if I wasn't such a Mario fanatic, and didn't already have four-fifths of the episodes on this DVD (I've been missing the first episode), I would've skipped this disc. Why? Well, for one thing, in the "interview", Andy Heyward fails to give correct credit to Shigeru Miyamoto for creating Mario. But what really cheeses me off is people thinking that these are the uncut versions of the episodes. For one thing, the live-action segments are missing the "Legend of Zelda" previews that played right after Mario's cartoon face popped up during the sketch. But even worse is that these are the edited versions of the cartoons that edit out the song remakes and replace them with instrumentals to songs from season 2 FOR NO GOOD REASON!!!! I don't know why they edited those songs out, considering they never did the same to seasons 2 or 3! If you taped all the shows during their original run in 1989, consider this a waste of money and don't buy this DVD. Otherwise, you can add four Mario adventures and a Zelda to your collection.
As for the episodes themselves:

"The Bird! The Bird!": Very good introduction.
"King Mario of Cramalot": First parody on the show; badly-done, but I like some of Bowser's dialogue.
"Butch Mario and the Luigi Kid": Better parody, and the first appearance of Mouser. I like the usage of SMB2 elements.
"Mario's Magic Carpet": Very poor. Full of plot holes and mistakes.
"The Ringer": Worth it to see Ganon phantom-punching.

There you have it. But don't listen to the reviewers who think these episodes are unedited - if you taped the shows back in 1989, or collected all the Kid Klassics VHSs, and you have a DVD recorder, do not buy this DVD!

5 out of 5 stars Ah, Mario Memories.......2004-08-05

Remember about ten or tweleve years ago, there was the Mario Brothers trying to rescue Princess Toadstool from the evil King Koopa? Well, now we can relive those Mario memories in the first five episodes of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! As most of us may know, this collection contains the live-action sequences starring Captain Lou Albano, as Mario, and Danny Wells as Luigi. I have always been a big fan of the Mario Bros. and will continue to be one for as long as the franchise will go on. They're funny, charming, and just plain fun. If you wanna relive your Mario memories, then I say get this DVD set of the first five advenuters of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! (Well, OK the first four adventure, the last episode contains The Legend of Zelda.) Which of course, was apart of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show back in the day. This collection also contains an interview with Andy Heywood (creator Inspector Gadget) and gives some information about the Mario Bros. cartoon. If only there could be more Mario Bros. cartoons. Maybe in the future we could only pray they would come out with new adventures. They did it with Sonic and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Why not Super Mario?
