Hey guys, does anyone else remember those Mario cartoons from the 80's and the 90's? Or is it just me?
ayy I know about these because of memes but I also have some DVDs so
The original is
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show, which had some live action segments as well as the cartoon. Barely anyone remembers the live action because
a) the live action segments are short
and b) the cartoon was probably cooler to the kids watching the show
Either way the actors of both Mario and Luigi (rip) became somewhat iconic since they're basically the only live action Mario representation we got (we don't talk about the movie)
After this came
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3 cartoon, which is all animation. There's an episode of this one with a scene where Luigi eats a pancake and floats to the ceiling - this moment has become a bit of a meme. This short is rather forgotten about, probably since it was the "middle child" of the three series. This one DID have the Koopalings. However, this series was made before the Koopalings' official names were revealed, so the cartoon makers just made up names. Which are terrible names. For example, Larry is Cheatsy, Ludwig is Kooky, and Wendy is Kootie Pie, just to name a few.
Lastly is
Super Mario World, infamous for the episode Mama Luigi. This might be the worst of the cartoons because Yoshi's voice can be grating at times, and also Yoshi can be a bit of a jerk. There's an episode where he joins some dinosaur gang just because he's spiteful of Peach telling him to do things. And fun fact - Yoshi's VA is the VA for Diddy Kong in the Donkey Kong Country cartoon. And if you haven't heard of the DKC cartoon, it may be for the best...
Edit: Here's a pic of the Koopalings, as seen in TAoSMB3
as compared to the real Koopalings
