Mario and Zelda Cartoons on DVD
Captain Lou Albano's wild and staring eyes can once again grace your television set, with the upcoming release of the Super Mario Brothers Super Show, Mario cartoons, and Zelda cartoons. Press the Buttons has the details. From the article: "...the complete series of the 1989-90 cartoon/live action programs The Super Mario Bros. Super Show and Friday special The Legend of Zelda are headed to DVD this coming October in 4-volume and 3-volume sets respectively. A "best of" Super Mario DVD has been available for some time, but die-hard fans out there can now finish off their collections."
Super mario bros super show on Dvd....best day ever.
My life is now complete. :D
Well, excuuuuse me, Princess
I'm hoping that the sales of the Mario Show DVD are high enough to encourage some other video game based cartoons like the Starcade shorts (Donkey Kong, Q-Bert, Frogger, etc.), Pac-Man, and Captain N to get released.
Never expected to see Ron Jeremy on the page! here!
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.

Do the Mario!
Swing your arms from side to side,
Come on, it's time to go, do the Mario!
Take one step, and then again,
Let's do the Mario, all together now! Come on now, just like that!

I had no idea these even exsisted!
Back in 1989-90 I was 8 and 9, and lived in a very rural area. No cable, so we didn't watch much TV.
I LOVE TEH INTARWEEB!!!!!!
Pretty Pictures!
Oh wow. I remeber when I was 6 or 7 living in rural Georgia ordering these on VHS tape in the scholastic magazines we got at school. I still have about 6 or 7 of those tapes.
;)
Too bad now when I watch them it is painful animation, dialog, and situation comedy
There is nothing wrong with being gay. It's getting caught where the trouble lies.
Never been released on DVD? That, my friend, is where you are wrong!
Goo goo g'joob.
So a while ago, Magic Johnson came to give a talk at the Rochester Institute of Technology, my alma mater. He spoke about AIDS and life and generally interesting things.
;^)
Now, most of you probably remember that he appeared in an episode of the Super Mario Brothers Super Show. (He was living in their medicine cabinet IIRC).
Magic opened the floor up to questions, and I happened to get the first one. It went something like this:
Schezar: Magic, how did it feel to make an appearance on the Super Mario Brothers Super Show?
Magic: What? Oh my god... I forgot what kind of school this was...
Schezar: I have this picture of you standing in their medicine cabinet...
Magic: Come up here! I'm going to sign that for you.
So now I have this picture, signed by Magic himself, on my wall. Just gotta get the captain to sign it and I'll have quite an artifact of power

Noooooooooooooooooo!
Seriously, that cartoon was awful. Abysmal. Abhorrent. Actively painful to watch. And that's just the As. We're not talking normally bad, here. It's not even Eye of Argon bad. Oh, no, this is Star Wars Christmas Special bad: if you watch them, you will regret it.
I found a collection of episodes on the 'net, and as a die-hard Zelda fan, downloaded them. I want that segment of my life back. The only thing I got out of the experience was a migraine.
Learn from my mistake. Do not watch those cartoons. Go and buy a copy of Ulysses 31 instead. Trust me.
It was the last day of school for the summer, that warm day in 1993. My friends and I were excited--our parents were carting us off to the mall. We had to make a choice... Jurassic Park... or... Super Mario Bros.. We choose Mario Brothers. I'll never forget it, because afterwards all but two of my friends killed themselves over the decision (OK not really, but we ALL wanted to). I still have nightmares about it.
...does that mean the DVD is blank?
As punishment, I have ordered drunken dash a copy.
