Mario and Zelda Cartoons on DVD

Posted by Zonk on from the do-the-mario dept.

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."

  2. I hope it sells well. by hal2814 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    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.

  5. Magic Johnson by Schezar · · Score: 4, Interesting

    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 ;^)
