General Info.: "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!" was the first Super Mario Bros. show on NBC (or various syndicated channels such as FOX or UPN.) It was the longest-running Mario show. It introduced Luigi, King Koopa, Princess Toadstool, Toad, and numerous Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Bros. enemies to the cartoon universe. There were two super powers, the starman and the fire flower, both which made the Marios "super". It also featured the unforgettable dance "Do the Mario."
The show took place in different made-up lands like Pasta Land and Rap Land. The lands the Super Mario Bros. were in usually affected the plot of the current show. The first and last five minutes of the show was live-action, showing the Mario Bros. in their plumbing shop, getting visitors and being called in for service and doing very crazy things. Some episode titles include "Koopa Klaus", "Mario Meets Koop-Zilla", and "Hooded Robin and His Mario Men". They all were just like their titles sounded.
