Show Summary

  • Ended
Super Mario World was based off the popular video game of the same name and continued the Super Mario cartoon series. With Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool on Dinosaur Island and Yoshi replacing Toad and with them foiling the plans of King Koopa and his Koopa kids. This cartoon aired side-by-side with Season 3 of Captain N: The Game Master. See that guide for the shared Captain N cast list and episodes. Super Mario World was produced by DIC. At first the Koopalings did not have real names because at the the time when the company was making the cartoon they did not know what their names would be, so they made up names for each of the Koopa kids. So the Koopa kids not having their real names in this cartoon is not a mistake or goof. Here are their real and cartoon names: Wendy = Kootie Pie Larry = Cheatsy Ludwig = Kooky Morton = Big Mouth Roy = Bully Lemmy = Hip Iggy = Hop Also King Koopa (Bowser) not looking the way he does in the games is not a goof either.moreless

  • Super Show was better than average, Mario 3 was very good, Mario World was down-right annoying.

    "Super Mario World" was the third, and so far final cartoon based on Nintendo's amazing video game series "Mario". This one premiered on NBC in 1991, and like it's predessecor it aired along-side "Captain N: The Game Master" as an hour-long block titled "Captain N and the New Super Mario World". Even though none of the Mario cartoons were exactly masterpieces,this one has got to be the weakest by far. At least the first two were entertaining, this one has even worse animation, horribly irritating new characters (Yoshi, and Oogtar), and it was chock-full of canonical errors from the games. Those errors include:

    -Dinosaur Land being called Dinosaur World,

    -In the SNES game "Super Mario World" Dinosaur Land was inhabited by dinosaurs. For some reason DiC thought cavemen were there too, and for some reason added them.

    -Almost every enemy name is wrong: Magikoopas are called Koopa Wizards, Banzai Bills are now Magnum Bills, Sumo Bros are now Fire Sumos, Chargin' Chucks are called Koopa Football Players, Wigglers are called Caterpillars, and Monty Moles are simply called gophers. GOPHERS!?!? They're not even supposed to be gophers, they're moles!!!! MOLES!!! Not gophers!

    -Like SMB3 the Koopaling names are still wrong.

    Among many, many others. And I'm not usually one to complain about straying a little from the source material, but this strays too much, and is just unacceptable. However, I did enjoy the episodes "Mama Luigi", "Ghosts R Us", and "The Night Before Cave Christmas", but even those weren't all that great.

    Overall this is a very cheesy, annoying, and boring cartoon show based on a very fun, video game with great music, good controls, and well-designed levels. The animated TV show "Super Mario World" and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game "Super Mario World" are completely the opposite. The game is amazing, the show is annoying. What especially makes me mad is: I love Yoshi in the games. He's my favorite character, but they made him so annoying, and weird looking in this ahow.

    This is one of my favorite shows of all time. I really like the other mario series but, Yoshi is probably my favorite character out of all of the Mario series. Yoshi just brings the spotlight to this show. In the other 2 Mario shows Toad makes the spotlight, but since Toad isn't in this show, Yoshi is my favorite. Why are Mario and Luigi suddenly plumbers from Brooklyn, New York? They live in the mushroom kingdom in all of the games like Super Mario Galaxy. It's kind of a little creepy that they're suddenly plumbers but, okay. I can live with it.moreless

  • I like Super Mario World better.

    Lemme say about Super Mario World. Well... kinda think of it...

    Luigi: That's Mama Luigi to you Mario.
    Mario: It's a Stone Luigi.
    Luigi as Retarded (Retarded Luigi): Catch the ball?
    Mario (CDi Version): Gay Luigi?
    Wizardhimer to Luigi (Egg Luigi): Egghead.
    Luigi: *Crying as Emo Luigi*
    3-Eye Blue Luigi: *Being blue-eyed*
    Luigi (SMB3 as Debrotherized Luigi): Farewell, Ex-brother.
    Luigi: YAAH! I AM GOD LUIGI!

    Well, that's thaat. It was greatness. I like Gopher Bash, A Little Learning, The Yoshi Shuffle & Mama Luigi.

    It's a pretty cool show. But, with Captain N, it would fit easily like a bucket of Mama Luigi's in it.

    So, I wonder what's for dinner?

    MAMA LUIGI! To you, Mario.moreless

  • This will be a Super Mario World Review only. Well, what can I say? This show just flat out stunk! Why? Because instead of sticking to the roots of classic Mario action, they turned it into a educational joke!moreless

    Ok, let's be honest here. When you watch Mario, do you really want to have episodes where they teach the brainless cavepeople on how to do thing?

    NO!

    While not every episode had that, just about the majority did. Seriously, I couldn't care less about Mario and Luigi teaching the cavepeople on how to drive a car, use a telephone, learn how to plant crops, or work together as a team. News Flash, DIC, Nobody cares about that!

    But just when I thought the show couldn't get any worse with its lame plots, they have to introduce an ear splitting song in every stinking episode!

    Why DIC, Why? Why did you have to torture us with songs that nobody wants to hear? Its no wonder this series only got 13 episodes. It was a complete waste. However, I will say I did enjoy the episode where Mario battles Bowser when the cavepeople go to the circus. The only thing I didn't like it was the fact the fight was too short. But, a good episode nonetheless.

    And yes, I also liked Yoshi Shuffle and Mama Luigi. Despite the fact Yoshi Shuffle had a lame plot about teaching teamwork, I'm a big football fan, so it was nice to Mario and the Koopalings battle on the grid iron, even though it was way too short again.

    Mama Luigi was decent since it was like an episode that was based off the Super Mario World SNES game. Yes, it was very corny at times, but not bad.

    Anyway, to wrap this up, Super Mario World was definitely a huge bomb. Why DIC chose to taint the Mario Franchise with their nonsense, I'll never know. But, what's done is done.moreless

  • I don't know why the increible world of dic made a Mario cartoon.(Not Reviewing Captain N).
