One of the best bike races I've ever seen!

9.9

By sfan64, Apr 12, 2007

Here is my review for one of the best episodes of "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!". I've seen this episode so many times that I know just about every line said in it. It is also the only episode I've have on video (before I got it again on DVD). Anyway, in the live-action segment ("Mama Mia Mario"), Mario and Luigi's mother comes over for a visit and forces them to clean up their place until she leaves. In the cartoon ("The Great BMX Race"), Mario and Luigi compete in a BMX race against Mouser, Triclyde, and Troopa Leader (That's what I like to call him because there's more than one Troopa seen in this episode and he's obviously the smartest one) in an attempt to earn coins so they can save Toad from being scorched by Fry Guy. This was probably the only episode that had no special guests appearing at all (Mario and Luigi's mother and aunt were played by the same actors who play the Mario Bros.). This was also the first episode where Mario and/or Luigi do not wear their trademark hats at all in the show. I recommend this episode to people who have never seen the show before. A true classic.moreless

TRIVIA (3)
ADD TRIVIA
- When Luigi said "Those guys scared me off," they drew him with a humongous rump like Mario.
  EDIT SHARE
- After Mouser says "It's turbo time!", he, Triclyde and the Troopa drive down from the cliff, and we see a brief shot of Koopa and another Troopa watching them. Nothing wrong with that. Howevever, the footage of Koopa and the second Troopa watching them is reused after Princess escapes from the Cobrat, and it makes no sense, since Mouser and the others are already gone!
  EDIT SHARE
- How did the Troopa somehow load that giant rock onto his bike, and how did it shatter like glass?
