Super Mario World

I don't remember this show very much, but I remember it a little bit. I remember thinking that Yoshi was cool. In fact, I still think that.

There's one episode in particular in which we learn that Yoshi is afraid of water (in the video game, however, Yoshi has no problem with water. Also, all of Koopa's kids have completely different names than they do in the video game. Why?). But, he overcomes his fears to save a pirhana plant trapped in a melting ice cave. Isn't that cool.

I think there was an episode where Yoshi and Mario played football against Koopa's kids. That was cool too.

From what I remember, this show was good. Some episodes are available on DVD, along with a couple Legend of Zelda bonus cartoons. Mind you, those bonus Zelda cartoons are pre-Link to the Past, and for some reason Link is portrayed as a wisecracking jerk, trying to woo the princess. I prefer the quiet guy who just went out to save his country from evil. I even prefer the big-headed, cel-shaded Link.

Not as good as the first and second show. I feels off for some reason. Like as if the story is stale.

Super Mario World is a cartoon based on the video game of the same name. Unlike the other Mario cartoons, which have been great, Super Mario World is purely mediocre. Toad is replaced with Yoshi, a highly annoying baby character. King Koopa is now rather stupid. On the good side, the show is rather funny and is more amusing than Mario 3.

With this show it's a mix. It's good, yet it's bad. To start with the bad stuff, animation was really down here. Super Mario World fared okay, but Captain N was really bad when it came to animation. I can't recall the Captain N segments as well, but with Super Mario World, I remember there always being an annoying song that slowed down the show. Stories for both were okay, some lacking, but overall okay. It's good and bad.

With goofy and corny dialogue, Likable characters, Tons of unintentionally hilarious moments, and MAMA LUIGI, Super Mario World is definitely nostalgic.
