As Aventuras do Super Mario Bros. 3

This was one of my favorite cartoons when I was younger. The story was great and the characters were straight from Nintendo, except for Captain N. I wish it would come back on some channel. The Super Mario Bros. part was a great thing also. I loved watching the adventures of Mario and Luigi.

I remember watching the Mario cartoons in the early 90s. They're not bad, but they haven't aged well. The animation is dodgy and plagued by continuity errors. The sound mixing is poor on some episodes, not all of them, mind you. The music is so loud, that you can't hear the dialogue. And the songs. Dear God, the songs are HORRIBLE! They're sung with really screechy cartoony voices that makes it seen like a bad X Factor audition. However, the stories aren't too bad, it is true to the games, and it's nice to hear Mario speak in his Brooklyn accent, instead of his stereotypical Italian one. Overall, not bad, but not that great.

I guess I must be pretty spoiled from frequently watching Looney Tunes from animation's "golden years" (1940s-1950s) - 'Cause I found that seeing something like "Super Mario" (from 1990) left me with the feeling of being thoroughly cheated by this show's totally inferior animation and dissatisfying entertainment-value.

It sure seemed to me that the irksome eccentricity of the characters in this particular animated series all came across as being completely annoying and absolutely forgettable.

While - On the other hand - I have found that the whole "Looney Tunes" cast (even 60 year later) still endure and remain amusing and memorable (except, of course, for the Roadrunner).

All-in-all - I strongly wish that Super Mario (and all the rest of the dimwit gang) had just been left as video game characters.

I played Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES. I'm glad that this cartoon had the 7 Koopa Kids. They took so many inspirations from the game and put them in the show. I love that Mario and the gang going into King Koopa's castle for most of the time. I did found out that Tara Strong played the voices of Hip and Hop (a.k.a Lemmy and Iggy Koopa). I liked the fire flower, super leaf and frog suit in the game and in the cartoon. An entertaining show for kids and Nintendo fans to watch.

You will never see another good cartoon show based on a video game. Why? It's because these 3D video games suck and cartoons are non-existent because they are SADLY being replaced by ANIME! YUCK!

I only watched the Super Mario 3 parts. I actually have a ton of episodes on tape! I have an episode where Princess gathers the gang to go to the real world and attend a Milli Vanilli concert. It was a fun episode right at the height of the Milli Vanilli career.

Oh how I miss shows like this. WHY WHY WHY won't NBC bring back Saturday morning cartoons? They used to have the best ones and now they think they're too good for it.
