![]() ![]() 2 (one of a select few Mario games not to feature Koopa/Bowser), Wart makes ZERO appearances, and King Koopa is the main villain in every episode, usually joined by Mouser as his next-in-command of the Koopa Troopa (yes, they're heavily featured despite being absent from Mario Bros. When it came down to things, it was always "Mario, Luigi, Toad and the Princess are lured into a trap by King Koopa (Bowser), and end up saving the day, only for Koopa to get away. More often than not, the cartoon portion would be a parody of a famous movie or fictional character and open with Mario doing a spoof of Captain Kirk's opening naration (instead of Captain's Log, it was Plumber's Log. ![]() cartoon would be featured four days of the week, but never once did an episode follow the contanuity of a previous episode. There's my Mini-Zelda review, now back to the regular program. Just inexcusable garbage for characters that are more than comedy relief. Seriously, Ganon is that much of a wuss, too. It would be like taking Darth Vader in Empire Strikes Back, having Luke get away, and then throw a hissy fit where he kicks dirt. If this version of Link is their idea of great protection, then they deserve to be butt-fucked by Ganon's minions for constantly putting their well being into his hands. He almost always needs to be saved by Zelda, despite being hired to protect her and the Triforce of Wisdom (pfft.). Seriously, what were the producers of this series thinking? How could they make a character that is meant to be a fearless hero into a bumbling fucking idiot?! I couldn't stomach to watch all 13 episodes of the Zelda cartoons, but in the one's I could get through, there's never more than 30-seconds of consecutive animation where he comes across as a competant being. Link is not a whining little pussy who can't walk two feet without tripping, who's obsessed with banging Zelda, and doesn't have the world's worst catchphrase ("Excuuuuuuuse me, Princess).

A typical show would feature them messing things up or having to deal with an unwanted/unannounced guest, throw it to a 15-minute cartoon, and then back to live action to conclude their sub-plot of the episode. The live action would take place in the Mario Brothers plumbing business offices (or house, or both, who cares, it's a show meant for 5 year olds), starring former professional wrestler and manager Captain Lou Albano (minus his signature beard) cast as the role of Mario, along with lesser known character actor Danny Wells as his "brother", Luigi. The original Mario Show used a combination of live action and animated segments. Originally produced for the Fall 1989 television season, the Super Mario Super Show was featured in syndication on the FOX Network, typically in the early afternoon, immediately after school to attract the young viewers it was targeted for. The most memorable of all the Nintendo branded products released to the public? The Super Mario Bros. On top of producing and releasing their own games, and giving permission to countless third party companies to do the same, Nintendo was puting their brand on everything, from toys to candy to BREAKFAST CEREAL. Originally issuing the Nintendo Entertainment System in the Fall of 1985, by the close of the decade, Nintendo was everywhere.
