LatestWhen Ganon's evil creatures suffer yet another humiliating defeat at the hands of Link, they decide that Ganon's stupid plans are to blame.
In 1989 the two most famous plumbers from Brooklyn burst out of the Nintendo game world and onto television screens across America. The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! aired weekday afternoons and brought Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and King Koopa more thrilling adventures as cartoon characters. And if that weren't enough, each episode also contained live-action segments featuring Mario and Luigi running their Brooklyn plumbing shop - all before they were flushed down a drainpipe into the Mushroom World.
Acting
Lou Albano's Mario is unhinged theater kid energy in a fat suit.
Production
Live-action segments shot in one afternoon, possibly while hungover.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This show invented the video game adaptation as we know it: chaotic, barely coherent, and weirdly beloved. Every Illumination Mario movie owes it an apology.
Lou Albano was a famous WWF wrestler who kept his rubber bands in his beard for the role. The man committed to the bit.
