Nintendo's flagship franchise, Super Mario Bros. has had multiple Animated Adaptations in the West. Preceded by Mario and Donkey Kong's animated debut in Saturday Supercade segments, the first to focus on both brothers and their new life in the Mushroom Kingdom were the three cartoons by DiC Entertainment. The first was The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, a 1989 animated/live action production featuring the adventures of those plucky plumbers from Brooklyn. The show ran four days a week in syndication, with Fridays reserved for a cartoon based on The Legend of Zelda.Saturday morning cartoons titled The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World were later made (without live-action segments) and would air alongside Captain N: The Game Master on NBC. All three shows are now available on DVD.For tropes unique to one of the three shows, see their respective articles. | |

Villain: Exit, Stage Left | |
| Super Mario Bros. (DiC) / int_105f4bd9 | comment |
Villain: Exit, Stage Left: King Koopa frequently pulls this off in the Super Show, usually by way of a warp-generating potion (based on the doors to Sub-Con in the American Super Mario Bros. 2), and a few times on the later two as well. | |

The Artifact | |
| Super Mario Bros. (DiC) / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: In the first show, Koopa is made to be a composite of Bowser and Wart, hence his green skin and prominent crown. The next two cartoons would ditch references to the older games in favour of what was new. To keep continuity, Koopa still uses his Wart-like appearance that stands out from his kids (who are much closer to their game counterpart colors). | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Super Mario Bros. (DiC) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: The Super Show constantly reminds us that the Mario Brothers are from Brooklyn, with the live action segments representing their past lives there and the Expository Theme Tune to each episode documenting how they were sucked through a pipe into the Mushroom Kingdom. Many episodes, such as "Brooklyn Bound" and "Flatbush Koopa", focus on or mention their attempt to return home. By the time The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 rolls around, Refugee from TV Land is a common plot device, with the Mario Bros. themselves traveling to "The Real World" in many episodes, but they don't seem particularly interested in staying there anymore. According to the Writer's Bible for Mario Bros. 3, prior to the start of that show, the brothers chased Koopa into a "banishment zone" and sealed the entrance with 10,000 bricks. They then returned home to Brooklyn, but after Koopa escaped and threatened the Mushroom Kingdom again, the brothers returned, choosing to stay and defend the kingdom. | |

Italian-American Caricature | |
| Super Mario Bros. (DiC) / int_3c8b4f42 | comment |
Italian-American Caricature: Exaggerated. Mario and Luigi are Italian-American New Yorkers described as Pizza-tarians, and while Mario's Trademark Favorite Food is pasta, he has also been known to enjoy pepperoni cheesecake and mozzarella milkshakes. It helps that both of them were voiced by people with Italian heritage at one pointnote Captain Lou Albano for Mario in the Super Show and Tony Rosato as Luigi in the latter two cartoons, with Luigi's retaining a slight accent. | |

| Super Mario Bros. (DiC) / int_5fc3ab7f | comment |
Implied Love Interest: Averted. Unlike the games, where Mario and Peach are both young adults in their twenties, Mario is a middle-aged man, and Toadstool, at seventeen, is young enough to be his daughter, so them being the Official Couple wouldn't work. In fact, there was never an attempt to give Toadstool a love interest, or really much attempt in these cartoons to have romance at all. | |

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 borrows a few (considerably less wacky) lands from the game's Single-Biome Country environments, like Desert Land and Ice Land. | |

Refugee from TV Land: A common gimmick in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 has the Koopas traveling to "The Real World" to cause havoc, and the Marios following to fix it. Although it doesn't really show up in the other shows, though Koopa flashes back to his time spent in the Real World at the beginning of the Super Mario World episode "Rock TV." | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Super Mario Bros. (DiC) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Uncommon, but it happens, even between series: Salvador Drainado from "Brooklyn Bound" - the greatest plumber to ever live - reappears as a statue (quite appropriately) at the titular academy in "Plummers Academy". The cab driver from "Flatbush Koopa" (Super Show) makes a cameo in "Recycled Koopa" (The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3). Possibly a case of reusing character designs, as he was never more than incidental character. "Fire Sale", the first episode of Super Mario World, takes place almost entirely in Ice Land, a location from Super Mario Bros. 3.note In terms of the shows' game counterparts, fire-spitting Piranha Plants (with stems) exist only Super Mario Bros. 3 and not Super Mario World as well, suggesting that this episode may be a Recycled Script from the previous show. "Rock TV" (Super Mario World) opens with King Koopa reminiscing on what he learned "while [he] was in the Real World." Presumably, he's talking about his experiences in many episodes of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. | |

Expository Theme Tune: The Super Mario Bros. Super Show has one in full 1980s cartoon show glory, explaining the Mario Bros' backstory and the premise of the show in the form of a rap. The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 drops it for an expository narration, and Super Mario World for a catchy song that consists mostly of the show's title being repeated over and over. | |

Ret-Canon | |
| Super Mario Bros. (DiC) / int_c6898a73 | comment |
Ret-Canon: Luigi's status as a Cowardly Sidekick debuted here, though it's played slightly differently here, as this Luigi isn't very timid. Toad's oddly screechy voice is eerily similar to Toad's modern voice. The games version of Bowser shares several traits of King Koopa from game to game (eg. Deadpan Snarker moments, a loyally Card-Carrying Villain, genuinely love for his offspring). | |

Shout-Out | |
| Super Mario Bros. (DiC) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Documenting all the Shout Outs in the Super Show would be a task daedalian in scope. Nearly every episode is a reference (either a full-blown Whole-Plot Reference, or an In Name Only reference in the form of a Punny Name title) to a film (such as "The Mark of Zero" for Zorro, "Toad Warrior" for Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, or "Crocodile Mario" for "Crocodile" Dundee), and the ones that aren't are usually a reference to folklore, literature, celebrities or something else. | |

Adaptational Wimp | |
| Super Mario Bros. (DiC) / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp: Downplayed with King Koopa, as he never breathes fire nor is there any hint of him having this ability. That said, his army and evil plans still more than make up for this. | |

You Can't Go Home Again | |
| Super Mario Bros. (DiC) / int_da12bcfb | comment |
You Can't Go Home Again: Mario and Luigi in the Super Show. Even in the episode "Brooklyn Bound", where it looks like they'll finally be able to return to Brooklyn again, they miss their chance when Koopa swoops in at the last minute to threaten the Princess. Subverted in the sequel series, where they can go back to the real world any time they want, but have lost interest in doing so. | |

Dub Name Change | |
| Super Mario Bros. (DiC) / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: Zigzagged for Bowser, who is referred to by his Japanese moniker King Koopa (though a Full-Name Ultimatum is used a handful of times). The writers made up their own names for the Koopalings, called the Koopa Kids in the actual show, before the English version of The Manual was final. | |

Composite Character: King Koopa, the cartoons' version of Bowser, appears to be a mix of both Bowser and Wart (especially in the Super Show). Specifically, King Koopa has Wart's crown, green skin and Mooks. | |

Flanderization | |
| Super Mario Bros. (DiC) / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: Big Mouth seemed to originally earn his moniker from being a loudmouthed snarker (a role that was admittedly sorta redundant between him and the other mouthy Koopa Kids). By SMW he is a Large Ham Motor Mouth who drives his siblings crazy by never shutting up. | |

| Super Mario Bros. (DiC) / int_f05444a4 | comment |
Once per Episode: In each series, the Mario Bros. and Koopa (with the Koopa Kids in the latter two) fight to the beat of a musical montage. Each episode of Super Show, along with a few SMB3 episodes, has a pop music song covered by the cast. The rest of the SMB3 episodes and the entire SMW series have songs specifically written for the shows. | |

Recycled Script | |
| Super Mario Bros. (DiC) / int_f4231181 | comment |
"Fire Sale", the first episode of Super Mario World, takes place almost entirely in Ice Land, a location from Super Mario Bros. 3.note In terms of the shows' game counterparts, fire-spitting Piranha Plants (with stems) exist only Super Mario Bros. 3 and not Super Mario World as well, suggesting that this episode may be a Recycled Script from the previous show. | |

Bastard Understudy | |
| Super Mario Bros. (DiC) / int_f74f567f | comment |
Bastard Understudy: It seems at times, Koopa did a bit too good a job raising his kids to be underhanded villains. Cheatsy is the most recurring case, though all of the kids have at least one moment they stab their Pops in the back. | |

Brick Joke: An odd one extending across two shows: Near the beginning of "The Super Mario Bros Super Show", in the episode King Mario of Cramalot Luigi tries to get out of an unpleasant task by saying he's going to have a baby. The final episode of the Super Mario World cartoon features him adopting a baby Yoshi and embracing his status as his "mama". | |

Pet the Dog: King Koopa thrives on being as underhanded and nasty a villain as possible. In the later two shows however, it's clear he genuinely cares for his kids, particularly Kootie Pie who he spoils rotten. | |
