I guess this is just one of those things where you have to be born at the right time to fully appreciate. Looking at both Mario and Zelda now (the shows) I can't really see the appeal. Seeing as how I was born in 91, not only is the nostalgia factor lost on me, but I'd probably be constantly thinking of how much more I'd rather watch shows from the 90's (my childhood was filled with watching Batman: The Animated series, the 90's Spiderman cartoon, ReBoot, Beast Wars, Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, and Gargoyles)

I wonder if the other Mario cartoon Bob is referring to is Saturday Supercade, which featured cartoon versions of Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Frogger, Q*bert, Pitfall!, Space Ace, and Kangaroo.

Man, do kids these days even recognize some of those as video game titles?

Oh come now Bob, NO mention of Youtube Poop that resulted largely from these two shows?

I think they sell both the Mario seasons on DVD at the local food lion. As a bundle. For 7 bucks. I might pick them up, if I can dig up enough change.

So am I the only person who is bugged by the fact that the Zelda cartoon oy had two triforce gems?
Shouldn't they be Biforce gems then?

Oh GOD I adore that Zelda cartoon. I discovered it a year or two ago, and started watching the episodes for the lulz. They're so wonderfully terrible - made all the better by the fact that it occasionally has potential, then promptly murders that potential by...having Link speak.

Also, Ganon was fucking hilarious. His voice always makes me giggle a little bit, and his plans were absolutely amazing.

OK, now I have to go find and download 'Do The Mario'. I hope you're happy.

It's funny how differently me and my friends remember videogame cartoons growing up. I watched this one, but somehow never once saw the Friday Zelda episodes. My fiance, on the other hand, only watched Zelda and doesn't really remember the Mario parts. On the Sonic cartoon front, I have often told my Sonic-loving friend how odd I find it that an age difference of only a couple years means we grew up watching completely different Sonic cartoons- and to this day hold a preference for only the version we watched as kids. (You'd think I'd have an easier time getting a Sonic junkie to watch SatAM...)

I'd never even heard of this other Mario show. Looking forward to that episode. :)
I can help here some. Recall there used to be a Donkey Kong cartoon along the same supercade showing that included the rubix cube cartoon.

The listed one is apparently a one shot japanese movie/short.

When I was a kid, my local video store had some tapes with this show, with about three episodes per VHS. I found it quite entertaining.

To this day, I'm still impressed that anyone could actually play Mario and Luigi in live-action AND look good doing it! Hats off to Lou Albano and Danny Wells.

My TA was showing this to us last week. When he realized that we were too young to remember, he started bemoaning being old. I was actually the only one old enough to remember, and even then I could only remember one episode... And I don't remember the live action bits...
