Trivia:

There was a View-master three-reel set based on the show (but labeled as "Super Mario Bros. 2"). The "A" reel showed various scenes from the live-action segments, while the "B" and "C" reels were an adaptation of the episode "The Bird! The Bird!" Oddly, although the picture descriptions say "King Koopa," the villain featured in reels "B" and "C" is clearly Wart.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: In early episodes, Toad's hat is the wrong color (red with white dots, as opposed to the proper white with red dots.)

Quotes:

Princess Peach Toadstool: [as a baby]
[to Luigi]
Princess Peach Toadstool: More fasty, more fasty, Uncle Luigi.
King Bowser Koopa: [dressed as a baby] Stop or I'll tell on you. I've been hanging around these kids too long.
[Albatross drops a net on Koopa]
King Bowser Koopa: Net *them*, you idiots! Not me!

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

I always liked to watch this show! I've always been a big fan of the Super Mario video games as well! The Super Mario Brothers Super Show would have a live segment with great wrestling personality "Captain" Lou Albano and underrated actor Danny Wells and guest stars and then show the cool cartoon and then back to the live segment! It was an unusual show but it was always entertaining. Albano even sang in the end credits which was a surprise but it went good with the show! How the kids of today would like it I do not know but if you like the Mario Brothers and can watch this show on TV or able to rent or buy do so because it is really a cool classic!
