Trivia:

On the DVD, the "remade popular music" was edited out and replaced with the "Mega Move" instrumental; piece, just like on the Captain N DVD.

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: On the DVD, in Kootie Pie Rocks, Milli Vanilli are clearly singing during their performances but no voices come out of their mouths (their music was replaced with a generic instrumental tune for legal reasons, and the "singing" clearly wasn't taken into consideration.)

Movie Connections:

Follows "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!" (1989)

Cool

This was one cool series. Combined various characters from Nintendo games in one part and had everyone's favorite plumbers in another part of the show. Captain N combined Icarus, Mega Man, Metorid, Punch out, Donkey Kong and sometimes featured a certain game like Tetris. The Mario part had Mario, Luigi, Toad and the Princess in a Super Mario Bros. 3 environment. A very cool show.
