Based On The Popular Video Game, Mario Is Coming To TV

The seasons of the Mario Bros. on DVD are better than the video games. You have all the characters like Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool ( It became Princess Peach in 2000 ), Toad, Bowser Koopa, Koopa Troopa, Koopa Kids ( Not 'Til Super Mario Bros. 3 ), Yoshi ( The Mario Log In ). The animation of these classic games went to life. The Mario character started in the 1981 game Donkey Kong and know it is for whole new systems and better and better and better as a video game series. The show was a good improvement but it was just a little lame when it got into the Super Mario Bros 3 like the kid songs, flying raccons, frogs it was just weird. The show Mario Log In is an internet program where you sign in at. It features the Super Mario Bros. 4 scoop and interviews.

Do the Mario!

I couldn't believe it when I saw this at the store, and I had to have it right away. The best part is that I was only 6 or 7 years old when this first came on, and I could only remember 2 episodes distinctly, so the other 22 episodes are new to me. I remember not liking the live action parts, but I found out that is just because I saw 2 bad segments. 5 or 6 minutes of the show is live action, and the other 17 minutes is the cartoon story. They never have anything to do with eachother, and the cartoon is way better than the live action. The live action stuff isn't that bad though. Lou Albano as Mario and Danny Wells as Luigi have great chemistry together, and they are just as good doing the voice acting for the cartoon. All the other voice actors are good. None of the characters are annoying, but the Princess is a bit boring. Toad is my favorite, just ahead of Mario. All the characters get great lines every episode, but Mario, Toad and King Koopa get the best. Toad- "Look lady, I got 10 gold coins. They are yours if you just let me go." "It ain't over till it's over lizard lips."

Overall this wasn't one of the best shows from when I was a kid, but still fun to watch. It rarely gets too corny, and the live action segments bring a freshness to the show that can't really be matched by any other cartoon. And of course you have the music. That just tops it all off. They are constantly using the sound effects too. In one live action scene, Mario and Luigi hug, and the power up sound effect is used.

Picture quality is fine and sound is good. Special features are minimal, but there is a good 5 minute interview with Lou Albano where he talks his involvement with the show.

HEY PAISANOS!!

Well I was soooooo happy when I found out that one of my child hood shows were hitting DVD! So I went on here and looked at the reviews. I was a little scared at first to purchase when I started to see people saying that there were no live action segments. I thought to myself if the people who put this DVD were to take that out the show would't be a show at all because the live action segments are what made the show so intresting. So finally I took the bull by the horns and just went with my gut and got it myself. I have enjoyed this totally! I am 23 now and I was a kid in the 80's who use to watch this show and was a fanatic of the game and til this day I still am a fan of Mario! Everything was in this DVD. The live action segments and the full show they even had previews of The Legend Of Zelda to add that feel like you were watching just the way it was back then. I started to scratch my head and think where people were saying that there were no live action segments. It was all there! I do recomend to buy this DVD!! You will be fully pleased totally!! I am almost done with this DVD and I still need to watch the second volume which I will be rating as well!! I brought them both as a combo. June 29, 2007
