In 1989 the two most famous plumbers from Brooklyn burst out of the Nintendo game world and onto television screens across America. The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! aired weekday afternoons and brought Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and King Koopa more thrilling adventures as cartoon characters. And if that weren't enough, each episode also contained live-action segments featuring Mario and Luigi running their Brooklyn plumbing shop - all before they were flushed down a drainpipe into the Mushroom World.

About the show

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! is an American live-action/animated television series that aired from September 4 to December 1, 1989, in syndication. The series is based on the video games Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2 by Japanese multinational video game company Nintendo and Shigeru Miyamoto, and is the first of three television series to be based upon the Mario video game series. The animation was provided by South Korean company Sei Young Animation.

Each episode consists of a live-action "Mario Bros. Plumbing" segment and an animated segment. The live-action segments feature WWE Hall of Fame wrestler/manager "Captain" Lou Albano as Mario and Danny Wells as Luigi alongside a special guest, either as themselves or a character for the segment. The animated segment in Monday through Thursday episodes is a Super Mario Bros. segment, starring the voices of Albano and Wells in their respective roles, and the segment in Friday episodes is a The Legend of Zelda segment.

A sequel series based on Super Mario Bros. 3 aired the following year, followed by another show based on Super Mario World the year after that.
