Mario All Stars



Mario All Stars was a compilation TV show that was released in 1994 on cable television, first airing on The Family Channel (now ABC Family), then later in edited reruns on the USA Network. It featured 39 episodes of the animated segments from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! and all the Super Mario World episodes with time-compressed footage. Oddly enough, the commercials aired for this show featured clips from The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, which was suspiciously never featured on this show. These commercials also claimed to feature the Mario Bros. in "40 brand-new adventures".

Mario All-Stars was almost undoubtedly named after Super Mario All-Stars, another compilation of past Mario-related works (although games rather than television episodes, in Super Mario All-Stars ' s case).

The introduction to the show contained scenes from the Super Mario Bros. opening segment from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! (where Mario and Luigi get pulled down the Warp Drain and roll into the Koopa Troopas), and also clips from the opening to Super Mario World. The opening theme song was actually just the ending credits theme from Super Mario World.
