Unlike ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', which was broadcast weekdays in syndication, ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' was aired on Saturday mornings on NBC, alongside ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'' for the 1990-1991 season. The two shows originally aired in a one-hour package entitled '''''Captain N & The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''''', which consisted of a half-hour episode of ''Captain N: The Game Master'' sandwiched between two fifteen-minute ''Mario'' episodes. The two shows were then split up for later airings. ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' was the only animated ''Mario'' series to use episode title cards and also the only one to open with a narration instead of a theme song. The show was originally titled "'''''Super Mario Bros. III!'''''" as shown in a poster that featured radically different designs for the Koopalings, [[Tryclyde]] (this time blue), and a previously unseen yellow monster.<ref>[[:File:TAOSMB3PrototypePoster.jpg|the poster in question]]</ref>
