'''''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''''' was the second ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' television cartoon produced by [[DiC Entertainment]], based upon ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Aired Saturday mornings on NBC alongside ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'', the show served as a bit of a turning point to the DiC cartoon trilogy, where unlike ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show]]'' before it, the Mushroom Kingdom is shown in a more peaceful state, and [[Bowser|King Koopa]] does not use alter egos or employ any of [[Wart]]'s minions. Numerous enemies from ''SMB3'' carry over into this series, such as the [[Koopalings]], who are portrayed with solid personalities, and original names to reflect them. The series has been released on DVD by Shout! Factory and MRA Entertainment, also responsible for the DVD releases of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' cartoon series.
'''''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''''', also known as '''''Super Mario Bros. 3''''', was the second cartoon of [[DiC Entertainment]]'s ''Super Mario'' trilogy, loosely based upon [[Super Mario Bros. 3|the game of the same name]]. Aired Saturday mornings on {{wp|NBC}} alongside ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'', the show served as a bit of a turning point to the ''Super Mario'' trilogy, where unlike ''[[The Super Mario Bros.

==Overview==
==Background==
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 ''Super Mario'' episodes. The two shows were then split up for later airings. ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' was the only animated ''Super Mario'' franchise 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>

As it was based on ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the feel of the Mushroom Kingdom changed to better resemble the game. The various worlds of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' were visited regularly, and new Power-Ups such as [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]] and [[Frog Suit]]s appeared. King Koopa also changed his army, losing [[Wart]]'s minions, but gaining more of his own, including [[Boom Boom (species)|Boom Booms]], [[Boomerang Bro]]thers, [[Sledge Bro]]thers, [[Dry Bones]], and many more. Also, King Koopa no longer goes through various alter-egos and wears costumes, although characters continued to call him King Koopa like they did on the ''Super Show'', his full name, Bowser Koopa, was mentioned in a few episodes. Furthermore, none of the voice cast from the ''Super Show'' returned to their roles, except Harvey Atkin and [[John Stocker]].

One notable addition to the cast was Bowser's seven [[Koopalings#DIC Cartoons|Koopalings]], who were given alternate names for the show. Although DiC has never properly explained why different names were issued for the Koopalings, they hadn't been named by Nintendo of America when the show began production. Because they needed names for the characters, the writers had to make up names of their own.

Other locations in the show included [[Toad House|Toad's House]] and the [[Princess Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]], where the protagonists often reside between their adventures. The Koopa family took up residence at [[Bowser's Castle|Kastle Koopa]], located in the heart of [[Dark Land]]. In many episodes, the Koopas would use their [[Airship|Doomship]] to launch their attacks.

During the credits, a scene of the episode "[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]" is shown, where Mario and Luigi hit a giant block. In the episode, the block quickly vanishes when the Bros. hit it. However, in the credits, the block is still there, even after being hit.

''The Mushroom Kingdom was finally free of King Koopa's tumultuous troublemaking. Mario and Luigi had chased the rascally reptile into a Banishment Zone and sealed the entrance with ten-thousand bricks. Then, after posing for hero statues and being feted with a kingdom-wide gourmet victory feast, our brave plumbers returned home to Brooklyn. But when the peaceful Mushroom People least expected it, King Koopa escaped. Vowing to finally get his villainy right this time, Koopa blasted back to the Mushroom Kingdom in his flying battlewagon, the Doomship, and revealed the wildest, weirdest, wackiest danger any Nintendo world has ever faced: King Koopa's kids. [[Roy Koopa|Bully Koopa]], [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Big Mouth Koopa Jr.]], [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky von Koopa]], [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy Koopa]], [[Wendy O. Koopa|Kootie Pie Koopa]], and the last of the litter, twins [[Lemmy Koopa|Hip]] and [[Iggy Koopa|Hop]]. Now, it was Koopa plus seven Koopalings, and the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom faced seven-hundred times the pandemonium. Princess Toadstool sent an urgent call for help. Only the Super Mario Bros. could stop the royal Koopa and his obnoxious offspring from wreaking their half-baked havoc. And Super Mario 3 [sic], the Super Marios' super mirthful adventures had begun.''

''Our stories can start in several ways. First, they can begin with our heroes and heroine: Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad. I.e. they set out to rescue a troubled Mushroom Kingdom citizen, or on a personal quest, and then quickly find their lives complicated by King Koopa and his kids. Or, we can start our stories at Kastle Koopa, when King Koopa announces his latest wicked and wacky scheme, then selects which one of his Koopalings he'll take along as his assistant. Depending on the specific evil talent required for the Koopa caper, à la Mission Impossible. And then it's up to our heroes to stop them.''

''Since there's never been a more rivalrous group of siblings, the Koopalings clamor to win King Koopa's favor, and sabatoge one another in order to be chosen. When the riot ends, King Koopa and the kid, or kids of his choice, set out to create havoc in all the rich, new levels of the Mushroom Kingdom. From [[Grass Land]] to [[Desert Hill]], [[Water Land]] to [[Giant Land]], [[Sky Land]] to [[Ice Land]], and [[Pipe Land]] to [[Dark Land]].''

''And it's not just the good folk of the Mushroom Kingdom who are in danger. Loading up his giant, flying battlecraft, the [[Airship|Doomship]] with [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Paragoomba]]s, King Koopa and his off-the-wall offspring even mount occasional surprise assaults on the un-Mushroom Kingdoms of the Real World's [[New York City]], [[Hollywood]], Fort Knox, [[London]], [[Paris]], or Hong Kong.''

''If that isn't trouble enough, the Koopa Krew has a whole new assortment of malicious and madcap minions to help them harass our heroes and heroine. [[Boo|Boo Diddley]]s, pesky ghost heads with big teeth and short tempers. [[Thwomp]], a monumental hunk of menacing rock with the ambition to be Mario's tombstone. [[Ptooie]]s, mouth-headed mercenaries who spit spiked cannonballs. And [[Rocky Wrench]], a sneaky turtle with severe overbite who hides in manholes and ambushes unsuspecting plumbers.''

==Differences from the game==
The Koopalings were known by different names in the series, having new names that reflected their given personalities, and some aspects of their designs deviated slightly from their game artwork. Koopa was called "Bowser" in a few episodes, and that name was used regularly in the French dub, which also used the Koopalings' game names. The character designs for the four heroes and Koopa were retained from the ''Super Show'', but after "Princess Toadstool for President", Mario's hair was recolored to its present brown while Luigi's hair stays black, and Toadstool's eyes are black in this series as opposed to their original green. There is only one single [[Airship]], which is referred to as the "Doomship", and [[Goomba's Shoe|Kuribo's Shoe]] is referred to as "Karoobi's Shoe". No distinction is made between standard Super Leaves and [[P-Wing]]s, with all flight power being near-limitless, and the Mushroom Kingdom and [[Grass Land]] are treated as one and the same.

Successor Super Mario World (1991)
“It is a legend no one will forget. Everyone thought King Koopa had left the Mushroom Kingdom. And then... his Doom Ship attacked! King Koopa was back! With the greatest danger ever known...His Koopa Kids! Using their new super powers, the Super Mario Bros. rescued Princess Toadstool, and beat back the evil Koopa family.”
—Opening narration

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, also known as Super Mario Bros. 3, was the second cartoon of DiC Entertainment's Super Mario trilogy, loosely based upon the game of the same name. Aired Saturday mornings on NBC alongside Captain N: The Game Master, the show served as a bit of a turning point to the Super Mario trilogy, where unlike The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! before it, the Mushroom Kingdom is shown in a more peaceful state, there is no live-action segment at the beginning and end of the episode and King Koopa does not use alter egos or employ any of Wart's minions. Numerous enemies from Super Mario Bros. 3 carry over into this series, such as the Koopa Kids, who are portrayed with solid personalities, and original names to reflect them. The series has been released on DVD by Shout! Factory and MRA Entertainment, also responsible for the DVD releases of the Super Mario World cartoon series. This series has 26 episodes.

Overview[edit]

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 Super Mario episodes. The two shows were then split up for later airings. The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 was the only animated Super Mario franchise 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.[2]

While The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! mainly dealt with Mario and Luigi helping Princess Toadstool and Toad trying to stop King Koopa from taking over the Mushroom Kingdom and other lands, The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 took place some time later, after the events of the game, when the Mushroom Kingdom was in a more peaceful state.

As it was based on Super Mario Bros. 3, the feel of the Mushroom Kingdom changed to better resemble the game. The various worlds of Super Mario Bros. 3 were visited regularly, and new Power-Ups such as Super Leaves and Frog Suits appeared. King Koopa also changed his army, losing Wart's minions, but gaining more of his own, including Boom Booms, Boomerang Brothers, Sledge Brothers, Dry Bones, and many more. Also, King Koopa no longer goes through various alter-egos and wears costumes, and although characters continued to call him King Koopa like they did on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, his full name, Bowser Koopa, was mentioned in a few episodes. Furthermore, none of the voice cast from Super Show! returned to their roles, except Harvey Atkin and John Stocker.

One notable addition to the cast was Bowser's seven Koopa Kids, who were given alternate names for the show. Although DiC has never properly explained why different names were issued for the Koopalings, their alternate names are descriptive of their characters. Additionally, they hadn't been named by Nintendo of America when the show began production, suggesting the writers had to make up names of their own.

Koopalings

Other locations in the show included Toad's House and the Mushroom Castle, where the protagonists often reside between their adventures. The Koopa family took up residence at Kastle Koopa, located in the heart of Dark Land. In many episodes, the Koopas would use the Doom Ship to launch their attacks.

During the credits, a scene of the episode "Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas" is shown, where Mario and Luigi hit a giant block. In the episode, the block quickly vanishes when the Bros. hit it. However, in the credits, the block is still there, even after being hit.

From the writer's bible[edit]

The Mushroom Kingdom was finally free of King Koopa's tumultuous troublemaking. Mario and Luigi had chased the rascally reptile into a Banishment Zone and sealed the entrance with ten-thousand bricks. Then, after posing for hero statues and being feted with a kingdom-wide gourmet victory feast, our brave plumbers returned home to Brooklyn. But when the peaceful Mushroom People least expected it, King Koopa escaped. Vowing to finally get his villainy right this time, Koopa blasted back to the Mushroom Kingdom in his flying battlewagon, the Doom Ship, and revealed the wildest, weirdest, wackiest danger any Nintendo world has ever faced: King Koopa's kids. Bully Koopa, Big Mouth Koopa Jr., Kooky von Koopa, Cheatsy Koopa, Kootie Pie Koopa, and the last of the litter, twins Hip and Hop. Now, it was Koopa plus seven Koopa Kids, and the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom faced seven-hundred times the pandemonium. Princess Toadstool sent an urgent call for help. Only the Super Mario Bros. could stop the royal Koopa and his obnoxious offspring from wreaking their half-baked havoc. And Super Mario 3,[sic] the Super Marios' super mirthful adventures had begun.

Meet the Marios and the Koopas[edit]

Our stories can start in several ways. First, they can begin with our heroes and heroine: Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad, i.e. they set out to rescue a troubled Mushroom Kingdom citizen, or on a personal quest, and then quickly find their lives complicated by King Koopa and his kids. Or, we can start our stories at Kastle Koopa, when King Koopa announces his latest wicked and wacky scheme, then selects which one of his Koopa Kids he'll take along as his assistant. Depending on the specific evil talent required for the Koopa caper, à la Mission Impossible. And then it's up to our heroes to stop them.

Since there's never been a more rivalrous group of siblings, the Koopa Kids clamor to win King Koopa's favor, and sabatoge one another in order to be chosen. When the riot ends, King Koopa and the kid, or kids of his choice, set out to create havoc in all the rich, new levels of the Mushroom Kingdom. From Grass Land to Desert Land, Water Land to Giant Land, Sky Land to Ice Land, and Pipe Land to Dark Land.

And it's not just the good folk of the Mushroom Kingdom who are in danger. Loading up his giant, flying battlecraft, the Doom Ship with Koopa Troopas and Paragoombas, King Koopa and his off-the-wall offspring even mount occasional surprise assaults on the un-Mushroom Kingdoms of the Real World's New York City, Hollywood, Fort Knox, London, Paris, or Hong Kong.

If that isn't trouble enough, the Koopa Krew has a whole new assortment of malicious and madcap minions to help them harass our heroes and heroine. Boo Diddleys, pesky ghost heads with big teeth and short tempers. Thwomp, a monumental hunk of menacing rock with the ambition to be Mario's tombstone. Ptooies, mouth-headed mercenaries who spit spiked cannonballs. And Rocky Wrench, a sneaky turtle with severe overbite who hides in manholes and ambushes unsuspecting plumbers.

In every corner of this colorful land, we find appealing three-dimensional personalities, who truly deserve a Mario Bros. rescue. No matter how much we want to laugh at the comedic appearances of our Nintendoish cast, they come complete with hearts, minds, dreams, feelings, and all the indentifiable human conflicts essential to rich storytelling.

  • Etc TV (?-2014)

Brazil[edit]

There were three different Brazilian Portuguese dubs. The first dub by Herbert Richers S.A. does not use the original background music in the first two episodes and in all of the episodes that come after the 14th, being replaced with Isao Tomita's compositions. The second dub was made by BKS only for distribution in VHS format and Toad was renamed to "Mushroom" for unknown reasons. The third dub was made by Uniarthe exclusively for distribution in DVD, and Toad was this time renamed to "Todd".

Differences from the game[edit]

  • The Koopa Kids were known by different names in the series, having new names that reflected their given personalities, and some aspects of their designs deviated slightly from their game artwork.
  • Koopa was called "Bowser" in a few episodes, and that name was used regularly in the French dub, which also used the Koopa Kids' game names.
  • The character designs for the four heroes and Koopa were retained from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! despite the fact that Nintendo redesigned the main characters in the Super Mario franchise, but after "Princess Toadstool for President," Mario's hair was recolored to its present brown while Luigi's hair stays black, and Toadstool's eyes are black in this series as opposed to their original green.
    • Although the show did not carry over the Mario brothers' current shirt and overall coloration swaps from the game, the orange-and-red color motif from their NES fire sprites, where their shirts were colored like their hats but their overalls were not, was retained when it appeared in "Super Koopa." Also, Mario was portrayed with his current color scheme from the games on the Shout! Factory DVD cover, while in the show, he is still portrayed with his original color scheme.
  • There is only one single Airship, which is referred to as the "Doom Ship".
  • Kuribo's Shoe is referred to as "Karoobi."
  • No distinction is made between standard Super Leaves and P-Wings, with all flight power being near-limitless, and the Mushroom Kingdom and Grass Land are treated as one and the same.
  • In order to use the power-ups, Bowser needed to wear a special pendant created by Kooky and be in the real world.
  • Bowser's Castle is surrounded by water instead of lava.

1 - The difference between the Latin American (in the original dub) and the Spain re-dub title of the series is this: in Latin America, they are the Super "Mario" Brothers, with Super being an adjective to "Mario" which is their last name, whereas in Spain, they are the "Super Mario" Brothers, with "Super Mario" being sort of their last name. This difference is one of the minor ones between the two dubs, the Spain re-dub having kept many changes and mistakes (particularly regarding to character's names and episode titles) from the Latin American dub, as opposed to the first Spain dub, which went to their own (and more accurate) translation of the English version.

Trivia[edit]

  • The VHSs distributed by the Argentine company Target use artwork from video games in the box art, which include Super Mario Bros. 2 and Yoshi.
