Super Mario World (also sometimes unofficially referred to as The Super Mario World Show) is an animated television series loosely based on the Super NES video game of the same name. It is the third and thus far last Saturday morning cartoon based on the Super Mario Bros. NES and Super NES series of video games.
Format
The series centered on Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool, now living in Dinosaur Land (sometimes also called Dinosaur World) with Yoshi, who was depicted on the show as a curious childlike dinosaur with a large appetite and several phobias. King Koopa and the Koopalings were also around, having followed the Mario Bros. and the Princess to Dinosaur Land.
Unlike in the game, Dinosaur Land was depicted as being populated with cavepeople, including a pre-adolescent caveboy named Oogtar, who replaced the role of Toad. Some episodes revolved around Mario trying to introduce a modern invention to the cavepeople in an attempt to make their lives easier, only for the Koopas to twist it into an evil scheme. It is unclear whether the characters had traveled back in time (in the episode "Rock TV", King Koopa mentions "there's no TV here in the Stone Age [because] it hasn't been invented yet"), or if Dinosaur Land was simply a "lost valley"-esque island that the characters had come to (in the flashback episode "Mama Luigi", Luigi simply mentions that he and the others came to Dinosaur Land without any mention of time travel).
The show was originally aired on Saturday mornings on NBC in the 1991-92 season. It was featured in a half-hour time slot with a shortened version of Captain N: The Game Master, titled Captain N & The New Super Mario World (also erroneously titled Captain N & Super Mario Bros. World in the commercial bumpers). Episodes of Super Mario World were later shown as part of the syndication package Captain N and the Video Game Masters. Afterwards, the series was split up from Captain N altogether and shown in time-compressed reruns on Mario All-Stars. In the United Kingdom, however, the show was still broadcast as Captain N & The New Super Mario World.
Unlike the previous two Mario cartoons, the show was not widely distributed on home video in the NTSC region, where its only release was the inclusion of the show's Christmas episode on the 1996 VHS release Super Mario Bros. Super Christmas Adventures. Meanwhile, two PAL tapes were released in the United Kingdom. More recently, the series was released on DVD in Australia. Finally, Shout! Factory released a Complete Series DVD set of Captain N & The New Super Mario World on November 13, 2007. [1]
The Super Mario World series eventually found a new audience through a series of non sequitur videos on Youtube, remixed and spliced with several other obscure and low-tier video game and animated series. These are produced under the title of Youtube Poop.
Differences between the series and the game
- The show takes place in Dinosaur World where Yoshi lives with a preadolescent caveman named Oogtar.
- Yoshi's Island was populated with cavemen instead of Yoshis.
- The Forest of Illusion was called the Enchanted Forest.
- The Vanilla Dome was referred to as the Lava Pits[2].
- Enemies featured in the game were rarely called by their in-game names on the show, but rather by whichever real-life creatures they resembled.
- Yoshi was suddenly afraid of water, which may have been a later inspiration for Yoshi in the release of Super Mario Sunshine for the Nintendo Gamecube in 2002.
- Mario and Luigi still wore a pair of red and green overalls, respectively, with a blue shirt.
- Bowser was still called King Koopa and retained his original all-green appearance from the first cartoon.
- Princess Toadstool still retained her classic appearance with her red hair, plain gold crown, and no arm length gloves.
