hey, here's a question: what did everyone think of that cartoon show by Dic? I can't say it was perfect, but pretty damn good for an American adaption of a Japanese game franchise (need I remind everyone of Final Fantasy: Spirits Within or that one Mega Man cartoon?), in fact, I'd go as far to say it's the best and most faithful Japanese->American adaption. Not only is most of the game's content and atmosphere intact, they even used the game's sound effects and reorchestrated the music.
Anyway, out of the three shows, I think Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 was my favorite. Don't know why.... could be the fact that I get more of a nostalgic buzz from it (I spent part of my earlier childhood watching that show everyday on the Family Channel, moreso than the other two. Even recording some of the episodes, and I still have that tape), or it could be the plain fact that I missed the show more since, for whatever reason, the more recent Super Mario All-stars collaboration never featured it (pretty stupid considering Super Mario Bros. Super Show episodes vastly out-number Super Mario World episodes about 5 times over). But I think it's more the fact that it adapted the game most faithfully (King Koopa's even referred to as "Bowser" at one point), and it featured a cast of loveable characters (World's Ugtar wasn't so appealing, and I didn't really like Yoshi acting so childish, and his fear of water is a great contradiction from the games. The Koopalings were in World, mind you, but not quite as much focus as here), in fact, this show is part of the reason I grew to love those Koopalings, whom I talked about earlier. My favorite episode is definitely that one where each of the 7 Koopalings use their magic wand to screw up one of the 7 continents in the real world XD. The one where Kootie Pie (Wendy O.) disguises as a human (with a tail) to seduce Mario and then Luigi disguises as "Casanova Koopa" to seduce Kootie is my runner-up.
