I was obsessed with this show when I was younger. I am unaware how I thought it was good in any way.
All the episodes are structured like this. The showstarts with a cheesy rap sequence that would make The Nutshack cringe. Then it transitions to a live action section with two actors that I didn't bother figuring out the names to dressed up as Mario and Luigi. They meet a random celebrity, (including Elvis Presley in one episode) and humor ensues.
Next is the cartoon. The stories tend to be nothing more than parodies of other famous stories or themes like Wild West or Indiana Jones. The animation is quite lazy and many frames are reused. The voice acting does not fare much better, as some voices tend to get grating (especially Toad, who sounds like an elderly smoker. ) But agruably the worst thing about the Super Mario Super Show is the dialogue; it mostly amounts to pasta puns and poorly delivered lines.
The only positives of this show is that it uses a lot of music and sound effects from Super Mario Bros 2, which it more closely resembles than the original Super Mario Bros and the very ridiculous dance referred to as "The Mario" one of the actors does during the credits, which I found very silly yet hilarious. Overall, I would not recommend this, especially if you are a fan of Mario, as you will be somewhat disappointed.
