Mario All Stars is a compilation television show that was released in 1994 on cable television,[1] first airing on The Family Channel (nowFreeform), then later in edited reruns on the USA Network.[2] It features 40 episodes of the animated segments fromThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show! and all thirteenSuper Mario World episodes with time-compressed footage and no live-action segments. No episodes fromThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 are used, likely due to it instead airing on the USA Network at the time. Advertisements for the series state the episodes to be "40 brand-new adventures".[citation needed] The show was produced byNintendo in association withDIC Entertainment, like the previous cartoons of theSuper Mario franchise.
When the show aired on the USA Network, it was advertised asSuper Mario Brothers All Stars.[2]
The opening and closing of the show contains scenes from the "The Mario Rap" fromThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show! (whereMario andLuigi are pulled down theWarp Zone and roll intoKoopa Troopas), and also clips from theopening toSuper Mario World. The opening theme music is a slightly shortened version of the end credits fromSuper Mario World.
Episodes[edit]
Each airing ofMario All Stars consists of an animated segment ofThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, followed by an episode of theSuper Mario World television series.
Naming[edit]
