''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' was a 1989 animated/live action [[
The show was presented in a [[Three Shorts]] style, where one live-action story is split into two parts and straddles an animated short. The live-action short features the brothers in Brooklyn before they were sucked into the Mushroom Kingdom, providing plumbing duties for normal joes (like Dr. Frankenstein) and celebrities (like Lyle Alzado and [[Cyndi Lauper]]) alike.

== ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show'' contains examples of: ==▼
* [[And Now You Must Marry Me]]: "Do You, Princess Toadstool, Take This Koopa..."
* [[Attack of the 50
** [[Hilarious in Hindsight|And then they made]] [[New Super Mario Bros.|the Mega Mushroom]]...
* [[The Blank]]: Indiana Joe from "Raiders of the Lost Mushroom" is literally drawn without an actual face.
* [[Brown Note]]: In one episode, Koopa is defeated by the playing of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' theme song. Seriously.
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
* [[Dance Sensation]]: Do the Mario!
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Clawgrip got this bad. A boss in the second game, he was not only reduced to a mook, but a generic mook.
{{quote|
* [[The Dragon]]: Mouser.
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: Sergeant Kooperman, Mario and Luigi's Plumbers' Academy instructor who has Bowser's voice.
Line 37 ⟶ 36:
* [["Friend or Idol?" Decision]]: The group finds another plumber who got stranded in the Mushroom Kingdom. He had finished building a machine that could get back to Brooklyn, but it had a short window of use. The Mario brothers have to choose whether to go back home or save Princess Toadstool and Toad from King Koopa, whose theme of the week was Koopa Khan. Here's a hint on what they chose: this isn't the series finale.
** Another episode has them actually get back to Brooklyn... but find out that King Koopa and his Koopa Pack had followed them and were taking over the city. They end up having to lure Koopa back to the Mushroom Kingdom and destroy the pathway to Brooklyn, thus returning to the old status quo.
* [[Fountain of Youth]]: Appears in the episode "Two Plumbers and a Baby". Peach, or rather, Toadstool, accidentally falls in it, transforming her into an infant. Koopa ends up falling in it too, by the end of the episode. [[Hilarious in Hindsight|Baby Peach and Baby Bowser actually became canon characters much later on]] (In ''[[Mario
* [[Idiot Ball]]: In the live-action episode "Goodbye, Mr. Fish", Mario is stopped from dropping a meatball into Kenneth's fishbowl by Luigi, yet Mario proceeds to do it anyway.
* [[Incredible Shrinking Man]]: Mario ended up getting shrunk in two episodes.
** [[Hilarious in Hindsight|And then they made]] [[New Super Mario Bros.|the Mini Mushroom]]...
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: All the pasta jokes.
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: Bowser was always referred to as "King Koopa", and never by his first name. Averted with the Princess; "Toadstool" was her Western name until 1996, years after this cartoon ended production.
Line 49 ⟶ 48:
* [[Mage in Manhattan]]: King Koopa.
* [[May the Farce Be with You]]
* [[Mondegreen]]: "Oh,
* [[Musical Episode]]: "Bad Rap" is performed entirely in (awful) rap.
* [[No One Could Survive That]]: In "Toad Warriors", Kar-Krazy Koopa blasts a fortress where the heroes are hiding. Though he immediately jeers like he assumes he's defeated his opponents, in the very next scene he refuses Mouser's insistence on the same outcome, thinking that the heroes might be lying low as a trick. It takes a couple more potshots and more urging from Mouser until Koopa finally agrees to move in, which is also when Mario & Co. initiate the plan they had just developed.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: King Koopa and the Koopa Pack. The show, due to its pastiche nature, offered most genres' worth of Obviously Evil design. Because it's a comedic show, though, the lowest Mooks are occasionally given [[Affably Evil]] moments when they think nobody is looking.
* [["On the Next..."]]: Each episode would feature Mario, Luigi or another character in the live-action segments introducing such a segment for that week's ''[[The Legend of Zelda (animation)|The Legend of Zelda]]''. That meant for different previews for one episode.
* [[Once Per Episode]]: The Mario Bros. battling Koopa Troopas to the beat of old pop music. Examples include Mario & Luigi fighting ninjas ("Kung Fu Fighting") and redcoats in 1776 ("He's a Rebel").
* [[Opening Narration]]: "Plumber's Log, Number ______...."
* [[Pie-Eyed]]: Almost everyone, in a rare modern use that's not a deliberate throwback.
