I think it is important for media companies to share their media in any format. Many of the best collections for classic movies, tv shows, cartoon shorts and many others are no longer in print or have been never released. Companies like Disney did their baby steps with the Walt Disney Treasures Before falling flat on their faces by not rereleasing other historical cartoons. Everything deserves to be preserved and companies like Warner Bros, Disney, Universal etc should re release their archives in a physical format. Otherwise if something happens to those archives - It is game over. This is why things should be preserved.

Actually I think Mel Blanc's final performance was as Mr. Spacely from the Jetson's Movie. So much so that only a few of his lines were used since the remaining lines were never recorded by him before his passing and was done by Jeff Bergman

As far as I know, there's very few DVDs with Club Mario and absolutely none with the Danish Super Mario Brødrenes Eventyr segments, King Koopa's Kool Kartoons, or the Korean original live-action segments. Getting a definitive Super Show experience is an absolute nightmare.

I’m so glad someone made this video lol. About two years ago I was obsessed with getting every (American) DVD release of the Dic Mario cartoons and I actually came close to getting them all before losing interest. I think I’m just missing a couple of the box sets and like two or three of the compilation discs. Who knows, maybe I’ll pick it up again

All of this confusion is exactly why I uploaded all 65 episodes as content-complete as possible (though picture quality isn't always the best)

Finally, someone willing to answer the real questions.

I really loved the show when I was in elementary school. I had the first foldout American box and I'd bring it to school in hopes that my music teacher would play it on the tv at the end of class... for some reason... Also the Cyndi Lauper episode is one I'm fond of for it letting me connect with my parents over a song they were fond of back then. I specifically remember going to this big Golf store and walking through the sea of golf clubs over the green carpet and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun started playing. I think my childhood was weird.

Super Mario Bros Show was good I remember that from Netflix and DVD when I was a little kid

Also why does "George Washington Slept Here" keep getting the shaft, but "Day of the Orphan", the only live action segment I'd argue was genuinely awful, gets to be on EVERY release?!

@@teruienages962 True. Its just that I really don't like "Day of the Orphan".

I once saw a Super Mario Bros. Super Show DVD in a Redbox kiosk. If I remember correctly, it had one or two episodes of the show, and the only other feature was a bunch of previews for other DiC shows, including Inspector Gadget. I don’t even think the thing had subtitles. It did have the Spanish dub of the episodes, though, so there’s that.

I bought the super Mario brothers super show on VHS in 2002 the one live action segment I remember was when Mario and Luigi were trying out a pizza machine and it would make mistakes putting things on pizza that don’t belong such as pencils and marshmallows Mario‘s reaction was hilarious!

22:40 At least you got a Yoshi plush.

Fantastic video! We had to take a crash course on episode availability and the altered music when we started our podcast, and it was a real eye-opener! We do use the Shout Factory sets when we can, if we don't just use the legal streams on KZread.

If you really wanna be complete, the Super Mario Bros Super Show in Korea had original live-action segments with Korean actors. Unfortunately these seem to be mostly hard to find online.

As an aussie not sure about the Zelda show getting a home media release here, But here on TV Zelda aired as it's own show with the live action parts cut while the Super Show kept the live action parts for the Mario cartoons.

Those Mario DVDs are fantastic to anyone who loves Super Mario Brothers Super Show

I’d honestly say the best way to watch the series completely in it’s original format is here on KZread, as a KZreadr named Ninja 4561 actually went thru the effort to have the episodes including the Zelda ones in their airing order,have the cover songs, and even all the live action segments seriously I can’t thank him enough for giving us a true experience for this show

it also appears the various NCircle dvds released from 2008-2010 also have prints without those filters the shout factory sets had. idk if the rereleases of volume 1 and 2 from them comply with those though

Very informative! Always drives me crazy when companies only do partial physical releases of tv shows XP Would be cool to see you do some other release retrospectives like this for other shows with weird or missing episodes, like Disney Afternoon and all their half finished series box sets. Or all the strange releases of all the older Sonic cartoons

This is sadly very common for the saturday morning era of cartoons. Many never released as the full show and the only way to acquire would be bootlegs.

Awesome vid!

I remember my Mom had a Redbox DVD of the Mario cartoon series and I watched it in the morning before I went to kindergarten I was like 4 years old and I still remember the cartoon to this day

There is also a new DVD Box for the German Version for the Super Show called "Die Super Mario Bros. Super Show! - Serien Komplettbox" it say's it has every Episode on 8 DVDs but it could be just a re-packaging of the German 4 Volumes

Man I grew up with this show thanks to the DVDs, I got basically all the Super Mario Bros. Super Show DVDs

I collected the American volume 1 and 2...best I could do...but I am still glad I have them

I have the 4-Disc DvD compilation and they featured the live action. Best purchase as a kid!

Foreigners getting better releases from US shows due to them not having that many licences problems is funny because that is pretty much the reason why Brazil still has Megas XLR on HBO MAX while americans themselves cannot get that show officially due to some corporate scheme by WB there.

I have a vhs copy of Legend Zelda that has Slime Busters Ernie Hudson was in it. It is in rough shape now but I remember watching it frequent growing up it still has the cardboard case

I have the one episode with the birdo on a tape from April 1990. its got the "birdies the word" song which is now gone from the stream copy's. Its even got commercials and one episode of sinpsons from season 1 where bart fights Nelson

I have all the complete series. I got Volume One from Wal-Mart years ago, while Volume 2 on Trader's Village. Except I don't have The Legend of Zelda show.

14:00 as german. wwf wrestling from around the time sgt slaughter was active aired here. and ernie hudson is known minimum trough ghostbusters, which was here as big as everywhere else. domino's pizza on the other hand... they tried it in the early 80s here, but failed. second try was in 2010 (still exist since)

I loved the Super Mario Bros Super Show as a kid but the Zelda cartoon on the other hand, I'd rather eat glass.

I do have the Shout! Factory volume one, but am planning on getting volume two soon. I will update on you when I do.

Ho man I keep looking into dvd sets and really wish we had more videos like this I'd be down for something like this for the sonic cartoons/early adult swim stuff like space ghost coast to coast

I recently owned the 2012 NCircle two-volume set of this show, but without the live-action segments. I'm planning to buy the U.S. Shout Factory sets and the Australian Complete Set of this show (with their respective live-action segments, of course) in the future.

I’ve actually been working through the series using a custom upscaling model (SMBSS 2x). Might want to get those Australian discs to augment the data set.

6:00 Madman Entertainment are the BANE of my existence I tell ya Australia gets full seasons of Gumball and Camp Lazlo, everything that’s missing in the US for shows like Johnny Bravo, and the complete series for shows like Dexter’s Lab _years_ before the rumored upcoming US set DAMN IT WHY CAN’T _I_ BE AUSTRALIAN????

Gotta say, this was a pretty interesting idea for a video, I don't really know if or when I'll check out the super show, but old video game cartoons are super interesting to me, so I probably will end up watching it at some point, but I know that I do want to watch the Zelda cartoon, purely based on me being a Zelda fan, and mostly just to see how "So bad it's good" it is, and now I'm wondering how different the releases for that show are tbh, is there much to miss for it anyway?

It's awesome to see these DVDs get talked about, I own the original Australian collector's set but it doesn't have the cardboard, just the big DVD case and the discs. would that still make it rare?

As a kid I hated Friday mornings because that’s when they would show the Legend of Zelda cartoons instead of the Mario ones. Hated, hated, hated those Zelda cartoons for making Link an idiot!

Even without sound I can still hear it

I was so missed when I got the newest super show dvd and they where missing the live action parts

This video actually inspired me to make my own custom DVDs I can show you pictures when I’m done with them if that’s okay

As someone who recently acquired NCircle's new Mario 3 set, it's actually not that bad. At least compared to Sonic SatAM. While it doesn't have the best packaging or presentation compared to Shout Factory, and it's missing the third disc worth of bonus content, the new NCircle set does make up for a few things. The picture quality is pretty much identical, subtitles are now added, and certain glitches that some episodes had on the original Shout Factory set were fixed in the new set. Overall, NCircle's new DVD release of Mario 3 is pretty tolerable to me. Though I will still keep my Shout Factory set, since I love the original's packaging and presentation too much.

Hey Lane, since the Ed, Edd n Eddy "complete" series box set lacks the holiday specials and the movie "Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show".

Thank you for asking. What you remembered was absolutely NOT false, Magic Johnson did indeed appear in the Super Show. He made a guest appearance in two live-action episodes, "Magic's Magic" and "Do You Believe in Magic?". "Do You Believe in Magic?" was paired with the Mario cartoon, "Pirates of Koopa". The full episode is easily available on both Shout Factory's Volume 1 and Beyond's Collector's Set . "Magic's Magic" was paired up with the Zelda Cartoon, "Cold Spells". However, unlike "Do You Believe in Magic?", "Magic's Magic" never saw a DVD release in the US or Australia. But that segment was included on the Butch Mario and Luigi Kid VHS tape just like you mentioned. I hope I was able to clear up some confusion. Again, thank you so much for asking.

13:53 Actually, American professional wrestling, specifically the WWF, was immensely popular in Germany in the 1980's through the 1990's, due in part to the popularity of native promotion, Catch Wrestling Association, owned by famed German grappler, Otto Wanz... So Sgt. Slaughter may have been one of the MOST familiar faces to the German audience. Especially since Wanz actually won the AWA (American Wrestling Association) World Heavyweight Championship in 1982, and in between runs in the WWF (now WWE) Slaughter had spent the majority of the 1980's working for Verne Gagne's AWA promotion. Also, while stripped of it's American nationalist dressing, GI Joe experienced a great deal of popularity both in England, and continental Europe throughout the 80's and 90's, so it's quite likely that a child living in late 80's/early 90's Germany would be MORE familiar with Sgt. Slaughter, than they would most other U.S. celebrities.
