''Super Mario World'' originally aired alongside ''Captain N: The Game Master'' on {{wp|NBC}}, where it was referred to as '''''Super Mario Bros. 4''''' in end credit promos and '''''Super Mario Bros. World''''' in commercial bumpers. ''Super Mario World'' was also the only Mario cartoon to air in [[Australia]] on {{wp|Network Ten}} and {{wp|Cheez TV}}, though only on Mondays to Wednesdays on the latter. Oddly, in both the United Kingdom and Australia, the episode "[[King Scoopa Koopa]]" aired before "[[The Night Before Cave Christmas]]", due to a mishap involving the show's production order and the production order of ''Captain N: The Game Master''. | ''Super Mario World'' originally aired alongside ''Captain N: The Game Master'' on {{wp|NBC}}, where it was referred to as '''''Super Mario Bros. 4''''' in end credit promos and '''''Super Mario Bros.

Both were canceled by the fall of 1992 and replaced with a Saturday version of {{wp|Today (U.S. TV program)|''Today''}}, along with their {{wp|TNBC}} block, which included such shows as ''Saved by the Bell'' and ''California Dreams''. In the mid-nineties, the ''Super Mario World'' episodes aired on USA Network, without the ''Captain N'' episodes. ''{{wp|Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog}}'', another cartoon based on a video game franchise by DIC, and ''{{wp|Street Fighter (TV series)|Street Fighter}}'', based on the popular fighting game, were also aired on USA Network around the same time. | ||
Due to the nature of its production, ''Super Mario World'' is actually one half of a series entitled '''''Captain N and the New Super Mario World''''', which also consists of the third season of ''Captain N: The Game Master''. Although the "New" suffix was used to promote the ''Super Mario World'' game when the show first aired, it is part of the series' proper title, and was never dropped. An episode of this half hour series consists of a ''Super Mario World'' cartoon and either a ''Captain N'' cartoon, or a second ''Super Mario World'' cartoon. Due to legal issues, the third season episodes of ''Captain N'' and the ''Super Mario World'' episodes are inseparable, and have to be released on DVD in the same set. This also explains why the first two seasons of ''Captain N: The Game Master'' were released in a "complete series" set; the third season is part of a separate show. The show can also be seen on {{wp|Starz Encore}}’s Kids and Family channel on weekday afternoons since 2019 as well as on its WildBrain YouTube channels and Paramount+. | Due to the nature of its production, ''Super Mario World'' is actually one half of a series entitled '''''Captain N and the New Super Mario World''''', which also consists of the third season of ''Captain N: The Game Master''.
