Cover art

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Volume 1 is a DVD release of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, and the first of two volumes of the complete series, released on March 28, 2006, by Shout! Factory. This volume contains the first 24 episodes including both the animated and live-action segments, and special features within a 4-disc box set.

NCircle Entertainment would later reissue the box set, released on May 22, 2012. This release is similar to the Shout! Factory release, with the only exception being that the live-action segments are not included.

Blurb

In 1989 the two most famous plumbers from Brooklyn burst out of the Nintendo game world and onto television screens across America. The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! aired weekday afternoons and brought Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and King Koopa more thrilling adventures as animated cartoon characters. And if that weren't enough, each episode also contained live-action segments featuring Mario and Luigi running their Brooklyn plumbing shop - all before they were flushed down a drainpipe into the Mushroom World. With professional wrestler Captain Lou Albano as Mario, Danny Wells as Luigi, plus a strong rock 'n' rap score, the show attracted guest stars like pop sensation Cyndi Lauper, professional wrestler Sgt. Slaughter, Danica McKellar (The Wonder Years), NBA superstar Magic Johnson and Nicole Eggert (Baywatch).

These 24 original episodes, complete with animation and live-action segments, plus the special features will convince you... "Hangin' with the plumbers, you'll be hooked on the brothers..."
