Did kids really watch this shit? More importantly, did it ruin the games at all for you in any way

>> No.5566752

I only watched it for the Mario cartoon. All the live action stuff was absolutely stupid, but it didn't ruin the games at all.

>> No.5566761

You have to understand that before the 2000s there were tons of bizarre spin-offs for everything and they obviously shared very little common with their original source most of the time and most people understood this on some level. I know you're a zoomer because you have to ask stuff like this. The answer is: we just saw it as a strange novelty and not really serious. Have you heard of the Mario movie by any chance?

10yo at the time. Watched it and fucking loved it. We weren't over stimulated with vast quantities of entertainment options, smartphones or the Internet. I understand that this is a foreign concept to kids your age. Additionally there were like 5 channels on the over the air antenna so you better believe any kid liking Nintendo fucking ate that shit up. We had no concept of cannon, 4th wall, etc. This was mario on our tv.

Also we didn't obsess over TV shows because we played outside with our friends without parental guidance.

I did, remember watching it before going to school in the morning, very comfy memories.
As a kid, I preferred the cartoon parts of course, it didn't ruin the games at all for me, on the contrary it was very cool to see stuff from the games on a cartoon. The interactions between King Koopa and his koopalings were hilarious, and they included many sound effects from the games (like the jump sound).
Nowadays, I prefer to watch the live action sequences with based Lou Albano.
Also I know I'm mixing up seasons since the one with the koopalings was the SMB3 cartoon, which I believe didn't have live action sequences. But still, the cartoon episodes that encompassed SMB1, 2 and 3 were all pretty nice IMO, at least from what you'd expect from a BIC cartoon show.
The SMW cartoon was sadly a disappointment IIRC.
>>5566815
>>5566793
I went to see the SMB movie to the theatre in 1993 as well. I didn't hate it, but it was very weird. I didn't know what to make of it. I enjoyed it a lot more as an adult though, I really like the fucked up dystopian Mushroom Kingdom and Hopper as King Koopa. I re-watched the movie recently and enjoyed it unironically.

I enjoy looking at skilled and unique looking animation as much as the next person. Animation is just art after all. But we're talking about content designed, marketed, and directly catered towards 8-12 year olds. And it's done as quickly and cheaply as possible. There is literally nothing in them that would appeal to an adult whatsover. Even as an adult, I can go back and watch an old Bugs Bunny cartoon. And I'll probably still enjoy classic Disney films in 20 years. But there's no chance you're going to get me to watch whatever's on Nickelodeon right now. Sorry.

The last time I watched cartoons meant for kids was in the mid-90s. And even at that time I was probably too old for them. But I did anyway because they were more sophisticated and better made than the shitty cartoons I had when I was a child (like the one that's the subject of this thread). But then cartoons stopped being well made and so I stopped watching them.

And don't get me wrong, I like the Mario Super Show. For purely nostalgic reasons. But you have to admit it's a pile of garbage. No different from what's on TV for kids today. The only difference being, I don't have nostalgia for that stuff so there is zero reason for me to bother watching it.

I agree.
The thing about old cel animation was that all elements were physical: the cel paint, the backgrounds, the actual animation, etc. Even the special effects like the sun light you can see in a lot of animes was real light instead of a posproduction After Effects trick.

It's a damm shame some companies like Disney are removing all the film grain and changing colors to make the movies and shorts look more modern and digital. Even Pixar has done it to their early movies like Toy Story, which now looks horribly dated in the blu-rays.

There's a mountain of cartoons aimed exclusively at (young) adults and literally every single major cartoon made for 8+ year olds is absolutely seeded with subtle (and not so subtle) adult humor to the point I don't even let my son watch Steven Universe for example. It's 1000% the modern standard for animation. If you're too mature for adult swim you're demographically assumed to have kids of your own that you want to enjoy animated content with. The time for a show like Futurama is passed. You might enjoy Disenchantment but I think it sort of misses the mark. I'll reserve my judgements for when the second part comes out though

I only slightly remember this. The thing to understand when looking at this without contemporary memories is that video game characters weren’t really as well defined then as they are now; meaning there wasn’t really a perception of how Mario should be portrayed because you really only knew his in-game sprite and character artwork from boxes and magazines. I remember thinking at the time that the Mario movie didn’t necessarily get the character wrong but it just had a weird setting. Now you look at it and everything is wrong.

I'm not even sure whether they broadcasted the SMW cartoon here in Europe cause I only got to know it existed around a decade and a half ago because I encountered it on the internet. There's a good reason why it's only mentioned with youtube poop edits.

On the other hand, the Super Show got a ton of re-runs here as well on channels like Fox Kids (I remember it having had a run around 1999 when the N64 had already become close to obsolete). SMB3 got airtime as well but I don't think that got a re-run unfortunately. Even if I wasn't as big as a fan of it as my brother was I have to admit it had an awesome OP, something I can't say for many DiC cartoon themes except for maybe the two Sonic cartoons they produced sometime later. Also, in regards to the sonic cartoons AOSTH was shown regularly in the early 90s but I can't remember if SatAM aired here because there already an abundance of cartoons they aired back in the 90s ...

Anyway, back to the SMW cartoon: it's a shame to me because I like Super Mario World the most as a game but except for some small fan service stuff like some arranged songs and a scene based on the bowser fight from the game it has little to nothing to offer, ESPECIALLY if you don't like SMW.

This. How you have sex isn't a personality. I think it's borderline mental disorder but idgaf what you do in the bedroom, just realize I don't think your interesting for your "lifestyle". Queers associating with their sexuality so strong is as cringe as the hetero dude always talking about the trim he gets. It's creepy, and uninteresting, but it's fun to see the freak show at times.

It's mostly an issue in the US, where gays flock together in these "LBGT alliance" communities and have no social circle outside of these. In other countries these things don't really exist, so gays just kinda hang out with non-gays and do normal stuff, the end result being that nobody cares whether they fuck dudes or chicks in their bedrooms and just treat them like any other person.

I was in an alumni group and a guy joined who was turbogay but had gotten a masters from my school despite going to our sports rival for undergrad. He could dish it out but couldn't take it, in regards to banter, so he wrote to our alumni association and complained about homophobia. Club president wrote back and sent some video clips of him gleefully joining in whenever we would shit on somebody for getting into weird shit, sexually, but we still got in trouble.

2000s was the best time for TV cartoons
Most of Ed, Edd n Eddy(which is objectively the best TV cartoon) aired then.

90s is overrated. Only got good in 1996 when Dexter's Lab started airing.
Before then only Batman TAS was good. Shit like Animaniacs and Tiny Toons were cringeworthy garbage.

There were a bunch of great 90s cartoons. Ren & Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life were amazing. Besides Dexter, Cartoon Network had Johnny Bravo and Courage. Even Spongebob technically started in the 90s (99), but it's more of early 2000s thing - still going but its golden age was up until after the movie. Early to mid 00s was fucking great though, tons of good shows. I'm glad Ed, Edd, and Eddy is still getting the respect it deserves, definitely one of the best.

The Mario 3 show was the best one. Like you said, had the best visuals and shit, and the plots were way better than Super Show's.

I used to hope it would be a zelda episode every time but was always let down when it was a mario cartoon. I still watched the mario eps and loved them. This was a nice little bonus whenever you would catch it on tv. It made you want to play your games some more.

Gaming related tv shows were very rare back in those days so you would take what was given with a smile on your face. I actually bought a box set of these episodes for the lulz like 5 years ago and still havent watched it. I probably shouldnt watch it, keep those memories in my past where they belong.

I didn't watch G.I.

I'd never call Super Show some artistic high point or anything but I'd be lying if I said I don't at least enjoy how silly it was.

They didn't want quality programming, they wanted syndication. Super Show was made from the get go with syndication in mind, so it (combined with Zelda) was 65 episodes, meant to be played every weekday. Though it only had a single season, it was on-air in reruns for 5 years.

This show here was peak-fucking lame. None of the characters or settings resembled the actual games at all, and its choice of characters were extremely questionable. Mega Man and Simon were pretty alright choices, but fucking Pit? Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo as main villains? Mother Brain but no Samus in sight? No Mario in sight either, which seems the most obvious choice?

The opening alone sold the Zelda part. Long before the internet, this is our only source of "orchestral" version of the game's theme. I actually like the show's version of Link, sort of like Deadpool's younger brother.

I watched it and loved it, i assumed most people did. It may be one of those things that people dont understand, i dont know. Im not really concerned with the opinions of people that get triggered over shit.. Because its ignorance. I dont hate them and would help them to understand something or be nice to them in any way...

People liked that show because their heads were paced slower, same with the games.. all the retro games.. most people do horrible at them because their attention span is different.

I gaurantee that if you were happy and understood things that trigger you (and im talk talking about agreeing with them but understanding the truth of them) you would like them because a lot of things have a lot to like, unlike that triggered person who is hurt inside and shuts everything down to go out and destroy shit.. Shit thats good and has a lot to like. Thats destructive and will cause us to live in a boring slum where any kind of creativity, positivity, innovation or initiative is taboo.

Most of this, my parents not getting a Nintendo soon glamorized the thing I couldn't have to me and Rescue Rangers was horribly advertised and hating all the Disney characters in bomber-jacket type shit on the merchandise up to that point didn't help it's case to me. Just as well since they wound up rerunning the shit out of Rescue Rangers by the time I quit watching the Mario Bros show. 1 thing good that you can say about Super Mario Bros Super Show is they had a decent number of new episodes instead of jumping to reruns because they could, like a lot of shows.
