History WesternAnimation / BikerMiceFromMars

''Biker Mice from Mars'' first aired in 1993 and ran for three seasons; thanks to having [[Creator/DepatieFrelengEnterprises the same producer/distributor, New World/Marvel]], it was also paired up with ''WesternAnimation/IronManTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/FantasticFourTheAnimatedSeries'' as part of the ''Marvel Action Universe'' block. (Creator/MarvelComics also published the ComicBookAdaptation.) The show received a {{Revival}} in 2006; in this SequelSeries, the evil aliens are [[CatsAreMean a felinoid race]], the Catatonians. Both series were created by Creator/RickUngar, with the 2006 series sporting character designs (and redesigns) by comic book artist Bernie Wrightson. There is also a licensed UsefulNotes/NintendoDS game. Another revival was [[https://movieweb.com/biker-mice-from-mars-is-getting-a-revival-series-new-toyline/ announced]] in early 2023, to be co-produced by Ryan Reynolds.

** The original series had a racing game for the SNES where the player could play as Throttle, Vinnie, and Modo as well as Lawrence Limburger, Greasepit, and Dr. Karbunkle.
** The 2006 revival had a tie-in game for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 as well as the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS.

* FourFingeredHand: Humans are drawn with five fingers, but Karbunkle is not. It does lend weight to the theory he is a HumanAlien.

* AnachronismStew / ArtisticLicensePalaeontology: "Hickory Dickory Doc" makes the classic mistake of depicting dinosaurs and cavemen living in the same era. For bonus points, the age is identified as "four or five milliion years" in the past, making it both too old for humans and too recent for dinosaurs.

* CasualDangerDialog: A ''lot'' of this.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to both ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' and the other TeenageMutantSamuraiWombats series. The episodes about the heroes' DarkAndTroubledPast during the war against the Plutarchians were more serious and dramatic than usual -- and sometimes downright tragic.

** In the 1993 episode "We Don't Need No Stinkin' City", Limburger orders Karbunkle to send him the stinkiest and nastiest crooks Plutark has to offer (he is referring to the Loogie Brothers). Karbunkle's response is to protest "Not WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs!" To further hit the nail on the head, Limburger also dismisses Karbunkle's assumption by saying that the Smurfs are not suitable for fighting the Biker Mice at all.

While on this mission, they recall how they once had to save Mars from a similar fate.

* FingerlessGloves: The Biker Mice wear gloves that lack fingers.
