* BigEater: Mario, and later Yoshi.

* BrattyHalfPint: ''All'' of the Koopa Kids, natch.

* CardCarryingVillain: Koopa and his kids are classic examples.

First were the three cartoons by Creator/{{DiC Entertainment}}. The first was ''Series/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'', a 1989 animated/live action production featuring the adventures of those plucky plumbers from Brooklyn. The show ran four days a week in syndication, with Fridays reserved for a cartoon based on ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda1989''.

Creator/{{Nintendo}}'s flagship franchise, ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' has had multiple [[AnimatedAdaptation Animated Adaptations]] in the West:

There were three cartoons based on the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' franchise.

First was ''Series/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'', a 1989 animated/live action Creator/{{DiC Entertainment}} production was an AnimatedAdaptation of Creator/{{Nintendo}}'s flagship games, featuring the adventures of those plucky plumbers from Brooklyn. The show ran four days a week in syndication, with Fridays reserved for a cartoon based on ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda''.

* BeautyMark: Kootie Pie in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World.

* BadassMustache: Mario and Luigi.

* {{Mondegreen}}: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW9Kzwf6VkA Ohh]]... [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] you, Luigi!"

* AdaptationalBadass: Princess, particularly in the Saturday morning spinoffs. Some episodes had her escaping captivity and even foiling the Koopas' plans on her own.

* ExpositoryThemeTune: ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show'' has one in full 1980s cartoon show glory, explaining the Mario Bros' backstory and the premise of the show [[GratuitousRap in the form of a rap]]. ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' drops it for an expository ''narration'', and ''Super Mario World'' for a [[EarWorm catchy]] song that consists mostly of [[TitleThemeTune the show's title being repeated over and over]].

** ''Series/StarTrek'' gets a reference in every cold open to the ''Super Show'' in the form of the "Plumber's Log" Mario narrates to himself at the beginning of each episode.

* PlanetOfHats: ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show'' has a new one OncePerEpisode, always denoted by a name like "[Hat] Land." There's Caveman Land, Car Land and {{Rap}} Land, just to name a few! ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' borrows a few (considerably less wacky) lands from the game's [[SingleBiomePlanet Single-Biome Country]] environments, like Desert Land and Ice Land.

* BeautyMark: Kootie Pie (or Wendy O. Koopa) in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World.

* DaddysLittleVillain: [[labelnote:Kootie Pie]] Wendy O.[[/labelnote]] Koopa.

* MadScientist: [[labelnote:Kooky]]Ludwig[[/labelnote]] von Koopa.
* MagicSkirt: Princess [[labelnote:Toadstool]] Peach[[/labelnote]], of course.

* MotorMouth: [[MeaningfulName Big Mouth]] Koopa Jr.[[note]] Morton Koopa Jr.[[/note]]

* Website/YouTubePoop: A prime source, especially the ''Super Mario World'' cartoon. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suSSdHr8sog "I'D SAY HE'S HOT ON OUR TAIL"]] is the {{Trope Maker|s}}.

** Documenting ''all'' the {{Shout Out}}s in the ''Super Show'' would be a task daedalian in scope. Nearly every episode is a reference (either a full-blown WholePlotReference, or an InNameOnly reference in the form of a PunnyName title) to a film (such as "The Mark of Zero" for ''Franchise/{{Zorro}}'', "Toad Warrior" for ''Film/MadMax 2: The Road Warrior'', or "Crocodile Mario" for ''Film/CrocodileDundee''), and the ones that aren't are usually a reference to folklore, literature, celebrities or something else.

There were three cartoons based on the ''SuperMarioBros'' franchise.
