History YMMV / TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow

** In one of the life action segments, where Mario and Luigi are charged with the task of fixing up Inspector Gadget, they refer to each other as Dr. Mario and Dr. Luigi. VideoGame/DrMario would come out a year later, and Dr. Luigi would come out in 25 years.

** The live-action segment "Slime Busters" features a guest appearance by Ernie Hudson as a [[Film/Ghostbusters Ghostbuster pastiche]] and had Luigi get possessed. Also of note is that Ernie Hudson's character Winston Zeddemore was notably omitted from the trailers for both Ghostbusters movies. Now we have [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion two]] [[WesternAnimation/LuigisMansionDarkMoon games]] where Luigi captures ghosts, both of which were intended to help Luigi live outside of his brother's shadow.

* SoBadItsGood: While some genuinely like it, others have this opinion about it.

* "Count Koopula" features a piranna plant who can spit out fire, which had not appeared in any of the games yet, but would appear in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3''.

** It's clear that, since this is a cartoon based on a Video Game, certain features were bound to be included into future games. [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros From Mini Mushrooms and Mega Mushrooms]], [[VideoGame/YoshisIsland to Baby Peach]] and [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime Baby Bowser]], [[VideoGame/SuperMario64 Mario's love of food]], [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion Luigi's cowardice]], [[VideoGame/SuperPrincessPeach Peach's]] and [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii Toad's]] much greater roles, and many many more, it's clear that the cartoonists had some very good ideas that Creator/{{Nintendo}} would use later on. One thing, however, a lot of people will skip over is the following sentence from the live action skit, "No Way To Treat A Queenie"; "Well, since I am the queen, you see, I really must use the royal {{Wii}}". For those of you who don't know, HMTheQueen actually has a "Royal {{Wii}}", one that is [[http://kotaku.com/5264383/the-queen-of-englands-gold+plated-wii gold-plated]].

* AssPull: The show seems to rely on one every episode. Just two examples are Luigi knowing how to speak Pidgit for some reason and Mario using one of the [[CirclingBirdies Circling Stars]] that appears after hitting his head ''as a Starman, which gives him invincibility''. Yeah...

** "Plumber's Academy" pretty much gave us {{Wario}}.

** A minor one but in "Bad Rap", the king of Rap Land is an {{Expy}} of JamesBrown. [[SarcasmMode Because James Brown sure was a big time rapper.]]

--->The awful rapping in this episode makes the raps from the Hammerman cartoon sound like Tupac Shakur.

* PainfulRhyme: Most, if not all of the rhymes in "Bad Rap", will make you groan loudly.

* BrokenAesop: The Christmas special, "Koopa Claus" attempts to make a point about giving being better than receiving. Toad snaps Santa out of the latter's HeroicBSOD over his entire workshop being frozen by offering him the snowboard that Princess Toadstool gave to him. Santa then comments that he's never seen anybody express the true spirit of Christmas like him. While it was a noble act, it's ruined by the fact that Toad was a) only motivated to do so because it meant more presents for him and b) being incredibly selfish, materialistic as well as [[TheLoad unhelpful]] throughout the entire episode, his worst offense being caring more about the snowboard being safe than his ''friends'' when Koopa attacked them. Not to mention Toad didn't really care about Santa's HeroicBSOD until Princess Toadstool [[WhatTheHellHero rightfully called him out]] on being a selfish brat.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In the first episode, Bowser orders two mouthless ghosts to lick his feet while he sits on his throne. For no reason.
