Super Mario Bros. Super Show - Koopa Klaus / Santa Claus is Coming to Flatbush

from Advent Calendar House · host Mike Westfall

🎄 Hey, paisanos! Join us as we warp back to 1989 for a double dose of Christmas segments from “The Super Mario Bros. Super Show.” 🎙 Adam Pope joins us to watch Mario and Luigi save Santa in 2 different dimensions: The live-action “Santa Claus is Coming to Flatbush,” featuring Santa losing his “transportation” in Brooklyn; and the animated “Koopa Klaus,” featuring a plot to… freeze the North Pole. **** 💬 Topics & Tangents: Nintendo Power’s preview of “The Super Mario Bros. Super Show.” I didn’t realize till recently the music in the “Back to the Future” Nintendo game is just “The Power of Love” sped up. “King Koopa’s Kool Kartoons,” a live-in-studio spinoff show local to Los Angeles and hosted by King Koopa, performed at one point by Chris Latta, a.k.a. Christopher Collins. Captain Lou Albano’s Wrestling Hotline 1-900 number. We map out where Mario and Luigi lived in Brooklyn. “Stunt Dawgs,” an obscure 1992 cartoon featuring Harvey Atkin playing another character with the same King Koopa voice. “Teeter-totter” vs. “see-saw.” How tall is Mario? Captain Lou was 5-foot-10, though other sources range from 5-foot-1 to 3-foot-8. Preview of Super Nintendo World, coming to Universal theme parks. Finally, I get to talk at length about The Legend of Zelda! Adam’s SequelQuest episode on the Super Mario Bros. movie, featuring a parody of the Super Show theme song. **** 📼 Commercials: Pepsi Nintendo Holiday Game (1989), preserved by Dinosaur Dracula.
