Summary
Is there any more consistently enduring 80s icon than Mario, the mascot of Nintendo's platforming games? Well, whether you agree with that or not, Mario Bros Mania was indeed everywhere by the end of that decade and this cartoon was the ultimate proof of that. A wild mix of live action segments and goofball cartoons putting the plumbers and company into every story the writers could think of, this was arguably the high-water mark for adaptations of video game properties for a long while. Faint praise, but seriously, this is far from the worst thing on TV in 1989!
