    • Trivia
      The episode "How's Bayou" has two different versions. The original version aired on September 16, 1989 and never again. It had a lot of unfinished/raw animation, different music/dialogue/scenes/etc., and a lot of other little differences. The "finished" version aired all subsequent times. Strangely, the Shout Factory DVD includes the rare, first version, and not the later better-known version.
    • Goofs
      King Hippo is blue-skinned on the show, but has a normal flesh color in the game Punch Out.
    • Quotes

      Mother Brain: It won't be long before I, beautiful goddess that I am, become Queen of Videoland! Ah-ha ha ha ha!

    • Alternate versions
      Three of the episodes were trimmed down to half of their original length and aired as filler material in Super Mario World (1991)

    Not to shabby

    The show was created to sell Nintendo games. Even though it was made for that purpose, it was surprising to see entertainment in it. In other shows made to sell games, the quality and entertainment level is extremely low. So that makes this show refreshing. It's interesting to see various Nintendo characters team up but the disappointment was no team up with Nintendo's best character, Mario. Anyway, I have to say this to NBC. This show came from a time when NBC's Saturday morning line up really didn't suck. NBC should scrap there horrible live teen show line up and bring this show back.
