Super Mario World is an animated television series based on the video game of the same name by Nintendo. It is the third animated series based on the Mario video game series. Thirteen episodes of the show were aired as part of a block with Captain N: The Game Master, called Captain N and the New Super Mario World, on NBC. The animation was provided by Pacific Rim Productions.
The animated series featured the same voice actors who had performed in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. However, unlike with its two predecessors, Toad is completely absent in this series (as he was absent in the Super Mario World game). An exclusive character not featured in the games called Oogtar, a clumsy caveboy, appears in his place (in which both characters were voiced by John Stocker) and Yoshi appears as one of the main characters in the show. Episodes mainly focused on the Mario Bros. dealing with schemes by King Koopa, and made use of new elements introduced by the video game within the story, though involvement of the "real world" was reduced to mere references for this series. Due to copyright restrictions, no licensed music was required for this show, leaving the show completely untouched for syndication and home media releases. Certain episodes of the series were created to meet the newly implemented guidelines set forth by the Children's Television Act.[2]
Notably, Super Mario World is the only installment in the Mario cartoon trilogy that has been released on home media without any edits to the soundtrack.
Throughout each of the three series, various episodes feature brief, dialogue-free action sequences that have a song playing over them. In the original broadcast versions of the first two series, these were in-house covers of actual popular songs from artists such as Michael Jackson and Milli Vanilli. Due to copyright issues, these songs were later replaced with generic background music in reruns and home video releases.
Unlike its predecessors, however, the songs featured in Super Mario World's action sequences were original tracks that were written exclusively for the series.
In 1992, after finishing its run on NBC, Super Mario World was included as part of the Captain N and the Video Game Masters syndication package by Rysher Entertainment.[7]
Home media
In 1994, Buena Vista Home Video released a VHS tape under their DIC Toon-Time Video label, titled Super Mario Bros. Super Christmas Adventures!, which contained the episode The Night Before Cave Christmas.
In November 2007, Shout! Factory and Vivendi Entertainment released a Complete Series DVD set of Captain N and the New Super Mario World in Region 1, featuring all 13 original, uncut broadcast episodes. The series has also been released in Australia (Region 4) by MRA Entertainment.
NCircle Entertainment (under license from WildBrain) has also released the series in two volumes. They later released the complete series in one set (without Captain N episodes).[8]

In 2006, after British satellite children's channel Pop began airing reruns of the series, the series gained a surge in popularity as being one of the major source materials for YouTube Poops alongside the other DIC Mario cartoons, video game Hotel Mario, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, and multiple games animated by Animation Magic.[10] The show produced multiple internet memes, most notably "Mama Luigi", referencing Luigi's quote in the 1991 episode of the same name.[11]
In 2017, 227 animators collaborated to reanimate "Mama Luigi" in their own styles. Each of the 255 total scenes featured a unique animation style.[12][13][14] It was dedicated to the memories of Canadian actor Tony Rosato, who voiced Luigi, and Canadian actor Harvey Atkin, who voiced King Koopa.[15]
