  • The Lost Super Mario TV Show - King Koopa's Kool Kartoons.
    King Koopa's Kool Kartoons was a local, American live-action children's television show broadcast in Southern California during the holiday season of 1989-1990. The show was produced for the Fox television station KTTV - 11 Los Angeles by Gerry Pass - who developed and rolled out the Fox Kids Club - and DIC Animation City, in association with Nintendo. It starred King Koopa, the central arch-villain from the Mario video game series. The 30-minute wrap around program was originally broadcast during late afternoon time slots on Los Angeles-based KTTV Fox 11. It was a spin-off to The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!
    In this episode we explore the history, impact, and eventual fate of this lost Mario TV show.

    I remember this show when I was a kid, and I lived in Douglas Arizona. I even remember Mario (Captain Lou Albano) making a cameo and punking out Koopa. I think at one time, the kids in the audience might have worn plastic turtle shells and had plastic hammers and expressed their love for Koopa and hate for Mario.

    As someone who grew up in So-Cal in the 90s, I could have been exposed to this cool-looking show if I'd been just a couple of years older. It's a shame it never re-aired. Hopefully the episodes will be found someday to be enjoyed by new and old Super Mario fans alike. Great video.

      Same. I think my family lived in Sonoma County when I was born, but moved down to the Mojave around the time I was 4 (either 1990 or 1991). I have very vague memories of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show airing with The Legend of Zelda on Fridays, and The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 back when it was paired with Captain N, but I must've just barely missed the window where I could even know that this show existed.

    You like Super Mario Bros. Super Show? You just earned yourself a new subscriber. I love that show, and surely would have loved King Koopa's Kool Kartoons if I had been one of the kids fortunate enough to have seen it. Heck, I didn't even know the show existed before today. Blew my mind as King Koopa (aka Bowser) has always been my favorite Mario character. Bums me out to learn that he once had his very own show, but because it's lost I'll probably never get to see it. I hate lost media.

    With the Second note I heartedly agree them. And I lived around there too, unfortunately I couldn’t get or own a Nintendo but I did get to see the shows. And for me it felt like being there instead of just playing the games. I feel it’s better to feel emotionally than to be physical. And no I’m not a woman. 🤣

    I thought it was a little lame, like for 4 year Olds when I was a mature 7 year old too advanced for this humor, but still watched it. It was the closest thing to Howdy Doody I'd ever see, with a live child audience. The only thing I really remember is that at one point Koopa was trying to sell some glue in a giant jar he called something like King Koopa Supa Gloopa. I was also quite certain that about 2/3 through the season the actor playing Koopa was replaced, he had a voice change and his face looked different (kind of like when you notice a new actor is playing Ronald McDonald in commercials, something is off and it's not quite as Familiar as it used to be, but harder to tell under all that makeup)

    LOL! It gets me how I never heard of the show until this month on youtube, and many on youtube are going from saying how it was very popular around California in the 90's but go on saying it scared kids and parents hated it. It was popular but no one watched it. HOW IS THAT SO? The clips shows that the show was garbage that shouldn't have seen the light of day. poor costumes, out of dated cartoons, low budget garbage.
