00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:01.160
So.

00:00:01.160 --> 00:00:03.360
We've had a look at the Japanese movie,

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:05.260
and an American show.

00:00:05.260 --> 00:00:09.600
Now we shall have a look at
The Adventures of Super Mario Brothers 3

00:00:09.600 --> 00:00:12.920
Now you are probably asking,
what happened to number 2?

00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:15.560
Well, seeing as the Super Show
was heavily based on

00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:17.560
the American Super Mario 2,

00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:19.720
and Super Mario 3 was the

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.380
it only made sense that the
Americans would skip a number.

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.440
It is a legend no one will forget.

00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.000
Everyone thought King Koopa had left
the Mushroom Kingdom

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:33.820
And then

00:00:33.820 --> 00:00:35.660
his Doom Ship attacked!

00:00:35.660 --> 00:00:37.660
King Koopa was back!

00:00:37.660 --> 00:00:39.860
With the greatest danger ever known:

00:00:39.860 --> 00:00:41.860
His Koopa Kids.

00:00:41.860 --> 00:00:45.020
Released in 1990 by DiC Entertainment,

00:00:45.020 --> 00:00:47.520
The Adventures of Super Mario Brothers 3

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.220
is pretty much a sequel
to the other cartoon,

00:00:50.220 --> 00:00:52.420
consisting of only 1 season,

00:00:52.420 --> 00:00:54.420
and is heavily based on the 3rd game

00:00:54.420 --> 00:00:56.880
with its multitude of powerups.

00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.040
Each episode is 10 minutes long

00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:01.760
and opens like in the game
with the curtain,

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:04.720
and has the world map
behind the episode title

00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:08.160
which most of the time
reflects the theme of the episode.

00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:10.220
The story isn't that much different

00:01:10.220 --> 00:01:13.820
in that King Koopa wants to
take over the Mushroom Kingdom,

00:01:13.820 --> 00:01:15.820
but there are differences.

00:01:15.820 --> 00:01:19.820
He now tasks his Koopa Kids
to do some of the evil tasks,

00:01:19.820 --> 00:01:23.500
though his kids also carry out
evil tasks on their own.

00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:27.720
Also, everyone can now come and go
to the real world as they please.

00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:31.600
And with such open warp pipes
anyone can simply stumble in.

00:01:33.940 --> 00:01:36.560
Oh my word.
Where are we?

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.320
This means the Mario brothers
have to defend 2 worlds.

00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:43.060
Koopa also uses a set of magic wands

00:01:43.060 --> 00:01:45.060
to turn people to stone,

00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:46.880
turn them to dogs,

00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:48.880
and change their size.

00:01:49.220 --> 00:01:54.180
Again, no introductory episode
and can be taken in any order.

00:01:54.180 --> 00:01:57.320
And the animation quality
is not much better.

00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:02.300
However, Koopa doesn't change names
or costumes to parody other stories,

00:02:02.300 --> 00:02:05.960
nor do the plumbers perform
any pat-a-cake routines.

00:02:05.960 --> 00:02:08.980
The Koopa Kids all have
their own personalities,

00:02:08.980 --> 00:02:12.220
but the most memorable for me
are Kooky and Kootie.

00:02:12.220 --> 00:02:15.020
The inventor Kooky Ludwig Von Koopa

00:02:15.020 --> 00:02:17.560
creates various devious machines

00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.220
to help King Koopa rule the worlds.

00:02:20.220 --> 00:02:22.520
Things like Time Machines

00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.120
and the most notable Anti-Gravity gun

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:29.100
that can lift entire buildings
and send them through the warp pipe.

00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:32.900
The brat Kootie Pie Wendy O. Koopa

00:02:32.900 --> 00:02:37.380
is the one that may cause
the most trouble for both sides.

00:02:37.380 --> 00:02:40.140
She asks something big from her father,

00:02:40.140 --> 00:02:44.080
and with enough tantrums
her father gets her what she wants.

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.080
But after that plan goes south,

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.160
her father stands up to her
and tells her off.

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:52.960
Carrying over from the
previous Super Mario show

00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.400
and from the American Super Mario 2,

00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:58.520
you got your 4 main protagonists.

00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:03.260
While in Mario 1 and 3
you only play as Mario and Luigi,

00:03:03.260 --> 00:03:06.960
while the Princess is kidnapped
and Toad redirects you,

00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.380
in Mario 2 you can choose to play as

00:03:09.380 --> 00:03:12.320
Mario, Luigi,
the Princess or Toad.

00:03:12.320 --> 00:03:13.620
In these cartoons,

00:03:13.620 --> 00:03:17.560
while it is still mostly Mario
and Luigi who are the heroes,

00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.340
everyone gets a turn at being the hero.

00:03:20.660 --> 00:03:24.280
The Princess does take part
in the action from time to time...

00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.300
Thanks to you, Princess Toadstool,

00:03:26.300 --> 00:03:29.080
you saved every continent
of our real world

00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:30.720
from Koop-tastrofy.

00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:34.440
After all the times you Super Mario
Brothers have saved the Mushroom Kingdom

00:03:34.440 --> 00:03:36.160
it was the least I could do.

00:03:36.160 --> 00:03:38.700
But often she's there
to give good advice

00:03:38.700 --> 00:03:41.500
and help out the brothers
by bringing them powerups.

00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:43.040
Mario!
Head's up!

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:43.920
Got it, Princess!

00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:48.340
In every episode whenever
there is a climatic moment,

00:03:48.340 --> 00:03:50.340
or close enough,

00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:53.860
they make it a musical montage
in one form or another.

00:03:54.160 --> 00:03:56.060
Ninja man!

00:03:56.060 --> 00:03:57.460
Do the Frog

00:03:57.700 --> 00:03:58.080
ribbit

00:03:58.500 --> 00:03:58.840
ribbit

00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:00.580
It's no joke

00:04:00.980 --> 00:04:01.220
croak

00:04:01.420 --> 00:04:01.620
croak

00:04:01.820 --> 00:04:02.000
croak

00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:04.440
I'm a Hurricane

00:04:05.940 --> 00:04:07.400
In their place

00:04:08.220 --> 00:04:09.900
When the goin' gets tough

00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:12.620
Super Plumber don't get stuck

00:04:12.740 --> 00:04:13.420
Doom

00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:17.360
I don't want your fame

00:04:17.780 --> 00:04:19.220
When there's no pain

00:04:19.220 --> 00:04:20.600
You know there is no gain

00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:21.880
Do the Koopa

00:04:21.880 --> 00:04:23.460
Rip the Koopa

00:04:23.460 --> 00:04:24.780
Do the loop de loopa

00:04:24.780 --> 00:04:26.480
Or you'll be a party poopa

00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.200
Twice as shifty

00:04:28.200 --> 00:04:29.940
Two-time swindling

00:04:29.940 --> 00:04:31.100
Twice as nifty

00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:33.100
And man

00:04:33.100 --> 00:04:33.820
It's rough

00:04:33.820 --> 00:04:35.100
It's a dog's life

00:04:35.100 --> 00:04:36.660
And stayin' on course

00:04:36.660 --> 00:04:38.100
Coming on strong

00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:39.480
Gatherin' speed

00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:40.720
I do what I want

00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:42.140
Hour by hour

00:04:42.140 --> 00:04:43.620
A tower of power

00:04:43.620 --> 00:04:45.720
Whenever I'm being a frog

00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:47.920
Never kiss a mermaid

00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:49.020
'Cause if you do

00:04:49.100 --> 00:04:49.440
Doom

00:04:49.700 --> 00:04:49.960
Doom

00:04:50.180 --> 00:04:50.440
Doom

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:50.780
Doom

00:04:52.180 --> 00:04:54.560
Piling up garbage in a great big heap

00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:56.900
Let's give the old gondola a try

00:04:57.380 --> 00:04:58.740
My Karoobi

00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.640
I feel happy

00:05:00.640 --> 00:05:02.400
You feel sad

00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:03.860
I stay cool

00:05:03.860 --> 00:05:05.080
When you get mad

00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:07.520
Caught by the wind

00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:09.660
Tumbling around

00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:14.220
And some sound like they're straight
out of Care Bears or My Little Pony.

00:05:14.220 --> 00:05:17.260
The powerups here
are much like in the game.

00:05:17.260 --> 00:05:21.600
The leaf allows them to fly,
though not needing any running speed,

00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.480
the frog suit
allows them to swim faster,

00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.940
the flower allows them to shoot fire,

00:05:26.940 --> 00:05:29.380
and the star allows
them to take on anything.

00:05:29.380 --> 00:05:32.580
This time around it isn't simply
to bump your head.

00:05:32.580 --> 00:05:36.300
The other powerups
were only shown in the final episode.

00:05:36.300 --> 00:05:40.100
There are a few episodes
that have some good lessons.

00:05:40.100 --> 00:05:42.760
One is where King Koopa teaches his kid

00:05:42.760 --> 00:05:46.320
all the qualities
to following in his footsteps.

00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:47.520
And he does,

00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:50.820
teaching us that if you are
vile and mean to others

00:05:50.820 --> 00:05:55.320
and especially if you teach
these rotten ordeals to others

00:05:55.320 --> 00:05:57.320
you will be swindled yourself.

00:05:57.740 --> 00:06:02.040
Another episode shows a king
treating his servants badly.

00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:05.500
But once turned to a dog
and is treated the same way

00:06:05.500 --> 00:06:08.740
he turns a new leaf
and shows more kindness.

00:06:08.740 --> 00:06:10.520
And there is a very good one

00:06:10.520 --> 00:06:13.700
where the Koopa Kids paint
half the population red

00:06:13.700 --> 00:06:16.040
and half the population blue,

00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.760
then disguise themselves as either side,

00:06:18.760 --> 00:06:21.440
and cause trouble for the opposite side.

00:06:24.620 --> 00:06:26.020
I saw that!

00:06:26.020 --> 00:06:28.020
It was one of those red mushrooms.

00:06:28.020 --> 00:06:31.100
They're always doing
mean stuff like that.

00:06:31.100 --> 00:06:34.200
This causes the 2 sides
to start fighting

00:06:34.200 --> 00:06:36.960
until the Princess
manages to convince them

00:06:36.960 --> 00:06:39.680
that they shouldn't
be separated by color.

00:06:39.880 --> 00:06:42.920
Everyone's learned that it's not a person's color that counts

00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.740
it's the kind of person they are inside.

00:06:45.740 --> 00:06:48.640
Think they'll ever learn
that lesson in the real world?

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.220
Yeah, when humans get
as smart as mushrooms.

00:06:52.780 --> 00:06:56.000
Ok, that last part spoiled it for me...

00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:00.780
If people are to treat each other
kindly no matter color or beliefs,

00:07:00.780 --> 00:07:02.180
they should become...

00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:03.540
vegetables?

00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:07.400
I mean I treat people as people,
therefore I should

00:07:07.400 --> 00:07:07.450
I mean I treat **ople as people,

00:07:07.450 --> 00:07:07.500

00:07:10.960 --> 00:07:13.740
Let's have a look at
Super Mario World next...
