Production[]
After the release of The Super Mario Bros Movie, reports emerged that a New Mario TV Series based on the film would be released, production of the project went underway in 2019 with Dan Fogel and John Mulaney attached to voice Mario & Luigi respectively. However it was cancelled despite being officially announced after the release of the movie.
Despite this however, Nintendo wanted a new Mario TV Series to strengthen the brand and sales for the IP. On March 10th 2021, a press release was revealed that unveiled that The Super Mario Show would premier on Netflix with Teen Titans Go! creators Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic serving series directors. Charles Martient who voices Mario and Luigi in the Mario games, responded to a tweet on Twitter that he wouldn't be reprising the role in the Netflix series and would be recasted for undisclosed reasons.
Horvath and Jelenic wanted the series to be seen as the “definitive adaption” in terms of both tone and how to adapt the series games into Episodes in a similar vein to Batman The Animated Series or the 2012 incarnation of the Ninja Turtles.
Jelenic and Horvath while writing on the show wanted their work on the series to be the opposite of the "irreverent" Teen Titans Go!, aiming to develop a faithful adaptation of the games, which they both felt had not been done before, as well as something "more emotional" than Teen Titans Go!. "When people probably first heard our names attached to the series, they expected we'd do the Teen Titans Go! treatment to Mario," said Jelenic. "But every project we come to, we make new choices depending on who the audience is and what we're going for." Horvath asserted that Nintendo involved themselves with every aspect of the production, "from story to visual development to the animation.”
They also wanted to reflect how gamers win in the games by not giving up in spite of making mistakes, turning that into a character trait for the show’s portrayal of Mario. The duo decided to refrain from Peach being captured as a major plot point for most episodes saying it was “too straightforward” and instead drew inspiration from Super Mario 3D World and its portrayal of Peach as a playable character.
Animation wise, the show took heavy cues and inspiration from the official 2D Mario art, the Super Mario Adventures Comics and the official Artwork for the Mario & Luigi Series as they were seen as the most expression form of Mario Media. Originally, the series was planned to use CGI akin to most 3D Mario renders and games, but was ultimately cut due to budgetary and creative concerns.
Release[]
The first part of season 1 premiered worldwide on the 13th of September 2021 with 13 Episodes with the second part airing on December 8th 2021 with an additional 13 Episodes. The second season was released on October 5, 2022 with 13 Episodes with an additional 13 Episodes releasing on December 21st 2022.

Marketing[]
The TV show was announced in Nintendo’s E3 Presentation with a Teaser. The Teaser started with a shot of the Mushroom Kingdom in the Sunrise, It then shifts to Mario & Luigi from the behind exiting out of a Pipe. Mario then climbs up to the surface and sees the Mushroom Kingdom saying his iconic line Let’sa Go!, said by a much deeper voice from the original line, Ending the teaser with a Fall 2021 release date. Many people speculated that this teaser was a new Mario Game, but it was clarified it wasn’t a new Mario game and was said to be “a new way to see Mario & Friends” confirming it was a show/multi media product of some kind. Nintendo also inferred that more info of the TV Show would come out very soon.
In August, Concept Art Leaked of the show, leaking the name as “The Super Mario Show”. 6 Concept Art Pieces were shown, the first one being Yoshi’s Island, showing Mario & Luigi, the second one being a shot of Airships in the sky, the 3rd one being a shot of the market place of the mushroom kingdom, the 4th being a shot of Bob-omb Battlefield, the 5th being a shot of Bowser’s Castle and the final one being a character sheet of Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Captain Toad & Bowser. Many people praised the fact that it was taking cues from the official 2D Mario Art. Along with the concept art also leaked a pitch styled as a premise for the show.
“The Super Mario Show follows Mario, a charming, Heroic yet chubby and sometimes cocky Plumber who learns to be a True Hero in time, it also follows Luigi, Mario’s Younger yet more timid Brother. Together they’ll travel across the weird yet wonderful Mushroom Kingdom and will come across a few new allies including Princess Peach, the Young, Spirited yet touchy ruler of this land who secretly has a crush on the plucky plumber. Yoshi, their pet Best Friend who wants to follow in their father's footsteps. Toad, Peach’s best friend who provides levity in a tough situation, Captain Toad, The Arrogant leader of the Toad Brigade who is the brother of Toad, Toadette, the hyperactive girlfriend of Captain Toad and Toadsworth, Peach’s overprotective adoptive father. Meanwhile in another castle lives an evil Turtle (or Koopa), Bowser, a strong yet childish King ,who tries to come up with schemes to rule the Mushroom Kingdom and marry Princess Peach. Along with more wackier and unforgettable friends and foes, The Super Mario Show will be a remarkable series mixed with high-octane action sequences and laugh out loud comedy, this series will serve as tribute to lovely Red & Blue Plumber”
In the middle of August, a cast reveal and trailer dropped on Nintendo’s social media, revealing the Voice talents of Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Toadette, Captain Toad, Toadsworth, Yoshi, Wario, Waluigi, Bowser & Bowser Jr and stated more will come, also officially revealing the name as The Super Mario Show.
