Random: Did You Know About The Korean Version Of Super Mario Bros. Super Show?

"super korio"
just let me say something witty NL gosh darn not every comment needs to be an essay

Even Nintendo eventually caved and basically used the old show as their template for the SMB movie. The show was never bad.

Honestly, interesting tidbit. I was rather late to seeing the English version of it myself.
I'm still curious, as iirc, the wikipedia page had listed multiple episodes I could never find, which I would presume were live action. Iirc, one of them was supposed to feature the Ghostbusters cast.

It's just like Power Rangers

In the Korean version, Mario and friends have to cook their own damn yakitori at the restaurant.

I loved the Super Mario Bros. super show. I personally think it’s much better than the Mario movie.

I watched the series this year. The live action segments are really something else.

I would like to watch the korean version with a translation.

The set isn't nearly as good as the U.S. version. Also it's just lacking something without the forced canned laughter.

@shiftbarackyeaugh Unless you're me, in which case every comment needs to be an essay. 😉

Wow, that’s actually surprising. Didn’t know about it.
Still, I started learning Korean, and now this. Seems it would be fun to watch 😉

Always entertaining to see another country's expression of a show, with this being no exception.

I was going to make a snarky comment about it being a slow news day. But THIS is actually something interesting. Why can’t more “Random” articles actually be something worthwhile? I never would have imagined there would be a whole other set of skits for a different language version of the show. That’s really cool.

@Mariotag
Just Ernie Hudson and it was SlimeBusters

Such a great episode!

@Not_Soos
You're slipping, dude ... This comment wasn't an essay!

@Spider-Kev You're right. I've been exposed. This whole time I've secretly been a sham. A fraudster. A charlatan. A con artist. My life, a lie. My reputation, ruined. I'l have to go into hiding. I'll have to conceal my identity with a fake name, like maybe... Not_Not_Soos. 🫣

@Spider-Kev I never could find it. Was it a case of, you had to see it when it aired? Or is there some place it can be viewed?
And I think there was one other.

@Mariotag
I saw it when it originally aired.
I don't think it ever had a repeat.
It is not on either DVD collection.

@Spider-Kev Aww. Shame. Guess best anyone can hope for is it got recorded and uploaded to youtube or something.
Maybe they lost the master?

I doubt it is lost.
I thought I heard something years ago about rights issues, which doesn't make sense as that would fall under parody laws.

Well... Watching this was definitely something else. Mario and Marigi, who still has an L on his cap despite being called Marigi... Well, at least they seemed to be enjoying themselves.

@LavenderShroud If you like random stuff like this, I would greatly urge you to visit Time Extension, if you haven't already. It's a sister site to Nintendo Life, and I personally love the very random nature of pretty much every single item they cover there. However, you do have to like retro stuff.

@Not_Soos Our aim is to give as many people impostor syndrome as possible. Glad to have added another to the roster. Nah man, you can throw in short segments in between your essays. I do the same.

@Mariotag @Spider-Kev It's almost always rights issues, and probably issued by Ernie Hudson.

I remember a similar thing almost happening with a parody soap opera series that was made in Holland, where they portrayed a character from Bold and the Beautiful and ended up having the real actress throw in a cameo.

I thought it was banned from the DVD re-release, but I just looked it up and the family of the late actress apparently allowed them to show it. However, other people asked them not to release their segments on DVD, so a lot of parts were lost on that series as well.
