Tommy Treehugger and Co-M.C. were the hosts,

– two twenty-somethings pretending to be teenagers
who owned a big-screen TV and liked to "satellite surf" between extreme sports clips, and wacky interviews in their radical apartment.


Their "satellite" looked like an upside-down Chinese parasol and whenever they wanted to "satellite surf", they would make a big deal of adjusting it.
[[Tommy Treehugger]] and [[Co M.C.]] hosted '''Club Mario''' presenting [[Super Mario]] Bros. and "Legend of Zelda" cartoons to the audience.Co M.C. was barely on and taking his place was his dastardly brother, [[Evil Eric]] who would always cause trouble for Tommy. It also showed snipits of Photon, which were presented by a green alien woman.


These segments were shot to replace the live-action Mario and Luigi when the show ran into further syndication, It’s likely that they were trying to win over the Saturday morning audience that was, at the time, consumed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and with all-new “hip” hosts. 
This show lasted from 1989 to 1990


The show still opened with a purple holographic screen and Mario's smiling head exclaiming, "Hey, paisanos! It's the Super Mario Bros. Super Show!" But then electric guitars came in with a heavy drum beat, and the camera angles went screwy, at one point, the digitized voice says "M-M-M-M-Mario", but it sounds like he's saying "[[Wario]]".  
The Mario rap intro song was replaced by a different theme, something loud with cheesy lyrics and extreme guitar riffs.


No Captain Lou dance at all, No sign of the famous plumbing shop and basement apartment, the only thing Mario-related on the set was a Mario doll. they could have turned the set into "Club" Anything it was about as generic you can get.
Theme Song


On Fridays, Co-M.C. was replaced by his brother, Evil Eric, who loved to cause mayhem and Tammy Treehugger Tommy's "little" sister, who happened to be over six feet tall) also joined in the hijinx which involved ganging up on Tommy.

Why did they decide to change the classic Super Show opening for this tripe?
Maybe it was an attempt to make Mario & Co more radical and extreme like rival mascot Sonic the Hedgehog. After all, Sonic was specifically designed to be everything Mario wasn't, and Sega's commercials said as much. There was a bitter rivalry between Nintendo and Sega in those days.
