It ran from 1990-1991 and aired at about 4.30 PM every weeknight. The presenter, John Lenahan, was a look a-like of [[Mario]] (and dressed in his clothes). Two guest [[player]]s would have to do tasks all of which involved playing the Nintendo video games such as ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and then later after its release in 1991 ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

Each night, the show had two guest players, who would have to play various games from the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], such as ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The two players would compete to see who could get more [[Coin]]s in a level, or who could finish the level in the faster time.


Rounds included which player could complete a level in the fastest time and who collect the most [[Gold Coin]]s on a certain level. The show was dropped in 1991, quite a while before The Children's Channel rebranding to TCC, this is evident in Link Anchor Man receiving several letters asking if the show would be repeated, which it never was.
