The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 was the second Mario television cartoon produced by DiC Entertainment, and was based off of Super Mario Bros. 3. An apparent continuation of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, this series served as a bit of a turning point for the DiC version of Mario.
Unlike the Super Show, which was broadcasted five days a week in syndication, TAoSMB3 was aired on Saturday mornings on NBC, alongside Captain N: The Game Master. The two shows actually aired in a one-hour package entitled Captain N & the Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, which consisted of a half-hour episode of Captain N sandwiched between two fifteen minute Mario episodes. The two shows were then split up for later airings.
While the Super Show mainly dealt with Mario and Luigi helping Princess Peach Toadstool and Toad trying to stop King Bowser Koopa from taking over the Mushroom Kingdom and other lands, The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 took place some time later, after the events of the game, when the Mushroom Kingdom was in a more peaceful state.
As it was based off of SMB3, the feel of the Mushroom Kingdom changed to better resemble the game. The various worlds of SMB3 were visited regularly, and new Power-Ups such as Super Leaves and Frog Suits appeared. King Koopa also changed his army, losing Wart's minions, but gaining more of his own, including Boom Booms, Boomerang Bros., Sledge Bros., Dry Bones, and many more.
One notable addition to the cast was Bowser's seven Koopalings, who were given alternate names for the show. Although DiC has never properly explained why different names were issued for the Koopalings, many fans assume that it was due to the fact that the Koopalings hadn't been named by Nintendo of America when the show began production. Because they needed names for the characters, the writers would have had to make up names of their own.
Opening Narration
It is a legend no one will forget.
Everyone thought King Koopa had left the Mushroom Kingdom.
And then... his Doomship attacked!
King Koopa was back!
With the greatest danger ever known...
His Koopa Kids!
Using their new super powers,
The Super Mario Bros. rescued Princess Toadstool,
And beat back the evil Koopa family.
Bowser: I'LL GET THOSE PLUMBERS!
