King Koopa's Kool Kartoons
King Koopa's Kool Kartoons was a live-action show made by DIC Entertainment like The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! but featured King Koopa instead. It was featured in a telovision slot after The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, but was aired only in certain parts of the world, including California, Los Angeles, and the UK. King Koopa gave out gift certificates and NES related gear, and often read fan mail. He often had kids on the show as his "King Koopa's Troopas", and sometimes featured quizzes that kids could mail their answers to. King Koopa also showed old, free domain cartoons from the 1920's and 1930's, which (of course) has nothing to do with Mario. The show only aired for the holiday season of 1989/1990. In the same year, it was nominated for a daytime Emmy. Koopa Troopa costumes consisted of Koopa Hats and white shirts that say "Koopa's Kartoons" and have a turtle shell on the back. The King also had a pet, who resembled a dog mixed with a weasel that had the ears of a bat.

I'm the pain who plays the game
And knocks you for a loopa.
