Super Mario World is an Italian-American children's animated television series based on the Japanese video game of the same name by Nintendo. It is the third and most recent animated series based on the Mario video game series, with the other two being The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! and The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, Thirteen episodes of the show were aired, as part of a block with Captain N: The Game Master called Captain N & The New Super Mario World on NBC. Just like The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, the show is produced by DIC Animation City, Nintendo of America, Inc. and Reteitalia, S.p.A., in association with Spanish network Telecinco, who licensed the characters and game to DIC. It was animated by the Chinese animation studio, Pacific Rim Production, Inc.

The animated series featured the same voice actors who had performed in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. However, unlike its two predecessors, to keep in line with the game its based on, Toad is completely absent in this series (he was absent in the Super Mario World game), and Yoshi appears in his place, alongside an exclusive character not featured in the games called Oogtar, a clumsy caveboy. The character designs from the last two cartoons are retained, but with minor details. Episodes mainly focused on the Mario Bros. dealing with schemes by King Koopa, and made use of new elements introduced by the video game within the story, though with involvement of the "real world" reduced to mere references for the series. Due to copyright restrictions, no licensed music were required for this show, leaving the show completely untouched for syndication and home media releases. Certain episodes of the series were created to meet the newly implemented guidelines set forth by the Children’s Television Act.[2]

Legacy

A collaborative scene-for-scene recreation of the episode "Mama Luigi", organized and directed by professional animation and storyboard artist Andrew Dickman, was released on YouTube in August 2017. With 227 animators and artists contributing and participating in the project, the goal was to "re-animate" the episode by giving each animator a scene from the episode which was then animated in any direction the animator chose, so long as it followed the basic formula of the original scene. The project was announced on July 10, 2016, and was dedicated to Tony Rosato and Harvey Atkin, who died during its production.[4]
