Actually that should say The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

I'd personally say it still is dearly remembered and a fountain of internet memes that never died.

Super Show is considered "forgotten"?

Most people born after the 90s wouldn't know about it and before this trailer, I'd imagine most people would think Nintendo was trying to never acknowledge it

Yeah even though it's from the 80s the show has been available streaming on multiple websites and sold on DVD in major retailers in the past decade. It's a stretch to call it forgotten.

Weren't Mario and Luigi also failing plumbers in Brooklyn in the old SMB movie from 1993? Though they were facing unfair competition, rather than being incompetent.

Weird thing to consider it forgotten. Most fans fondly remember it. Also freely and legally available on many streaming including Youtube and Tubi

It’s less “forgotten” and more “Nintendo doesn’t like acknowledging it.” That’s why this is so surprising. It’s the equivalent of someone finally making a Zelda show and Link goes “Well excuse me Princess!” I thought Nintendo was not willing to discuss it.

Wasn’t SMBSS kind of a rush job? I remember an old website pointing out how they had so many episodes recorded from the TV that had a ton of animation errors (backgrounds missing, characters terribly off model), then compared to the DVD release where a lot of these issues were fixed. So clearly they had to get the episodes on TV as quickly as possible, no matter how unfinished they were.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show is still the first thing I think of when I think of Mario but, then again, we were a Sega household.
To this day, while I have a SNES, a Gamecube, a Gameboy Advance, and a DS, I've never spent any meaningful amount of time playing any Mario game (unless you count that one Game & Watch title where they're making cakes on conveyor belts).

Maybe "forgotten" in general, but not to any lifelong nerd/gamer over the age of 37 or so.
Quote: | While [The Super Mario Bros. Super Show] has attained cult status in the United States due to its amusingly out-of-character portrayals of Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda characters, it has been totally ignored in Nintendo's modern marketing. |
Indeed, those shows have long been one step above Hotel Mario and the Zelda CD-i games in the Nintendo "we'd rather forget this ever existed" anti-pantheon. The thing is, they can't exactly be "out-of-character" when there were no character traits that were even available at the time. When I saw the main trailer for the SMB movie (at a 1-day screening of the Quintessential Quintuplets movie in December '22), I remember thinking, "Now THIS is what we all wanted back in 1993." But for all that flaws of that '93 live-action SMB movie, I have to give it credit for making something out of a whole lot of nothing, in terms of building a world and a complete story within 100 minutes.
