Title card.

Status: Partially Found

During the summer of 1990, Club Mario replaced the Mario Bros. live-action segments of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show.

This featured "extreme" Mario-obsessed teenagers Tommy Treehugger and Co M.C. (played by Chris Coombs and Michael Anthony Rawlins) goofing around, and in one episode, running around the DiC studios and harassing DiC executive producer Andy Heyward. Victoria Delany played Tommy's sister Tammy Treehugger. Rawlins also portrayed Co M.C.'s twin brother "Evil Eric". An additional added segment was a one-to-two-minute viewing of Spaced Out Theater, hosted by Princess Centauri, a green alien woman, which was edited from the TV series, Photon.

Although the segments do not have names, here is a list of the cartoon episodes that do have their corresponding Club Mario segment found.

As of October 2016, at least 13 segments were found and posted onto Youtube. The only episode to be released on home media is "The unzappables", replacing "George Washington Slept Here."

The likelihood of more segments resurfacing is slim considering that Club Mario was very much disliked by its target audience.[1]
