Club Mario (partially lost live-action segments of "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show" animated TV series; 1990)
Title card.
Status: Partially Lost
Club Mario, which started airing on May 14th, 1990,[1] temporarily replaced the live-action episodes 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.

Availability
As of October 2016, at least 13 episodes were found and posted on YouTube. The only known episode to be released on home media is "The Unzappables," replacing "George Washington Slept Here."
Club Mario was very much disliked by its target audience.[2] The master tapes for the segments were also reportedly wiped by DiC Entertainment, all except for "The Unzappables".
In 2022, The Youtube channel RabbitFilmMakerTV uploaded twenty-three Club Mario episodes onto their channel.[3]
