In Germany, there were 6 volume audio cassettes released by Karussell that contained the cartoon segments from the series.

{{quote2|The bible was written by Bruce and Reed Shelly. Reading it, you could tell that they were still struggling to get a handle on the show. I mean, the core problem was obvious: There are no real characters or stories in a Nintendo game, so how do you turn one into a TV series? [...] There was little indication about the kinds of adventures our heroes would have, and a lot of unanswered questions about how we would incorporate elements of the game. I had no clue how to solve those problem and didn’t see how that show was going to work at all! But DIC had an order for 52 episodes and deadlines were looming. We had to make some decisions fast or fall behind schedule, which would be a disaster. So at the beginning there was a lot of urgency to solve those problems and get on with it.|Perry Martin<ref name="Perry">Brett Homenick (September 11, 2018).

*Bowser is depicted as a reptile rather than a turtle like in the games; he also does not have the ability to [[Fire Breath|shoot fire]] and instead uses his [[Magic Wand|magic wands]] or [[Bowser's Minions|minions]] for long-range attacks.

*Luigi's personality of being scared and cautious was (arguably) first used in ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' Later, this personality appeared in other media, most notably in the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]], ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series, the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', and ''[[The Super Mario Bros.
