"SUPER" MAN: The Ninitendo video-game craze taks on new life this
fall in a live-action/animated series based upon the
Super Mario Bros. best-selling tapes. The series,
"The Super Mario Bros. Super Show", will air daily
on at least 104 stations with Fridays turned over
to Nintendo's similary big-ticket "The Legend of
Zelda". Capt Lou Albano, the bizarre wrestling
manager, has been cast to play Mario, one of the two
Brooklyn plumber brothers. Thursday, in anticipation
of a big announcement bash, Albano will appear on
"Live With Regis & Kathie Lee" to shed his beard.
My goodness...what next? Perhaps:
Cyndi Lauper as Princess Toad Stool?
Danny Devito as Luigi?
Rodney Dangerfield as the Mushroom King?
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan as the Coopa King?

What's next, you ask? How about the Nintendo Cereal System! Two
cereals packed into one box.

Yes, and they taste like "trix". One package contains shapes
from SMB and the other shapes from Zelda. Back of box has cards
to cut out and trade.

GAME PLAYING:
The Nintendo crase comes to TV this fall with NBC's "Captain
N: The Game Master" and a syndicated show, "The Super Mario Bros
Super Show", both from the DIC animation factory. DIC president
Andrew Hayward says he spent a year convincing the toy company to
license rights to the addicive characters.
Capt. Lou Albano plays super-plumber Mario in the syndicated show
which wraps live action around cartoon adventures. Steve Binder
(Pee-wee's Playhouse) directed the live bits, including camp cameos
by Vanna White, Elvira and baseketball's Magic Johnson. Rock'n
Roll songs have been licensed and will be woven into each episode.
Haward says a music video of the "Mario Dance" will premiere within
the next few weeks.
The Christmas buildup begins...!
"...Sorry kids, but the TV no longer gets that channel!"
