Evolution of SUPER MARIO - 42 Years Explained | CARTOON EVOLUTION

CARTOON EVOLUTION #40 / POP CULTURE EVOLUTION #8 - SUPER MARIO
Jumping into our lives in 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong as Jumpman, Mario soon became the mascot of Nintendo and by default the ever-constant figure-head of video games. With a life spanning the rise of the home console, he’s become, not only the most popular video game character ever, but one of the single most recognisable fictional characters of the twentieth century. Having appeared in over 260 video games, half a dozen TV series, a handful of anime, and a much derided live-action movie - Mario now gears up to star in his first 3D animated film, and to celebrate we’ll explore his entire history from creation to now - tracing his evolution over almost 35 years, touching on such voice artists as Charles Martinet and Chris Pratt! In this edition of Cartoon Evolution presents Pop Culture Evolution.
Here's a look at Super Mario over the years.

Yes. There’s a small, obvious slip of the tongue with the date at the beginning. (The fact that I follow up the statement by saying this was a near-hundred years before the inception of Mario should be the giveaway here.) Please enjoy the video I’ve spent three weeks on instead of tearing apart errors.

[@Sean-132]

At least it’s just a small tiny mistake

[@LowellLucasJr.]

Your good man, accidents happen!

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

Never blame yourself for one harmless mistake

[@mayracordero382]

I love the video dave and the super mario bros movie was the most incredible film and I can't wait for the voice evolution of super mario!

[@minionthecrek794]

Nintendo was founded in 1889

[@DanGamingFan2846]

WAHOO! It's finally time to talk about one of, if not the most recognizable pop culture icon in history. He saved the western game industry, and continues to star in groundbreaking titles to this day. The true super star!

[@mayracordero382]

Mario is the best video game hero and the best plumber with his brother luigi!

[@charlespartridge2902]

There’s an error in the beginning where you say Nintendo was founded in 1989. It was founded in 1889.

He also says Mario debuted in 1989 (instead of 1981) a little earlier.

[@ericavila-0252]

Rest in Peace Lou Albano (1933-2009), Danny Wells (1941-2013) who played Luigi, and Bob Hoskins (1942-2014) who cosplayed Mario, we'll never know how they would feel about this new movie, but John Leguizamo (who played 1993 Luigi) says he doesn't want to see it, that's his choice

[@Dremag_Gaming]

Got a feeling Bob Hoskins might not complained as much as john. lol

[@tcwofficalchannel]

What about Dennis hopper?.

[@ericavila-0252]

The Bowser actor? He passed away as well about a decade ago, don't know how he would feel

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ great one of those spam bots.

[@Angie2343]

Agreed.

[@BoyNamedSue4]

Mario truly is the Mickey Mouse of gaming. Been around since basically the beginning and has been so many things to so many different people. Everyone has their ideal Mario and that’s perfectly alright.

[@mightyfilm]

Mario was a very important character to me as a kid, and as such I've loved most of the outside media. Cartoons especially, with my favorites being the Super Show and recent movie, which felt like a childhood dream fulfillment, I can tell you. But I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how unfortunately underrated the Donkey Kong Saturday Supercade was. It was before my time, and unlike his other 3 cartoons, was in copyright limbo and never reran or put on home video. I remember reading about it in a Nintendo Power special magazine. No pictures of the series were shown and it only had a little blurb mentioning it, so there was this amazing mystique about it that followed me for years. Took the advent of KZbin for me (and I'm guessing a lot of you out there) to actually see, and all things considered, it's a fun little cartoon. Even had an episode with Stanley the Bugman from Donkey Kong 3. Probably the first video game character deep dive in outside fiction. Though I was disappointed that in finding Peter "Optimus Prime" Cullen was the voice of Mario, expecting something similar to his Monterey Jack with an Italian or New York accent, only for him to basically do a younger, higher pitched voice, similar what he'd use for Eddie Spencer Jr. in Filmation Ghostbusters. I highly recommend checking out the series on YT. Though, the Donkey Kong Jr. cartoon you can probably skip. It's not terrible, but it's not nearly as good.

[@Noahmediacorner]

I agree

[@mightyfilm]

​@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Bite me, useless bot.

[@StevynAwsomeworld]

Yes MARIO'S EVOLUTION IS FINALLY HERE

[@benmalsky9834]

This may be separate from Mario, but it should be worth mentioning that while Nintendo wouldn’t see their IPs on the big screen until Detective Pikachu, they did have an omnipresence on television with the Kirby animated series Kirby: Right Back at Ya! and most notably the Pokémon anime series which would continuously run for 25 years with a bunch of movie spin-offs. And there was the planned Legend of Zelda and Star Fox series at Netflix before leaks lead to them not getting off the ground.

[@BlueDog241]

Mario RPG and the Paper Mario series have been a favorite of mine. I love turn-based games.

[@minionthecrek794]

Fun Fact: did you know Chris Pratt and Charlie Day voiced by Mario and Luigi in the 2023 film well they also voiced the first ever Lego Movie, Lego partnered WAG Chris voiced by Emmet a construction worker hero of the entire Bricksburg and Charlie Day voiced by Benny a 80’s Spaceman from 2014’s The Lego Movie, and… they got the sequel.

[@abrahamgaming2324]

yeah i know that

[@ericavila-0252]

We know

[@goodsonicfan5016]

Yep, I knew that.

[@Mevans_2001]

I’m SO happy that you finally covered my favourite franchise of all time! And to answer your question at the end of the video, my favourite Mario game is Odyssey, although I think that’s already quite obvious 💀

[@jbsMUWcreations2089]

Wahoo Mario Evolution is finally here!

[@megamix5403]

I was hoping the German Mario comics got a shout-out lol but otherwise, I really appreciate this deep dive into various Mario media, mate. It really puts the time period each game was released into perspective.

[@powerviolentnightmare5026]

Great video. I know the first Mario movie is more or less a meme now but I found it so hilariously bad I actually enjoyed watching it. I can't believe Mario is already 42 years old. It makes me feel old too

[@benmalsky9834]

I can’t help but feel a big sense of sadness that Popeye hasn’t been super relevant lately, when clearly if it wasn’t for him, we would have never have had Superman or Mario. I really hope he can return one day.

[@User-lo6sx]

There were several Mario manga predating Super Mario-kun. Kodansha being one example.

[@elwoodjacobs4353]

I grew up with 3 Mario actors simultaneously when I was young: Lou Albano from the Super Mario Super Show, Charles Martinet in New Super Mario Wii/Mario Kart Wii/Paper Mario Wii, & Bob Hoskins in the live action Mario, & I still love all 3 to this day. Super Show is _atrociously_ written, but you can tell that Lou Albano & Danny Wells are having a lot of fun as Mario & Luigi despite the rotten material, & I've always unironically loved the live action Mario movie, no matter how much hate it gets.

[@mamacass757]

I wish I still had my NES (including the Mario games; "Duck Hunt"; "Dance Aerobics" for the NES & "River City Ransom" ) & some of it's accessories (I had the NES Advantage controller & the regular NES controller; both the Light Gun and the NES Zapper Gun; R.O.B.; NES Satellite & The Power Pad for games like "Stadium Events/ World Class Track Meet" & "Dance Aerobics"). Note: my daughter used to watch both the DiC Mario cartoons (my daughter still "does the Mario" to this day. Ha ha ha) & the DiC Sonic cartoons when she was a kid.

[@markdpane]

In my opinion, the 1993 film was decent, but a big reason why it flopped was because it failed to respect the source material. Something that the new film does a lot better with.

[@am2382]

Keeping up with the theme after the recent Mario movie release, appreciate the informative video Dave.

[@walkerphillips2818]

Wahoo! It’s about time for the princess saving, overall-clad plumber, and mascot of Nintendo to get his evolution covered by the one and only Dave Lee!

[@michaeloluwajuyemi4546]

Mario Brothers 3 was my favorite video game as a kid and still is! I also have the Mario Run app on my phone.

[@spews1973]

I haven't played any video games since Pac-Man in 1983. But I'm always delighted to see a Pop Culture Evolution from Dave Lee. And this one, funnily enough, was no exception.

[@henleydsoucie860]

Cool

[@the3danimationdude770]

Thank you Dave Mario is a big franchise

[@meltaclock]

Very nice video! Didn't know about some of those uses of the old Mario design.

[@benmalsky9834]

I bet not many people know about Archie’s planned Mario comic book series.

[@megamix5403]

You mean the one by Ian Flynn? Was that actually real?

[@thesuperamazingalex810]

Let's hope Dave Lee does more pop culture evolution on other nintendo characters, such as link and kirby.

[@SuperWolsey]

Ah, Legend of Zelda. Plus if possible or considered, it be fitting if that kind of entry on Robin Williams' bday

[@MikeToob]

Was really hoping you would do this!! Love when a really long and informative video about something I'm really into shows up in my feed while I'm in bed. Lol

[@skyden24195]

All-time favorite has to be "Super Mario Bros." At first, I was only able to play the game at the local bowling alley when I was there with my parents for their once-a-week league night. Eventually, my brother, sister and I received the NES, which included the game, for Christmas and I was able to play a lot more. Eventually, while playing into the "wii" hours of the night and into the morning, at (approx.) 2:00am I beat "Super Mario Bros." for the first time. Anyone who accomplished this task back in the day knows the thrill of not having to read, yet again, "Thank you, Mario, but our princess is in another castle." 😄

[@trix48751]

I knew this would happen! I've been so anticipated for this!

[@drevianedwardsproductions9244]

I've known very little of The Super Mario Bros aside from the Mario Karts that I was playing on the Will U, and then when I saw the trailer for the movie from Illumination, I was pretty interested And then on Easter Sunday I went to see it along with my family and I absolutely enjoyed it completely.

Thank you mate!

[@robbiewalker2831]

@@DaveLeeDownUnder I'm glad you're saying "Brothers" when "Bros." is on screen. It bothers me how people say "Bros", when there's a period meant to emphasize the shortening of the word, but not the pronunciation of the original word.

I thought I knew a fair bit about the various Mario TV shows, but as usual you've thoroughly educated me! There were so many more versions and interations than I realized. The ultra-90s redo of the SMBSS live action sequences has so much ~extreme~ 90s energy that my head almost turned into a fruit gusher.

[@thomasmcqueen1958]

Mario is The Another Most Important Video Game Franchise in My Heart and Life Along With Sonic My Favorite Mario Game is The Super Mario Bros 3D Games, Super Mario 3D World, and Spin Offs is The Mario Kart and Party Games, Favorite Mario Series is The Super Mario Bros Super Show and The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3 like Super Mario World But Those 2 are My Most Favorite’s, Favorite Mario Cameo was in The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Wreck-It Ralph, and Favorite Movie is The 2023 one With Universal Pictures, Illumination, and Nintendo The Other ones were Not Interesting to Me but There were Ok But The New one is Better Because is Much More like The Games So Yeah Those are My Favorite Medias about Mario and I Can’t Wait for More Mario Adventures to Come Wahoo Let’s a Go ❤️🍄🪠⭐️🌈

Some of my earliest gaming memories are of Super Mario. I remember playing All-Stars at my cousin's house on their SNES and just being goofy; chasing Power Ups off cliffs or following them into baddies to die or get hit while making silly voices. Super Mario may not usually be my go-to gaming choice, but he's always guaranteed a good time.

28:21 "Swim" is a new ability for Mario? You must've forgot about the underwater levels in the previous "Super Mario" games.

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

Underwater levels in side-scrolling games where he bobs up and down in water is a completely different concept to quite literally diving, swimming, and navigating through water. “Swimming” along with the other abilities I listed were quite literally advertised as new abilities at the time. But I absolutely know someone pedantic enough would try to call this out. You must’ve forgot that if you don’t have anything nice to say, you shouldn’t say anything.

Great job. This one was fun. Marios first "western comic" was not the valiant comics by the way. He first showed up in marvel comics blip issue 1 with donkey kong and pauline in the early 80s. This issue is the first mario comic ever even before the japan manga! It used to go for under $5 but now can go for really high price. It can go for over $100 if it's comic graded! The groo comic artist did marios first story. It has never been reprinted.

If I had to pick my favorite mario games it would have to be Super Mario 64 DS, Mario Kart DS, Both Galaxy Games, and Odyssey. What I appreciate about the Galaxy Games is not so much the camera work but more the cinematography and story. Even though I hadn't seen the Super Mario bros movie yet, I will say that to me while the story won't be bad it won't be up there with the Galaxy and Odyssey games. I'd say the story be up there with Super Mario Brothers world.

You forgot about the "Mr. Video" part of his conception, Wario's debut in "Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins" in 1992, the Mario vs. Donkey Kong spin-offs, and many other spin-offs including sports games and Dr. Mario. P.S., don't forget there was a time when Mario was more recognizable to American children than Mickey Mouse!

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

Nope, didn’t forget anything. “Mr. Video” was just one of many names considered before Miyamoto decided on “JumpMan”. Mario has appeared in over 200 games, there is absolutely no way I can stop to talk about every single one - all three of the spin-off games you mention are pictured throughout the video (please watch the whole thing.)
