Saturday Supercade (Donkey Kong) How Much Is That Gorilla In The Window

@@thelegendarymarioman8461 The voice of Mario for this cartoon was Peter Cullen, who would go on a few years later to voice Optimus Prime, as well as Eddie from Filmation Ghostbusters (which is similar to his Mario voice here), Murkey Dismal from Rainbow Brite, Coran in Voltron among many others.

It's still funny to think that Mario and Pauline still used their official names back then.

This show is actually how Pauline got her name. Before that she was just called Lady

[@user-nx7fr3qp3v]

Back when I was 10 I thought Pauline was Peach.

[@Davethe3rd]

It's funny that Mario has his proper color scheme here, red shirt, blue overalls, but from the Super Mario Bros Super Show onward, he has a blue shirt and red pants...

[@Shorai_3]

They both were proper. Only, here, the colors aren't accurate to the source game.

[@traeyboy529]

They were both the proper palettes for Mario. Likely because they had already decided on the colour scheme, they went with this instead of the original palette from the arcade game.

I still find it crazy that this Mario, the first Mario in the West to be given a voice, is voiced by the same guy who voices Optimus Prime in most media (Hi name is Peter Cullen if you weren't aware, he's also voiced a variety of other characters like Eeyore and the Predator but Prime is by far his most well known)

[@DreamDancer82]

No matter how many times I see this show, I still have trouble wrapping my brain around the fact that the voice of Donkey Kong was Soupy Sales. Also interesting to note that the voice of the character Brian in this episode was Dick Beals, best known as the voice of Speedy in the old Alka Seltzer commercials.

[@gshaunm]

DreamDancer82 you are actually the first person to notice that fact. Or at least post about. My grandmother pointed out that Soupy is voicing DK as he is from Huntington, WV and we lived there at that time. She knew him a long time ago.

When I hear somebody complaining about Chris Pratt I'm quick to mention Optimus Prime's portrayal. At least Pratt's trying to put on a Brooklyn accent. Here, it's just the politest, most vanilla thing ever.
