Reviewing a couple Halloween themed episodes of the Super Mario Super Show! Bowser turns into a vampire and wants Peach's blood in Count Koopula. Then, in Slimebusters, we learn Ernie Hudson is a Ghostbuster in real life and has to bust Luigi.

@AT Productions What did I just say?

[@Kitnighty]

The Slime(/"Ghost") Luigi is yet another thing that's funny in hindsight, because in the 3DS re-release of Luigi's Mansion they added a two-player mode where one person is Luigi, and the other player is... a green, slimey Luigi doppelganger called "Gooigi"!

[@Ratciclefan]

Googy.

[@DarkMProductions]

Ernie Hudson loves being a Ghost Buster so much, he agreed to be on this show. That man is an amazing human being.

[@matane2465]

Of course he loved being a ghostbuster. He auditioned for the Real Ghostbusters.

[@jimhjortsberg2990]

Many of the guests on this show came because they had kids who loved mario and wanted to indulge them

2:06 You know seeing Halloweenie only reminds me how much i really want a new halloweenie special.😩

Damn shame the Halloweenie videos never got many views on KZbin so that we could get more episodes. Now we'll never see a video of him reviewing more orange stuff.

The joke just wore thin. If Phelous wants to bring back Halloweenie some day, he may want to change it up.

[@thomasjenkins7506]

@@ExplorerDS6789 yeah, as much as it pains me to say, full length episodes with him just aren't a good idea anymore. it would still be nice to see him here and there once in a while.

"They never call him Bowser." Aaaccctualllly....he calls himself "Bowser Koopa" in one episode of the Mario 3 cartoon.

Occasionally, they do refer to him as Bowser when addressing his full name

[@fenrir-art4742]

At least Vincent Price was not narrating.

[@1Hol1Tiger]

Michael Jackson Covers appeared a lot during the Super Show... There's one episode where Mario and Bowser sword fight, with Mario becoming Fire Mario (by touching a Star... weird)... and announcing "I'M BAD!" just before the fight begins... and then a horrible cover of "Bad" plays during the battle

[@LaNoLaCola]

FENRIR-ART if the cover had the Vincent Price speech in it, it might have been done by Maurice LaMarche

[@BATCHARRO]

[@explosivooo]

Funny enough Count Koopula was like one of the few episodes my local Blockbuster had, we didn't have cable, so this was an even bigger nostalgia trip for me than usual. Thanks Phelan

[@wstine79]

Perhaps this was the inspiration for the video game Luigi's Mansion.

[@shaneattwell2222]

They tell Dracula: the Super Mario edition and don't call the villain Drakoopa?

[@marplatense31]

Well of course Bowser couldn't enter the room Peach was in. Vampires need to ask permission to enter a place. Lol.

[@scottgaultney]

But it's Bowser's house. I'm pretty sure that rule doesn't apply to the vampire's own house.

[@rickpgriffin]

"..which has nothing to do with Halloween, so here's the gist" If you add in that scene where Link throws a bomb under his shield and flies into the forest you've summed up all 13 episodes right there

[@avremirine8986]

The whole vampires eating spaghetti sauce thing reminds me of a German cartoon called Die Ketchup-Vampires. Where there's a group of good vampires who only eat tomato based foods.

[@Tareltonlives]

[@1Hol1Tiger]

It doesn't, but it's a reference to a plan by KZbin to put forth rules that were so strict NO videos at all would cut it. The opening to Videogame Dunkey's GTA IV video spoofs these rules by showing the list of things they wouldn't allow Dunkey to do with him agreeing he won't do them.... (Cuss Words and Copyrighted Content being the big ones)... only to show Spongebob in GTA IV getting cussed out by Niko's Cousin

[@masterseal0418]

Ernie Hudson in Super Mario Bros Super Show is better than Ghostbusters 2016. Bite me.

[@IMakePeopleSaltyApparently]

King Koopa was his name back then I believe. Similar to how Peach was Just Princess Toadstool until they have her a first name.

[@carljackson1831]

I live in Pennsylvania, can confirm it is scary, especially the potholes. xD

[@SwiftNimblefoot]

Hey Phelous, the german company Pidax released the whole show on 4 volumes (8 DVDs, and yes it has english audio) with the live action scenes uncut: www.pidax-film.de/Animation/Die-Super-Mario-Bros-Super-Show-Gesamtedition::1237.html - Also, they have some super rare stuff released that previously never saw full DVD release, like the Dreamstone, Mummies Alive and Roswell Conspiracies.

[@LittleBlueTrain67]

As goofy as these cartoons could get, I still love them. It honestly fits the Mario series.

[@TailsFan92]

I was SO happy to see Halloweenie and Pumpkinweenie again! You should really put them in more videos!
