This single layer cel features ample detail and shading, so this is definitely not a production cel from the series. This is actually the cover for "Butch Mario and The Luigi Kid" VHS. Background is painted on thick art board. Extremely nice and colorful item. Check out the original VHS cover below.
American animated TV series produced by DiC Entertainment. The Super Mario Super Show ran from September 4 to December 1, 1989. The first and last parts of each episode were live action and showed Mario (played by "Captain" Lou Albano) and Luigi (Danny Wells) living in Brooklyn, where they would often be visited by celebrity guest stars. Some of them were popular TV stars, such as Nedra Volz, Norman Fell, Donna Douglas, Eve Plumb, Vanna White, Jim Lange, Danica McKellar, Nicole Eggert, Clare Carey and Brian Bonsall or professional athletes such as Lyle Alzado, Magic Johnson, Roddy Piper and Sgt. Slaughter.
The second part of each episode was a 13-minute cartoon based loosely on the Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2 video games, where Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool (as Peach was called in North America until the release of Yoshi's Safari), and her loyal mushroom retainer Toad battle against the reptilian villain King Koopa, a.k.a. Bowser.
The Super Mario Bros. cartoon was shown on Mondays through Thursdays. On Fridays, the show would air the Legend of Zelda cartoons based on the game of the same name, in which the elf-like hero Link and Princess Zelda fight against the forces of the evil wizard Ganon. Scenes from the episode were shown during the live-action segments on the preceding days as sneak previews.
