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.
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!
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
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.
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 TH-cam 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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 ❤️🍄🪠⭐️🌈
Here's to a great Evolution of our Favorite Plumber & Video game ascot loved the whole world over! Thank you Dave for making this video the greatest yet!❤
@@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 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.
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!
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.
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." 😄
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 💀
This is the best super mario cartoon evolution and charles was wonderful as mario for these years and my favorite game was super mario galaxy and I've seen the super mario bros movie from nintendo and illumination and it's the best movie of mario so thank you dave plus I can't wait to see the voice evolution of mario!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I still have two of the Valiant Comics compilations, namely "Battle Against Bowser" and "Meet the Koopa Kids." My Gramma bought them for me at our local Gabriel Brothers way back in '91. I used to have more, but they've been long since lost.
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.
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.
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.
Dave thanks for making the mario evolution. But its the preview cartoons for this month is tomorrow or you haven’t start yet. I can’t wait see ada twist scientist season 4 coming April 22nd😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
I have not started it yet, I have literally only just finished this video. Please give me time. There’s only so many hours in the day and I also need time for a personal life. It will not be tomorrow. Please stop asking. It will be up when it is up.
Show a little respect.... That guy playing the live action King Koopa is not just "Some Guy in a suit" He is the late great Christopher Charles Collins. Who did the iconic voice of Cobra Commander AND Starscream
I think another interesting evolution to investigate is the history of Dick Dastardly and Muttley. Considering the duo are probably some of the most iconic cartoon villains, It would be cool to see where they came from.
Well, I was worried about your cartoon evolution videos Dave, but I see that they still around... and just a question, is this one last month (march) cartoon evolution video or this month video (april)?
At no point has Cartoon Evolution ever gone anywhere. Last month’s Cartoon Evolution was the Oscars video, Mario is April’s. I’m constantly updating progress on the Community Board and on my social channels.
I meant to comment sooner. Finally you talked about gaming's biggest mascot Mario. I've been a fan of him since I was 8 I'm 30. Super Mario Wonder is my favorite 2D Mario. The 2D series sure has changed since the start. Super Mario Wonder changed 2D Mario plaforming for good. 2D Mario was getting stale from the New Super Mario Bros series not my words. Mario's new design in Wonder and the remake of Mario VS. Donkey kong is probably the best he's looked other than Odyssey. I hope you do include the remake of Mario VS. Donkey Kong of you do another video and include more of Wonder and the remake of Paper Mario And The Thousand Year Door. I like Mario looking cartoony/plasticky and with some realism. Odyssey was his best look to date. Mario looks more human than before in Odyssey. With Mario looking a bit more human in Odyssey brings uncanny valley. Mario saved the gaming industry. That is one reason he's the most important fictional character to me. Mario means so much to me. I treasure Mario especially since he saved the gaming industry. He continues to change gaming as a whole. Mario is my favorite frahchise ever. As you can see I'm a Mario nerd. I'll stop now before I keep going.
My favorite Mario game is Paper Mario: The Origami King, and Super Mario Sunshine. My favorite Mario show is Super Mario Brothers 3, and my favorite Mario movie is, Super Mario Brothers, The Great Mission To Save Princess Peach! Also great video, one of my favorites, After Evolution of Garfield, Evolution of Droopy, Voice evolution of Snoopy, and Evolution of Daffy Duck.
14:52-14:54 Ummmm… Luigi appeared in the last video of the Mario Amada Anime Series at the end. He even appeared at the end of the Mario Amada Anime Series segment.
This Super Mario Evolution was Dope 🔥‼️ My 1st super Mario game I ever played was Mario 64 Bk in 1999 since then I fell in love with super Mario with all of the games like Mario Kart, Mario party and the underrated Baseball Game Mario Superstar baseball Movie is still breaking records to this day with the Song that has everyone stuck in their head Peaches Peaches lol! I’m proud to be a Nintendo Gamer ❤️
I'm not going to lie, though I enjoy the Mario Brothers games, my absolute favorite will always be Bowser! How I love that giant Turtle, Dragon, Dinosaur! May he, one day, winn the princess! 🎶PEACHES!! 🎶❤❤❤
Some TH-camrs have been calling the Live Action Mario Movie "the 1st" and the Anime as coming out after. However Ive always considered your time line to be correct This is the FIRST time I've ever heard of the Fire saft short or the OVAs disappointing considering I follow a Lost Media TH-camr and many Mario fans. ]Also no shout out to the CD Rom games and the educational stuff
Mario in saturday supercade was voiced by optimus prime himself peter cullen who gave mario an american voice. Donkey kong was voiced by old kids host soupy sales! It also had mario teaming up with Stanly from donkey kong 3. A rare team up between the two!
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!
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.)
Some gameplay videos are super wrong, like the SMB3 one. That's the SNES remake. Also the Nintendo 64 had 2 launch titles: Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64, in america at least. Still, good video.

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.
At least it’s just a small tiny mistake
Your good man, accidents happen!
Never blame yourself for one harmless mistake
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!
Nintendo was founded in 1889
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.

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

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

Yes MARIO'S EVOLUTION IS FINALLY HERE
Mario RPG and the Paper Mario series have been a favorite of mine. I love turn-based games.
This was a great evolution Dave thanks for this the wait was worth it
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").

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.

Ah, Legend of Zelda. Plus if possible or considered, it be fitting if that kind of entry on Robin Williams' bday
You finally made an evolution of mario
Definitely one of my favorite videos, along with Sonic's Evolution! Thank you, Dave
Thank you, Filipa!!
There were several Mario manga predating Super Mario-kun. Kodansha being one example.
I love it! Just what we wanted. Even the The Super Mario Bros Movie (2023). Thank u

yeah i know that
We know
Yep, I knew that.
We know
I like how you made a good intro on this!
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.

I bet not many people know about Archie’s planned Mario comic book series.
You mean the one by Ian Flynn? Was that actually real?
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.
Now That's a Awesome Super Mario Evolution, Wahoo!😄💙❤👍
I was waiting for this one for a long time.
I can’t wait to see this movie!
IT'S-A-WEEGEE-TIME!
I'm a huge Mario fan, but I prefer Luigi. Awesome video
Mario O Mario my favorite video man he is the best mascot in video game history
I now to man I know
Let's-a-go! Now all that's left is Pikachu (and possibly Ash Ketchum) to get their own episode of cartoon evolution.
Right timing for this documentary, you obviously knew the Mario movie was coming.
I still have two of the Valiant Comics compilations, namely "Battle Against Bowser" and "Meet the Koopa Kids." My Gramma bought them for me at our local Gabriel Brothers way back in '91. I used to have more, but they've been long since lost.
Looking Forward To Your Simpsons Video BTW given I've known the history of that franchise for decades by this point
Mario went a very long way.
As Mario would say... LETS A GOOO!!
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.

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

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.

My favorite Mario show is Super Mario Brothers 3, and my favorite Mario movie is, Super Mario Brothers, The Great Mission To Save Princess Peach! Also great video, one of my favorites, After Evolution of Garfield, Evolution of Droopy, Voice evolution of Snoopy, and Evolution of Daffy Duck.
yes! this is where we all wanted so
Love your work! Very informative!
14:52-14:54 Ummmm… Luigi appeared in the last video of the Mario Amada Anime Series at the end. He even appeared at the end of the Mario Amada Anime Series segment.
Ummmm… cameo does not = starred in
Can you do the evaluation of Thomas and friends along with Garfield and Snow White
22:51 "Adventures of The Super Mario Bros. Special Swimsuit Issue !" ???
12:14 what did he said ?!?!?!
I would expect that you have cartoon analyses on Luigi, Toad, Peach, DK, and even Bowser in the next couple weeks… right? 🙂
Cool I knew you were going to do an evolution on Mario
Oh yeah! Mario time !
Great video, so many things I didn’t know about Mario..
One of my favorite games was the Wario one for the gameboy
This Super Mario Evolution was Dope 🔥‼️ My 1st super Mario game I ever played was Mario 64 Bk in 1999 since then I fell in love with super Mario with all of the games like Mario Kart, Mario party and the underrated Baseball Game Mario Superstar baseball Movie is still breaking records to this day with the Song that has everyone stuck in their head Peaches Peaches lol! I’m proud to be a Nintendo Gamer ❤️
I'm not going to lie, though I enjoy the Mario Brothers games, my absolute favorite will always be Bowser! How I love that giant Turtle, Dragon, Dinosaur! May he, one day, winn the princess! 🎶PEACHES!! 🎶❤❤❤
I saw the Super Mario Bros movie today and it was fantastic!
Some TH-camrs have been calling the Live Action Mario Movie "the 1st" and the Anime as coming out after. However Ive always considered your time line to be correct
This is the FIRST time I've ever heard of the Fire saft short or the OVAs disappointing considering I follow a Lost Media TH-camr and many Mario fans.
]Also no shout out to the CD Rom games and the educational stuff
As a little girl in 1989, I had a giant Mario and Luigi stuffed dolls that I won at the fair.
Yep, Mario really has come a loooong way. Literally!
Mario in saturday supercade was voiced by optimus prime himself peter cullen who gave mario an american voice. Donkey kong was voiced by old kids host soupy sales! It also had mario teaming up with Stanly from donkey kong 3. A rare team up between the two!
I'm not a Mario fan. To me, without the movie recognition, Sonic the Hedgehog is the true star of the cartoon world.
Mario came first and is more popular, so it automatically makes him better
Yep!
Me my brothers and cousins used to play Mario Kart DS when ever they visited. It was always fun.
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!
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.)
Long Live Mario!
Amen
LETS A GOOOO!
Love the 93 live action movie and the New Movie also
Some gameplay videos are super wrong, like the SMB3 one. That's the SNES remake. Also the Nintendo 64 had 2 launch titles: Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64, in america at least. Still, good video.
I can only use what videos I have at my disposal.
@@DaveLeeDownUnder Why don't use playthrough from youtube and give credit?
Great vid
5:26- Nintendo made Mario to compensate for a Popeye game and due to their popularity, they ended making one- funny how life works out.
Let's a go
Correction: Jumpman was a Unofficial name for Mario, Mario was always his name.
