Super Mario Bros at the Ice Capades (1988)

[Explorer4Truth]

Wow. What a wonderful time. I was born in 83 and growing up with the atari, nes, snes, n64 was such a great time. A magical time. You didn't have to deal with hdtv's and all this other stuff.

[Goatmon]

@Explorer4Truth Yes.... oh no, the horror of HDTVs... o_O

[Explorer4Truth]

@Goatmon I like hdtv. I just meant it was more simpler back then. People weren't having to go all out.

[Johnlindsey289]

@Explorer4Truth

I know what you mean, i'm an 80s/early 90s kid and mid-late 90s teen myself who grew up being a gamer, i played my brother's Atari when i was 4 and played arcade games. I got my NES the year this came out for my 7th birthday with SMB/Duckhunt and Zelda and also got SMB 2 and Zelda 2 for christmas. I own NES, SNES, Genesis, Playstation, N64 and so on, you a Mario fan too?

[Explorer4Truth]

@Johnlindsey289 yeah I'm a Mario fan. Donkey Kong too. Konkey Kong Country on the snes is great. Another classic I love is Earthbound.

[natethefighter]

Jason Bateman explaining Super Mario Bros. is either awesome or horrible. I can't decide.

[CyberGW15]

The Official Nintendo Magazine Podcast sent me here from my question!

I can't believe how cheesy it is! It is quite funny though!

The ONM Team were definetly right about Peach!

"I love a guy in uniform!" LOL!

[Nickdreadskull]

@CyberGW15 CYBER GARETH WILLIAMS!

[ferretyluv]

Computer viruses in the 80s released the evil stored up in them? That's fucking hardcore.

[LucoLuchi]

The show aired in november 1988?

[P64Camps]

lol wut

[Minakou1]

Peach sounds like Fran Drescher minus the famously annoying laugh.

[candiikillz]

This would freak me out if I was a kid

[Stickstar]

did luigi just use a fucking flame bazooka

holy shit

[notgcerda88]

I swear, if he says dastardly one more time...

[princessofmetalss]

i had that game! :D

[philofbeer]

If kid me could have shot the Hammer Brothers with a...what is that, a flame thrower? ...it would have saved me so much frustration. Hell, even in some of the newer games, I could use a weapon like that against those bastards.

[pokedudeavenger]

Oh no Bowser's killed the COMPUTER!!!!!

Oh, and Goombas aren't called Koopa Troopas...

[AmericanEvita]

Ok, final word on this. Anyone complaining about this is either a 2010 kid or teen or even if you grew up in the 80's with the original Nintendo Mario Bros, you prefer to forget & are embarrassed. I'm 30 and love this, it brings back great memories of my 80's childhood when I played Nintendo. Only 80's people like me know who Jason Bateman & Alyssa Milano are. Bateman was an actor (brother to Justine Bateman on Family Ties) Alyssa was on Who's the Boss. And Mr Belvedere is King Koopa! Love this!

[wolphintv]

You know, with it's awkward pre-recorded/scripted dialogue, horrible off-model character costumes, and completely nonsensical plot, this is fairly typical of this kind of Ice Capades act. I'm glad to have this little oddity preserved.

Those poor kids at around the 5:30 mark are absolutely thinking, "Which of our parents made us do this?"

[AmericanEvita]

@wolphintv That's not that kind of look. At 5:30, the girls are just relaxed, one picks up a prop wrench. Not all kids jump up and down and show excitement. When I was a kid I was quiet and shy, and never showed my emotions. They aren't bored, they are just being calm. The excited kids are all in the audience. The camera shows a lot of their happy faces.

[izlude2]

KOOPA TROOPA! ATTACK THE MAMMORIES!!!

[cwchrisweed]

That's not how... anything works, actually.

[NecroVMX]

This is 400 times worse than the SMB movie

[FreddyLopez321]

I ilike these the actul super mario bros. like there voices at least are better then the cartoons and having a fire gun and shit xD

[TBTabby]

1:40

"Goombas...zip yer prockies?" What?!

[SuperMarioYoshiFan]

as much a mario fan i am this made me feel awkward

[backfirenum001]

That was epic fail....in the most epic way ever. Shit,that SUCKED! He fucking shot them with a splazor!!!!111!!!1!

[SiriusBlack4Ever]

This is quite possibly THE most badass thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

[TKnHappyNess]

And why was Mario in this one? He did nothing, and still gets a medal from Peach. Luigi was the one who did all the work.

[greaserkideighty8]

Wow that was way the fuck out there. That chick in the yellow was fine, who is she?

[Johnny2071]

This is the hack they got to play Bowser!? The guy in the Bob Hoskins movie was so much better than this joke.

[filmgirl39]

haha princess peach's voice is hilarious

[nesgamer89]

it seems like '88 was the year it all took off for the NES and Mario, although I didn't get mine til '89 so I was a bit in the dark.

[Gamefan15]

OMG! I don't believe it! NINTENDO!

LOOK! NINTENDO!!!

That guy got too excited...or just bad voice acting in the making...

[Ketorulz]

yeah, u have to admit, anyone would have got excited seeing the NES for the first time back then.

[PuffyTopianMan]

Luigi: SHAY ELLO DOO MAH LEETLE FRIEND!!! (shoots the Koopas)

[JuberLOL]

heh, jason bateman owns

[Joe402]

the80s.flv

[AlbertWikowonkavitz]

Luigi vaporizes people with his spooge! :0

[peppypenguin101]

why didnt they shoot them in the games it would be much easyer

[supershawnodeseninja]

I think that was s'pos to be fireballs

[Ketorulz]

coz then it would be called "The Godfather Bros". lol

[peppypenguin101]

LUIGI MUST HAVE A SHOOTING FEDISH ah ha ha ha ha

[HijackedFlavor]

"Don't you adore chaos?"

"NO!"

[Theeggman18]

It's almost as bad as the movie.

[AlbertWikowonkavitz]

No, at least I could make somewhat of a sense out of the movie.

[MRINSTRUCTIONBOOK]

I don't know what's scarier, the Luigi costume or Weegee. D=

[luigimanultra7]

lol what

[blairshynola]

"KING KOOPA!? hey man, that looks like mr. belvedere!" - greatest line ever.

[Tarbars]

the girl is cute

[metroid567]

Bowser looks like he barfed alot.

[SirHatchporch]

I always thought it sounded like Jason said "Pootendo" at the 18 second mark. Listen to it again.

[Naruto19962000]

why does luigi have a rocket launcher?

[SlavicDemon]

Because Luigi is a gangtser!

[MissignoProtacio]

The truth is that they are carpenters,but this one is great.

[Klaustrofobisk]

Plummers if I'm not misstaken...

[MissignoProtacio]

They are carpenters.They were mistaken to be plumbers since they first apeared in mario bros where they need to fix the sewers because of the turtles and stuff.

[Nekorin]

Mario was a carpenter only in the first Donkey Kong game.

[MissignoProtacio]

Oh,I think I missed that game,sorry if I'm wrong about that part *peace*

[Alphasoulx]

End Koopa Persecution NOW!

[DoctorPoopnik]

DO WHAT YOU WANT! ...but do it NOW!

[Grooveraider]

XD Mr. Belvedere as King Koopa.... PRICELESS!

[TheGeckoNinja]

how did they make them disappear like that o_@

[peppypenguin101]

magic

[TheGeckoNinja]

wow old comment XD

[lexagon77]

the Princess sounds like she should be sassing mobsters, not being rescued by plumbers!

[LnWlf3]

does luigi blow them up?

[MurdocLC]

Wtf he called the goombas Koopa troopas at the start. Xd

THis was both bad and good. It was WTF but i give em credit for even doing it.

[caitiebeagle]

wow jason batemans balls have really  dropped since he has been the "nintendo prince".

[kylewilson2]

That King Koopa looks kinda like the Koopa from King Koopa's Kool Kartoon to me.

[jephrox]

OK...that man who's playing Bowser...isn't that THE same guy who plays Mr. Belvedere?!?! LOL

[shadowwolfz]

yup

[fivebearrugs]

Yup, that is the late Christopher Hewitt...he was also Tattoo's replacement on "Fantasy Island".

[flyingchinaman2000]

I wonder if anyone in the audience was baked. This would have been a great show to come high to.

[hall1385]

This is so lame!!!

[sexysadie1977]

Michael Bluth has come a long way!

[Krystallwolvelt]

Outfits especialy bowser's looks really bad but it was in the 80's back then so can't blame em much for makeing it look crap, but I like minnions outfits they are pretty good.

[RegisPhone]

This looks like a... TWO GOOMBA JOB! Hurry, Goomba, go and run toward them, except this time, stop right before you even touch them!

Isn't the definition of insanity something about repeating the same action and expecting different results?

[SuperMarioBrosMovie]

peach sounds like a whore

[pokedudeavenger]

@SuperMarioBrosMovie She IS a whore!



[TBustah]

Even in goofy 80's clothes, Alyssa Milano was smokin' back then!

[merrrgan]

why does he have a gun?

[shadow6k]

Because he's Luigi.

[AgentNick42]

...because he's Italian?

[shadowwolfz]

because it makes him look a lot more that with a ghost-sucking vacuum!

[zelgadiss]

LMAO he made them disappear?!!?!!

i want one of that flamethrower lol

[ILIKECEREALX]

Never fuck with Luigi when he has a Flamethrower.

I also loved how Mario did Jack Shit and still got a purple plunger.

[ILIKECEREALX]

"Oh noooooooo......."

[starwarsfreak96]

pause at 5:40 and you see one of the dead goombas in da background.

[Toadfanatic]

Pause at 2:48 and you can see Mario and Luigi in the background. :P

Oh, and ROFL when Luigi's blowing up the koopas.

[LimitedKnight]

Is it just me, or did peach sound like a hoe?

[romanval69]

she sounds like mae west

[mariobuddy1307]

king koopa sounds like king krool on the donkey kong show

[fonzhom]

is it just me or deos mario sound like fred flintstone?

[cosmusical]

Jesus christ, did i just watch that whole thing? I had no idea Bateman could be such a douchebag, he's so brilliant on AD.

[sinisterscrawl]

"Isn't cacophony divine?"

"No!"

Seeing Bowser and Peach and co. turned into *that* certainly is painful, but there is some fun dialogue there. This was way ahead of its time in drawing our attention to all the hidden evil forces stored up in computers. Luigi murdering goombas & stuff with that cannon is like something out of a wonderful NyQuil dream. And if choking down '80s-style stupid means we get pre-used-up Alyssa Milano in an off-the-shoulder yellow sweater, I'll take it.

[Blee527]

WTF?!?!

[NewYorkS4U]

If Peach spoke like that in the video games, then it would just make the games more adult like.

[eiremoonblossom]

The King Koopa outfit from this was later reused in King Koopa's Kool Kartoons, only the actor had a mask and different crown (to be better looking

[hyperxl122]

its a good thing jason bateman was teen wolf too or he would have never gotten the part as host

[ZaffireWolf]

So then all the kids from this generation grew up to be angsty angry internet "comedy" webhost nerds? Also how the hell does a Nintendo Entertainment System catch a virus? Thank God I'm too young to have been affected by the 80s, people seemed really dumb then. Well, they still do of course, but I mean they were stupid in a really 80s way.

[jonyalex]

Don't worry, people in this decade are stupid too, in a "new millenium" way :-D

[ZaffireWolf]

Ugh, yes. The fact each decade is hopped up on their own brand of goof balls makes it so we can never get over it.

[MagnaderAlpha]

I wouldn't say they were stupid, but we were definately not technologically savvy. That's why the whole NES/virus thing was never questioned. Remember, we weren't all computer geeks back then, and we didn't go online, burn CDs or talk on MSN Messenger. Give us some slack. I bet in the future, you're grand kids will be bragging on how the people of the 2000s were soo damn idiotic, and how us, now, are ignorant in a TOTALLY DIFFERENT way.

[MFZ95]

that isent bowser,its a gay bowser

[KingKeaton]

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

[PheonixMasters]

....

[ADaddict]

This is awesome.

[losereligion]

this was gay

[laughingBun]

that was quite entertaining

[ElitePie]

Haha, cool.
