Trivia:

The Writer's Bible section of the DVD states that Bully/Roy Koopa is the oldest of the Koopa Kids. This clashes with the games, which claim Kooky/Ludwig Von Koopa is the oldest of the Kids.

Goofs:

Continuity: In 7 Continents For 7 Koopas, the views on Bowser's Doom Ship monitors change between shots. In one shot Princess Toadstool has her bathing suit on, in the next her standard pink dress, and in the next nothing can be seen on the monitors.

Followed by "Captain N and the New Super Mario World" (1991)

Cool

This was one cool series. Combined various characters from Nintendo games in one part and had everyone's favorite plumbers in another part of the show. Captain N combined Icarus, Mega Man, Metorid, Punch out, Donkey Kong and sometimes featured a certain game like Tetris. The Mario part had Mario, Luigi, Toad and the Princess in a Super Mario Bros. 3 environment. A very cool show.
