At first, you will only have access to Episode 1. Beat that, and you will be able to select Episode 2, which leads to Episode 3, and so on. In general, you have to do the episodes in order, but you can always leave an area go to another area, and come back later.
The first of a 3 episode trilogy sees the kids of South Park assume super their Superhero alter egos. The Coon now leads a team of crime fighters called "Coon and Friends". The team gets ready to take their place next to the world's greatest and most admired heroes. However someone else keeps beating Coon and Friends to the punch. Both the residence of South Park and the nation looks to another Hero by the name of Captain Hindsight to get them through the tough times they are experiencing with the BP drilling disaster. While ranks within Coon and Friends seem to be breaking.
With South Park: The Fractured But Whole just around the corner, we thought it would be best to bring you up to speed on the current South Park video game story. Here is the South Park: The Stick Of Truth storyline.
Dragon Ball Super was an anime series that ran from 2015 to 2018. In total 131 episodes of Dragon Ball Super were aired. With a total of 14 reported filler episodes, Dragon Ball Super has a low filler percentage of 11%.
Each Super Sentai series has a varying amount of episodes. Some of the more recent series (starting with Gingaman) also have their own special designation to their episodes, with a few seasons have their numbers being pronounced in their English versions.
Video game translations to film and television have been a mixed bag, to say the least. Yet, amidst countless cases of tepid efforts and downright blunders exists a few memorable examples of these crossovers. One example remembered fondly by 80s and 90s kids, in particular, is a show based on the imaginative Super Mario Bros. franchise. It was certainly unique, not just for its colorful settings and creative premises, but also for its use of both cartoon and live-action segments.
Most episodes had their own theme referencing a particular book, film, TV show, or historical event. To further mix things up, the show hosted weekly cartoons based on the equally-majestic The Legend of Zelda. Though The Super Show had its share of cheesy moments and questionable animation, it was an entertaining watch on the whole.
The show lasted less than a year and was followed by the similarly-brief The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. Despite the short stint, however, it left a lasting impression on Mario fans, with each episode chock-full of action and recognizable elements from the video game classic. So, let's "do the Mario!" and highlight the top-rated episodes of this classic and often overlooked series.
No, this isn't the title of a speed-rush challenge in a Mario Bros video game, but, rather, a particularly entertaining Super Show episode. The show begins with a live-action romp that features Luigi getting knocked out and believing he's a game show host.
The cartoon segment keeps the wackiness going, as Mario and company stumble upon a cavern full of gold coins. "Claim Jump Koopa," who's one of many alter-egos of the villain featured in the show, finds out and forces the locals to mine the coins for him. As the name might reveal, the themes and setting of this one are derived from the California Gold Rush.
The Koopa-pun that makes up this cheeky title should also be an indication as to the premise of this episode. It parallels the 1956 film The Ten Commandments and partly touches on Christian themes as a whole.
The cartoon portion makes for a fun watch, with its colorful villains and a motif resembling Super Mario Bros desert biomes. There's plenty of action to be had, as Mario and friends must find a way to rescue the people of Pyramid Land after being turned to bricks for a "Koopinx" structure. The episode also features a silly live-action sequence involving pasta-based painting from Mario.
Given the similarly imaginative Mario and Star Wars universes, it seemed inevitable that there'd be an episode themed on this space fantasy. It kicks off with Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad traveling through outer space with their ship naturally called the "Flying Pizza."
As one may have guessed, the sinister Koopa takes on the role of Darth Vader, leading to some entertaining moments and comedy-laden thrills. The episode blends Mario and Star Wars tropes in such a wacky way that's sure to amuse fans of both properties. If this weren't enough, the live-action portion has Santa Claus dropping in on the plumbers.
The live-action bit is particularly off-the-wall in this one, as it hosts a strange mirror-man named Obi-Wan Cannoli. Yes, it seems that Super Show's cheeky Star Wars references don't stop at Star Koopa...
Meanwhile, the cartoon runs with the action-packed premise of the American Revolutionary War. US history buffs should get a kick out of this one, as it features a toad rendition of George Washington along with Mario-tinged settings pulled from this era. It also has Luigi reprising the role of Paul Revere as he warns of a Koopa attack on horseback.
The live-action segment is fairly forgettable in this romp, even if it does have a few silly yuks. It mostly revolves around the heartthrob teenager from Mr. Belvedere, a show many nowadays aren't likely to have heard of.
Yet, the cartoon portion scarcely fails to disappoint when it comes to entertainment value, with its whimsical leprechaun theme and adventure plot. It involves a cursed leprechaun, who must retrieve his pot of gold coins that are, of course, stolen by Koopa.
Fans of the classic gothic horror Frankenstein are likely to get some enjoyment out of this wacky, reference-heavy episode. Yet, even those not particularly well-versed in the works of Mary Shelley are in for a good time with "Koopenstein." Not only does it feature some laughers and rich, imaginative settings, but it also has Koopa take two villainous roles: Dr. Koopenstein and his bolt-headed monster.
Despite the interesting title of the live-action bit, "Baby Mario Love" is, in fact, not a reference to the annoying Yoshi's Island character, which hadn't been conceived yet. Rather, it involves the guest appearance of Regina Williams, who plays singer and dancer Susanna Ross. She pays the plumbers a visit and looks to bring some "glitz and glamor" into their lives.
This one opens with quite a bang, as it hosts wrestler Sgt. Slaughter playing a marine who apparently has a secret government mission for Mario and Luigi. He promptly orders the plumbers to train, putting them through a sort of plumber boot camp. This ends with some slapstick blunders and the brothers napping on the job. It's a cheesy bit, though it's silly enough to provide a few chuckles.
The cartoon segment revolves around the aptly-named "Rapland," which sees "Rappin' Koopa" taking over and hypnotizing everyone into giving him their cash. This musical romp even features the song "I Got You (I Feel Good)" by James Brown.
Many fans remember this pilot episode for being somewhat crude in terms of animation, even featuring a Toad whose mushroom colors are inverted. Spotty visuals aside though, the first episode of the Super Show is still a fan favorite for its adventurous plot and charming moments.
The episode adheres more closely to the Super Mario Bros. 2 theme, with an appearance from Birdo, rather than opt for thematic gimmicks. But really, it's all the better for it. The live-action bits are even fairly entertaining, going full-on goofy sitcom with plenty of cartoony moments. It also has what can loosely be described as an "ironic" ending one can't help but chuckle at.
This one really comes with equal parts action and comedy, featuring various references Bond fans are sure to get a kick out of. As an amusing bonus, there's even a random Wheel of Fortune nod, with hostess "Vampa White" taking center stage. While the live-action bits aren't quite as epic as the title indicates, the reference to the AI computer HAL 9000 makes "A Mario Odyssey" a funny watch.
The cartoon portion is similarly odd, but a degree more imaginative and entertaining. A premise involving Koopa and his fellow baddies taking on the role of Untouchables-inspired mobsters has to be a fun watch. The settings, story, and comedy bits are all truly on point in "The Unzappables."
The game, the commercials, food, and the friends aren't the only thing to look forward to this Super Bowl Sunday. Football and the Super Bowl have been concepts of TV show episodes for decades, sitcoms showcasing characters in wild antics to watch the game while cartoons poke fun at the country's obsession with the ball.
With the biggest night in football approaching, pre-game with some Super Bowl-themed TV episodes of some fan-favorite shows, from the full house preventing Joey from enjoying the game to Bob and his family hoping to promote their iconic burgers with an epic commercial.
Although Danny Tanner started out as a sports reporter in the first couple of seasons of Full House, it took the show until its final season to theme an episode around the Super Bowl, which aired just a few days before Super Bowl XXIX in 1995.
"Super Bowl Funday" follows Joey's desire to watch the big game despite having promised to take Michelle and her friends to the science museum with Jesse. The trip hilariously turns into the guys bringing the kids to a local bar where Joey attempts to watch the Super Bowl while Danny and Becky host the pregame show shown on the bar screens.
The best friends of How I Met Your Mother did almost everything together, including their annual Super Bowl viewing party. But when they're forced to postpone watching it, the group winds up in unexpected scenarios as they try to avoid hearing about the big game.
Season 2 episode "Monday Night Football" hilariously dates itself when the group prays to the TiVo gods and former football player Emmitt Smith guest stars as himself, commenting that dance is more important than football after having just won that year's season of Dancing With The Stars.
