This collection gathers the screen incarnations of Nintendo's Mario across nearly four decades. It starts with The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, the 1989 television series that pulled the plumbers out of the game world and onto American afternoons, then jumps to the 2023 animated The Super Mario Bros. Movie and its 2026 follow-up built around Super Mario Galaxy.
What ties them together is the challenge of turning a nearly wordless platformer into narrative. The 1989 show leaned on live-action skits and cartoon segments, while the recent films lean on spectacle and fan recognition. Spanning television and film, it is a smaller, screen-only slice of a property far better known for its games.
The The Super Mario franchise spans 1 series, 2 movies in the CrossBinge catalog.
