These are the home video releases of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

VHS[]

Kids Klassics releases[]

From 1989 to 1991, Kids Klassics released episodes of the series on VHS. The earliest videos contained one animated episode bookended by two live-action episodes. Later tapes started off with a single live-action segment followed by three animated episodes, and later on, four animated episodes with no live-action segment altogether. Unlike later releases, the animated segments are notably presented on these releases as they originally aired, with the song covers intact. However, the live-action segments do not include the Legend of Zelda previews or the scenes that segue into them.

DVD[]

Single-disc releases[]

Cover Title Released Distributor
Mario's Greatest Movie Moments Mario's Greatest Movie Moments February 26, 2002 Lions Gate Home Entertainment
Featured episodes:
  • "Robo Koopa"
  • "Toad Warriors"
  • "Raiders of the Lost Mushroom"
  • "Kiss'n Tell" (The Legend of Zelda)
  • "Count Koopula"
  • "Mario Meets Koop-Zilla"
  • "Koopenstein"
  • "The Missing Link" (The Legend of Zelda)

Bonus features:

  • Trivia game

Notes:

  • Beating the trivia game unlocks the episode "The Adventures of Sherlock Mario". Midway through the second act of the episode, though, it inexplicably loops back to the start of the second act, then plays as normal, and even shows the second half of the episode's accompanying live-action segment, "Plumbers of the Year".
  • This is notably the only Super Mario Bros. Super Show DVD that features Inspector Gadget appearing on the menus to provide tutorials on how to use the DVD.
Mario Mania DVD Mario Mania! July 6, 2004 Sterling Entertainment
Featured episodes:
  • "The Bird! The Bird!" / "Neatness Counts"
  • "King Mario of Cramalot" / "Day of the Orphan"
  • "Butch Mario and the Luigi Kid" / "All Steamed Up"
  • "Mario's Magic Carpet" / "Marianne and Luigieena"
  • "The Ringer" (The Legend of Zelda) / "Slime Busters"

Bonus features:

  • "Ask Andy" featurette
  • Individual live-action segments

Notes:

  • This is the only single-disc release of the series in which each episode is accompanied by their respective live-action segment, though the Legend of Zelda previews on episodes 1-4 are cut.
  • The Family Channel edit of "King Mario of Cramalot"/"Day of the Orphan" is used here (hence why the theme song sounds noticeably slower and why there are two additional commercial fade-outs added between scenes). This is also how the episode is presented on the volumed DVD sets.

Volumed sets[]

In 2006, Shout! Factory released all of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episodes across two four-disc sets. These two volumed sets present each episode with their respective live-action segment, all with the Legend of Zelda previews kept intact and the episode-specific commercial bumpers of the first twelve episodes reinstated. Due to licensing problems, however, the animated portions still lack their song covers, and four episodes on Volume 2 are presented without their respective live-action segments.

Factory sets, NCircle's sets do not contain any of the live-action portions. Additionally, the episode: "On Her Majesty's Sewer Service" is excluded for an unknown reason.
