It looks like a couple of cartoons with Nintendo’s Super Mario family are no longer available on Netflix: The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. Loosely based on the beloved NES and SNES games, the two programs follow the exploits of Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool as they fight against King Koopa and the Koopalings. The moment is unfortunate for those who want to enjoy some festivities before Mario Day, but fans will be happy to know that The Super Mario Bros. Super Show remains available at the service until the time of this writing.
Some establishments wrongly claimed that The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World will be removed on March 31, but both programs appear to have left Netflix at the time this book was written. March 31 will also be the same day that some games will no longer be available on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Nintendo listed that date as the final chance that players will have to buy the digital version of Super Mario 3D All-Stars, and the last day that Super Mario Bros. 35 is available. However, these games were always meant to be released for a limited time and there does not appear to be any real connection between the removals.
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World are often grouped with The Super Mario Bros. Super Show, but there are a number of differences between them. Notably, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World mainly presented new voice casts and abandoned the live action segments that were linked to the Super Show. Both cartoons also introduced new elements based on their respective games, while Super Show was loosely based on Super Mario Bros. two.
While this news is undoubtedly disappointing for some Netflix users, Paramount + subscribers will be happy to know that both designs are available on that service! This should give Nintendo fans an extra incentive to check out Paramount +. The streaming service also has Console Wars, a documentary detailing the conflict between Nintendo and Sega throughout the 90s. As such, Paramount + subscribers have several options to enjoy the benefits of Nintendo in the 90s!
