Super Mario Bros. & Friends is a Japanese-American-British computer-animated television series produced by Yoshi Animation Studios and distributed by 1happycats Productions. The show premiered in 2016.

Why It Rocks
(W.I.P.)
 * 1) The animation and art style are near spot-on with official 3D Mario media.
 * 2) The voice actors from the games reprise their roles for this show, and they sound as good as ever.
 * 3) The show occasionally mixes in characters from other mh:awesomegames:Nintendo games, such as Link from mh:awesomegames:The Legend of Zelda, which is a neat touch (and actually justifies the "& Friends" part of the title).
 * 4) Bowser is depicted correctly for once, unlike the three DiC cartoons.
 * 5) While the show does not usually have plots that relate to the games, they are still decent.
 * 6) The music is great to listen to. While the tracks taken from the video games were always good, the original tracks are not bad either.

Bad Qualities
(W.I.P.)
 * 1) Some of the episode plots are questionable, particularly all thirty episodes of the first season, which are adapted from the virtual coloring book Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up.
 * 2) *In fact, the show's name and logo come from that "game".
 * 3) The second season marks the debut of two somewhat unlikable characters: Abby, a Shy Guy who's pretty much this show's equivalent to Stingy from LazyTown, and Mary Willow Mario, Mario's grounding-obsessive mother who has so many problems she has a page all to herself.

Trivia

 * This is the first television series based on the Mario franchise since the Super Mario World cartoon.
 * This is the very first production from the then-new Yoshi Animation Studios.
 * The first season was animated by Yoshi Animation Studios in-house. Beginning with the second season, it was outsourced to Assemblage Entertainment in India.
