Rating Summary
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 is from an era when cartoons were safe and only had two agendas: entertain and sell products (in this case, video game cartridges). The 1990 animation isn't up to today's standards, and it hasn't been upscaled but is presented in its original standard definition. However, parents won't have to worry about non-binary skateboarders preaching to their kids about the joys of bottom surgery and hormone treatments. The stories are fun, the voice-acting is solid, and, thanks to the recent smash hit film, the characters are all popular with today's kids.
