In Highlight Reel, 3MB will check out funny and interesting wrestling videos.
Today is the 30th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Brothers in Japan. To celebrate the accomplishments of our favorite mustachioed hero, we looked at Mario’s connections to the world of wrestling. After lamenting the cancelled Super Mario Strikers, a game that was supposed to be a combination of volleyball and wrestling (hey, it should’ve worked!), we found our favorite connection: WWE Hall of Famer Captain Lou Albano!
In addition to playing Cyndi Lauper’s father in the “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” music video, Captain Lou was also tapped to play the role of Mario in the Super Mario Brothers Super Show! He played Mario in the live action moments of the show and he was the voice of Mario in the cartoon moments of the show.
But that’s not all…
