- TriviaThe episode "How's Bayou" has two different versions. The original version aired on September 16, 1989 and never again. It had a lot of unfinished/raw animation, different music/dialogue/scenes/etc., and a lot of other little differences. The "finished" version aired all subsequent times. Strangely, the Shout Factory DVD includes the rare, first version, and not the later better-known version.
- GoofsKing Hippo is blue-skinned on the show, but has a normal flesh color in the game Punch Out.
- Quotes
Mother Brain: It won't be long before I, beautiful goddess that I am, become Queen of Videoland! Ah-ha ha ha ha!
- Alternate versionsThree of the episodes were trimmed down to half of their original length and aired as filler material in Super Mario World (1991)
- ConnectionsEdited into The Nostalgia Critic: Felix the Cat: The Movie (2011)

An Honest Review
When I was growing up there were two types of kids on the block. The kids that whipped the controller around--like everyone's sisters--when they played and the cool kids.
We were playing with power and Nintendo ruled.
Nintendo and cartoons were a necessary thing when you grew up in Chicago, the streets weren't all that safe and the weather actively tried to kill you.
Freeze you to death in the winter and kill you with heat stroke and humidity in the summer. That's the Chicago way, that's how you beat Capone.
And really you are indoor kids until you get old enough to avoid bad men.
So Nintendo and cartoons ruled and this had both. It had characters from our favorite games facing off against one another in the fantasy world where people got pulled into their Nintendo and into a land of adventure.
And it was realistic because, even though you could go outside, there was still a chance you'd get shot. So we could relate to it...even in the safe white Middle-Class parts of Chicago
