The most terrifying version of Princess Peach you’ll ever see then calls on the Super Mario Bros. Belvedere star Christopher Hewett shows up dressed like a hobo Bowser and explains that he plans to infect the world with computer viruses spread through the NES consoles in everyone’s living room. Alyssa Milano and Jason Bateman – teen icons from the era – hosted this odd special, which featured live music and skating performances based around Mattel’s Barbie and Super Mario Bros.ĭuring the Mario Bros. The special coincided with the 50th Anniversary of the Ice Capades. On Thursday, December 7, 1989, ABC presented an Ice Capades special.

Even so, in 1989 he strapped ice skates to his feet for one of his strangest adventures ever.


He’s thrown fireballs at giant dinosaurs, jumped off the heads of flying turtles, and taken to the skies with a tanooki tale pined to his butt. Mario has had had his fill of adventures.
