This was originally part of some VHS phone peripheral thing, and also it's made for five year olds who can't count. But because it's obscure Mario lore I had to watch it and see how it ended up... except that it interrupts the story every thirty seconds with a new math quiz, so you don't even get the chance to take in the very low production values. The big selling point for this one is Iggy Koopa's voice. When I heard it I cracked up laughing, for like two straight minutes. Seriously, please watch this for Iggy alone. Also if you have any children under theage of 6 you may be able to use this as an educational tool.

This is basically an interactive video for little kids. There was a telephone device that would work on the audio signals and then you would press a button to answer the questions the tape would ask of you. This is an interesting little relic of it's time but nothing more. The animation is ok and matches the style used in the Mario mangas of the time. It's not very polished but that's ok. The voices fit the respective characters and the story is a loose narrative based around the events of Super Mario World. Though what really bogs this down is the phone device, at first itisn't too annoying but as the video goes on Mario and pals use it more and more often. The questions are fine, if at any point you think to yourself "these questions are too obvious" remember that this device was aimed at toddler aged children. Though the frequency of the "calls" is a bit much, especially after the first third of the video and I could see even a little kid getting annoyed with this fast. So as both something for kids at the time and for people watching it now, I wouldn't recommend it beyond historical curiosity.
