The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

Flatbush Koopa - S1-E48

Visible crew/equipment: In the live-action segment, several times when Mario and Luigi confront Mrs. Gammliss, the shadow of either a crew member or a piece of equipment is moving at the top of the screen. It is not Mario, Luigi, or the Ratagator's, as they are not moving, and it is not the passersby's, as the shadow is present even when they are not present. (00:17:38 - 00:18:45)

Too Hot to Handle - S1-E24

Revealing mistake: In the live-action segment, when Mario says that Luigi has been eating breakfast backwards, the screen is briefly frozen for a few frames, revealing that Luigi eating backwards is merely footage of him eating forwards played backwards. (00:18:55)

Star Koopa - S1-E51

Revealing mistake: When Obi-Wan Toadi presents the pizza to Mario, the right strap of Mario's seat is connected to thin air. This also happens when he says that the pizza will bolster his appetite. (00:14:48)

Answer: "Club Mario" was reruns of the original show repackaged with new live action segments. It was a cheap way to present the old animated episodes as a new show. Club Mario was incredibly unpopular and eventually reruns of the original show with the Captain Lou Albano segments were aired in its place.
