Revealing mistake: When Bunsun walks up to Dr. Nerdnik to free him, an animation mistake is noticable. Bunsun is far away and she walks up to him, and during this whole sequence her body is in front of Dr. Nerdnik, according to the camera's view. (00:04:55)

Yoshi

Other mistake: Near the end, Dr. Nerdnik tricks Robo Koopa into pushing the red ejector seat button on his suit by saying it will run out of fuel unless he pushes the button. He pushes one of the white buttons, yet he ejects anyway. (00:12:10)

Yoshi

Robo Koopa - S1-E52

Revealing mistake: In the first chase scene, the backgrounds are usually repeated in close-up shots, because you can see a sudden jump in the background animation. (00:00:40 - 00:02:25)

Robo Koopa - S1-E52

Continuity mistake: During the fight sequence, Koopa ties a rope around the Plumbinator's metal body and pulls the Plumbinator over to him.

Yoshi

Robo Koopa - S1-E52

Continuity mistake: At the start of the fight between Robo Koopa and the Plumbinator, Koopa fires a black bomb. The number of bombs in this sequence keeps changing, from 1 when he fires it, then 3, then 2 when the Plumbinator sends the bombs back to Koopa, then 3 again, and finally 2 when Koopa dodges the returned bombs. Also, the color of the bombs keep changing from black to red. (00:10:20)

Yoshi

Robo Koopa - S1-E52

Continuity mistake: When the brothers, Toad and the Princess are dashing away from Koopa, there is a shot with the four of them running offscreen. Notice the background as the camera pans to Koopa. The next shot shows a very different background. (00:01:45)

Robo Koopa - S1-E52

Continuity mistake: When Mario, Luigi, Bunsun and Dr. Nerdnik are about to be crushed by the electric pole, when Luigi moans "we're doomed," he is in front of Mario. In the next shot, Mario is looking ahead while saying "doomed, schmoomed." In this same shot, Mario pulls Luigi over to a nearby fire hydrant, and Luigi moves onscreen from Mario's right. Therefore, Luigi has changed position. (00:07:10)

Yoshi

Robo Koopa - S1-E52

Other mistake: When Koopa's controls are messed up by Bunsun, an explosive shoots out one of Koopa's toes, destroying a nearby structure. In the next shot, bullet bills are being fired out of his toes. (00:02:55)

Yoshi

Mario Mario: That's a heaping helpin' of moolah.
Luigi: Yeah and that's a lot of money too.

More trivia for The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

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.
