My Mario TV Show Pitch
Yesterday I posted in this community that I think Super Mario would work well as an episodic TV show. In this format, each season would be based on a game (or take elements from multiple games) follow a cohesive, overarching narrative that has a mix of humor and serious moments. I came up with 20 seasons. I included the name of the season, what game(s) it is based on, and who the focus character(s) is. If you are unfamiliar with focus characters, look at how Lego Ninjago does it. Each season a character is focused on and goes through a lot of development.
Keep in mind I also mentioned spin offs could work too. Like a show based on the Donkey Kong games.
Here’s the seasons:
S1: Super Mario Bros. (Based on Super Mario Bros. And Super Mario Bros. 2)
Focus Character: Mario
S2: The Adventures of the Mario Bros. (Based on Super Mario Bros. 3)
Focus Character: Luigi

Focus Character: Yoshi
