Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.

AMADA ANIME SERIES: SUPER MARIO BROS.

Today, let's cover the Amada anime series, a trio of short films starring Mario, basically just casting him in retellings of Momotaro, Issun-boshi (more or less the same basic story as Tom Thumb and Thumbelina), and Snow White. Most of what Mario does are things that his roles in the original fairy tails do, such as being born from a peach and using a gun just like Momotaro, and using a needle as a sword and a bowl as a boat just like Issun-boshi. Likewise other characters play the core roles as seen in the stories. Peach plays an original daughter of the old couple that raise Momotaro, giving him a person to rescue from Bowser playing the Oni, while she also plays the title role of Snow White. Bowser plays the villain in all versions, including the Evil Queen in Snow White. Toads play the dwarves, Hammer Bros play the old couple, and Para-Beetle, Boomerang Bro, and Spike play the roles of Momotaro's dog, monkey, and pheasant companions. All in all, not much I'm willing to really ascribe to any of these characters, as they're not . . . their own moves, but it's all worth making note of.
