Fans Are Dubbing Japan’s 1980’s Super Mario Bros. Anime

The cast of this project includes Mario Radio Show regulars beatlebutt (Princess Toadstool, Lady Bow and Junior), WyntonYang (as Mario, Luigi, King Whomp, Kammy Koopa and Professor Egad) and Joe Armentrout (as King Koopa, King Bob-omb and Tatanga).

Restoration work on the footage itself was done by Kineko Video (who released a cut on YouTube earlier this year), while Yang is also handling the project’s music, which like the voice acting has also been reworked into English.
