King Koopa's Kool Kartoons
https://youtu.be/8uflm_O7G-E

He had a section where he was reading fan letters, killing puppets, giving out prizes, etc, then they had a public domain cartoon before wrapping it up.
Produced by DIC for Fox.

He was played by Chris Latta (you might recognize him as Cobra Commander, Star Scream, Moe Szyslak, etc). Latta sadly had some problems, he liked to sexually harass women that worked on the set and he said racist comments to the public children while it aired live. He still got to stay, until he did his biggest mistake...
At the end of an episode, they were throwing candies to the kids at the end of the show. The kids were crazy, climbed on each others just to grab some free candy. His son was in the public, and he got stuck at the bottom of a pile of kids. As a father, he reacted, rushed to the pile and dug him up while shouting what was wrong with the other kids.
This got him fired, and he was replaced by Pat Pinney (Painty the Pirate in Spongebob).
The show was popular with the kids, not so much with the parents, but it had a high view rating.
One day the Disney CEO sent a letter to the Fox CEO and said that the show ruined kids, so they should cancel it.
And Fox decided to cancel it.

No idea.
Could be a test to see if it was worth to invest in it on a national level.
Was Fox airing over the whole US at this time?

Atrocious, and I could at least stomach some of the cheesier shows of that era, such as the Mario Bros Super Show.

Racist Bowser?

Guess those "Bowser says the N word " in Mario Kart memes weren't so crazy.

Anyways sounds like a true dumpster fire all around.

I'm surprised Nintendo would greenlight something like that. Doesn't seem like their turf.

This was 80s Nintendo, when Yamauchi would do anything for a buck.

Mario wasn't supposed to be a kid character originally. He was more of the ugly bastard from hentai, a porn star plumber, something that 18+ guys would think was funny.

They had the SMB movie in English too, so this show doesn't seem off-base. It just looks bad. Bowser kinda looks like Wart also, so maybe there was some confusion lol.

Bowser looks like a costume cobbled together from a walmart crafts section, and a terror-dog mask from Ghostbusters.

Look at that moustache.
A kid is supposed to have sent in a fanmail with some... negative criticism about Bowser, who is supposed to have replied that he knows where that kid lives.

Once upon a time, Nintendo greenlit pretty much everything. Then Super Mario Bros.: The Movie came along and changed how they did things.

There is an early Mario anime where he is running around with a gun.
And Bowser is Queen Koopa.
