    John and Aaron watch, review, riff on, and share trivia about video game cartoons! This week, they continue through “The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!"/”The Legend Of Zelda”!


    First, it’s a radical rerun as the Super Show serves up a second helping of “Tutti Fruitti Mario”! (We would’ve skipped it, but we had a guest)


    Next, the Series Finale Energy continues in what definitely should’ve been the last Zelda episode (but wasn’t) as Link goes ghost to help Zelda retrieve his mortal remains in “The Missing Link”!


    (00:00) - Intro


    (03:05) - Tutti Fruitti Mario


    (19:58) - Zelda - The Missing Link
