From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Super Mario Challenge was a show which aired on The Children's Channel. It ran from 1990 to 1991 and aired at 4.30 PM every weekday. The presenter, John Lenahan, was a lookalike of Mario, and dressed in his clothes. Two guest players had to do tasks, all of which involved playing the Mario video games Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2 and, after its release in 1990, Super Mario Bros. 3. Rounds included challenges to see which player could complete a level in the fastest time and who could collect the most gold coins on a certain level. The show was dropped in 1991, quite a while before The Children's Channel's rebranding to TCC. This is evident in Link Anchor Man receiving several letters asking if the show would be repeated, which it never was.
