Season 1

== Plot Summary ==
Season One is essentially the set-up arc for the Mario Anime. Mario and the majority of the show's supporting characters are established here. The majority of Season One takes place in the Mushroom Kingdom, where Mario and friends are constantly pitted against Bowser and many other nefarious but unsurprising villains.
That is until the last eight episodes, where we follow Luigi's descent into depression as well as the corruption that the Infinity Racket and Shrooms inflict upon his mind. It all leads to the climatic conclusion at the Mushroom Kingdom Tennis Tourney where Luigi unleashes the Infinity Racket's power that changes the series forever.
== Reception ==
Season one is regarded as one of the more sober seasons in the anime. Scenarios, for the most part, are grounded and relatively tame in comparison to newer parts until the arrival of the Infinity Racket which just basically fucks everything.
== Episodes ==
Season one consists of the following episodes:
=== Episode 1: "The Terror Begins" ===
Mario is transported to the Mushroom Kingdom after a gruesome death in his past life. Since he has no memory of it, he simply enjoys this strange new world under the impression he is a simple plumber in a not so simple world.
=== Episode 20: "The Infinity Racket, Part 8" ===
Mario, Peach, Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Ginger-Choco Bowser, King Boo, and several other characters all gather to partake in the Mushroom Kingdom Tennis Tourney. However, Luigi appears with a glimmering golden racket and six glowing colorful stones. The gang panics as he spouts his monologue and begins to hit a ball with the Infinity Racket. 'The Smack' then begins to alter the very fabric of reality, causing strange occurrences and mutation of characters. Most of the main cast manages to escape its effects when the Super Crown sacrifices itself to save them.Category:Seasons
