The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

Robo Koopa - S1-E52

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Bunsun messes up Robo Koopa's controls, everyone's surroundings keep changing in almost every shot, which is basically the floor they are standing on, and the backgrounds. (00:02:10 - 00:03:30)

Yoshi

Robo Koopa - S1-E52

Factual error: Koopa tries to kill the Mario brothers, Bunsun and Dr. Nerdnik by pushing an electric pole at them. Mario and Luigi use a nearby fire hydrant to protect them by having water rush out of it and keeping the pole from crushing them. There is no way a single blast of water can stop a large pole from falling, and the brothers would have been electrocuted as soon as the water hit the pole. (00:07:00)

Robo Koopa - S1-E52

Continuity mistake: As the fight between Koopa and the Plumbinator begins, in one shot the camera zooms in to Koopa while under the Plumbinator's legs. Robo Koopa's color is light blue in this shot, when it is dark blue in the rest of the episode. (00:10:15)

Robo Koopa - S1-E52

Continuity mistake: When the Marios are hurting enemies and freeing Dr. Nerdnik, Mario kicks through a gate at the start of the scene in order to get inside. This gate disappears, once when Bunsun pushes the doctor through the hole, and twice at the end of the scene. (00:04:45 - 00:06:30)

Yoshi

Flatbush Koopa - S1-E48

Visible crew/equipment: In the live-action segment, several times when Mario and Luigi confront Mrs. Gammliss, the shadow of either a crew member or a piece of equipment is moving at the top of the screen. It is not Mario, Luigi, or the Ratagator's, as they are not moving, and it is not the passersby's, as the shadow is present even when they are not present. (00:17:38 - 00:18:45)

Too Hot to Handle - S1-E24

Revealing mistake: In the live-action segment, when Mario says that Luigi has been eating breakfast backwards, the screen is briefly frozen for a few frames, revealing that Luigi eating backwards is merely footage of him eating forwards played backwards. (00:18:55)

Star Koopa - S1-E51

Revealing mistake: When Obi-Wan Toadi presents the pizza to Mario, the right strap of Mario's seat is connected to thin air. This also happens when he says that the pizza will bolster his appetite. (00:14:48)

Mario Mario: That's a heaping helpin' of moolah.
Luigi: Yeah and that's a lot of money too.

Show generally

Question: Why was Toad's color palette sometimes way different, primarily in the first couple of episodes? Why didn't they bother changing this with the final results? It's relatively inconsistent on what palette is used in each episode, despite the fact the more recognizable of the two (white mushroom with red spots along with a variety of coloring in clothes) is shown much more often than the other (red mushroom with white spots along with the majority of his clothes being red and white).
