It appears that someone out there in Youtube land has constructed their interpretation of a "modern day Super Mario Bros. Super Show" opening.  It's features a pretty decent collection of Mario cinema scenes from the recent games, generally patched together to fit the themes of the "song".

It might be worth taking a look at, if even for just a minute.
