10 Absolute WORST Animated Shows Based off of Video Games

sonic boom was better than the game.

The Sonic underground theme song is an absolute bop even tho the show itself was a total mess

When 2023 rolls around, we are finally going to get a new Super Mario Brothers Movie. We'll just have to wait and see how this one turns out.
...

Based ON, you idiot, not “based off of.”

Sorry to inform you but Sonic Boom is a fever dream masterpiece

Fire Eblem had a anime?? Tight!

Just came here because there will be an animated Mario movie, which is a collaboration between Nintendo and Illumination. I'm not kidding.

The Donkey Kong County part has me laughing more than I should be 😅

Even by how bad the Super Mario Bros Super Show was, it will always be in my heart. Captain Lou and Danny Wells will never be forgotten.

The chapter title being mislabeled "Attack on the Power of Juju" made me audibly laugh for reasons I can't explain.

Yep mhmmmn this is true yep
Yesir

Video game movies are now great

I have a feeling that "Rabbit Invasion" has had some kind of renaissance lately

Thankfully last of us showed good video game tv adaptions can work

Rabbids invasion was hype when i was 5 tho

This has....
Aged well...

You gotta admit, the theme song for Tak and the Power of Juju is a total bop. Also, I'm surprised there was no mention of the Ruby Spears Mega Man cartoon (I'd place it on the list instead of Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, at least).

I actualy watched the PacMan show on MegaMax back in 2016-2017 ish from what I remember, the show was meh for me and I realy didn't see anything much than a show for kids that had power pellets. (I didn't knew pacman before 2020 and thought the show was its own thing that wasn't made before so thats the reason of the crappy comment that I writen)
P.S: Im Romanian and bad at writing in english so expect the bad writing.

Hey! Tak and the power of Juju had potential! Do you hear me? POTENTIAL!!!

Journalists are idiots. The Super Mario Bros Super Show was awesome when I was a kid. Loved it. I love that the new movie even includes the opening theme. :D

SP3

3DS

😭 I loved the rabbits show when I was younger. I mean it’s meant for kids so it really only matters if they liked. It

I used to headbang to the sonic underground theme song

Am I the only one who like the super mario bros super show?

Seeing Sonic Underground (Sonic y su banda en Hispanoamérica) in the thumbnail... hurt me.

this aged like milk

I remember watching Sonic Underground on Teletoon back in the 90s.
My motivation: I wanted to see how it ends. Spoiler: it ends on a cliffhanger.
Aside from the theme song, I doubt I'll think positively about it upon re-watching it?

I thought rabbits invasion was a good show and the episodes were good and I mean some episodes were ok

The Voice Actors for the English dub of the Fire Emblem OVA were the same ones from Neon Genesis Evangelion. It's main sin was not following the main elements of the Fire Emblem game it was based on, like the Weapon Triangle with swords, lances and axes which works like Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Sonic Underground may not have had the success of Sonic SATAM, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, or even Sonic X, but I still found it amusing. The main sin of SU was not having Sonic and his siblings meet their mother by series end, though I guess they didn't plan on having to cancel the series after 40 episodes. But I can't forgive them for leaving out Tails and the other original freedom fighters, especially since Robotnik still had his roboticized arm from Sonic SATAM. However, at least we got the introduction of Knuckles and the Master Emerald.
The jokes in Legend of Zelda were god awful. Plus I felt Link ran his mouth too often. He should have been given minimal dialogue like with Ocarina of Time. And not once in the games or manga did he do everything just to get a kiss from Zelda. I don't think they even saw one another as a romantic option.
I watched one episode of Donkey Kong Country and had enough. It was garbage.

The Super mario show was actually good now, Super mario World show was bad because of yoshis

There was a Pac-Man and the ghostly adventures game it was actually good

I remember watching sonic underground on Netflix all the time when I was younger, I think on Netflix it said there was 13 seasons, but now that I think about it they probably just split up seasons ones episodes to say it was a new season

How dare you?!rabbids invasion was my favorite show growing up.😡😡😡😡😡

Honestly, the Ghost Adventures of Pac-Man and Sonic Underground were shows I loved as a child, and still enjoy it now, heck, I actually watched DK’s show as well a couple of years ago, and yeah, it’s pretty bad, but I found it strangely charming, not amazing or favourite show material, but weirdly charming to be watchable 🤣

"He's kind of a fucking idiot" I died laughing

Well excuUUuse me, princess but the movie Mortal Kombat (1995) is actually pretty good I think, the best to this day

This list is pretty solid for the most part (The Super Mario Bros. Super Show and Super Underground are better than the other shows on this list), but there are a few cartoons that are much more deserving of being on this list. Captain N, Street Fighter and especially Darkstalkers (the animated series, not the OVAs) come to mind.

Honestly kinda sad, a good chunk of these shows were ones I binged as a kid. I used to love these shows so much and now it’s like everyone hates them 😭

I remembered owning a VHS called “Donkey Kong Country: The Legend of The Crystal Coconut”

I’m not a huge fan of Sonic Underground, but I’ll be honest; I forget how talented Jaleel White is with voice acting.

I liked sonic underground probably because I love sonic

donkey kong is peak

Sadly that Sonic Underground was the worst cartoon ever it never lasted long low ratings I swear it wasn't popular at all I rather go back watch Yashahime series plus The Legend of Zelda is still the worst cartoon Zelda is so bossy and spoiled and Link well, the"Well, excuse me, princess" very irrtating.

To me. The Fire Emblem anime. Despite having only two episodes. It felt more a prologue and origin story to Marth's tale. From Shadow Dragon it was based on.

They’re so condescending with everything they talk about, “the OVA only has 2 episodes” yes, that’s how they work 😂. I promise y’all a lot of these I grew up on and they were not as bad as they’re making it seem like, i.e. the Super Mario Show was very popular for the time, but than again they’re going off of critics reviews and not fans responses. Critics hate everything. Fan bases love them

I LOVE UNDERGROUND THOOOO

Sorry for the delay again guys, midterms have been taking up my time and I wanted to make sure this video was just right X: Anyways, thanks for watching! I really hope you enjoyed this video, because I actually wasted some of my lifespan and money on watching/buying these shows.
The big ol' Top 30 is next; featuring several narrators and a LOT to talk about. Ancient viewers will remember when I used to upload once a month because the lists were a lot longer. Well, that's sort of happening again, so I'll see you soon. Follow me on twitter for updates: @blameitonjorge
