Just to make it clear, this show isn't ridiculous at all. That cartoon is awesome and I would say holds up today (perhaps not the greatest animation quality).

Do you remember the amazing ending (don't spoil it if you do)? This show has an extremely impressive ending that in my opinion rivals most "adult" shows, and it was for kids. I heartily recommend everyone to see some episodes. If you are really tight on time and can't stand the dated animation quality, at least watch the ending (although it won't be the same without getting to know the characters more).

I love the meme it spawned.

I liked this cartoon, too.

Ha! You and me both. My wife told me she used to do the same thing, so it's not just guys of that age, Luke.

Loved this show as a kid, but i would be afraid to watch it now haha. I also loved the frustratingly difficult nes game as well.

I have never seen the show in my life. But I played the hell out of the NES game back in the day. I loved how each character was unique in the way they moved, their attacks, and each had some special power which was awesome. I think I actually managed to beat it, once. I remember mostly that freaking elevator level, and how many times I died on it.

Even a hardcore brony wouldn't touch that.

I know how that goes. My neighbors across the street have two daughters and a boy. The boy is the youngest sibling, and man is he girly! By contrast, my sister has multiple older and younger brothers, and she's pretty tough.
