Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bouken Land is an interactive anime video based on the game Super Mario World. It is designed for use with Bandai's Terebikko system, which utilizes a telephone-shaped microphone to "interact" with the video. It asks the viewer multiple choice questions, such as what will hatch from Yoshi's egg.

This was originally part of some VHS phone peripheral thing, and also it's made for five year olds who can't count. But because it's obscure Mario lore I had to watch it and see how it ended up... except that it interrupts the story every thirty seconds with a new math quiz, so you don't even get the chance to take in the very low production values. The big selling point for this one is Iggy Koopa's voice. When I heard it I cracked up laughing, for like two straight minutes. Seriously, please watch this for Iggy alone. Also if you have any children under theage of 6 you may be able to use this as an educational tool.

This is basically an interactive video for little kids. There was a telephone device that would work on the audio signals and then you would press a button to answer the questions the tape would ask of you. This is an interesting little relic of it's time but nothing more. The animation is ok and matches the style used in the Mario mangas of the time. It's not very polished but that's ok. The voices fit the respective characters and the story is a loose narrative based around the events of Super Mario World. Though what really bogs this down is the phone device, at first itisn't too annoying but as the video goes on Mario and pals use it more and more often. The questions are fine, if at any point you think to yourself "these questions are too obvious" remember that this device was aimed at toddler aged children. Though the frequency of the "calls" is a bit much, especially after the first third of the video and I could see even a little kid getting annoyed with this fast. So as both something for kids at the time and for people watching it now, I wouldn't recommend it beyond historical curiosity.

I am sorry to say that this is just an average show at best. And that's if you watch the sub instead of the dub. The voice acting in the dub makes a particularly bad experience. Almost everyone's voice acting is completely terrible. The Yoshis and Bowser are completely muffled and I can barely hear what tbey say. Luigi sounds bored. Peach's voice is completely laughable. This would have had unironic enjoyment if this was like a Real-Time Fandub video, but unfortunately that's not the case. This honestly sounds like all the voices were dubbed by one or two people on a 2001 iMac intheir bedroom at three in the morning. If you watch the sub, the voice acting is just boring and generic, but that's honestly better than what the dub offers. The story is simple and interesting enough, but because of the voice acting, I'm either bored or annoyed.
What intrigues me about this OVA, though, is that it's connected to a phone console called Terebikko, made by Bandai Namco. I like the idea of a Blue's Clues or Dora the Explorer-type show that encourages hands-on interactions and not just shouting at the TV screen. I do wish there were other OVAs that had more than one right answer or made a choose-your-own adventure, though I understand that would have been quite hard at the time for a VHS. The technology used for the Terebikko is already advanced, and I'd like to know how they pulled it off, especially if a kid pressed a button that had an incorrect answer.
Overall, I would only recommend it if you're a historian and if you have the Terebikko yourself (which I bet is very hard to find). Otherwise, it's nothing to write home about.
