Super Duper Sumos is a Japanese-Canadian animated television series that premiered in the year 2000 and ran till 2003. It was co-produced by DIC Entertainment and Studio Ghibli and later on aired on Fox Kids and YTV. The show is about three sumo wrestlers, Mamoo, Kimo, and Booma, who protect their city and the world from evil sumo wrestlers. The show had a comical approach to the otherwise serious game of sumo wrestling, with humorous elements and silly jokes for kids.

The main three sumos, Mamoo (voiced by Matt Hill), Kimo (voiced by Ben Hur), and Booma (voiced by Richard Newman), are typical teenage boys - they love video games, pizza, and goofing around. But when the time comes to protect their city, they transform into super-powerful, super-sized sumo wrestlers. These sumos are part of a legendary clan who have been protecting humanity for generations.

The series is set in the fictional city of Tokyo Bay where the Super Duper Sumos live and train under the guidance of their wise and strict mentor, Sarge. Tokyo Bay is under constant threat from the evil sumo wrestlers, who are powerful, cunning and aim to take control over the world. The leader of the bad guys is called Prince Baka, an arrogant and selfish sumo wrestler. Baka has a vast army of evil sumo wrestlers at his disposal who help him carry out his evil plans.

The series follows the adventures of Mamoo, Kimo, and Booma as they battle their arch-nemeses Baka and his evil henchmen in a series of hilarious and action-packed battles. The Super Duper Sumos use their sumo wrestling expertise, combined with their unique superpowers to defeat their enemies. Booma is the strongest of the trio, Kimo is the fastest, and Mamoo is the smartest. Together, they make a great team, and their powers combined are unbeatable!

The sumo battles in the show are not just limited to the traditional sumo wrestling rules but go beyond it to make it more exciting and fun for kids. They involve a lot of jumping, flipping, and throwing of objects. In one episode, the sumos battled each other using giant rubber duckies; in another, they battled inside a videogame. The Super Duper Sumos' enemies are not just limited to other sumo wrestlers. They fight against villains such as giant summer dresses, a giant chicken, a giant sushi roll, and more.

Each episode of Super Duper Sumos follows a classic storytelling format. The first half of the episode sets up the plot, introduces new characters, and sets up the problem for the sumos to solve. In the second half, the super sumos use their unique skills, powers, and sumo wrestling tactics to defeat the bad guys and save the day. The show is peppered with catchy one-liners, fun visuals, and memorable characters that are bound to tickle the funny bones of children.

The animation style of the show is stylized in a fun and cartoonish way, perfectly suited to the whimsical nature of the show. The characters are chunky and colorful, with exaggerated facial features, and larger than life bodies. The backgrounds are bright and bold with a lot of use of primary colours, which give the show a fun, energetic vibe.

Super Duper Sumos has a universal appeal to children of all ages. The show is perfect for kids who love action, comedy, and superheroes. It's a lighthearted show that doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's what makes it fun. The sumo wrestling is used as a backdrop for the battles, which adds an exciting dimension to the show. The characters are relatable, goofy, and fun, making it easy for kids to empathize with them. The humor is slapstick, and the jokes are kid-friendly, which makes it perfect for family viewing.

In conclusion, Super Duper Sumos is an entertaining and hilarious animated show that kids of all ages will love. With its fun characters, silly jokes, exciting sumo wrestling battles, and an overall message of teamwork and friendship, the show has all the right ingredients for a great cartoon series. While it may have ended its run in 2003, it remains an evergreen show that continues to entertain kids even today.
