Looney Tunes Super Stars Sylvester & Hippety Hopper: Marsupial Mayhem Rotate cover
The Super Stars series draws to a close with another full-fledged release that actually completes the filmographies of two minor characters: Hippety Hopper and Sylvester's son, Sylvester Junior. Despite being an unceremonious end for the series by fans, in retrospect it ends up being one of the more favorable additions to any complete collection.

Included are all eighteen shorts that feature either Sylvester Junior and/or Hippety Hopper. Notably, it restores the original titles for nearly all the shorts that had them replaced, with only "Who's Kitten Who?" still retaining its reissue titles. The result is a surprisingly well thought out release that had some questioning why this practice wasn't done since the start of the series.

This marked the actual end of any restoration efforts for the DVD format, as all later restorations were implemented in the Blu-ray format (although some restorations of such were later ported to DVD). With more people opting for HD media, especially in the turn of the 2020s, DVD sales for the series began to decline, and this release could be seen as its last hurrah before the DVD side primarily resorted to double dips.

Disc Specifications

Collector's Recommendation Score

What's this?This is a rating of how recommended it is to obtain the set, rated from a scale of 0 to 10. This is automatically done and is calculated from three criteria by default: how many shorts are new to the format (20%), how many shorts is an upgrade from previous releases (30%), and how many shorts don't have an upgrade in future releases (50%). The higher the score, the more recommended the set is.

Each short in itself contributes an equal amount, and miscellaneous and post-Golden Age shorts are also included. Thus, even if all Golden Age shorts are upgraded in later sets, shorts in other categories may still prevent the set from scoring a 0.

For compilation sets, only the amount of shorts without a better version on later sets are scored for up to 10 points, as they tend to be repackages of previously released sets.

Any set that scores 0 on new-to-format or upgrade tests are deemed as double dip-only sets and instantly fails with a 0. Sets that also scores 0 on the "don't have an upgrade" test are also deemed as obsolete, usurped sets and instantly fails with a 0. As more sets get released, the score may be subject to change.

This is not an exhaustive rating on the set itself in terms of quality, but rather a marker on how worthwhile it is the obtain the set for a complete collection in the most cost-efficient way. Thus, sets with a higher score are a much better value for your cash than lower rated ones; sets rated with a 0 are generally a waste of cash.
This set has achieved a Collector's Recommendation Score of 9.5 out of 10, based on the sum of the score from the following categories:
  • New-to-format score (up to 2 points): 1.67
  • Upgrade score (up to 3 points): 2.83
  • Doesn't have an better version score (up to 5 points): 5

It is highly recommended to get this set for collection's sake, as it currently contains the best versions of the cartoons included on the set with minimal double dips. Most of the shorts featured on the set has yet to be upgraded to a better version or is in their best possible version if they're restored in HD.
