About this website

As I said in the About the SMB Movie section, the aim of this website is to help its viewers understand what the filmmakers were trying to do with this movie, and at least appreciate the immense amount of thought and respect that went into creating it. So, there are many sections of the website that try to cover just about everything.

Of course, the General section contains the bones of the website. There's the main page where you can view the latest updates. About the SMB Movie and About this website explain the aim and focus of the website. The Staff page has profiles for the people who regularly contribute to this project. The Contact page has contact info so you can get in touch with me and tell me about how my awesome website made you just love the SMB Movie. And finally, the Affiliates page contains all the websites that wish to be associated with us.

The Pre-Production section has all of the stuff I've managed to find about the making of this movie. First up is the Artwork page. It displays all the pre-production artwork I've managed to track down. The Storyboards page contains some boards I've found on the internet, as well as the entire Devo Chamber sequence from my personal collection. Photographs includes just that--behind the scenes photos from the internet as well as from the official books, etc. and my personal collection. And finally, the Props section features pictures and descriptions of pre-production props that I have enough information on to describe in detail, such as the director's chair back, a prop newspaper, and even a Goomba's patch!

The Media section houses every piece of visual media (that's not merchandise) that I've been able to track down, such as Trailers, Commercials, and Advertisements. The Behind the Scenes section has some really nice (not to mention ridiculously rare) stuff in it, such as a Behind the Scenes featurette, and a segment on Yoshi!

Merchandise contains a ridiculous amount of archived memorabilia from the movie. First off are the official Video Releases--that includes VHS and DVDs from around the world! The Cards/Stickers section has info of the different sets of trading cards and sticker sets that were released. Music contains information on the soundtrack, score, and different singles that were released. Promotional Items is an interesting one--it's got info about promo items that you couldn't purchase at retail, such as a promo plunger! Books contains has info on the different kinds of books released, such as the novelization, coloring books, etc. The Posters section contains the standard theatrical movie posters you've probably seen, as well as some others that you probably haven't (check out the awesome one from Thailand!) Clothing contains just that--any piece of clothing I've found related to the movie. And finally, Other holds the stuff that doesn't fit into any other section.

The Specials section gets into some content that's taken (and will continue to take) some hard work and effort to complete. The Early Draft Script page has info about the early draft of the script I've come across and how it's different from the finished movie, dated 3/25/1992! Deleted Scenes has info/pictures on all of the deleted and extended scenes that we know of, as well as ones that are pure speculation until proven true or false. Obviously, Interviews will (hopefully) hold exclusive interviews with people involved with the movie. Game References is an interesting one--it's a comprehensive page that contains every reference the movie makes to the games that I've been able to find; some obvious, some not so obvious. The Thwomp Website is something really fun. It's the 'official' website of the company in the movie that makes the awesome Thwomp Stompers.

Fan Contributions holds all of the stuff that you awesome SMB Movie fans send to me, such as Fan Art or Fan Fiction.

And finally, there's our Forum, where you can converse amongst yourselves about the SMB Movie. Be sure to look over the Forum Info/Rules page first, or you might not know how to do simple stuff, like register for the forum.
