A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Yeah, I think I remember reading that somewhere as well. More's the pity; again, not that I really minded him lacking it in context, but he's really proven he can rock it like a Bro.

1) I can't believe I missed this all this time. That's awesome.

2) That mustache! Now THAT is a Luigi!

I'm not saying that as a matter of "Luigi has to have a mustache," I'm saying that this shows Leguizamo can clearly rock a mustache worthy of the Mario Bros.

I actually watch nightram and asked him about those yesterday after seeing his latest video. I remember seeing those figures in toyfare magazine in 99 or 00 and couldn't wait. Unfortunately we know they never saw light of day. Were they there? I don't even remember... I might have all my old Toyfar...

Ah, how I wish those had come out. Another place to see stuff about it is the Video Game Memorabilia Museum , run by fellow Nintendo Force contributor Nightram. There's a forum post with more pictures here . In fact, he recently got his hands on one of the prototypes (different figure from the line,...

Didn't Sony used to own the rights to Super Show as well? I know Disney has it now but I could have sworn at one point they did. Just home video rights, I believe. Before they were a platform holder, no less, if memory serves. I think I have one or two of their tapes. Of course, Sony also provided ...

That too. Enough so that I didn't even think to bring it up, but yeah.

What computer animated films have they done? Honest question, I really don't know. Going by the fact that I mentioned of them not doing their own Ratchet or Sly Cooper films firsthand, nor Sonic, it doesn't seem unlikely they'd team with someone for the task. Heck, lots of production companies team...

I don't think Sony would handle the computer animation themselves; their Ratchet & Clank and, if I'm not mistaken, Sly Cooper films are both being animated by Rainmaker Entertainment, the former Mainframe. Meanwhile, their Sonic pic is being handled by Marza Animation Planet, the same SEGA studi...

I think I missed where they greenlit/announced it, much less for a 2017 release...

In fact, what I saw had Arad denying that any deal had closed, and negotiating with Nintendo was "just the beginning."

Dang... two grand and three months ago, and my costume would have been even better. No belt, though... If they can be proven authentic I'd say two grand would be a reasonable price for those props provided the proceeds go to the movie's general sales. (As I understand it still hasn't made its budge...

Okay, so it's been a while since I've touched this. The reason being that Mark has found himself too busy to continue with the comic, and I myself have been a bit too busy scrambling for work and doing other things to assemble a properly-worded post about what I'm hoping to do. At least one of those...

Indeed. Also, unless Second Sight is some division of Disney, that could work in its favor as well. At the very least, they should maybe talk about the prospect, as SS has done the DVD/Blu-ray, so they apparently know how to deal with the Mouse.

I was looking at some Blu-Rays I bought last year from Shout! Factory (a would-be ideal American Blu-Ray distributor if the Mouse didn't have its mits on our movie) Disney being involved needn't preclude it from being released by Shout; they've released stuff from Nick, Warner Bros., and even Marve...

Awesome stuff.

Awesome, thanks! =)

This is my favorite theory.

This really intrigues me, as we've never had much information about the film's release overseas. Japan is Mario's home country after all, I wonder how the film was advertised there? With the release of the Super Scope , in one instance. I remember seeing a hardcover " Making of " book on ...

Haha, you guys are awesome! LBD, you didn't tell us you were busting out the Mario Movie duds again! You sly devil! That's a really interesting outfit Carl. I do appreciate that you made the overalls match the sprite of the original NES Super Mario Bros. I don't think I've seen anyone do that befor...

I just heard about it. It's a shame. I wonder If he ever knew about how, even though he may have hated the movie, there are some people like us who genuinely appreciated the good work he put into it? One can hope. And from what I've read/been told, I'm not even sure he hated the movie so much as he...

Man, what terrible news. I would say it's not news I wish to go to bed to, but nor is it news I'd want to wake up to.

Bottom line: This sucks.

R.I.P., Bob. You were great.

Also, Mario's outfit in the games had been constantly changing up to Mario World, so to say that the movie got it wrong is ludicrous at best. And while I too would have enjoyed seeing the bros. in costume for more of the film, story wise I can't fault them. While the suits work well in Dinohattan, ...

Jim Sterling takes a look at Super Mario Bros. for The Escapist.

I don't think you can definitively say "Mario + City = Dinohattan" as far as inspiration goes. I mean, it could be, but... maybe they just wanted to have them on a skyscraper, or racing through a city? Heck, some Mario Kart courses just feel like they were pulled from nowhere-- Coconut Mal...

Thanks! Wish me luck in upholding the standard! =)

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, and it would mainly need streamlining. Lots and lots of streamlining.

Funny-- my wife and I were just watching a review of MP2 earlier, and I noted how it's funny that in this way, the Mario movie was almost more Nintendo-y than Mario, since that had the two-worlds thing they seem to enjoy going for.

Thanks! I'll see what I can do-- under the page constraints, I admit I did have a lot of exposition to get out without as much room as I'd have liked to space it out. Now that the stage is set, though, I hope I can let more of it flow freely. =)

So, it's no small secret that hey, I'm a Mario fan. And I'm also a comic book fan. As it so happens, I even like some comics based on Mario. Go figure. Something I'd hoped to do when I was with Nintendo Power was to revive the concept-- I figured at the time that it probably had a better chance of h...

Hmm, that last one is certainly inspired.

Very nice interview, I really wish there could have been bonus interviews with Wells on the SMBSS DVDs. I always found it weird that the show ended after one season. Here is was Nintendo all along. I think it was probably because Nintendo wanted to move on and promote Super Mario Bros. 3. Even as a...

This is very sad, he was the better Luigi IMO. Out of the 3. He actually wasn't the original live action Luigi, if you count that live action Mario Bros Atari commercial. I will have to add a memorial to him in the upcoming Mario Remastered project and SMB2. Indeed; that one seemed to establish Lui...

The Wii isn't quite done yet; I think they haven't stopped the North American run, and are even now bringing the Wii Mini to the States. Ultimateemail5000: An HD re-release of Galaxy would be glorious, though. Easy money. Heck, they'd probably drive Wii U sales if they just allowed it to do what Dol...

A belated Happy Birthday to Mr. Hoskins. =)

I love army builders. It's always better when there are some slight variances, too.

I agree, Zelda doesn't have a one design style. It's different in each game. If not it's because it used the same engine like OoT and Majora's Mask. This could have been a good movie, if it were made. But honestly, I wouldn't want the same studio who made that horrible TMNT movie, make any Nintendo...

I think someone said "it's a blast" once.

To Serum's point, I doubt anyone would make it up, though I can imagine they might misremember things, too.

That said, again, Mario Wiki seems to have a complete episode guide...

I wouldn't trust Wikipedia. I always saw it with SMB3 and SMW. I never liked the SMW cartoon but I enjoyed SMB3 better. I could be wrong but I swear that's what I saw out of "new" Mario cartoon material. But Wikiedia and the memory from over 20 years ago, it's hard to figure out what's re...
