A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

It's not like a game at all. It's more like a bad story that never ends.

Have you played it?

Both the original Paper Mario and its GCN sequel are great! Just don't get me started on Super Paper Mario.

Plus, in that scene, it's a group of video game villains that are having an intervention-type of thing. Still, it would be a shame if that scene is the only one where we see "real" video game characters. If Nintendo let Disney use Bowser, Mario shouldn't be that far off, IMO. It'd be the e...

That's a pretty cool promo, really. I got to around level 10 or so before I paused it. Maybe I'll pick it back up later. It's a cool tie-in and I like that they're at least putting forth an effort into making the "world" of this film a reality.

They would ask. It would've been an interesting cameo opportunity, not to mention it would tie into celebrating video game-related nostalgia. Plus remember Hopper had been in at least one CG animated film before his death--he may have been open to a small bit in this one.

^Totally. Stuff like that is what will make this movie nostalgic for a lot of people. Just like you'd have obscure or antiquated characters in Roger Rabbit or some vintage toys in Toy Story 3. It wouldn't make sense for them to use "new" designs on a lot of these characters because it prob...

This film is looking fantastic. Hopefully it'll do what Roger Rabbit did for incorporating multiple generations of cartoon characters in one film, but only for videogame characters. There's a great opportunity here for this film to speak to the last 25 years of videogame culture. If you want to see ...

Yeah, you should come next time. IMAX or not, it's incredible seeing it theatrically with a crowd of people. Plus, I don't think it would look good on IMAX since it's not one of those enlarged IMAX prints.

Yes--the plan for Wilmington is to put some prop stuff on display. We'll have some of the things we had in LA, but we'll also have a few new things as well

http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/Pics/SitePics/updates/nuartHeader2.png As promised in our last update, we've got some great content to share from our May 26 screening of Super Mario Bros. at the NuArt in Los Angeles: * You can view a gallery of these photos on the event's page , which will be up...

http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/Pics/SitePics/updates/nuartHeader.png We think it's safe to say that our 19th anniversary screening of Super Mario Bros. at LA's NuArt theater was a huge success. Here are some talking points for your reading pleasure: * We filled nearly 190 seats of 300 with 157 ...

That link you sent appears to be down, but yeah--the promotional plunger is totally legit. I have one myself. It's just a miniature plunger with the SMB logo and maybe (now on video!) on a sticker on the handle. Pretty cool.

We now have footage of Michael Criscuolo's introduction for the NYC screening! Michael discusses his many contributions to the film in a hilarious and insightful manner. Special thanks to Underbelly guest host Shawn Caple for the footage:

It's smudged (nay, "stylized") for a reason. True fans should be able to get the reference.

Looks like you finally made it into the club, 1upmushroom

Thanks for posting! I'm so glad that one of our forum members got to attend this event.

Got any more stories on how the night went? Talk to anyone else who was eager to see the film?

And...how was the film itself? How did it compare to seeing it on the big screen, compared to the DVD or VHS?

http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/Pics/SitePics/updates/screeningHeader3.png Our New York showings at the Sunshine Cinema last weekend were a success!

I think they're meant to be portable versions of them. Or at least, they complement the story and feel of its console counterpart.

Also, no Mario Party 9? I'm offended

Exactly, I agree. Yoshi was the absolute WORST in SMS, from a gameplay standpoint. He was much, much better in Galaxy 2. Although he's a separate character, in games where Mario interacts with him I just view Yoshi as a higher form of a power-up. Look at him that way and it might make a little more ...

Yoshi is the one true gimmick in the franchise?

I know you're not as down on Super Mario Sunshine as the rest of us, but come on now. F.L.U.U.D. is the definition of "gimmick."

Since we're incredibly busy with things like our theatrical screenings right now, it won't be posted for some time.

I believe he's re-writing the script anyway, though. Feel free to PM him to see if he'll send you a copy to peruse.

In the world of Dinohattan, I'd say that Redstar is right--there probably are different sizes. However, in terms of the DVD/theatrical poster cover, I'd say that it was an artistic decision. I'd bet that they're at the same height because it maintains the line of sight at the same level for that por...

http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/Pics/SitePics/updates/screeningHeader3.png As we mentioned last week, we now have a dedicated page up for our 19th Anniversary screenings of Super Mario Bros. Click on the banner above for the full details, but I'm going mention all of the upcoming screenings here...

Yeah. The others are more abstract feeling. SMB feels like a legend. SMB2 feels like a tripped out dream. SMB3 is on the right track, but SMW did it the best of those 4.

But I love the atmosphere and overall style. And Yoshi, of course. It's the last game that really felt like a Mario one until...Mario Galaxy? Maybe SM64DS.

I think it's because SMB3 is the one people really wanted. So they made you wait for it. Plus they had all that extra e-reader functionality.

Wow I forgot they did Yoshi's Island first. They must've really been holding out for SMB3.

Uuggghhgh you're right. See, they'll start running into problems. Not that much with naming it SMB2, but if they have a NSMB3 people will expect it to be like SMB3. Nevermind the fact that apparently NSMB2 has SMB3 elements. aaaargh

Wooo! Actually it doesn't look that good. Why name it SMB2 if it doesn't have Wart, etc.? And it's actually like, NSMB3 if they're going to start putting numbers with it. That makes no damn sense. at. all. New Super Mario Bros (which was for DS, although it didn't have "DS" attached) New S...

For the film but not disney. Here it's the film's 20th and they have a video game related film coming out.

I'm calling it now--SMB 20th Blu-ray day and date with the blu-ray release of this film. It makes perfect sense and it makes you wonder, to what extent SMB game characters will be in that film.

Great to have you, Angelo. Stick around!

I'd love to make it to the screening on the 28th, but as it turns out. My mom's birthday falls on that week and I'm not sure if i can do it. DDDDDDD: Could you perhaps make the 27th (Friday night)? That's when our guest speaker will be coming in while LBD_Nytetrayn will be traveling down from Canad...

We've updated the site with information on our upcoming screenings, particularly the New York event. To avoid redundancy most of the text has been posted under the 19th Anniversary Theatrical Screening Event rather than here. We have also updated the text for the About this Website and Staff pages. ...

The film does fit into the "Avengers" stuff. Norton was recast because there were problems between him and the studio. They tried to get him for the film but it just didn't work out. Not to mention there's the scene at the end of that film with Ross and Tony Stark :) I think they're also t...

Thor : Probably the weakest, but the costume and set design is superb. Bringing magic into a modern setting is always fun. Great casting all around. I wholly disagree. Thor is probably one of my favorite Marvel Studios films so far. I had absolutely no expectations for this and it managed to blow m...

Return to Oz is awesome. It kind of combines the second and third books into one streamlined film. Works pretty well, and it's creepy as hell. Also, if you're wanting adaptations of the books that are really faithful, check out the comic adaptations Marvel is putting out. I think they're already on ...
