Slim and none? Think again!

Happy New Year!

This weekend's update sees lots of merchandise coming your way! * We now have a complete archive of the Skybox trading card set --all 100 cards, holograms, and promos are up for your viewing pleasure. * We also have something for the Other category under Merchandise--the Audio Poster Pack, complete ...

They pop up on eBay every once in a while (Half.com also seems to have them periodically). They're in lots of different formats across the world too--just keep looking and you'll find one eventually.

I think it looks great. And don't feel bad about the tracing--how else could you get a completely accurate Mario in that style? It's also really cool to see you rework Luigi in that style instead of keeping it a simple color swap.

Welcome!

Do try to find your coloring book; that'd be great to see. I also have a few of the coloring books and I do remember having colored in the first page that has a "stage 2" Koopa pointing at the reader with the Devo chamber in the background.

I thought it was also pretty funny that Hoskins had no mustache and Leguizamo did. And although we now know what a circa-'93 Leguizamo w/mustache would've looked like, I wouldn't have the film any other way. Having said that, I wonder if someone could take Leguizamo's head from the interview and fin...

I was really grateful for you discovering that toy commercial, billbot. It's truly one of the best "hidden gems" discovered so far, and IMO is on the same level as discovering a deleted scene. So don't give up hope for finding the other one. Every time I think we've found all we're gonna f...

You're totally right, Redstar--this is a really good article. The author hits the nail on the head when he says that the chief reason the SMB failed is because it didn't know what it wanted to be. I totally agree with this and have actually talked to people about this in interviews we've done (some ...

Hopefully it's okay if I post a manip of mine in here: http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/pics/forumstuff/SMB_luigisame.png Here's the story behind this one: some of the biggest "complaints" about the film center around the characterization of Luigi. Some of the most common ones include: &...

All I can say is, really ? How is this any more faithful than the actual movie? Simply naming the characters after those in the games and giving them poorly-inspired color-schemes does not make for an adaptation. There's nothing in this world that clearly connects it with Super Mario Bros. It's jus...

Those pages are stunning, Carl. It totally reminds me of the kind of comic art in the mid-90s and would make a great adaptation. I too liked the slight modification on the lizard-head Goomba and the "game graphic" points display. I could see some more exaggerations like this work in the re...

My assumption would be that one of the MEL guys did it. Didn't they also send some Goombas out to thinks like trade shows, etc.? Off the top of my head, wasn't Paul Elliot involved in some of that?

^It is in fact "What!? Nooo!" Also, I wanted to point out the awesome new clip posted this week with FOOTAGE of the Iggy and Spike rap: jLMSFOES8HA Starting at :26, you can hear the lyrics if you know what you're listening to: Koopa The party Poopa the Pooper Scooper King Koopa He says tha...

Okay, go with this idea here: If the film had been successful enough to warrant a sequel, it would probably have been released in 1995 or 1996. What kinds of songs would've been used on the soundtrack? The original had songs like "Speed of Light" and "Walk the Dinosaur," and othe...

The novelization is a good read. It's similar to the film we got in terms of plot, but it's somewhat expanded and has a darker overall tone. Pretty impressive now that we know how many drafts of the screenplay that there were and how many rewrites took place. For a start, look at the page on Random ...

The real problem with this article is that it seems to have been written solely to bash the movie under the guise of a comparison piece. The suggestions for a "good" Mario movie would work for a cartoon, maybe, but not for a film. This is just another unqualified fan thinking they could h...

You would be correct. A majority of the other tv spots use "I've got the power." Actually, the trailer uses it as well.

It's definitely the song on the commercial I'm posting this weekend.

There's also another commercial that's similar, but it features "Super" instead of "Jump" and has Walk the Dinosaur instead--I'll also be posting that one.

Thanks for all the help, LBD. It's really appreciated! On a related note, our favorite movie is available for the low, low price of $5 at many Wal-Mart stores across the country. And I've done my part to...spread the word. Here's our first example--Wal-Mart "A." Here, SMB can be found in t...

Here's something I think would've been cool: Does anyone remember those cool Power Rangers toys (from the original series) where they would have the costume on, except for the head, and there would be a button on the back where you could press and their head would instantly switch into the helmet? ...

That's so funny you mention this. Like Redstar said, we actually do have this commercial and it'll be posted this weekend. I'm glad you could identify the song! Also, in case you don't remember, this commercial also features sprites from Super Mario World.

3000th board post!

Well, if you're interested, someday I can try to write a complete French script of the movie, I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist anywhere on the internet and it could be an exclusive addition to your website. Welcome to the board! And yes--I would be delighted if you would sometime write an article o...

I disagree. I'm the staunchest critic of the SMB game series, but seriously--Super Mario Galaxy 2 was the best Mario game since SMW, hands down.

While we're on the subject, yours truly sports a pretty suave goatee.

Also, I love the idea of bookending the animation with a live-action segment. That would really make the whole project seem complete.

That's a really good idea--and one that I've considered. Actually, that's going to be the entire point of the "editorials" section is to cover topics like this. However, that section is kind of on the back burner until I get all of the actual film content up.

I also meant to mention this--every year we have a "universal gift" game where we buy a $25 gift and draw numbers and exchange gifts. This year, the gift I gave were DVDs of Inception...and Super Mario Bros.

I had a pretty good Christmas. In terms of Mario stuff, I got some Mario/Yoshi sleep pants, haha! Got the Batman Returns Expanded Archival Collection soundtrack--good stuff. Also got a new bulb for my LCOS HDTV and now it looks better than ever! Good thing too, since I'm basically snowed in at the m...

Early scripts referred to them as "Banzai Bills" while the film itself never labels them in any way... While they may more appropriately be named "Bullet Bills" I don't think we can be sure what the latest consensus was come shooting-time. Also important to note is that differen...

Yeah, it's the same guy.

-Some people think 'Somewhere My Love' (or 'The Dancing Goombas' Song', as I affectionately call it for obvious reasons) was added in because the tune sounds very similar to the underwater theme from the original Super Mario Bros. I've always thought this--I'm surprised someone else made that conne...
