A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Totally agree with your comments. And stay tuned--I'll post each chapter as I get through it.

Okay, so I had an idea. Most of you guys have seen this book, From Microchips to Moviestars: The Making of Super Mario Bros., but everyone hasn't had the chance to read it. So, in blog fashion, I'm gonna quickly go through the book, chapter by chapter, and dish out the more interesting stuff the boo...

There's no way they won't release this in the states. If they didn't, it'd be a big mistake. Off the top of my head there isn't really anything for Wii this holiday that I HAVE to have (DKCR excluded).

I just wonder if the history book will mention the SMB film...

Awesome pic. It'd be great to track these things down today. The mechanics are so intricate for those things--I'm surprised how close of a match the foam rubber ones are to the effects pair.

Any idea on how many pairs of hero effects boots were made?

Oh nice--I had seen that Markee magazine article on the internet before, but they must have just recently added in that PDF of the actual file. It's only the first page though...are the rest on there? And there's yet another "Damn Phlibbit has stuff but won't get it on the site" moment, in...

Well, let me coax you a little. Metroid: Zero Mission for GBA is a remake/re-telling of the original NES Metroid--it's amazing. Metroid Fusion is also good too. I've been really wanting to play Metroid 2 for GB but haven't got around to it yet...same goes for Super Metroid, although I'm 3/4 of the w...

Here's the thing: Yoshi, in-game, is just as ambiguous in regards to species as any of the other SMB characters. Mario and Luigi are human, of course. The Princess seems to be human, but it's kind of cool that this notion is contested in both the games and in the film. One big reason why the writers...

Since ultimateemail5000 already brought this up, I figured I'd make a thread about it.

I looooove me some Metroid. Dunno why they've let you down, but I love 'em. I had problems with Prime 2/3, but they're still pretty dang good.

On imdb I noticed Mark was also in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (he was part of April's camera crew in the scene with Chief Sterns), just like Jeff Goodwin! It interests me because I often categorize that movie and SMB as the same kind of film: A large children's-based franchise that came to the bi...

Here are my initial thoughts on the interview, blog style: I wonder how long the "Lizard Man" scene was. Was it just a small cut thing or did he actually speak to them in the film? And like I showed you before, there's the little thing in the coloring book with Mario and Luigi in their cel...

Here's what everyone's been waiting for: * Our exclusive interview with Mark Miller and Michael Harding! Steven did a great job conducting this, and Mark and Mike were wonderful interviewees. Not only is it extremely entertaining, but we find out about even more previously-unknown deleted footage, a...

Those are some awesome pics! The stompers seem to be in pretty decent condition, considering their age and their foam rubber makeup. How about taking a top-down shot as well? Are they 100% foam rubber? I always wondered how those things would hold up with the actors wearing them. It's awesome to see...

Ahhhh! The suspense is killing me!

I've got a small (but cool) update for today:

* The Actor Profiles page is now live--and our first profile is for Mojo Nixon, who we recently had the privelege of interviewing.

What does everybody think of the new link colors? And what about the new character profiles section?

I really like both things, obviously

Unfortunately I don't think Disney/MGM Studios (now Disney's Hollywood Studios) has them out anymore. Perhaps they're in storage or were sold or something.

Do you remember where/which ride they were in?

I mean, yeah--that shot in the elevator is what makes the film. Mario and Luigi both accept that they need to be heroes. They get their traditional outfits. They do the awesome "glug glug glug" handshake. They have the Thwomp Stompers. And the score is blazing! For that one moment--they go...

Wow, finally! It's good to see that at least one of these things is still out there!

I can't wait to see what it looks like after you get it cleaned up and get some more pictures of it, as well as the bottom of the boot! Awesome!

More updates! * First thing is just a heads' up--I've updated the forums to the newest phpBB version, hopefully everything will be okay. More to come! EDIT: 8/27 I finally got all this stuff done. The highlight here is really the character profiles! Enjoy! * I'm trying something new with the links. ...

Awesome! Can't wait!

I've really seen a trend in the last five years or so alone--the opinion on this film is quickly changing from "the worst movie ever made" to "okay, it's not that bad," to even "I always liked this movie." Consider this--it used to be on IMDB's top 100 lowest rated movi...

We should try seeing if we can find that extra next time we go through the film...

Any reason those two aren't mentioned? Yeah, because I just haven't gotten to them yet--it's an ongoing section. The ones I posted today--I have video for. The other scenes you mention will all be included in due time. I just didn't want to tackle stuff like the Devo chamber scene just yet--for var...

Hope you guys enjoy all this stuff--I stayed up WAY too late to get it done, lol. It's also worth noting that I jumped the gun just a bit--although the deleted scenes videos should work, the new "Making of" video is still uploading. It should be up soon though--just search for "The Ma...

Redstar wrote:Second: The Koopalings and several other enemies are named after American musicians. I thought it'd be funny if Mojo was referenced in that way.

I never thought of it that way! Great comparison.

First, Bower Jr. is an abomination and shouldn't be spoken of ever again.

Second, Mojo Nixon is awesome.

LOTS of cool stuff for today, guys: * Remember the Making of Super Mario Bros. featurette that I discovered and posted way back in 2007? Well, I've tracked down a different version of that. What's different, you ask? Well, it seems to be the "original" video--the one I posted in '07 had a ...

Yeah, that's the only new dialogue. I found the new picture while flipping through the "Microchips & Moviestars" book last night, while I was working on another section of the site...

If you haven't yet read the Mojo Nixon interview, now is the perfect time.

And if you have...well now there's an additional couple of pieces of dialog and a really cool additional picture...

Here are the latest updates: * We now have four new additions to our affiliates page: Classic-Mario.net. Great site; full of lots of Mario nostalgia. Donut Plains. Another good Mario site, has some pretty good specials. Mario Mayhem. Has Mario game info, as well as a cool merchandise page and fan co...

UPDATE 2/21/11: The interview has been edited and trimmed as well as received several new questions/answers. UPDATE 9/20/10: The interview has been updated with revised text and additional pictures. UPDATE 8/31/10: The transcription of the interview is now finished and posted on the site! It can be...

I too have 3D Dot Game Heroes , and yes, it is awesome . I'm really liking Atlus as a publisher right now--I always liked some of their old stuff, but they're really being awesome right now. Are you sure you have to be online to share characters? I thought the game didn't even have that functionalit...

Nice thread, Redstar. Happy birthday, 1upmushroom! Get anything good?

I really think it's awesome. I especially appreciated the one site that said something along the lines of "I don't see why there isn't a better special edition of this movie out there, especially considering the wealth of information on sites like the Super Mario Bros. Movie Archive..."

Nice find! More Iggy/Spike rap stuff is great. Now that dancer in the pic is actually in the film, but it's not as close-up as that. I wonder what event that was where Mathis and the Goomba were at? Are they reading/holding the Japanese movie program? Ack, and also notice Bob Hoskins' head poking ou...

UPDATE 5: Well, it seems like this story has been picked up on a number of websites...seems like it started on The Examiner and it took off from there. Here are some links: http://www.examiner.com/canada-nintendo-in-canada/super-mario-bros-movie-gets-dvd-re-release http://paulgalenetwork.com/home/?...

I figured this "new" release had been out for a while, especially when Restar said that he picked his up a while ago. Just seems like I'm the only one that noticed the difference, lol

Incognitus is right. Daisy's mother is wearing the clothes on the card--she's just wearng a Goomba jacket over it.

Glad you liked the interview! For a lot of these kinds of things, you just have to do a little bit of research. It'll go a long way.

It's finally up--an exclusive SMB Archive interview with Mojo Nixon! Start reading.
