A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Luigi = Salvador Dali?

I guess it works.

Prime Evil

Ah, yes, yes, yes, now I remember! I know what you're talking about...maybe that is the case.

Trouble is, there was never any mention about Portal-Keepers in the movie to the best of my knowledge. Cutting-room floor material perhaps?

Prime Evil

I just noticed that Lena's red shawl is reminiscent of the one Daisy's mother wore in the beginning of the film. Not entirely the same, but similar enough it makes me think perhaps Lena was trying to get "in-character" for the role of a Portal-Keeper? ...A Portal-Keeper? It's a new one on...

Where can you find one of those Bob-Ombs at Potropica? At a store, where in the game. It's Proptopia , a forum where prop-builders gather and show off their props, usually GB Proton Packs. Sonicblaster (known here as Marioblaster ) made a replica of the Bob-ombs from the movie, and I got one with a...

^Now that is a valid argument. However, when you think about what that means, she's just the "Mrs." companion to the name that follows. So, if she was Mrs. John Doe, she would be the wife of John Doe. If she was Mrs. John Doe, the Fourth (or, Mrs. John Doe IV), she would be the wife of Jo...

One thing I'm really noticing in this script is the overabundant use of making sure that everyone knows that Mario's last name is "Mario." And in Mario's conversation with Daniella, it seems like Mario's middle name is also Mario! Not only that, but he's apparently the fourth Mario to be ...

Actually, I've never built a replica prop or costume before. I mean I've made makeshift low-budget costumes like a ghostbuster uniform and a basic Cpt. Jack Harkness costume, but never a real movie-quality replica. Don't get me wrong, I am still interested in trying to build a goomba costume, I jus...

Let me guess...The fungus is made of aerosol insulation stuff. It looks like it's got chicken-wire underneath to give it support. Great job on that. I've always thought that stuff looked like the SMB fungus... Does it hold paint well? I may have to use that stuff if and when I go to make a batch of ...

Prime Evil

Don't tell me you're actually going to do this under the premise of making an independent film!

I can see where it might be a good idea. Sort of a real-life National Treasure, no?

It sounds very Hunter S. Thompson-esque. I'll have to see this one.

Bollywood really needs to take a look at Super Mario Bros..

There's a game on the Miniclip gaming website called Dirk Valentine and the Fortress of Steam . We should use the gameplay mechanic of the "chain gun" for the Chain Chomps that we were discussing in another thread. Also, the Dinohattan levels provide a great opportunity for in-jokes within...

Prime Evil

I was in bed last night thinking about what kind of quirk the Chain Chomps should have to make them different from Batman's grapple-gun. I realized that the Chain Chomps themselves (i.e. what's being fired) should have a degree of sentience or A.I. The Bob-ombs are in some ways sentient, so why not ...

Prime Evil

For me, it's the overall idea, or "silhouette," that matters. And hey--if you actually use that thing, you never know when you might need a tape measure. Luigi, I expect, would certainly find one useful for measuring how much pipe to cut off.

Prime Evil

Ah, the Moto Bug! (I think it's called "Kubota" or something in the Japanese version; all I know is the English manual's names for the Badniks. Yeah, yeah, they're not supposed to be referred to as Badniks, but I like the name.)

The album came out in 1978 and still has a massive cult following to this day. Check Youtube for songs.

Just be glad Uwe "Weevil" Boll didn't get his grubby little protuberances on SMB.

"Open to suggestions," eh? All right then, I'll suggest a backstory. Since Koopa's brief, unsuccessful invasion of our world, we've become more and more aware of the Dinoverse below us. In Daisy's honor, the University has created a dimensional tunnel a la Stargate with a Bullet Bill train...

Prime Evil

Um...yes, well, I'm sure we've all seen the movie, so your concern about spoilers, while understandable, is a moot point.

(Unless, of course, you're posting this from 1993, which means that you might be caught in a temporal paradox.

RE: Redstar, JKA12002

It's not so much that the Goombas and Koopa Troopers (Troopas?) are treated as different things; it's simply that the look of some of the Goombas is inspired by the Koopa Troopas. It's a little more subtle, but still there.

Now, my next mission is to find out if the functioning hero boots are indeed gathering dust in a crate inside the Disney Archives in Burbank like I think they are... http://stephensonstrategies.com/images/2007/11/04/Government_Data.jpg Congrats on the score!!

I kinda imagined that Koopa was somehow resurrected from his slime state and evolved back into his human form, but maybe a little more grotesque and reptillian because they could not fully evolve him, and taking over Dinohattan again. Daisy is a part of a resistance group of freedom fighters (kinda...

Prime Evil

Exactly--it would have been a perfect "sequel" item. Something that I have in mind--remember the scene in the film where the Marios use their plumbing knowledge to screw up Koopa's Tower and freeze the pipes? I always thought an interesting aspect of a potential sequel could explore the M...

One thing I noticed was that in the beginning of the movie, when Iggy and Spike are stalking daisy in their Taxi cab, Spike's driver side door is there. But later when they are stalking Daniella after they get out of the restaurant, the driver's side door is missing!! You can see it int eh shot whe...

RE: Incognitus I'm so jealous that you got to see the Star Wars on Stage thing. Not because I'm a SW fan myself, but because I'd just like to see what happens.

I'm trying to come up with a nice cheap substitute to get the SMB movie fungus look.

Call me when you get ahold of something. I'm looking for some Red Weed for a War of the Worlds diorama I've got planned.

Prime Evil

Looking at the Chain-Chomp right now, it reminds me of a cross between Pac-Man and the grapnels fired by the "mechanical shark" in James and the Giant Peach (the movie, also produced by Allied Filmmakers).

Also, I suspect that it would have been considered a ripoff from Batman.

Prime Evil

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 mov...

A grappling hook pistol? It'd be nice to have if the Thwomp Stompers failed mid-jump and there wasn't any fungus in sight.

Now THAT would be cool. I'm just trying to throw everything I can think of at the riders. And I just thought of one more thing: The train goes through a series of Mario Pipes that take it to different sections of the Dinoverse (I can't think of a better name, sorry) or blasts the train in different...

The funny thing is, though, there isn't an exact point where one could sense the movie self-destructing or falling apart, at least not from my point of view. It does a good job of keeping its momentum throughout. There's an online review that disagrees with my opinion--the review states that SMB tak...

Well, this was a '93 movie. I imagine such a ride would have been built and operated then , when animatronics would be their only option. Ohhh, okay, I see where you were going with this. I was assuming that you meant "if they were to do it *now*." Regardless, I had another idea: it's an ...

Holograms? Blasphemy! Animatronics by MEL or nothing at all! :shock: I really don't think animatronics would work right for what I'm trying to describe. Remember, the Bullet Bill train is moving, too. Besides, theme-park animatronics are notorious for malfunctioning or breaking down. Think of Kongf...
