A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

I imagined the ride being like a cross between "Dinosaur" from Animal Kingdom and "The Great Movie Ride" from Hollywood Studios. I figure the people would ride in Dinohattan-like tram cars that seat 3 or 4 rows of people, but move fast and bumpy like the Dinosaur ride. The ride w...

With people like billbot, marioblaster, and Howlrunner I think it'd be simple and fairly inexpensive to produce quality replicas. Just a matter of the interest and funds. I'd chip in for a pair for the right project. Actually, I've never built a replica prop or costume before. I mean I've made make...

billbot85

once again held in suspense, lol. You can cut the tension with a knife. As always, I love reading the interviews so I'll be looking forward to all of them

billbot85

I'm really looking forward to this one, especially since I've been thinking about buying a goomba head bust and building a replica costume. Here's my questions: Is it possible for a fan to build his own goomba replica and use servo motors from remote controlled cars (to make the mouth open and close...

billbot85

wow, this is exciting!! Here is a question I have. Since Jurassic Park was coming out the same year as Super Mario Bros, was there any connection or comparison between the Yoshi made for the movie and the dinosaurs made for Jurassic Park? Also, were there any deleted scenes that involved Yoshi? Or w...

I got this book for myself a few months ago, and I love it! I love the pictures, and the details about the construction of the goombas, and how the actors prepared for their roles like Phlibbit said. Definitely a great read and pretty cheap if you manage to find it on amazon :D Another thing to note...

billbot85

Yoshi as a brontosaurus? Now that's something I never considered haha. I always considered Yoshi more like a T-rex, probably mostly because he was bipedal and did eat enemies. But, on the other hand he was like an advanced dinosaur, eating both berries and enemies, pirahnna plants, ect. so it was li...

rockin' interview! I enjoyed it very much, thanks for doing it and sharing Steven! Makes me wish we saw more of Mark as the "Lizahd Man" lol, especially flicking the cigarette at Mario and Luigi in the cages. :D I kinda figured that they bonded with other cast members despite how bad the f...

billbot85

love the character profiles! Especially the tie-ins to their origins in the games. Since I do community theatre, In-depth character descriptions always fascinate me :D I always wondered why the King's de-evolved form was fungus. I thought everyone in this alternate dimension evolved from dinosaurs? ...

billbot85

awesome find man!! Its amazing to be able to obtain a prop like this, and especially in such good condition! Do you mean you saw it at Disney's MGM Studios in 1993? I was just there a few weeks ago and had I known it was there I woud've definitely taken pictures for everyone. Thanks for sharing with...

Looks like the police car had appeared on ebay recently, but too bad it was incomplete

billbot85

haha I loved that "wanna cigarette" scene! Just the fact she offered the goomba a cigarette shows off the comedic tones that the movie was trying to tie in. I enjoyed this version of the featurette a lot more. Just getting to see of those deleted scenes, and the extended footage of the goo...

billbot85

I already like this featurette version better than the other one. Lot of cool stuff noticed. Looking forward to Part 2 to be up!

billbot85

this is really exciting! Questions I have: Mark: What was the overall mood of the extras during filming? Did they enjoy being in the movie? Did they have a different attitude towards the experience than the main cast had? Mike: How heavy/hot/uncomfortable were the goomba costumes? Were they really h...

billbot85

Happy birthday dude! welcome to the beginning of teen years haha

billbot85

loved reading the interview Phlibbit!! Great to hear about the movie experience through an actor, especially Mojo (even though he says he's not)! I always thought he seemed like a really interesting guy to talk to. Really informative interview, this site just gets better and better :D If you don't m...

billbot85

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 ...

billbot85

hey guys, do any of you have an old Super Mario Bros movie mario action figure i could buy?i dont care if its incomplete or loose or if it has some little paint scuffs, depending on the condition, i will pay up to 40 dollars http://cgi.ebay.com/1993-Ertl-Super-Mario-Bros-Mario-/200474795174?pt=LH_D...

billbot85

I must say, Howlrunner, your work on the two goomba busts and the devo gun has inspired me to build a replica goomba costume myself. I contacted the seller and he still has goomba busts available for sale. Just a matter of me having the money/time to and go and invest in such a project.

billbot85

I'm excited for the mystery update too! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, just got back from vacation. My sister used to live in TN so I know how crazy the weather can be. Best of luck finishing the surprise Ryan, I'm really looking forward to it

billbot85

awesome. just simply AWESOME!

billbot85

Here is my email: Hi there, I noticed that Buena Vista has released a new copy of Super Mario Bros (1993) that has a different cover from the 2003 release. However, the film is still not anamorphic, and therefore does not fit well onto widescreen televisions, making the picture stretched out and not...

billbot85

Just sent an email. Requested an anamorphic release and deleted scenes. Got my fingers crossed

billbot85

I'm guessing there still aren't any special features added either, right?

billbot85

haha love it! Especially the artwork with Luigi looking behind his back. I found a French website that has a thread on the merchandise, pictures and all. I had to sign up to view the pictures, so let me know if you guys can't view it. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&tl=en&a...

billbot85

just wanted to mention that in the Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World cartoons, Mario's voice sounds alot like Bob Hoskins' voice. Yeah they both had the same gruff-like voice, kinda how you would picture a plumber talking (at least for me, anyway). Even in the cartoons, Mario and Luigi came ...

billbot85

AMAZING job on the two goombas!! They look just like the originals. That's really cool that the MEL company sent you photos of the ones they have on display. If costumes could be made these would be so awesome on Halloween or at a con. Just their sheer size I think would have people totally freak.

billbot85

I guess the Walkie Talkies do exist

R.I.P. Dennis Hopper. I finally saw Blue Velvet and Easy Rider, and it helped me realize his versatility as an actor. He'll definitely be missed.

billbot85

wow this is amazing work!! You did this yourself? Great job!! It looks exactly like the goombas in the movie. I be it would also make for an awesome costume for Halloween or a convention. Looking forward to seeing the work on the body.

billbot85

Great article! Thanks for sharing. I remember reading about the fact that the name Mario came from NOA's landlord haha. But I can understand why he doesn't want anything to do with the franchise.

billbot85

thanks for uploading these. the bad voice acting and very fact this was made for children makes it a gem. Luigi sounds like something out of the Godfather to me...kinda makes his dialogue with Daisy that much creepier haha. I always enjoyed books with audio when I was a kid. one thing I noticed...th...

billbot85

thanks man! Won it on invaluable.com with a ton of other figs and the Devo Chamber. I just ordered the Microchips to Moviestars book, too. I was hoping to post a couple pics of my entire collection...unless everyone has seen enough lol.

billbot85

Finally managed to get one! Hoping to post better pics soon that aren't via cell phone

billbot85

it would've been amazing to see that on the big screen (or scary depending on how old you were). Maybe if some theatrical reels of the movie still exist they might have that scene on there? If so, it would be cool if local independent movie theaters could do late-night screenings of the movie. Makes...

billbot85

That would be great if you could play as Luigi as first player, considering he's my fav character. I thoroughly enjoyed this game, but unfortunately only got 5 non-sparkly stars because I died over 8 times trying to beat Bowser, lol. Though I did help my friend get the 5 sparklies on his file 2p mod...

billbot85

I think casting Koopa as "human" was a stroke of genius. Really, it's hard to take a non-human villain seriously. If Koopa was visually based on the game version, then it would definitely have costume goofiness in moving the mouth, which would only contribute to the audience not taking hi...

I started reading both scripts. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. The first script is exactly how I had pictured what a Mario Bros. Movie would look like.

billbot85

Nice!! There are some pages in that helping prove there are deleted scenes right? I'm actually getting a big package soon of SMB merchandise. Hopefully I will be able to post pictures when I get it.

billbot85

so....I know I'm late on saying this, but I just wanted to say I was successful in finding all 6 movie action figures MOC, and scoring the Devo Chamber w/box off ebay for only $30!!! I also have 2 Marios MOC, but took Iggy and Spike out of package to be a part of the Devo Chamber display. hopefully ...
