A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

I wasn't aware KFC had done any promotional work for the film... Can you recall any details about it?

Great to have you! I see you've already posted in a couple threads... Feel free to post as much as you like in any thread, no matter how old it may be. Discussion is always welcomed.

May I ask how you found your way here?

That's actually a pretty cool dream. Enough details to work as an actual story, albeit an alternate take on what happens in the film. If you read the earlier scripts you can see a bit of dissent between the carnivores and herbivores as well as Koopa explicitly detailing herbivorism as what brings do...

You see, it parodizes what many people thought the actual movie did which was to slap the names of mario characters on to anything and call it an adaption (Which we all know by now, is definetly not the case). They're also parodizing how hollywood makes videogames now-a days. Which is adding lots o...

I always find great joy in tracking down a new piece of fan art and requesting permission to feature it, but I was especially happy to come across LemonSky's "Resident of Dinohattan" and BlueberrySnow's "Throwback of Dinohattan" , which are drawings of something we don't usually ...

Spanio's " Yah Gotta Buhlieve Mahrio " is colorful, cute, and Luigi doesn't have a mustache! I love how numanumaeh translated MEL's Goomba puppets into a drawing with her " Goomba " piece. Scales really work for it and bring a more reptilian flavor to the creature than we're used...

While it wasn't Toad coloring the childrens' book of dinosaurs in the movie (nor was the Goomba even an ape-head type), Teh-G-man's " Toad Likes to Colour " is a hilarious take on a classic character and cute moment of the film. Inkmonkey-Woodis has brought us another attempt at reconcilin...

EmperorNorton11's recreation of the iconic film poster with the traditional appearances of Mario and Luigi in his " Super Mario Bros. " piece is simply one of the best reconciliations of the two versions I've ever seen. The linework is clean, the coloring is stylish, and the characters the...

Hopper simply looks great in this piece. I like how the artist made his hair ridges actually somewhat resemble spiked ridges, which is exactly the look they were trying to evoke. The pronounced canines are also a great take, plus the Bob-omb "marching line" is thematically awesome.

Basil-Ovelby's " Do the Mario "... Wow. What can I say? We've had more problems with this piece screwing up our updates than anything else... Every hotlink just has to link to it and who can blame them? It's a great piece featuring nearly every character in the film. You typically don't se...

Some of you may not have seen it yet but there's a Machinima-style trailer of a gangster-themed Super Mario Bros. movie that's become increasingly popular over the last couple of days. Kk9oa_PiXAk It just saddens me to see the Mario characters get this kind of treatment. It's no different from inser...

I find it interesting that other than Mortal Kombat none of the movies on the Reelz Channel count-down are blatantly "video game" movies. Most on the list were adapted from games that had a filmable premise that wouldn't immediately strike you as having video games as an origin. Most of th...

You know, that does seem like an incredibly obvious origin for his hairstyle. Considering Toad was "Lemmy" in the early shooting script it would explain why Mojo wasn't given a hairstyle with a more apparent allusion to Toad's mushroom cap. A 'fro? Ha. Somehow I don't think that would hav...

Good plan, but don't get ahead of yourself! You still have one film to make, so get to writing and sketching!

I notice you mentioned a Patrick Tatopoulos in there and I just had a brainwave: do you think whoever wrote the script for Godzilla 1998 named its protagonist, Nick Tatopoulos, after this man? It might not be too much of a stretch, especially if he worked on the movie. I think you're exactly right....

Super Mario Bros.: An In-depth Look We explore this movie adaption full of creepy lizard-head thugs, John Leguizamo, and an underground fungus-filled metropolis. What could possibly go wrong? Simply put, this article is laughable. It's barely two pages long (and only then because of some trite page...

You should print the lyrics out and draw doodles of Goombas surrounding it singing and other characters... That'd be really cool!

loving all the updated additions! Pretty cool that Mark McCoy helped detail the police cars. I actually remember finding the article by Tyme while googling around one day, and glad that its here!! These all really help fill in on how the media felt about this film during the time and getting to kno...

Nice FAQ, 1upmushroom. Really gives an impression of what you're hoping to do. Realize it'll be a lot of work but you can surely realize bits-and-pieces of the project over time. I'd love to see sketches or doodles or anything you might make.

I would like to own it but don't personally have a Wii nor the funds to look into it. I'll be doing a lot of backtrack-ordering at some point. As I have the original All-Stars and All-Stars + Super Mario World I would love to add this to my collection. It's just a classic compilation.

Haven't seen you around so much the last few months so here's hoping you re-starting this project will signal the return of one of our oldest members.

Good luck and be sure to post whenever you have something to share. I'd be glad to discuss this project with you and ease it along.

Crazy stuff man! While reading that last part with the musical bit, I came up with a little song for it. Here it is. [song] Done, what do you think? Does it seem like a porbably song for that bit? That's really cool man! I didn't realize I hadn't responded to you when you first posted the song, so ...

Moved from Fanstuff to General by request of thread creator

I rarely post on these update threads as I'm so involved in the process of preparing for the updates I just don't feel a need to say anything once they're up. However, you would not believe the work Ryan did to make sure everything was posted exactly as it should be, even if it was incredibly minor!...

Someone bought it for $125, $75 under the starting price.

Was it anyone we know, at least?

The "hybrid" Koopa was always really cool and just superbly designed. Considering how much it would have been featured throughout the story it's surprising how they did go all-out for at least one scene. :) There was always hope that they cut de-evolution "tics", but Burman's sta...

For an update though, I finished a ton of frames today on paper, including Peach, Bowser, Toad, Mario, Goombas, Buzzy Beetles. Designs have also been finished for Koopa Troopa, Spikes, and for the good guys, Peachs' mushroom guards. Wow! I'm looking forward to this even more now that I'm hearing ho...

Great to hear. Really looking forward to hoe the voice-work brings the characters alive and complements the animation. Hope the Flash-route works out well for what you're trying to accomplish.

Looks like it's incognitus' turn now! Happy birthday, man. Seems most our birthdays are congregated near the end of the year.

If you scroll down fro the top of the thread a little you'll see that we discussed that.

I think a trailer would be good farther along production. Just show some minor, "everyday occurrences" scenes and end with a great demonstration of the SFX we'll be seeing. Like, build up to whatever it is Mario and Luigi need de-vo guns for and only hint at what they're using it against w...

Oh jeez... You're only drawing inspiration from the original Super Mario Bros., right? My guess would either be a surreal, Alice in Wonderland-like take on traveling through a pipe or going through a Warp Zone. That's about all I can figure.

Great update, marioblaster! I'm glad to hear you were able to sell off some of your props to fund at least some of the SFX work. Hopefully you can gather enough funds to get all the SFX done in a professional manner. Remember, our offer to help with a donations page is still on the table... And we c...

Due to the recent discovery of several articles published before the film's release (as I've posted in the Official Publication Thread) this thread has been updated to include statements from cast and crew. There's quite a bit and it can be difficult to understand due to lack of context so I'd recom...

I've reorganized the purpose of this thread to include all official publications rather than just magazine articles in light of Phlibbit and I finding several newspaper articles published before the film's actual release. You all should check out my main post and read the articles listed under Newsp...

Yeah, I caught this last night and was discussing it with Phlibbit. He may bid it on it considering his love for hybrid-Koopa, but we'll see. Maybe there'll be outside interest, in which case I'd like it to stay in the hands of our "group," meaning Phlibbit, Marioblaster, or even our new m...

Happy birthday Zack! I know you haven't been by in awhile but we do miss your presence and hope you can stop by again whenever you get the chance.

Great collection there, collector! The color-scheme of Yoshi on that pin just kills me. xD If you're a real collector I'd recommend tracking down the foreign releases, which have better qualities and some special features. The German DVD release of the movie has a "Making of" featurette yo...

Anyone know of any props for sale? I would love some for my collection. No replicas, please. MEL (MakeUp and Effects Lab) sells unpainted Goomba head busts for $60. That's the only official avenue I know of that still sells materials related to the movie. You can try contacting them here to see if ...

Really cool! Like Phlibb said, a devo chamber would be great and should be easy enough to make. I can also imagine an ape-head Goomba being easy to pull off with those round Lego heads.
