A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Just one complaint... Please don't go with the firey aura-power-up sequence. Please... This might just be my personal preference speaking, but I am getting really sick of the Mario anime references appearing every. I honestly wouldn't have a problem with it if the "aura" was more fire tha...

There should be an eighth Koopaling named Mojo Koopa. That is all.

I just realized this one: the Mushroom King is literally a king composed of fungus during most of the movie! XD

I think the escape from the jail and ensuing police chase, leading into the Koopahari work tunnel would translate well into a roller coaster.

That's pretty cool, especially in the articles that mention the site and you by name!

Just noticed that it's 1upmushroom's 13th birthday today so I thought it'd be a good idea to make an official thread where people can give birthday blessings whenever a member's birthday comes 'round. So, lets all give a big happy birthday to 1upmushroom and congratulations on becoming a teenager! :...

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. Yeah, I figure they thought they could save the entire scene by just cutting out the parts where she's center-stage and in front of the children. I actually found two...

Okay, in my research for the movie I decided to visit the MEL (Makeup & Effects Laboratory) website , which worked in creating animatronics and costumes for the movie. Once there I found the following two photos from the Iggy and Spike "rap scene" that took place at the Boom Boom Bar. ...

I can see that working if they were small enough, otherwise a more fantasy-oriented setting would be more appropriate.

That does look kind of like Styrofoam but I actually thought it was concrete. I must be crazy to think moviemaker29 got a concrete prop.

It's unfortunate that the beginning of the interview wasn't recorded but I can't think of a funnier way for it to start than the way it does. :lol: There's just something special about talking to someone involved in the movie and hearing how bad an experience it was. When you love something like we ...

We might be finding out for sure soon enough.

Eggman? :lol: I don't recall where I heard this, whether it was a fanfic or some other source, but I've heard that the second movie would have involved Koopa's "brother" Wart. That idea doesn't sit entirely well with me though it could have worked out. Personally I would have preferred som...

Phlibbit wrote:I've always thought that the long-necked "goombas" represented the Koopa Troopas.

That was always my impression as well.

I definitely agree that the Piranha Plants should and could have been in the movie. Though I wonder if they'd resemble what the games put forward or if there would have been design changes to the extremes of the Goombas. :| It's kind of hard to think of what enemies or power-ups should have been inc...

And yeah, I really am glad that this site exists! Even though I don't post very frequently, I do check it nearly every day. In fact, if you'd have an interest, I'd like to work with you on putting together a prop & costume image/info archive for the site. I think there are enough items out ther...

Haha! I'm glad all of us are active on something around now.

Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

I gotta see these drawings... Dragon Ball-style Mario Bros.? This is going somewhere.

Re: AWESOME MYSTERY UPDATE COMING TODAY, 8/15/10 I wonder what it could be.

I wonder what it could be.

I think animating the entire scene is a good idea. I liked ultimateemail's version but it was a little disconcerting going from reality to a more basic style. Looking forward to an animesque Koopa; anime usually gets the villains right. Just something in the style.

I liked Daisy's mother's clothes with their heaviness and the spikes. It just felt right for her short time in the movie, though I am curious about the original (or alternate) look.

Hope you get on the scans/photos soon.

Very cool. I have some problems with Mario (not sure if it's the pose or the style; not bad, just something off) but overall a really amazing work. I love how badass Luigi looks. Didn't know the Hammer Suit could be done in such a way!

(And where's Peach's right leg?)

Nice to see the site isn't dead! I think the new 404 message is perhaps one of the better updates as people won't feel most of the information was just lost. Thanks for taking the time on that one. I know it was one of my annoyances.

Hey, as long as the props look good and the jokes are funny go for it.

A re-dub would be good, though a re-shoot wouldn't be too much work (other than getting the crew together again) as not much was going on. I just hope I can experience the first episode at some point the way it was intended. My above complaint is more personal preference as I prefer the "born i...

I actually laughed at the end. The look on Mario's face when he did that was great. :lol: The big problem is, obviously, the sound. It was almost impossible to understand anything throughout the video. Other than that my complaints are minor: I would have liked the mustaches to be more firmly attach...

Not directly related to SMB but I figured it was interesting enough to bring up... I was skimming through the March 1999 issue of Game Informer and came upon a bit of news suggesting that Samantha Mathis was planned to play Jill Valentine alongside Jason Patric as Chris Redfield in an upcoming Romer...

It's just one of those weird topics. I focus on any given topic for months at a time and never once dream about it, but the one day where I relaxed my mind on the subject I have a dream about it. Only thing I can think that may have triggered this dream was my recent return to this forum, though I w...

Good to hear, though every time we bring up a potential find or mention something movie-related you always comment that you already have it... You've been holding back on us for too long!

I'm glad you've found yourself your first new affiliate. RetroWhiz looks like a fun site so I'm looking forward to following it through its development.

I'll look around later today and see if I can turn up any potential affiliates.

I...have the Japanese move program. It's really cool, haven't looked at it in a while. The text is all in japanese of course...any easy ways to get it translated? Like maybe a picture to text thing? So no indication of deleted scenes or other interesting imagery you can draw from what's shown? I ha...

The Affiliates section of the site is unfortunately unfilled, which I believe is at least one factor in the low exposure our site has had. I think it would be a great help to our group and the future of the movie to reach out to other communities, which I've no doubt must have a scattered few SMB mo...

Perusing eBay auctions and found two items that might be of interest to anyone here: UK Quad Movie Poster and Japanese movie programme The movie brochure features scenes and characters from the movie, so it might depict deleted scenes. The poster is about $30 and the programme $16, though the poster...

I believe he meant this depiction of Bowser, though that sculpt is definitely a closer representation. Where did you find it? (And when quoting it's best to cut out everything but the part you're replying to, or at least bold the relevant part. Saves room and makes it easier for us to know what you'...

And let's not forget that infamous name change. Its Aang dammit! Not Oong. (That's how they pronounce it.) Yeah. Shyamalan explained his reason for changing the pronunciation of the characters' name was to be more "authentic" to the "Asian" source. This after his constant argume...

I just had a dream wherein I went to a convention with a few people and ran into Bob Hoskins and a non-speaking John Leguizamo (who later became a non-speaking Fiona Shaw) at a nearby Taco Bell. Dressed in a home-made Mario costume somewhat based off the movie's design, I gathered the courage to tal...

It's almost as if it were a monster trying to be a human being. :mrgreen: Morph-osaurs: How shape-shifting dinosaurs deceived us DINOSAURS were shape-shifters. Their skulls underwent extreme changes throughout their lives, growing larger, sprouting horns then reabsorbing them, and changing shape so...

That's unfortunate. I've had trouble finding a place to be before as well, so no pressure.

Looking forward to any continuation of these projects though. It was good work and I've noted some people on other forums interested in both this and your bootleg of the SMB movie.

Never watched the cartoon--I'm sure it's loads better. I liked the film on that sole basis that it's a Shyamalan film--that's my perspective. Like I said, looking at it from that angle, it's a much better film than his past couple. The difference in quality is almost incomparable. The cartoon has w...
