A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Well that's surprising. I myself did find certain qualities to be enjoyable, but I don't think I could ever find the whole to be good. That said, it appears those who've never seen the source material (the cartoon series on Nick) are generally more forgiving of the movie's flaws. Have you seen the s...

I must have missed your last two posts. Didn't know you were doing anything of the sort... Any updates, however minor, on either of these related projects?

Cactus responded again:

Looks pretty good to me.

Any way you can explain the problem in more detail so I can elaborate for Cactus?

billbot, I received the same response so at this point they're no longer listening. The only way to get their attention is to keep sending messages on this issue from all directions.

I have that region 2 release. Since all this new release stuff happened, I went back through my catalog to check on this stuff. Yes, it seems to be anamorphic, but I can't tell if there's any noticeable change in quality...perhaps they just "cut out" the black bars from the region 1 and t...

How about the Holland release? According to dvdcompare.net, the Holland release is both anamorphic and has 5.1 sound (the site also lists the American release as 5.1 which I thought was 2.0).

So I've been posting on FanEdit.org for some time and talked about SMB several times before, but I figured I'd bring up this whole "new package, same shit" issue in the hopes of getting some help in contacting Disney. Of course, I brought up the anamorphic/aspect ratio issue and was surpri...

Someone on another forum pointed out to me that this redesign of the packaging is probably just a subtle tactic to boost sells as "title-on-top" usually sells better, which is something they only bothered with because they were replacing the original DVD release anyways with the "eco-...

Sooo...not much help on the BV front...initially at least. Come on guys, let them know that we need an ANAMORPHIC release of this film. I'm surprised at how courteous and informative their response was. I would have expected either no response or something more dismissive, so I see this as a good s...

I feel ashamed that I held a copy of the SMB movie in my hand that very well may have been this "new" release. It takes a devoted fan to notice such minuscule differences. :wink: I've been wanting to contact whoever is in charge of holding us back from a proper release so I'm glad you post...

Well, to me, I don't see anything wrong with SMW. It's almost like a Galaxy/Galaxy 2 parallel. They both start off with an interesting new twists on gameplay, while staying completely "Mario." And the second installment just gets better, and they add Yoshi :D SMW has always been my favori...

Check out these gems I just found: http://stat001.ameba.jp/user_images/ed/3c/10097988516.jpg http://stat001.ameba.jp/user_images/17/d4/10107485997.jpg They're early flyers for the Tokyo Game Show in 1993. The first is advertising both Super Mario World and the movie, while the second advertises the ...

GamePro - January 1993, Vol. 42, Pg. 229 - Mario Goes to the Movies

Added to my initial post/list of references. As usual, credit goes to RetroMags for helping me find these scans.

Super Mario World, huh? Given your age I'd expect you to think SMB3 was the absolute pinnacle of the series, though I'm surprised you went this far back at all by excluding 64... I won't argue Sunshine. Loved the game but it left a lot to be desired. Thoughts on New Super Mario Bros. Wii? Needless t...

Did we seriously miss it?

Top-notch work, as usual. Makes me wish I had a head small enough to wear them as a mask.

I just love how Super Mario has permeated through world culture so much that people even consider playing Mario theme music with classical instruments, and that the world respects that.

The sheer amount of shots and scenes cut from the original film is enough to make SMB look complete in comparison. Seriously, over 30 minutes, if not more, was removed. And how did they fix it? They hastily added voice-over narration and montages. It does not work.

The merchandising for this movie was intense. While Mario has always been marketable, it's just astounding the things they presumed would sell because of the movie.

Have you seen Prince of Persia yet? That one looks pretty good. I think what people need to realize is that a successful video-game adaptation has to be, first and foremost, a good movie. Second, and only second, it must be a good adaptation of a video game. While SMB had the right idea, it just go...

Looks cool. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

I probably really wouldn't want to see a live action Super Mario movie it was completely faithful to the games, unless it was sheer badassery . Even then I'd have trouble dealing with a Mario movie that treats itself seriously; majority of Mario games these days are very aware Mario is "outdate...

Did that really just say... they're making a movie of... SPACE INVADERS? And they're also making a Pac-Man movie... I'd say making a new Mario movie really doesn't seem that strange at the moment. LOL, you can tell by the shots they chose of the Mario movie that they were trying to make it look bad...

The work is simply astounding. It looks to be near the same quality as in the film, with the only flaw preventing it from perfection being the lack of motor movement... This could seriously be used as a costume in a fan film, or at the very least a skit.

I was genuinely surprised and saddened when I heard this. My first thought was his wonderful role as Koopa, then my mind shifted to everything else he had done, and finally my regrets he won't be able to do more. He had a lot more roles in him.

RIP, Dennis.

Pretty cool, Howl, but I wish the head was bigger.

Don't forget the Nostalgia Critic's review at thatguywiththeglasses.com. I rather would, as indicated by ultimate. :lol: Good new review, Phlib. Wasn't too in-depth and didn't offer as much as some of the previous "positive" reviews, but it was rather insightful and I'm surprised that som...

So I've been working with a friend for nearly a year on a project hoping to research, document, and discuss the PokeGod phenomenon of the Pokemon franchise that took place in the late '90s. For those not familiar, the "PokeGod" phenomenon were the rumors and speculation concerning what &qu...

The Mario wiki currently uses the above Bob Hoskins quote on his page, which I think is rather distasteful for both the man and the encyclopedia... Any suggestions on a more endearing quote that could be used, which better presents Bob and the film?

No one in their right mind should support the motion capture technique I dunno, the actors who sign on to do these motion-capture things seem to endorse it. It makes "hitting their marks" easier, or so I've heard. I think the technology's getting better, though, and the characters may not...

Old news. Movie sucked then, it'll suck now.

I just found out I actually own that coloring book. It was sitting beside my bed for about two years now and I never noticed it.

So my mom found one of my trunks in her garage with half of my collection of Mario stuff. There was an unopened Sky package of SMB movie trading cards. Thought that was pretty cool.

Any information relating to Pokemon, particularly coverage of the Gold and Silver versions or new Pokemon such as Marill. It's for a research project with a friend archiving and documenting a particular part of the Pokemon phenomenon in much the same way your site is doing for the Super Mario Bros. ...

I was wondering if any of you happened to still have old magazines. I'm trying to look through a specific time-frame of video game and trading card magazines. So if anyone had old issues of EGM, GamePro, Game Informer, etc. or Pojo, Beckett, Scrye, etc. from between mid-1999 to mid-2000, I'd appreci...

That's the point. If he had made it a NES cart, that would be redundant because they already have an official SMB NES cart.

Triple-post!

Anyways, cool image. I think I've seen it around before. We should have really seen Hopper turn into that at some point.

Some of those I never caught, particularly the Tweeter reference. I don't even recall that enemy... It looks like that little white bear thing from Final Fantasy.

Phlibb needs to write up a definitive review of the movie highlighting all its accomplishments, as well as its downfalls (yet in a fair manner) that we can link to at the ready. In fact, the (soon-to-be) list of references would be enough to shut up anyone. You know, I always kind of thought I shou...
