A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Perfect! We've decided to host fan art for the film on DeviantART rather than the site itself, so any new submissions are appreciated.

Looking forward to your next character pieces and hopefully a comic!

Hey, if the King could come back from being Fungus for 20 years then it shouldn't be too difficult to bring Koopa back after only two weeks.

Do you have a DeviantART account? You should submit these pieces so that we can showcase them under our group #SuperMarioMovieArt.

This is really great. I'm looking forward to seeing you draw the rest of the characters. You have a style that really adds fun to them! I also like your idea for doing a comic, though redrawing the entire film would obviously take some effort. Have you considered doing a one-shot mini-comic or even ...

I think that, in the end, "Super Mario Bros. 2: The Rise of Bowser" really is the best title for this project. Would you like me to change the thread's title to reflect that? Also, when will we start seeing some concept art! You've really made me passionate about seeing just how Bowser loo...

I understand this is something that has been asked more than once, but what is the story behind the "de-evolution" scene being originally in the theatricle cut and then removed for future DVD/VHS releases...you know...there is a strange theory I have. Battlefield Earth was re-cut for home...

That's because Blade Runner is too obvious a comparison. Besides, moviebuffmel has shown that anything can remind you of the movie in some way.

I think that the dull black background on the main page of the website should be replaced with a design of wrought iron steel covered in fungus or a grimy brick wall covered in Mario themed graffiti. I know a guy who might be able to whip something very professional up-- let me know if you want me ...

Because George Romero wrote a fantastic screenplay for it and was set to direct it when Bernd Eichinger annoyed him to death about changing it and finally George quit the project in disgust. Thanks for nothing, Bernd Eichinger. Resident Evil perhaps rivals even Super Mario Bros. in adaptations that...

There were a lot of things about the movie that I didn't like which I have either come to terms with or outright embraced, such as Koopa's hair being blonde rather than red, so I can't say that there's very much left that I absolutely do not like in the film's departures from the games.

The Italian cut ends very abruptly... No closure, nothing-- but, it does cut out the idea of the possibility of a sequel that would never be made (which is still something I hope for every day). I think it's at least better paced than our cut of the film, which has all the wrong material and too mu...

All suggestions should be directed to the Site Overhaul discussion topic.

We've actually been in talks with a graphic designer who has agreed to develop a new logo for use on the site and forums. From what we've seen it's sleek, professional and a vast improvement over what has been in use since.

Well ok, that I can deal with-wait a minute. Please don't tell me you're going to make sock puppet accounts now just so you can flood the review sites with positive reviews! :shock: That's not exactly possible as in order to review a product on Amazon you would need to have previously purchased som...

Ok look I'm sorry to have snapped but I just don't like the idea that you're thinking of removing negative reviews, therefore censoring them just because they bashed your favorite. I don't think that's right. I agree entirely, 1upmushroom. I would never choose to censor a review just because I don'...

I know I'm going to sound Orwellian here, but I think we should make it our duty to find all negative reviews of the film and have them deleted. I'm talking about flagging websites like Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb, as well as burning copies of so-called "Movie Guides" that have negative revi...

Let me just say that I love your enthusiasm. It's a great feeling seeing so many topics revisited. Hopefully it leads to revitalized discussion as well!

You know, I actually never thought about all this political subtext before. I can see why Bob Hoskins and Dennis Hopper were lured into the project in the first place. The Dick Clement & Ian la Frenais script was all about politics. Rocky and Annabel, being British, were very passionate about g...

It's not a difficult movie to obtain; generally only $5 at most stores or even cheaper off Amazon. It's really not a bad movie, either, though it depends on your particular tastes. It has its many failings, sure, though it also has virtues that have helped it endure so long past its release. It's gr...

Could they have been saying that by Koopa becoming the "President" he overthrew a peaceful monarchy (socialist?) and capitalized on it so much that he became in essence a very Nixon-esque villain? As we all know, Richard Nixon was trying to modify the United States Constitution so he coul...

Let me be the first to welcome you back, Serum. It really hasn't been the same without you. I sincerely missed your presence and imagined the worst had happened, so it's very uplifting to see that you're doing much better. You've also missed quite a bit of site and forum activity. Our nationwide scr...

No no, Redstar is right. I appreciate the extraordinarily non-sarcastic defense, 1upmushroom. We should meet in a Starbucks someday with MacBooks. But I also must confess that this isn't even my cartoon, I'm not THAT talented, I'm more into ponies and pony-related puns. My Little Pony fanfiction is...

Looks like the story is really picking up. Glad to see you return to your writing like this. Hopefully Carnie can jump in and offer any thoughts and advice as I have been.

I enjoyed the Burton film. It's a delightful companion to Roland Emmerich's Independence Day.

I believe there are certain films where remakes/reboots make sense and are acceptable, but only when the source property has so much mythology that you could feasibly do something different with the material. Starship Troopers went from a serious examination of human nature and the duty of the indiv...

I actually have a copy of this and a version that was released in Greece with Greek subtitles and extra footage not even in the American cut. The other thing too is that the movie was called Dino City, where else here its Adventures in Dinosaur City...weird isn't it? I had read via IMDb that some v...

I can think of two off the top of my head outside of the usual comparisons to Blade Runner and similar films: Adventures in Dinosaur City , in a group of kids are zapped into a vaguely cyber-punk dinosaur world within a digital universe. Almost a cross between TRON and Super Mario Bros. The Movie An...

And oh my goodness, that's perfect! I was wondering how to show the goings-on of the next few weeks without dragging down the story terribly. Now I know exactly what to do for Chapter Two! (Or Chapter One, depending on whether you count the beginning as a proper chapter.) I'm pleased that you found...

I like "Rise of Bowser" myself, though the "Rise of X" title formula has become almost cliche in recent years. Might I suggest "Super Mario Bros. 2: Pretender to the Throne" or something along those lines? The title could suggest either Daisy or Bowser, with perhaps Pea...

That's really cool. A bit cartoony, but it captures Luigi's personality well. I love the coloring and the boots, though I agree that they are very large.

Are you planning on drawing any other characters or creatures from the movie?

Another couple of questions: what was Koopa's position of power before the takeover? From his outfit in the beginning, he seems to have been a high-ranking military officer, possibly a general of some sort, but I'm not sure. Koopa certainly was a high-ranking military official who often dealt direc...

I like how you joined the forums with the express purpose of posting a 5-second long Flash animation depicting Phantos committing gang-rape. I must say, you really sold yourself with this post. Do you have any intent on contributing to the forums in a way meaningful to the community's focus on the S...

It was a real pleasure reading this, Sean, especially considering how long you've been absent from the site. We've only grown larger as a community since, all because of the passion that fans such as yourself have for the movie. Stick around and enjoy the place as it just keeps getting better!

I came to the site because I felt that the movie didnt get enough recognition, or enough fame. It was a fantastic movie and deserved better then what it got. The film has been relatively obscure and overlooked over the years, though very recently it seems to have had a change in perception. Our sit...

Welcome to the board! May I ask when you first saw the movie and what brought you to our site?

Great to see you here. I often look around for new reviews, podcasts and other interesting articles about the film, but I can't say that I ever came across yours. It's appreciated that you decided to bring it to us. :P I won't comment too much on the retrospective within an introductions topic, thou...

No, I hadn't connected the two, though there does seem to be several eerie visual parallels. I sort of like that idea, especially as both works feature different dimensions.

I really quite like it. You have a way with words that really captures not only the mood of the situation but also Daisy's complete and utter panic at what she must face. In this brief opening to your story I feel more drawn to her character than any moment from the film itself. You've just made her...

Thank you both for the welcome! Sorry it took me a little while, my posting/updating schedule isn't terribly solid. ^^' No problem! Most of us are 18+, so between work, family and relationships we find that the weekends are the best time to really come together for discussions. Don't be surprised i...

Hey, aren't we all? It's still always nice to have a place for fans to come together and relax.

Whooo! Now that I've finished the first chapter of First Year and quieted my Writer's Conscience for a little while, I can start reading First Rebel. TO THE THREADMOBILE! It'll be nice to finally get an opinion other than mine on The First Rebel! Also, good tips 1upmushroom. You've really blossomed...
