A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Well i've made a mold of the thwomp for the bottom of the boot. Hopefully it turns out. I never used this RTV before and it was some really thick stuff. Of course i ran out halfway thru all my other projects. :evil: Great! I feel that the Thwomp logo is one of the coolest connections to the game in...

Well it was explained that Mark took serious expirementation while in the labs. I tried to make the hammers giant so they wouldn't become useless when Mark turns into a monster. If the only reason the hammers can have a purpose is by violating any sense than you should probably have excluded them e...

I grew up enjoying the movie the same way. I loved the games, so my momï»¿ recorded it on VHS for me before finally buying it. It's been a favorite ever since, though it's only the last few years that I've really gotten into it. While I do agree that associating the film with the game can only hurt ...

Thanks for re-posting this review, JTurner. You make a strong case for the film meriting a two-star rating, so it's one of the few reviews in that category that I've truly enjoyed reading. You offer a respectable opinion in an insightful fashion. Still, there's a few points I'd like to comment on. F...

De-evolution is basically just mutation, anyway. It reverts life to a "simpler form," not necessarily the original form from with it came from. Like the Goombas are mutants who have been genetically altered to act in a primitive way-- loyal, lethal and stupid. Evolution is "basically...

Sheesh everyone's so young on here. I'm 33 and saw SMB on VHS. Pretty soon i'll have to explain what VHS was :lol: I LOVE old VHS movies. Everything from the box art design to the tracking to the feeling of rewinding after a late-night marathon. However, the medium has become a bit of a burden thes...

I think i'm the oldest person on this site lol. I was born in 1978. You may very well be the oldest member of the site, though I know there's a couple of other members nearing 30. I'm big on the '80s, especially the movies. The '80s were just a great time for fun, original stories and practical eff...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't "Super Mario Bros." shortlisted for Oscars for best set-design and best make-up? It lost to the other dinosaur movie that came out that year-- which I refuse to say the name of. :| Super Mario Bros. was shortlisted for a special effects Oscar, but Disne...

Great props and costumes, mates. They may be bought, but they seem quality enough. As long as their utilized well I'm sure they'll be effective in the film. I'd still take care to not show them more than necessary and definitely not very closely, otherwise people will for sure recognize them as stor...

Nice chapter. Gets the story going and demonstrates that there's a whole world of characters and backstories out there as of yet unexplored. Just a couple comments: Big bulky shoulder pads rested on his shoulders. His entire legs were covered by black knee pads. A big bulky bag was on his left shoul...

A rival is not a carbon copy. Fat Cat Franklin is more of an original character than a Mario character, now, what with the WarioWare series. He doesn't even really wear the purple and gold anymore. Now he sort of dresses like a female drag queen. Which is fine, if you're into that sort of thing. I ...

People are realizing too late that the GameCube had some really good titles, though I think older games in general generally fetch a good price. There's just so much demand.

Thanks for re-posting the article, Trent. We enjoy reading new and different perspectives on the film, so it's always a pleasure to be able to discuss them further. The film just has so much going for it that you really can't cover it all in one take. There are a few things I'd like to comment on, s...

The problem with your theory is that, up until a few years ago, Mario and Luigi had no real ties to New York, Donkey Kong or anyone named "Pauline." The idea that Mario became a plumber in Mario Bros. and then stumbled into a strange new world with a pipe-motif in Super Mario Bros. is only...

I've called KFC corporate and am waiting on a call-back from the PR department. They need to get into the historical archives since anyone who worked at the company back in '93 is either no longer there or in a different position. However, if there's any copyright information or indication of who pr...

I think Mario's been living (in the current games canon) in the Mushroom Kingdom so long he's completely forgotten about Brooklyn, Pauline and Donkey Kong. Brooklyn, maybe, but Pauline and DK are still appearing in games with him left, right, and center. Indeed. Pauline made appearances in the rece...

I have recreated the Mario movie logo, and I can add more to this if needed. I think the phpBB logo is too plain and makes the forum look a bit boring (no offense) what do you guys think? Phlibbit and I have discussed the possibility of updating the board to something more thematically relevant, bu...

Stanley is a real overlooked opportunity for a new game, I'd like a platformer adventure like SM64 and DK64 starring Stanley. Thank you. Yes, a new game starring Mario's overlooked cousin would be interesting. It might be a sort of "run and shoot" game, since he's got that extermination d...

Cool poster, wes. I'm really starting to take a liking to the idea of Nicholson in the role of Koopa.

If your goal had been a joke comic than I'd be severely embarrassed about my commentary!

Looking forward to seeing how the comic may continue, though its message is strong enough that you probably don't even have to explore it past the last page.

Happy 23rd, bob-omb! It's good to see you posting again, albeit under the username devongladden.

This comic tells an incredibly powerful story through imagery alone, Carl. We're seeing the Mushroom Kingdom and its people at its absolute worst without the possibility of hope or redemption. The saddest part is that Mario and perhaps a countless series of clones are unaware that their quest is utt...

Cullen's take on Mario really is just fun. The Supercade feels right at home with late '60s-era cartoons like the Wacky Races. That makes it fitting that Mario and Pauline drive around in a "Mystery Machine," just as superwesleybros so aptly pointed out himself.

Chapter 8: Practice I like this chapter. We get to see some bonding between The Rebel and Tyler which I feel might be important as the story goes on. Tyler is clearly going to be important, whether as The Rebel's protege or as a future traitor. That remains to be seen. The only thing I'd criticize ...

Found my rough draft, it was on an old usb flash drive. I began writing it a few years back. Here is a scene from it, its the very first encounter and conversation between King Koopa and Mario: I really like it. It's realistic, mature in its presentation and above all well-written. It really makes ...

While on my Lunch break I went to the Hobby Lobby near my campus and I bought some giant mushrooms and a fake fire hydrant. also, My dad hooked me up with some filming time at his work. So I'll get to re-work my opening to be set in a big pipe filled establishment. :mrgreen: Dude, if you could have...

No, for the love of-- he's got a cape, he can fly, he shoots fire from his bare hands and for being an obese plumber in his mid-thirties he can perform incredible acrobatics with minimal of effort. He's a superhero! I think Mario is chubby not obeese. Mario is fit in the way that men were fit in th...

Marlyin Masnon would tottaly have to drop his satanic goth gimmick if Disney wanted to hire him for SMB 2. Then again this rumor is obviously false, i remember a similar rumor of a sequel to the Van Damme Street Fighter movie with Dolph Lundren replacing Raul Julia. :lol: That's actually a pretty c...

Which questions are the updates? Good question. Check them out below: SA: In regards to your above statement, what do you mean by "shark-like"? Was the Koopa creature specifically influenced by sharks, or was it simply a fair comparison because of their shared quality of having a toothy g...

Well, you know what I mean... The character.

I decided to do some more digging after coming across an article on a Polish website from 2002 that mentioned this rumor. After some brief persistence, I finally found a direct link to the supposed ZENtertainment article that produced this rumor. Hopped Up on Shrooms Word that Nintendo is hoping to ...

The "patterned and tribal" skin for the hybrid Koopa is just plain cool. It's creepy and almost more realistic.

My girlfriend linked this to me via Cracked:

I came up with 2 ideas for Mario's transformation into Wario. One was like you said where he would have been brainwashed by unseen forces, the other featured a tainted mushroom that he would eat accidentaly. (Based on the poison mushroom from Lost Levels) Well, I'm looking forward to how you might ...

I enjoy references to different adaptations. It's good to take your own spin on things, but it's still fun to have those references in there.

Not saying it's a bad thing; sometimes extreme measures are required to overcome social duress. V for Vendetta is a good example of that in fiction, though it's not always so morally palatable in real-life.

Man-Bat isn't a particularly high-profile rogue in the Batman comics, but Baby Doll was a very tragic character in the animated series. Most of the villains in the show were.

Before this moment I never realized that an adaptation for Super Mario Bros. existed prior to the Super Show. That's crazy.

Glad to see you with us, Evan. Always good to have another fan around.

Feel free to post in any topic you like, no matter how old. We always welcome new discussions and there's certainly plenty to be had with us!

You can find some good (black-and-white) promotional images in the film's press kit, which we've released on the site HERE.
