I was on the Barnes & Noble website and I looked up Super Mario Bros and found something interesting.

On first glance, it looks like it's just Wikipedia articles refitted into a book format. However, I may be incorrect about this. Good find!

Well...I took one for the team and bought the thing. I don't have it in front of me right now, but it's basically a collection of SMB movie-related Wikipedia articles, such as "Super Mario Bros. Film," "Mario," "Luigi," "Bowser," "Bob Hoskins," "John Leguizamo," "Dennis Hopper," etc.
So yeah, it's stuff you can get on Wikipedia--for free. And the book was apparently printed before SMB Movie Archive had contributions/listings at the end of the article, so we aren't even mentioned as far as I can tell. Either that, or we were taken off 'cause we're a "fan site."

$32? Wow. That's a total rip-off. Gotta wonder what team you're playing for to make that worth it.

It's been a while since I last visited "the Archive!" Wow that's stupid. Can't believe they'd charge you for something that you can read online for free. Legally anyway. And also, is that a Thwomp Stomper on the cover?
