A charcoal colored two-piece faux snakeskin distressed costume worn by Dennis Hopper in the production of the motion picture Super Mario Bros. (Allied Filmmakers, 1993). Hopper played the character King Koopa in this live action film version of the Nintendo video game. The top is marked "Stunt" in silver ink, while the pants are marked "Hero". Costume is in fragile condition. Accompanied by a copy of the film. Acquired from Rob Burman, the prosthetic makeup designer on the film.

Most likely used in the scene post Bob Omb...

I saw this on Kotaku today.

haha it definitely is when the bobomb blew!! Don't know if I'd bid on it due to its cost and fragile condition. I hope a goomba costume or another police uniform appears for sale again.

Yeah, I caught this last night and was discussing it with Phlibbit. He may bid it on it considering his love for hybrid-Koopa, but we'll see. Maybe there'll be outside interest, in which case I'd like it to stay in the hands of our "group," meaning Phlibbit, Marioblaster, or even our new member smb collector. Keep it with those that care.

Also, I was going to suggest that you should contact Kotaku about your fan film and/or auctions. I know they've featured fan film projects before and that those involved have found themselves with a fair amount of donations, so perhaps you can work something out as well. Your mentioning of this article is a great time for me to mention the idea.

Someone bought it for $125, $75 under the starting price. Was it anyone we know, at least?
