Behind the Scenes
This page contains some really nice (not to mention
ridiculously rare) stuff in it, such as a Behind the Scenes featurette, and
a segment on Yoshi!
The Making of Super Mario Bros. (German DVD Release)
This version of The Making of Super Mario Bros. recently surfaced in a German DVD release of the film. Again--why does the US get none of this stuff? Anyway, I think this version is probably the original segment that the some of the other BTS videos pulled from, even if it was re-edited somewhat to include some of the German title screens.
Case in point--in comparison to the First Release VHS version, this one has different voice narration, has no "Almost Unreal" music video shoehorned into the middle, and has various clips and segments that aren't in the others. For example, the "What Makes Mario so Super?" and "What does King Koopa do on his day off?" segments are in different orders than the First Release version--and they make a lot more sense that way. There's also a short section with Joseph Porro and the costume design, and there's a newly-discovered deleted scene where one of the Brooklyn Girls tries to give a Goomba a cigarette.

The Making of Super Mario Bros. (First Release VHS Rental)
I found this extremely rare video after
scouring eBay for what seems like ages. I had absolutely no idea of its
existence, but *BAM* there it shows up one day. It was in PAL format, so I
had to get it converted to work here in the USA. A lot of extremely rare and
useful information came out of this; there are unused interviews, footage,
and special effects shown here that you won't find ANYWHERE else. And, for
the first time since the movie's release, the Super Mario Bros. Movie
version of the Almost Unreal music video was uncovered. I must
say, it was well worth it. See for yourself.

Yoshi animatronics from "Movie Magic"
This is a pretty rare clip of the fantastic
Yoshi animatronics used in the film. This was taken from the old "Movie
Magic" show that aired on the Discovery Channel from 1994-1996. Note how the
skin covering used on Yoshi in a lot of these shots is different from that
used in the final film. Also notice that they start talking about the
Koopa/T-Rex at the end of the clip, right when it cuts off :( If only it
went a few moments longer...Thanks to "Koopaprince" for providing the clip!
