This classic game enemy made it's way into the movie in a very shrunken size. It did, however manage to stop Dinohattan in it's tracks by everyone's fear of it going off. |

The Banzai Bill (As it was called in the production art for the Thwomp Stomper boots) was later renamed Bullet Bills. These cartridges would be placed inside a Thwomp Stomper boot to allow the user to jump high in the air. |

Likely a new weapon in the Koopa army (Since the Devo Chamber was huge), the Devo gun is interesting in two ways. Firstly as a weapon capable to de-evolving someone to a more primitive state. Secondly because the gun itself is a re-fitted SNES Super Scope lightgun. |

Seen briefly with a character fans have come to assume is 'Birdo', this egg was being walked by it's mother when a stranger began trying to pet it - possibly in a bid to steal it and eat it later. |

These flame-thrower weapons act similarly to fire flowers, however their names are revealed on a background poster inside the Hat Check Room at the Boom Boom Bar. |

Seen in various points during the film, and given more prominence in a deleted scene by Mario's "Nobody touches my tools!" line, these came in handy in Koopa's Tower. |

Seen at the opening of the movie, with the Meteorite Piece as it's key, this fascinating container was used to store Daisy's egg when she was delivered to the Nuns. |

Meteorite Piece (Necklace) |
A core prop for the movie, this meteorite piece was worn as a necklace by Daisy until she was kidnapped. Luigi brought it with him to Dinohatten where it was promptly stolen by Big Bertha. |

One of the film's most fan-loved props - the Thwomp Stompers were the film's way of allowing the Super Mario Bros to jump as high as was shown in the video games. |
