    I actually didn’t mind the OG Mario Bros movie because I don’t look at it through the lens of the Mario games. It’s just campy and crazy.

      I agree with that. The OG is a great scifi cyberpunk B movie that gets weird, but it is not a good Mario Bros movie.

      I think it’s better that way

        There’s a deleted scene at the end where some game designers from Nintendo show up and ask Mario and Luigi permission to turn their story into a game. The joke is that the movie isn’t a bad Mario adaptation, the game is.

          Oh that’s funny. I bought it on dvd a few months ago, I’ll have to check out the special features to see if it’s there.
