Oh God, I remember watching a few scenes from this movie on Youtube. One particular scene scarred me for life when
Still, I find it fascinating to explore early incarnations of a well-known story or franchise, as it often provides some insight into what might have been. Sometimes you also run across ideas that were revisited later on (like Mario swinging Bowser around by the tail years later in Mario 64).
Bowser transforms into a ballerina. No, I'm not making this up. Here, see for yourself:
It's around a minute and twenty seconds-AAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHH MY EYES! WHY DID I WATCH IT AGAIN?!
*curls into fetal position whimpering quietly*

>.> wonder how many people would sell there soul for a anime
OMG I thought I was the only one to ever see or hear about that movie, I remeber channel surfing years ago and seeing a clip of it on disney channel, I was like WTF? since when is Felix the cat so dark or edgy? It reminded me alot of Satam sonic. I'd like to see them make a series based on that movie. I'm shocked that the nostalgia critic hasn't review this yet.shogunblade said:
Despite that anime adaptation of Super Mario Brothers being far from perfect (or even great), that's exactly the kind of extra that Nintendo should package with a 15+ year anniversary edition of any of their flagship series rather than just release the things with minimal extras as they have done so far.
Besides, any anime that inspired (directly or indirectly) Wario and the final battle of Super Mario 64 deserves to be remembered for those contributions if nothing else!

Reinforced by the fact that the background undergoes a transformation into a psychedelic fantasy trip. Yeah I am so glad I have never heard nor seen this...film.hurricanejbb said:
I like the sound of the ending. It fits nicely with the normal slacker-turn-hero sort of slapstick ending where they never really manage to achieve anything, but hey water under a bridge, what can you do, get on with life sort of thing.
It's like you never really want the Chuckle Brothers to win, you just don't want them to lose either
EDIT: I figured it out, it's the plot of every Neil Gaiman book every written (spoilers!). The hero sets his affection on a woman he knows nothing about really and has no reason to set his affection on. He goes on his journey and at the end of his journey he's grown as a character and he comes to terms with the fact that his affection was made during his naive days and he'll just deal with the world as it is, aided by the experience of his adventures.
Other times it's a promotion that they never receive but realise that the promotion is petty compared to the big picture/they have the skills to leave and achieve success in other ways.
It's like a shifted coming of age story. The story ends with the character leaving his childhood behind and 'now the real journey begins'

That cartoon looked kind of surreal... but it also looked like the most faithful film-adaption of the Mario series. I mean, it had the classic "Bowser kidnapping Peach" Plot, the classic enemies, the power-ups, even most of the character looked pretty much like they are supposed to look. I mean, the Mario plot is silly as hell but they did a good job of adapting it. It was closer to the games than the TV-Show or the movie.
As a non Mario fan, who hasn't even passed the second level on the first Mario, I think this anime looks pretty cool. It's astounding how far they went with just a few pixels worth of inspiration. Princess coming out of the TV screen? Holy cow. Plus the dog-prince thing is just awesome if you think about it... Now I'm off to look for the movie. Thanks Bob.
