I hate to say it, but Nintendo had very little interest or investment in the project. They sold the rights to an indie company just to see what they would do with it.

Goombas were based off of mushrooms, but named for chestnuts.

It should be pointed out that the film's creators didn't have a lot to work with. While there was certainly official artwork for the Goombas there was none that actually featured them alongside Mario.

He hated the experience of making the film, but loved everyone he met there and had good times after shooting each day.

Thank you for mentioning Mario. One of my favorite roles.

Bob took the role in Super Mario Bros. because his son, Jack, was sad that his father never invited his (Toon) "friends" over to play. He had hoped that the creature effects in Super Mario Bros. would allow him to invite over the Goombas and other monsters for Jack to play with.

Is PeterFever gay? I read an article that stated that homosexual men generally have larger penises than straight men because of the level of testosterone in the womb at a certain point in development.

We had this made.

It's pretty ridiculous that every time the film comes up in the news Kotaku feels the need to trash it and state that no one likes it, even though each time more than a few people in the comments share their love.

Blu-Rays only have three regions compared to DVDs, which have six. It's a ridiculous situation fostered in part by distribution companies not wanting to share rights within their region. Disney allowed us to re-release the film only for region 2/B even though they have no plans to bring something new out for the U.S.

That was me.

Thank you. We've briefly spoken before about the film and my work for it via the SMB Movie Archive. I'm currently consulting on a new Blu-Ray release. I need this support, no matter how rare it is.

You're not. We're re-releasing it to Blu-Ray this summer.

Hoskins and Leguizamo would go drinking in the local bars after the day's wrap, but they would never drink or be drunk while shooting.

I love the Super Mario Bros. film and wish that Bob's opinion was softer, but I agree that this is not the time to retread a part of a man's life that he did not like.

I'm going to join this party by sharing my preference for Tangled over Frozen.

Plenty is changing. Since the novels are no longer canon, even within their own universe, all new licensed novels will follow the continuity of the new films. There will no longer be novels that continue the established stories and characters.

Yep: Amnesia Psyduck and Surf Pikachu.

There was also Hey, you! Pikachu!
