This live-action SMB adventure hit the theaters May 28th, 1993, and it wasn't exactly a "box office smash." I saw it for the first time in September of 1998. I sort of liked it; I appreciated all the Mario references. Maybe it would've done better as a cartoon. What do you think? Feel free to send me your reviews, thoughts, etc. They just might appear on this page someday :P Plot The Mario brothers set out to save Princess Daisy from a parallel dimension ruled by dinosaurs.

Let me put it bluntly: It was stupid. My kid brother (5 at the time) loved it. It was a kid's movie, really. It was all about something called de-evolution and how Koopa had these guns that turned the dinosaur people into "Goombas" (Big Dumb Puppet-People) and People into Monkeys. This king guy (Daisy's Father) got turned into a fungus that helped out Mario and Luigi, so they got the whole mushroom thing in. The climax surrounded this meteor that was a "dimensional gateway" or something and had to get it to open with Daisy's necklace. Mario and Luigi win in the end, of course. The special effects were nothing special. Heck, "Star Wars" was better, and that preceded it by 16 years! It was really a cartoon with real people in it. It should have been a cartoon, IMHO. That's what I think most people think of it. --Ray PS I also hated that Yoshi was such a wimp. Sent in by Monica: I've seen the movie, and actually it was pretty good. It should have been computerized or animated, though. Jurassic Park came some time later, and they could have made King Koopa computerized. If it was animated, it probably would have been a bigger hit than it really was. I liked the fireball weapon, and there were no blocks or anything. Maybe the Koopas should have had some sort of "shell" on their backs or something. Just a little review. --Monica
