Just in time for the film's 20th anniversary, we look at its biggest flubs.
Misrepresentation Galore
We understand that it would probably take Hollywood folks a great deal of time to process and create a world similar to the one in Mario's games. But c'mon…clearly they could've done better than this. Super Mario Bros. features a terrible Hollywood-like city with badly designed taxi cabs, fungus everywhere (even the original Super Mario Bros. game didn't have this kind of filth lying around), presidential posters…you get the idea. It represents anything BUT Mario.
And, for good measure, Koopa's right hand freaks, Iggy and Spike, have been converted from nasty turtle-like creatures to…joke-hurling henchmen. Sure, they were supposed to be that way for comical effect, but they're more annoying than memorable. Plus, we're pretty sure Princess Daily could take them in a fight if she really wanted to.
Also, the Goombas…huh? They go from tiny little mushroom things to hulking, stupid giants with tiny heads and overgrown red coats. I'm not sure who made this call in terms of redesign, but come on…
Don't even get us started on Yoshi. From cute and adorable to a Jurassic Park wanna-be. One that didn't even poop eggs. Really?!
