annericelover Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hello, I looked in all the video games and movies forums and was amazed that there was no thread devoted to the entire Super Mario franchise. Well here it is, post trivia and other stuff about the series here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annericelover Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 The film, which many consider to be one of the worse adapted video games ever(and who haven't seen Bloodrayne)still had a decent soundtrack to it. One of the songs was called "Almost Unreal" by Roxette, originally the song was written for the film Hocus Pocus. The studio decided to give the song to the Mario Brothers film as the song fit the love story between Luigi and Daisy, better than the two characters in Hocus Pocus. I agree with this: Here's the original version of the music video featuring scenes from the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Fun Fact: In SMB, the clouds and the bushes both used the same sprite, just recolored. Fun Fact 2: Luigi is ten times the man Mario is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James D. Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Fun Fact: Super Mario Bros. the movie has been known to cause people to ingest cyanide. Maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 In no way can that fact possibly be construed as fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annericelover Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Has anyone ever played the original version of Super Mario Brothers II before it went to Super Mario All-Stars as The Lost Levels? Is there anything different other than the graphics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 No huge differences. It's just as stupidly hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annericelover Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 No huge differences. It's just as stupidly hard. I actually like that, I love the Mario games to death, but they are always way too easy. You play one Mario game, you've played them all, so when a challenge like Lost Levels comes along its great. My brother brought a Nintendo Wii and brought Super Mario Galaxy, I went over for a weekend and managed to not only get further, but get higher points sooner. My brother is as much of a Mario expert as me. So far, the only games I haven't beaten in the general Mario Adventure games are: Super Mario Galaxy Super Mario Forever Wario Land: Super Mario Land III Super Paper Mario Series(never played them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I like challenge as much as the next guy, but Mario is, by its very design, an easy accessible franchise. Playing Lost Levels is like playing Mario 1 while someone wearing a spiked glove punches you in the dick every 12 seconds just because they can.

SuaveStar Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 In no way can that fact possibly be construed as fun. it can be if the guy who made the cyanide pills went out and bought a bouncy castle with the money.... Also Captain Lou Albano played Mario during the 80's or 90's for a live Mario TV show, or did a dance dressed as Mario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annericelover Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Also Captain Lou Albano played Mario during the 80's or 90's for a live Mario TV show, or did a dance dressed as Mario. The show you're referring too is The Super Mario Brothers Super Show, it ran from September of '89 to Dec of '89, but managed to get two seasons and managed to have 65 episodes. The show starred: Captain Lou Albano as Mario Danny Wells as Luigi Jeannie Elias as the voice of Princess Toadstool, Shy Guy and Birdo John Stocker as the voice of Toad, Koopa Troopa, Mouser, Flurry and Beezo Harvey Atkin as the voice of King Koopa, Tryclyde and Snifit I believe the live actors also provided the voices for the animated versions of their characters. But Capt. Lou Albano does dance and rap in the credit sequences(with Danny Wells joining him in the opening credits only). The series was popular enough to spawn two sequels of sorts called The Adventures of Super Mario Brothers 3, which ran from Sept of 1990 to Dec of '90. this show had only one season, with 26 episodes and starred the voices of: Walker Boone as Mario Tony Rosato as Luigi Tracey Moore as Princess Toadstool (Princess Peach) John Stocker as Toad, Boomerang Bros, Fire Bros, Thwomp and Paragoombas Harvey Atkin as King Bowser Koopa Tara Strong as Lemmy "Hip" Koopa and Iggy "Hop" Koopa (credited as "Tara Charendoff") Paulina Gillis as Wendy "Kootie Pie" Koopa James Rankin as Larry "Cheatsy" Koopa Dan Hennessey as Roy "Bully" Koopa, Angry Sun and Sledge Bros Michael Stark as Ludwig "Kooky" Von Koopa Gordon Masten as Morton "Big Mouth" Koopa Jr. Louise Vallance as Ptooey Ernie Anderson as Opening Narrator Despite having one Season, Super Mario World still managed to get made, it ran for 1 season and had only 13 episodes. The time span was Sept of 91 to Dec of 91. This series starred the voices of: Walker Boone as Mario Tony Rosato as Luigi Andrew "Andy" Sabiston as Yoshi Tracey Moore as Princess Toadstool (Peach) John Stocker as Oogtar, Magikoopa, Monty Mole, and Charging Chuck Harvey Atkin as King Bowser Koopa Tara Strong as Lemmy "Hip" Koopa and Iggy "Hop" Koopa (credited as "Tara Charendoff") Paulina Gillis as Wendy "Kootie Pie" Koopa James Rankin as Larry "Cheatsy" Koopa Dan Hennessey as Roy "Bully" Koopa, Green Dinosaur, and Purple Dinosaur Michael Stark as Ludwig "Kooky" Von Koopa Gordon Masten as Morton "Big Mouth" Koopa Jr. All 3 series have been released on DVD, unfortunately it hasn't been released as a complete series set yet(only in Seasoned box sets), but features several hours of features. Super Mario World was released as Captain N and the New Super Mario World Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It brings back a lot of memories, not to mention the kick ass Mario Brothers theme is always awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think during one of the episodes he said his name was "King Koopa Bowser" but am not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMM, I don't understand. The original SUPER Mario Brothers is the easiest there is. If your talking about Mario Brothers that game originally came out for Atari 2600. I only beat it off the bonus game for Super Mario Brothers 3. Here is the "Sonic Boom" song with the Opening and Ending of Sonic CD together.

What, you got passed world 7 and that frigging castle maze. Also is it just me or was Sunshine the worst Mario platformer? P.S check out video game trivia.

Also is it just me or was Sunshine the worst Mario platformer? P.S check out video game trivia. Is that a joke? Have you really never gotten past World 7? There's 2 ways to beat it, one is to go throught the Warp Pipes and completely ignore World 7 and the other is of course, just go through it. Super Mario Sunshine I love. I'm actually replaying it now. I've beaten the game, so now I want to REALLY beat the game, but getting all the stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
