I don't get why people hate this movie. A video game turned movie I thought the directors did a great job. Could it have been done better yes, but it was a awesome movie. The goombas would have been stupid and laughable when you're making a sci-fi action flick if you made them look like they do in the game. King Koopa being human-ish does kinda suck. Mario's first Princess was Lady/Pauline in 1981. Princess Daisy appeared in 1989 Super Mario Land for the Game Boy and has been a regular since then. Princess Toadstool/Peach didn't appear until 1995. King Koopa/Bowser has a wife and multiple children and he's from Dinosaur Land. Toad is in the movie he's just human. Yoshi can't talk, he mumbles and a cartoon is OK if you're doing a cartoon. And You people call yourself a true Mario fans. Mario first appeared as the "Jumpman" in the 1981 version of "Donkey Kong" as a carpenter. Mario and Lugi didn't appear as brothers and plumbers until 1983 in "Mario Bros" where they fought creatures in New York. I am a true Mario Bros. fan, so don't insult me by saying this movie sucks beyond comparison.
