Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDennis Hopper described the film's production - "It was a nightmare, very honestly, that movie. It was a husband and wife directing team who were both control freaks and wouldn't talk before they made decisions. Anyway, I was supposed to go down there for five weeks, and I was there for 17. It was so over budget."
- GoofsWhen Spike asks Iggy the square root of 26481, he answers 191, which is the square root of 36481.
- Quotes
King Koopa: Give me that Devo-Gun!
[Koopa tries to shoot Mario, but instead hits Scapelli, who is transformed into a chimpanzee. Koopa points at him and laughs]
King Koopa: Monkey!
- Crazy creditsAfter the closing credits, some Japanese business men ask Iggy and Spike about appearing in a video game based on the incidents in the movie.
- Alternate versionsIn the Italian release, the ending is cut so Mario and Luigi don't go back to Brooklyn.

Featured review
Believe it or not, I liked it.
Ok, it bears almost NO resemblance to the game, but that can be good. Like hearing bleeps and bloops for 90 minutes can be kinda nerve wracking. (O_o) That was one of the main reasons some hated it... I must say GET OVER IT! NO movie based on a game is EVER accurate. Then again, it would be kinda different having a short, plumb guy dressed in overalls and a tall, skinny guy dressed in green running around in dungeons and castles the whole time. I mean it would be a good idea for a cartoon movie, but live action? Uh uh. No way. It was good to improvise for a live action film. 8/10
