I like the movie not because of how bad it is in comparison to the Mario games, but how unique it is in it's own right. Speaking of Super Mario Bros. movie. I heard that Sony has possibilities for making one and this time being full CGI movie. I just hope they base the movie on Super Mario Bros (1985 game), New, Sunshine, 3D Land, 3D World and Galaxy 1 & 2. Super Mario Sunshine is a very unlikely source since the game is rather controversial, even though the game was the only regular Mario game to do some world building. The Galaxy games only work if you know exactly how Mario usually works and we don't know how he usually works in the movie world, so they're not a very good source for a first movie either. The typical Mario story with Bowser kidnapping Peach and Mario going on a journey to save her(as seen in most Mario games) is the most likely. I just hope they spice it up a little, like they did in the Super Mario World-based comic Super Mario Adventures from the Nintendo Power magazine: Capturing the logic and nonsense of the world perfectly, fleshing out the rather subtle personalities of the videogame characters, playing with the mechanics you know from the games and having an equal sense of adventure and comedy. For example, there is this one part of the comic where Mario and Luigi get stuck in a haunted house and are surrounded by Boos. Now the Boos from the games are said to be as shy as they are deadly, they blush and cover their eyes when you look at them and only attack when you turn your back at them and are pretty much invincible. So Mario and Luigi try to outstare them, but because Boos are ghosts, they are extremely persistent. Then Mario and Luigi quickly run into another room and Mario dresses up as Dr. Mario and gives the Boos a psychotherapy against their shyness and aggression until they willingly let them go. As soon as the Boos are back inside the house, Mario and Luigi rip off their disguises, hop on Yoshi and continue their journey. That's as clever as it is hilarious.
