Brooklyn plumbers Mario (Bob Hoskins) and Luigi (John Leguizamo) rescue Princess Daisy from King Koopa (Dennis Hopper) and the Goombas in a dinosaur world.

Critics Consensus

Despite flashy sets and special effects, Super Mario Bros. is too light on story and substance to be anything more than a novelty.

I prefer a film that takes risks over inane projects. [Full review in Spanish]

Like their video-game counterparts, co-stars Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo somehow manage to weave their way past threatening obstacles and escape with their dignity.

Scenery rushes by, noise blares, characters pop up wearing new costumes that they couldn't possibly have had time to change into as they eluded their adversaries.

Those unfamiliar with the intricacies of Nintendo will probably find themselves wishing they could pull the plug on this intoxicating but ultimately droning light show.

3/5

...Super Mario Brothers is an origin story, but adds so much detail that any joy of seeing Mario fly is negated by heavy plotting and far too much time spent watching Hopper/Koopa chew the scenery...

Although the theatrical release is perhaps too narratively disjointed and tonally dissonant to qualify as 'good,' it so proudly brandishes its bonkers, go-for-broke aesthetic, one hesitates to label it entirely 'bad' either.

Como Super Mario esse filme não convence. Mas se for olhar ele como algo que não seja Super Mario, o filme fica até assistivel e divertido.

Fantastic. I don't care what anyone says. It's better than the cartoon crap they had made recently

A "so bad it's good" type movie. Bears no resemblance to the Nintendo's Mario Bros. series, in any form. Goombas look ugly as hell, and a lot of other very weird events happen.
