Even moviegoers who don't own Nintendo...will thoroughly enjoy these superheroes. And chances are, this is only the beginning of their film exploits.
Unfortunately, the highlights are sporadic. British co-directors Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel created the similarly ambitious "Max Headroom" TV series, but they lack the visionary gifts of Terry Gilliam, and so Super Mario Bros. remains more of a game than the awesome movie it's trying to be. Can anyone say that's surprising?

Yet the movie's no stinker. 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.
All the Drano in the world couldn't fix what's clogging the works in Super Mario Bros. [1 June 1993, p.6D]
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.

This movie is very mediocre, generally, it is watchable, it is alright, but it lacks some feels and it is..very mediocre, once again.

Despite being objectively terrible the ill-fated Super Mario Bros. movie manages to somehow still be an entertaining and fun romp, if slightly drunk.

This movie is like a fanfiction made by a boomer that doesn't know anything about Mario whatsoever.
