#7 – Super Mario The Movie Is A Record Setter!
Hey you can stop rubbing your eyes as this is actually true. Mario fever was at a crazy high in the early 90’s. So high that Hollywood came calling to Nintendo wanting to make a movie based on our favourite plumber. We all know the movie was less than great. OK let’s face it, Super Mario Bros The Movie was a bit of a stinker, but it still has a record no other movie based on a video game can claim.
That record is that this was the very first movie to be released in theatres that was based on a video game. No other video game franchise will ever be able to take this away from Super Mario Bros The Movie no matter how God awful it was. The movie has also scarred Nintendo for life as numerous companies have wanted to make a movie based on the Legend Of Zelda only to be knocked back every time because of what happened with the Super Mario Bros Movie.
