Super Mario Brothers the Movie, The Epic, the movie, the wonderfully lame joyride of plotlessness! Options

So, back when I was a young, young whipper-snapper gas was only $1.19 a gallon, and there was a movie that disgusted the heck out of almost every Nintendo junkie in the world.

It was called "Super Mario Brothers", made by you heard me right, Disney. It was totally live action. The movie was a HUGE flop, but I love it, and I think it may actually be among my favorite movies.

Shigeru Miyamoto got together with the Disney team to create a Mario movie that was a story of its own. It didn't follow a game plot or anything. It was like it's own thing, and that's what most people don't understand.

The movie's main stars are Bob Hoskins (The guy from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?) as Mario and John Luguizamo (You've probably seen him in several places, but you're probably not sure where) as Luigi.

You kids know you want to watch it.

Anyway, moral of the story, does anyone remember/enjoy/hate/etc. this movie? I want to know if I'm the only one who totally LOVED it.

I saw it when it was in theaters and I was really confused, bothered, and disappointed. And as a kid I was pretty easily impressed with movies. I hated that they were called "Mario Mario" and "Luigi Mario", as if Mario was also their last name. I hated that TOAD DIES (and was a rock star? what the hell?). I hated that Yoshi was some stupid actual dinosaur. I hated how goombas were giant and weird looking. I hated how it took place in a deep, dark, super evil New York kind of place instead of anything remotely livable. I hated how the princess's dad was a pile of boogers for the whole movie.

I did like how Daisy was in it, but they pretty much combined Peach and Daisy into one princess, since back then Peach was just known as Princess Toadstool. But she ended up with Luigi, and that's cool cuz back then I felt Luigi never got any credit.
