Nintendo was big. The biggest! And Super Mario Bros was the marquee name.
So the time was perfect to turn the Super Mario Bros Nintendo game into Super Mario Bros: The Movie (1993). Hire some writers, hire the people who created Max Headroom. How hard can it be?
Super Mario Bros The Movie didn't turn out how anyone that worked on it hoped it would. This is the story of chaos. This is the crazy story of The Super Mario Bros (1993) failure.
