Legends of Localization writes: A question I’ve gotten recently from a number of readers is: “What do Japanese fans think of the American Super Mario movie?”
I don’t really have much info on how it was initially received since that was like, what, 20 something years ago, but last year it was released on DVD in Japan, so I’ve collected some reactions from that. More recently, Bob Hoskins, who played Mario in the movie, passed away. I’ve taken comments from a variety of Japanese articles about that as well.
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
From Toadsworth to King Wart, several Mario characters have been sidelined by Nintendo.
Besides leading his own franchise, Mario has appeared in many crossover games that capitalize on Nintendo's greatest hero.
