That same year, 1993, saw a full live action adaptation of the Super Mario Bros. series, or rather, kind of an adaptation, produced by Hollywood Pictures and starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo as the titular plumbers. The film presented the idea that the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs actually split the planet into two different dimensions, one with dinosaurs and one without, except the dinosaurs eventually evolved to look just like humans, because that’s how that works.
Bob Hoskins portrays the film version of Mario, presented here as an older, world-weary plumber who runs a plumbing business with his little brother Luigi, the pair encountering a portal to this dinosaur world when Luigi’s girlfriend is abducted and taken through it.
In this game, the film version of Mario will be much, much slower than regular Mario, being an older man in his, probably, forties, heavier too thanks to the sizable super boots he is wearing. His moveset will pull from the movie, both the gadgets and items he uses in the dinosaur world as well as the plumbing tools he uses here and there.
Likelihood rating: Non-game
