Your Mario prop sounds really cool. Post a picture if you can.
I feel the Mario movie was a good Mario movie. If they made it exactly like the video game it would have done even worse. I imagine most of the hatred comes from the characters not looking right and in that sense I can understand, but I thought the Goombas were really cool looking. Bowser/King Koopa just being a regular dude was lame though. I think I'm gonna watch the film tonight. Thanks a lot guys
