The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is here and, based on the initial reports, it's already off to a strong start. One imagines that some fans might want to keep the Mario Bros. love going after seeing the movie by playing one of the Mario games or possibly watching one of the other adaptations, but maybe steer clear of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show, because it’s rough. Maybe rewatching the original Super Mario Bros. movie would be less painful after seeing fans slam an AI restoration of the '80s cartoon.
Screenshots have recently gone viral on Facebook and Reddit showing what is, according to reports, an “HD” version of the 1989 animated/live action hybrid. However, it appears that the HD upscaling was handled by AI, and the work is pretty terrible, with characters barely recognizable and even the title of the show unreadable. Check it out.
