For a long time, Nintendo’s legendary Mario gaming series was built on simple foundations: the titular portly plumber rescues Princess Peach from the monstrous, spiky-shelled, and fire-breathing Bowser.
Over the past four decades, the franchise has evolved into an entertainment behemoth and introduced new enemies for Mario to ground pound, throw fireballs at, and defeat with a Super Star power-up. Of his numerous foes, though, there’s one Mario was unable to conquer: Super Mario Bros., the character’s 1993 live-action film that’s considered one of the worst video game movies of all time.
