\"Mario<\/a>

John Leguizamo and Bob Hoskins as Luigi and Mario.<\/p><\/div>\n

1. Their names aren’t Mario and Luigi Mario<\/strong>
\nAccording to the authoritative guide to all things Mario \u2013 MushroomKingdom.net \u2013 the script called for the Mario Bros. to have a last name. The characters were never given names in the game series and the producers decided that because they were the Mario Bros., their last name must be Mario. According to the site, creator Shigeru Miyamoto was quoted in Game Informer as having \u201claughed rather loudly\u201d when he heard this info.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Samantha<\/a>

Samantha Mathis as Princess Daisy<\/p><\/div>\n

2. Princess Daisy is not the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom<\/strong>
\nPrincess Daisy, first introduced in the Game Boy’s Mario Land, does not rule the Mushroom Kingdom; she’s the leader of Sarasaland. Luigi isn’t even present in the game, though he later develops a relationship with her as Mario and Peach’s counterparts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Thwomp<\/a>

Thwomp Stompers as worn by Big Bertha.<\/p><\/div>\n

3. The Mario Bros. naturally jumped high, without the need for special boots<\/strong>
\nThe weird jump boots in the movie really had nothing to do with Mario games. Also, Big Bertha is a fish in the game, not an actual woman.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Goombas\"<\/a>

Goombas<\/p><\/div>\n

4. Goombas are not reptiles of any kind<\/strong>
\nWe’re not sure why the goombas were made to be tall reptilian-like creatures when they’re literally living mushrooms gone bad.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Dennis<\/a>

Dennis Hopper as King Bowser Koopa.<\/p><\/div>\n

5. Bowser isn’t a lizard creature; he’s a turtle<\/strong>
\nWhile Dennis Hopper made a believable Bowser, King of the Koopas, sadly, he isn’t a lizard. Bowser has been confirmed to be an evil turtle with a spiked shell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
