Just watched this movie and hadn't seen it in so long.

Just one big promo for Video Games and the "unveiling" of Super Mario Bros. 3

Who remembers this movie for its greatness?

I've never wanted a game as much as I wanted SMB 3 in my whole life. I was like a 12 year old at a Beiber concert the first time I saw that movie.

The power glove seemed so awesome in that movie, and then it sucked so badly in real life

I love the power glove. It's so bad.

I remember wanting a power glove after I saw it and then getting one. Obviously, I was disappointed.

Maybe you just weren't as good of a player as Lucas.

I had the Powerglove. It did suck, but the U-force sucked worse!

I might not have known where that first whistle was if it wasn't for this movie.

Wizard was genius

Every damn kid would have cut off his toe for Mario 3 which is still a badass game

Always loved that Haley somehow knew what that whistle even did considering the game had never been seen before.

Exactly. Genius indeed. I remember wanting SM3 so bad, but not really caring about the Power Glove at all really. Then I remember some of my friends getting the PG and it sucking so much. But SM3 is easily one of the greatest video games of all time...it still holds up really well today 23 years (holy fricking shite) later.

Yeah, that was always awesome...a video game that has literally never been seen before, yet Jimmy knows all the fricking secrets.

Also, I always loved how they made a huge joke about statutory rape in the movie ("He touched my BREAST!!").
