xjourneyescapex 8 years 9 months ago Posts: 153	remember the movie "The Wizard" and how it gave a preview of "Super Mario Bros 3"? but what i'm trying to remember is.. was SMB3 out before The Wizard or after? it would make sense for it to be out after.. but i can't remember. also, the wizard was and still is an incredible movie. "...california"

It's true that it makes sense for it to have come out before, because it seems to be one big commercial for Nintendo rather than a movie. However, I cant deny that it's one of my all time favorite movies, and I was very excited when i found it used on VHS at a video store for $2 a few months ago. "He touched my BREAST!!!"

They gave away a free special issue of Nintendo Power at the theatre I went to. I haven't seen it for years now. Wasn't that red head you mentioned also in The Goonies? Played Andie?

Yeah, they need to put it on DVD. There are tons of European DVDs of The Wizard on Ebay...most of them in English and multi-regional. However, I don't know how good the quality on them is. They all might have been taken directly off a VHS copy of the movie for all I know.

I remember when the movie came out...saw it in the theatres and we were all sooooo excited to see a glimpse of the new Mario. (Hence, my screen name!)
