Here's something I bet most of you either have or haven't heard of. Super Mario Bros. The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach was an anime movie created in 1986, ONE YEAR after the release of the original Super Mario Bros.!

This movie is pretty obscure, being made shortly after the first game. So they didn't really have that much to work with in terms of source material. But honestly, I like it! It's not really that commonly known, but I don't think it's a bad movie by any means! I highly encourage you to see it!

This is also one of the very first video game based movies! I find that very fascinating!
This movie is also EXTREAMLY hard and expensive to find on VHS, and there's never been a DVD release. I wish more people knew about this. This really is a neat bit of history!
Also, the soundtrack kicks major ass~~

P.S. Please don't ask why Luigi is wearing yellow. He's just tapping into his inner Wario!


I originally made this for an up coming event at a library!
