The story is quite simple, Mario and Luigi get sucked into their Famicom (NES) game and have to say Princess Peach from Bowser like they were the video game characters. (Weren't expecting that now, were you?) As the story progresses, you'll meet a wide list of characters that are creative in their own way.

The movie was in development before Super Mario Bros. for the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) was released to the Market, so many of the info and characters you see in the movie were not true.

When the movie was released on video throughout Japan, it was only rentable at movie renting retails, never to be seen actually in a store. A copy of this movie can go up to $180 in Japanese audition stores. The movie was also never dubbed or released in the US and it probaly never will be.

Now after 20 years of obscurity, the anime movie 'Super Mario Brothers: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach' has finally emerged from hiding. It is one of craziest things ever to behold the eyes of the user.

I just watched a clip of the first five minutes of it. Pretty unremarkable.

And apparently he calls Princess Peach "Peachy-hime."

Well, yes and no. Technically, it's still "Peach," it only comes off as "Peachy"(or, more accurately, "Piichi") because of Japanese phonetics. Blah.

But I'd like to see more of this stuff, having scanned these clips for almost a year now.

There was also the other OVAs that were actually closer to the games.

So, who is that prince-like dude in the picture? Does Peach have a brother, or could it be...she's married!?! I notice he has his arm around Peach, which isn't something a brother normally does with his sister.

Also, what's with Luigi's outfit? On the first game he had white overalls and hat and a green shirt. On the second game he had green overalls and hat and a blue shirt. But, I don't think he's ever had a red shirt.

Just wondering, but why are Youtube links getting deleted here when there is a thread full of them elsewhere?

If you're talking about the parody thread, it's because it's not actual episodes, but parody. They fall in the same catagory as the fenslerfilm gijoes that turned up on the Toonami board or General Animation a long time a go IIRC.
