Mario 3 was released in NA on February 12, 1990. Does anybody know if Nintendo Power had this kind of information about SMB 3 before it was released? Really doesn't matter, just a curiosity. I remember SMW pretty well, but was simply too young to remember at this point. Is this conjecture, or do you know? I'm genuinely curious.

But then that tension is immediately ruined by Jimmy magically knowing about items that he shouldn't even know exists. This plot hole only exists to create false tension. There's a roar from the crowd, but that's pretty much it.

He announces Mario 3 and all we see is it show up on the three screens, then Lucas walks towards his station.

I just rewatched the scene and realized there's no actual reaction shots. If you didn't follow the video game magazines, you probably didn't know what games were coming out. You didn't have sites like IGN or GameSpy. reply shareĪnticipation for games wasn't the same then as it is now. Nintendo Power wouldn't feature these tips and neither would the help line. They did, in order to showcase them for the film. There is no way Jimmy, Corey or Hailey would have or should have known about any of the details of the game.

Doesn't seem to match the reaction one would expect for such an anticipated title.īut I digress. When he says 'SUPER.MARIO BROTHERS.THREEEEEEEE!!!!!' and the screens open up, there is no reaction from any of them. When the MC tells them that they will need to play a new game, they look surprised. The whole point was that this was the worlds introduction to Mario 3. You need to watch the movie again, because EVERYONE looked surprised.
