The Super Mario Bros. movie may well be considered to be pretty awful by most, but it still has a small group of dedicated fans and it would appear that they've stumbled across something of a goldmine.
The folks over at SMBmovie.com, a website which is dedicated to cataloguing just about every last detail that can possibly be squeezed out of the movie and its merchandise, have managed to get their hands on a VHS tape containing cut footage from the film. The tape appeared on eBay alongside materials owned by the film's primary producer, Roland Joffé.
The deleted scenes come in the form of an extended rough cut of the final film, with around 15 minutes' worth of additional footage present in total. SMBmovie.com is slowly starting to roll out the new footage in parts, starting with the video below.
As you can see, the footage is indeed 'rough', but does include some interesting little tidbits of info. As SMBmovie notes, the scene shown establishes Mario's full name - Mario Mario - before the story hits Dinohattan's Police Station, and also shows the origins of Mario's "Nobody touches my tools!" line which would go on to be included on merchandise for the film.
As we mentioned above, more clips of footage are expected to be shared on SMBmovie's YouTube channel going forward, so make sure to keep an eye out if you want more.

All the scenes should be deleted.
Well if any of the scenes didn’t make the final cut of that fantastic piece of cinema they are bound to be pure gold.
LOL, didn't know there's a website dedicated to this disaster.
If this movie actually got a sequel, we could've get another Scapelli worker named Wario Wario as the main antagonist.
Mario’s full name is Mario Mario. What a unique first and last name.
There isn't a single thing they could add to that movie to make it good.
Yes I happen to be a fan of this film and I'm not afraid to admit it. ^_^
Here is a video on the history of the making of the now infamous movie:
I was hoping Bob Hoskins was going to break out the top of the scene, find a warp pipe and skip to the end of the movie.
I really want to watch that film again, been trying to find it somewhere. It's in my "So bad it's Good" part of my mind
Therefore, Luigi's full name is Luigi Mario, and "Mario Brothers" all makes sense.
I enjoyed this film as a kid and it holds a very nostalgic place in my kid at heart self. I got to see a pre-release screening of this and it had a special ticket and everything.
So... you’re saying there were worse scenes than the ones they actually used in the movie??
Remember the Koopa song.
I love this movie. Saw it twice in the theater. I never understood the hate. They were trying to push the characters in a new direction in new medium. I don't know if something more fantasy based would have worked either. I still have my three collectible cups from 7-11!!
Loved this as a kid. Still like it as an adult and watch every couple years.
Still better than the Sonic movie....
This movie is so dismal it's actually good, so long as you don't try to think of it as a licensed SMB film and think of it more as a Deviantart tribute to 80's post-Star Wars post-Ghost Busters film craze period.
It couldn't be farther from an actual SMB licensed project if it tried.
@Heavyarms55 More Daisy.
Also I really miss Bob Hoskins
@NEStalgia Its good for ragging on. That's about it.
These are the deleted scenes, which should of stayed deleted.
@ReaperExTenebris I think it comes down to clearly the people who made this film, never played the game.
Lol this whole movie should have been a "deleted scene" its almost a crime scene, that bad.. 😂😅
Bob Hoskins was a good actor, he's one of the few bright spots in the movie.
I was 12 when this came out and it was awesome! Was quite a trip out for a 12 year old. No complaints from me!!
@AnnoyingFrenzy not the bomb-omb scene.
The bomb omb Reebok scene, the entire theatre loled so hard. Priceless, even if it was product placement.
During the hey day of the Reebok pump of course. You were either a Reebok pump kid or a nike air max kid.
Every time I see that Goomba I think it’s a Ghoulie 😟
I enjoyed the film growing up. Very campy. I also live in the same town they filmed the movie in and people around here have a lot of the props.
@Shiryu or the Dinosaur dance.
"Everyone do the Dinosaur.."
I don't care. It was dumb. It was cheesy. But I loved the movie. The casting was well done and it ended on a cliffhanger, leaving it open for a sequel that, let's face it, we all knew would never see the light of day. But my 7 year old mind was absolutely blown.
Should have lost the whole movie.
Looks like a sliggy
@Priceless_Spork
"sliggy"?
