The ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' film, released on May 28, 1993, is a science fiction live-action movie adaptation of the series, loosely based on the games, and the first Hollywood adaptation of a video game property. The film starred [[Bob Hoskins]] and [[John Leguizamo]] as [[Mario (film character)|Mario]] and [[Luigi (film character)|Luigi]] respectively (both considered separate from the original video game characters), [[Dennis Hopper]] as "[[President Koopa]]" (representing Bowser), and [[Samantha Mathis]] as a young woman named [[Princess Daisy (film character)|Daisy]] (unrelated to the character from the games). The movie's plot centers around the Mario brothers, a pair of down-on-their-luck plumbers from Brooklyn, as they discover a parallel universe called "[[Dinohattan]]", dictated by President Koopa. When Koopa seeks to merge the two dimensions together so that he can rule both worlds, the heroes must stop him with help from Daisy, who finds out that she is the daughter of the world's displaced king. The film was a {{wp|box office bomb}}, grossing only $20.9 million on a $48 million budget, and was panned by critics, with a 15% aggregate score on {{wp|Rotten Tomatoes}}. However, it did receive two {{wp|Saturn Award}} nominations, one for Best Costume and the other for Best Makeup. The film has since gained a cult following, leading to future re-releases and a [[Super Mario Bros. (film)#Sequel webcomic|fan-made sequel comic]] supervised by one of the movie's original writers. | The ''[[Super Mario Bros.
