      During a chase scene, Bob Hoskins broke his finger when the van's door slammed on his hand. For the rest of the film, Hoskins is wearing a cast that was painted pink to look like a hand.
    • Goofs
      On the Blu-ray edition, during the sequence in which the Bob-omb is crossing the road (at around 1h 30 mins), the string pulling it across can be seen clearly.

    • Crazy credits
      After the closing credits, some Japanese business men ask Iggy and Spike about appearing in a video game based on the incidents in the movie.
    • Alternate versions
      In the Italian release, the ending is cut so Mario and Luigi don't go back to Brooklyn.

    A very dark version of the light-hearted series.
    Okay, I'll avoid everyone's usual comments of why they hated this movie and such. My main gripe with this awful film is one reason: the setting. In all Mario games, from Super Mario Bros. to Mario 64 to Mario Sunshine to Mario Party to Mario Tennis to Mario Golf to Mario Kart to Mario RPG to Super Mario World, and even in the 3 cartoon shows and in Smash Bros. I might add, the settings have always been happy, light-hearted, and made the person playing feel welcome to world of the Mushroom Kingdom. However, in the motion picture, we are taken to a very cold, hi-tech, dismal metropolis. Instead of a light-hearted, happy-go-lucky, feeling, we are now facing a dark and even depressing tone. Nothing of this setting makes the viewer feel welcome to the world like the games and cartoons did, which is why this fails to capture the real spirit of Mario(and Luigi).
