"While it isn't as bad as it was initially built up to be, it is an early example of why videogames don't make good movies."

"Describing the storyline of Super Mario Brothers is a difficult chore, considering how little intelligible plot there is. I suppose it's only natural to expect this, considering the source material. As everyone knows, arcade-style diversions are not known for strong, original narratives or well-developed characters. In that sense, this film is worthy of its inspiration."
  -- James Berardinelli, ReelViews

"The underground, sewer-pipe world here may seem familiar from the "Ninja Turtle" movies, but aside from the pizza Koopa orders just before he puts his evil plan into action, the similarities end there. Nothing in those films can compare with the Goombas (who are the best movie heavies since the flying monkeys in "The Wizard of Oz") or the adorable Yoshi. "Super Mario Bros." may be junk, but it's superior junk. It wipes the floor with those turtle dudes."
  -- Hal Hinson, Washington Post

"Loud, frenetic and facile, Super Mario Bros. is full of noisy sound and cartoon fury, signifying… a sequel."
  -- Hollis Chacona

"Don't go into this film with any early expectations or carry any of the hype. It'll simply ruin the whole movie experience."
