* DoingItForTheArt: Roland Joffé believes that reason Nintendo gave Lightmotive the rights to the movie over the big name studios and gave them so much free reign over the project was because they believed that ''Super Mario'' was too big to fail and they just wanted to see what kind of effect a big budget movie would have on the franchise.

** Creator/DustinHoffman expressed interest in playing Mario as a treat for his kids but was rejected by Minoru Arakawa who believed him to be an ill fit for the role. Creator/DannyDevito was Nintendo's top pick to play Mario and he was also offered the opportunity to direct, with negotiations going so far that he allowed the studio to use his name in early pre-production interviews. However, he wanted to read a script first and dropped out when the studio failed to provide him with one. Creator/TomHanks was then offered the leading role only for Nintendo and the producers to quickly decide against hiring him. His then-recent movie output had been underwhelming and he was asking for too big of a paycheck, so Hanks was replaced with Hoskins, whom the executives thought was more profitable. Creator/BrunoKirby was also considered.
** Creator/KevinCostner, Creator/MichaelKeaton and Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger were all considered for Koopa.
** According to Mojo Nixon, he was cast in the role of Toad because the production wanted an actual musician for the character, but their first choice Music/TomWaits was unavailable. Nixon's agent pitched him to casting as a [[PoorMansSubstitute "third-rate Tom Waits—for half-price."]]
** Creator/HaroldRamis, who was a fan of ''Super Mario'', was the producers' original choice for director but he turned down their offer. Ramis would later remark on his relief in having turned down the job due to its many issues.
** The first draft of the script, Script/SuperMarioBros1991, was a pure fantasy movie. Bowser only disguises himself as a human in his first two scenes, the Princess character is named Hildy, and Bowser wants to marry her in order to obtain the Crown of Invincibility with which to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. Actual game enemies such as Piranha Plants and Thwomps make appearances, Toad accompanies the Marios throughout their journey as a main character, a baby dinosaur named Junior thinks Mario is his mother, Luigi gets Raccoon Power at one point, one of Bowser's lackeys (a possible prototype for Kamek) tells Mario "YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle", Mario and Luigi sing a VillainSong about Bowser, and Bowser [[DisneyVillainDeath ends up falling into a pit of lava]]. In other words, this draft is much more faithful to the games.
** Five early scripts, including the aforementioned Fantasy script, can be read on [[http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/preproduction/script.htm The Super Mario Bros. The Movie Archive's Scripts page]].
** According to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/bored/tvguidesimpsons5.html this]] issue of ''Magazine/TVGuide'', the movie was originally planned to be released in 1991 and would have been animated.
** Music/JerryGoldsmith was attached to score the film but pulled out due to scheduling conflicts (Music/AlanSilvestri filled in).
** Mario's character was written differently before Bob Hoskins was attached to the role. Screenwriter Parker Bennett described him as "Creator/BillMurray-esque", closer in age to Luigi,[[note]]Hoskins and Leguizamo were twenty-two years apart.[[/note]] and that they had Creator/BrunoKirby in mind for the role.
--->[...]what we decided is, "Okay, Mario has a big chip on his shoulder about being a plumber. He’s inherited his dad’s business [and] it's not what he wants to do"; it’s sort of a ''Film/ItsAWonderfulLife'' thing with Creator/JimmyStewart at the bank when he wants to be traveling the world.\\
[…] And in the end he learns through the adventure that he’s the greatest plumber in the world and he needs his brother and they’re a team together and that was sort of what we were trying to do for that.
** The biggest one was the reason Jeffrey Katzenberg bought the rights to thispage]]''film for Creator/{{Disney}}. Had the film been successful, the Walt Disney Company would have then started efforts to market Nintendo and their franchises, led of course by the Super Mario franchise, in the Ride/DisneyThemeParks. Katzenberg and [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney Animation]] were also working with Creator/{{Sega}} to a limited degree for the same reasons with the ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' [[VideoGame/AladdinVirginGames video game]], and both attempts virtually faded when Katzenberg departed the company the [[Creator/DreamWorksAnimation next year]]. Their attempt specifically to bring the Nintendo franchises into the Disney parks ended up biting them in the ass later on when major rival Ride/UniversalStudios struck a [[Ride/SuperNintendoWorld licensing deal with Nintendo]] in May 2015 (and it ended up stinging Disney even more when Creator/{{Universal}} later announced that it would be producing [[WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie an animated]] ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie Mario]]'' [[WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie movie through]] Creator/IlluminationEntertainment in 2018, with the end result released in 2023).
