The Super Mario Bros. Movie originally had a very different Mario Kart segment
The Super Mario Bros. Movie has a Mario Kart scene that’s arguably the biggest action segment in the film. It’s filled with all kinds of twists and turns (literally!), along with a ton of characters and some major set pieces.
Everyone knows that what we see in movies goes through multiple iterations before it makes it to the final cut, and not surprisingly, that appears to be the case for The Super Mario Bros. Movie. A new set of design docs has revealed that there were originally some very different plans for how this scene played out, including some characters that didn’t make the cut for the final film.
Here’s what was discovered in the design docs prior to the team’s film nailing down their vision.
