This month, Nintendo fans of all ages can look forward to seeing The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which is based on the iconic video game series. Mario first appeared in the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong. Despite being one of the most popular video game characters in history, there hasn’t been a full-length animated film about Mario since 1986. In 1993, there was a live-action Super Mario film, but it was unsuccessful. The film’s reception disappointed Nintendo, and the company wasn’t willing to let Mario return to the big screen.
這個月，所有年齡層的任天堂粉絲都可以期待看到《超級瑪利歐兄弟電影版》，它是根據具有代表性的電玩遊戲系列改編而成。瑪利歐首次出現於 1981 年的一款街機遊戲《大金剛》。雖然是史上最受歡迎的電玩角色之一，但自 1986 年起就沒有任何一部關於瑪利歐的長篇動畫電影。1993 年曾有一部真人版瑪利歐電影，但它沒有成功。大家對這部電影的反應讓任天堂感到失望，也使得該公司不願讓瑪利歐重返大銀幕。
