Earlier this year we got The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a fairly faithful representation of the games in animated form. Of course long time Nintendo fans will know it wasn’t the IP’s first foray on the big screen, with 1993’s Super Mario Bros. being a very unique take on the series.
If you’ve been intrigued by the movie then you might want to save some money for this latest announcement from Umbrella Home Entertainment. The new Trust the Fungus 30th Anniversary edition of Super Mario Bros. will include the film’s first 4K restoration, which is impressive on its own, but it’s the rest of the included goodies that are a treat for fans of the bizarre adventure.
Specifically, the new collector’s edition will feature…
- A brand new 4K restoration from original camera negative
- Over 250 page hardback bound book including a host of production materials, interviews and artwork
- Over 200 page bound book of scripts including early drafts
- Genuine Super Mario Bros. film cell in collectable case
- Replica A6 1993 34 page Souvenir magazine
- Classic artwork designed outer rigid slipcase
- Classic artwork design slipcase
- 8 replica lobby cards
- 2 x A3 reversible posters featuring UK, Australian, Thai and Japanese original posters
- Sticker sheet
- Limited Edition numbered release
Of course all this bonus content comes with a price tag though it’s fairly reasonable at $100.00 USD. As for when it’ll ship out, you can expect to strap on your jumping shoes in January 2024.

Whether it’s an exciting new entry in a series long established or a weird experiment meant only for the dedicated, Tom is eager to report on it. Rest assured, if Nintendo ever announces Elite Beat Agents 2, he’ll be there.
