Super Mario (1993: Live-action movie)

Mario Mario is the titular protagonist in the infamous Super Mario Bros. live-action movie from 1993. He was played by the late Bob Hoskins who also played in Roger Rabbit which is a better film.

Why He Wasn't Super
NOTE: This will focus on the 1993 live-action film's incarnation of the character, so do not add any bad qualities from the game and movie incarnations.
 * 1) Unlike his original counterpart, which had a lot of character and personality behind him, this version of Mario barley has any personality aside from being a regular plumber.
 * 2) This version of Mario is very disrespectful to his own source material, something that his game and other media incarnations would never do.
 * 3) * Like Luigi, he doesn't have an Italian accents despite this being one of his most famous characteristics, but this was common in other better Mario media made at the time, including the DIC TV shows, and the Golden Book. Super Mario Bros: Trapped in the Perilous Pit.
 * 4) His character design is very unfaithful towards his original counterpart, with him looking more like a 40 year old man cosplaying as Mario than a mid to late 20 year old Italian man.
 * 5) *Unlike his video game counterpart, he does not wear his signature outfit consisting of a red cap, a matching shirt, with blue overalls, white gloves, and brown boots until near the climax of the film.
 * 6) There was one scene where he said he couldn't jump like the games, unlike in the games where he can jump.
 * 7) His dialogue is very ill and horrible.
 * 8) As being a hero in the film, he barely does act like a hero, not helping that he's supposed to be the main protagonist. Doesn't this sound awfully familiar?
 * 9) Despite being the main protagonist and getting a fair amount of screen time, he barely has any focus in the film. Luigi, for some reason, gets a lot more focus in this film instead of Mario, and is treated as the film's main protagonist, despite Mario being the titular protagonist of this movie and the entire Super Mario franchise, and Luigi being the deuteragonist.
 * 10) *He does a bit to save Daisy, but almost. doesn't he usually save Princess Peach in the games?'
 * 11) *Also he should've rescued Toad from being turned transformed into a Goomba, but he was just staring at Bowser using the devo. Watch this scene.
 * 12) He is apart of the gary stu trope.
 * 13) He was so bad that his actor who played him, Bob Hoskins, disliked the character.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Despite his flaws, Bob Hoskins at least did a decent job with the role for him and he does have a good chemistry with John Leguizamo's role as Luigi.
 * 2) While not 100 percent accurate, the outfit that he wears to infiltrate the Koopa Tower at least resembles his signature outfit in the video games.
