No, you haven't eaten any magic mushrooms. These things really are true.
Super Mario Bros. was the first video game franchise-based movie
and it set the tone for how terrible video game movies usually are.

Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario as well as other classic Nintendo franchises, thought that the movie was bad because it was actually too similar to the game.
He told Edge Online the following: "The one thing that I still have some regrets about is that the movie may have tried to get a little too close to what the Mario Bros. video games were. And in that sense, it became a movie that was about a video game, rather than being an entertaining movie in and of itself."
Yes, he thought a movie that had next to nothing to do with the video game was too close to the source material. Wow.
Thwomps actually "appear" in the film...
it's just that they show up in boot form; the boots in the alternate dinosaur universe are called "Thwomp Stompers"

Bob Hoskins said doing the movie was "a f***in' nightmare"
Hoskins told The Guardian: "The worst thing I ever did? Super Mario Brothers. It was a fuckin' nightmare. The whole experience was a nightmare. It had a husband-and-wife team directing, whose arrogance had been mistaken for talent. After so many weeks their own agent told them to get off the set! Fuckin' nightmare. Fuckin' idiots."
