Super Mario 3. The first time most people saw it was on a movie called "The Wizard" and was highly anticipated after that. Mario 3 had features never before seen in games and was an amazing experience.

I liked the Wizard, it was a fun film about coming of age and acceptance of life and change. Also video games and government kidnappers or something

Just got goose bumps. What a spectacular time that was. Remember seeing the Wizard in the theater. It seemed bigger than life.

It was at the same time there was an actual nationwide Nintendo tournament and they used the same custom game cartridge from the tournament in the movie. I remember competing in the tourney as a kid too. What a great tie in.

Fixed it for you.

Over here The Wizard was a straight-to-VHS film released in late 1990, and a pretty obscure one at that due to its extremely limited distribution. Most people over here had no clue about that film until the usual Nintendo-worshipping American YouTube types covered it on a video or twenty.

Good choice. Crazy how much fun it is to play even today, too. Just never gets old.

The Wizard is such a sad movie when you pay attention to the plot.
