Toad had the lead role in Wario's Woods. In fact, Toad, Birdo and Wario were the only Mario characters in it, and Birdo was not present in the Japanese version.

I still can't get over Bowser's shape-shifting ability. How come they never made him do that in the games? I think it would be kinda cool.

After watching those clips again, I have discoverecd a few things that may have actually inspired certain features of later Mario games. I happened to notice that quite a few things in the movie are not present in the game it's based on.

1. Peach left behind a crystal pendant. Something similar happened in the live-action Mario movie.
2. The little blue dog-like creature looks like a prototype Wiggler(SMW) and may also have been an inspiration for Poochie(YI).
3. Luigi wears yellow and also appears to be an aspiring treasure hunter. This depiction of Luigi may have been an inspiration behind Wario(SML2).
4. Mario and Luigi are not plumbers. Instead, they are running a general store. Miyamoto probably never intended for them to be plumbers anyway.
5. The Goombas lead Luigi to a field of mood-changing mushrooms. We all know that different types of mushrooms did not appear until SMB:TLL.
6. Bowser is able to shape-shift. Rather odd.
7. Mario and Luigi are seen walking across a variety of different landscapes. Some of which look like the ones from SMB3.
8. The paratroopa acts like a bird. Also odd.
9. Bowser and all of his minions look much larger than in the games.
10. A village of various Mushroom People is attacked in one scene. We didn't see Mushroom Villages until SMRPG.
11. The guy who appears to be some sort of sage looks like something out of Zelda.
12. Mario chases the dog-thing through a pile of pipes. Pipes didn't appear in piles until SMB3.

So there you have it. Thats all of the things I managed to wring from those clips. This movie did look rather interesting to watch in full. It sort of reminds me of Felix the Cat: The Movie which I recall being very similar to the Mario games.

I hate the fact that SonicTeam has to add another mew character for every freaken mew Sonic game that comes out!! What about all the old characters like Fang the Sniper and Mighty the Armadillo!? First Shadow came along, and he was alright, but then they kept adding more and more useless characters like Cream the Rabbit, Blaze the Cat, Jet the Hawk, Wave the Swallow and Storm the Albatross, most of which are are rip-offs of already existing characters!! The worst part is that(with the exception of Cream) these characters appear ONCE and never return again!!!
Now, I hear news of a another hedgehog appearing in the new Sonic game for the 360 and another new character in Sonic Rivals on the PSP!! How big can the cast get!? The problem with these characters is that they only show up for one game and hog the spotlight throughout it, and none of the classic characters like Sonic, Tails and Knuckles get the proper billing they deserve. Man, I miss the god old Sonic vs. Eggman days. Toobad Eggman is naver the main villan anymore. He's always replaced by some other more powerful entity and ends up having to help Sonic. This is not good. *sighs*

That looked a bit weird, although I wonder how well received it would be if it were dubbed for american release. Something similar happened with Sonic, why not Mario?
