Trivia
When Mario approaches the arena in Glitzville for the battle with Rawk Hawk, one of the crowd members calls him Jumpman. This is the name Mario went by in the original Donkey Kong (1981).

Goofs
When Mario and his friends blastoff to the moon in a giant cannon, they aren't wearing astronaut space suits, it wouldn't be possible for Mario and one of his ally friends to survive, as there's no oxygen and they would literally freeze on the moon. However the game got the moon jumping with Mario correct as the moons gravity is 6 times lighter than Earths gravity.

Quotes
Crow 1: [listening in] I've been really depressed lately, thinking about the depletion of fossil fuels.
Crow 2: Yeah, tell me about it. We've got to come up with a renewable energy source before that happens...
Crow 3: Like wind, or hydroelectric... I think solar energy probably has the greatest potential.

Alternate versions
In 2024, an enhanced remastered version will become available on the Nintendo Switch.

Loves it.

As a player of Mario games since I was a teenager, I was soooo horribly disappointed by Super Mario Sunshine and was doubtful the Mario writers could ever pull off another great Mario game...Well they proved me wrong, thank God. My five year old and I LOVE this game-it's not too hard for him with my help and still engaging enough to keep me in front of it for hours. I have never played the original on N64 so I can't compare them, but this version is a great RPG with a decent storyline, combining elements and characters from all of the previous games. We bought the book with it, but I don't think it's entirely necessary for this one. Every die hard Mario should at least rent it and give it a try.
