  • Plot wise it would have some Wizard of Oz elements and DNA (though obviously it wouldn't be a dream) with elements like the brothers encountering elements and characters foreshadowing their adventure as well the many characters they'll come across
  • Bowser obviously would be mostly prosthetic makeup applied to Tim Curry all the while enemies like the koopas and goombas are mostly puppets and with some like the thwomps for example being stop motion and even Bowser himself turning into a monster done via stop motion
  • This is better.
