Wizard was one of my favorite movies growing up. I remember being very excited about mario 3 at the time and thought the kids playing were so lucky. I havent watched it in a long long time. Good movie.

well the avgn DID point out that the wizard was one big advertisement, mostly for that power glove, and just to make everyone in the U.S. go nuts over super mario bros. 3 before it got released in the states

I might catch some flack for this, but I have NEVER watched The Wizard. I've known about it for quite some time, but wasn't interested in it when it was released in theaters, and never was able to build up any interest in it thereafter.
As has been discussed here in the forums (see: http://retro-daze.org/site/thread/456 ), 1989 was a huge year for movies, with Batman taking the lead. This film never stood a chance to earn my movie ticket money.
But now, with the nostalgia factor of it increasing every year, I think it's time I give this movie a viewing. It's a long time coming, but it's time to scratch this one off my bucket list. :)
