Wreck It Ralph director Rich Moore and producer Clark Spencer admitted that they came across a few minor problems when collaborating with Nintendo, Sega and Capcom for the forthcoming Disney film. Moore says that Nintendo originally said that their version of Bowser was far too small, so they asked the production team to rectify this.
“We did have kind of a check-in process, where we would show them the footage and say, ‘What do you think? Is it good?’ At one point, [Nintendo] said, ‘Bowser’s much bigger than that. He’s way bigger than Zangief.’ We were like, ‘Okay, we’ll make him bigger. How’s that?’ They’d say, ‘Yes, that’s good — but he wouldn’t drink his coffee like that. He wouldn’t make that mouth.’ [Laughs] Of course, then people from Sega said, ‘Well, Doctor Robotnik is bigger.’ [Laughs] They wanted their characters bigger and bigger. We were going to end up with these giants in a room, with Ralph as this little guy…”
Does it really matter?
I mean, Nintendo is NINTENDO , And bowser is WAY BETTER villian than Sega’s entire world.
How did that guy compare Segas villians to nintendo? He didn’t so stop being stuck in the early 1990’s and shut up.
I agree with you, but Nintendo and Sega’s rivalry lasted until the Dreamcast which was in the 2000s. :D
they became allies after 2001
Not really, they just put their differences aside and stopped with the bitching.
And anyway, the Dreamcast was launched in the late 90s, failing in 2000/01.
well sega was more competing with the playstation 2 than the gamecube tbh but true :P
Sega was having trouble competing against Nintendo at all, so they had to try and get the upper ground against Sony, which failed.
Bigger – If you know what I mean.
*makes Mr. Bean face*
How do we make Bowser bigger?
Magic *snort snort*
I just noticed something… I know Wreck-It Ralph’s character riffs on him and all, but where’s Donkey Kong?
Donkey Kong is hardly a villain these days.
They based Ralph on DK so it would be confusing
He would be in there as Cranky Kong. He is one of those video game characters that actually aged. And the modern Donkey Kong has only been a villian in MvsDK.
Actually they were right about how he drinks his coffee– Bowser is left-handed!
Haha I like that they’re working with the game companies on it rather than the companys just saying whatever you can use the characters
Can’t blame Nintendo for wanting to oversee the development after the infamous Mario movie.
Yeah, I’m glad for that
That movie…. Ugh
This is why every game characters should have a profile’s information
I suppose he ought to be bigger than Zangief. He was bloody HUGE in Mario Sunshine, after all. And don’t get me started on Galaxy 2…
His size seems to change throughout the series, look at his normal size in the NSMB games and Galaxy 1, compare that to on the NES games, it’s a huge difference
Or the end of NSMB Wii…
this
Wouldn’t bison from street fighter be better then zangif? Idk i never seen zangif as a bad guy just a wrestler that fight for money. & fame i rather see akuma talk about being a bad guy drinking coffee imo
I think Bison is in this movie as well.
But Zangiff is russia so he is bad and red becuase FOR AMERICA!!!
In america lol
Bowser is too small.
Now here is my thoughts on the new Wii U Box Art
no
your just gay lol
I’m gay cause I posted my own thoughts? Wouldn’t that make you gay too sir?
Yes we are both gay.
Nah JK, no offense man. I was being stupid Xp
Which one is Bowser?
The big Russian wrestler
Thanks!
Gives a fuck ? Bowser is a shit villain anyways and bowser is fucking small ..I played Mario games and he’s just slightley bigger than Mario…Nintendo are just ignorant and stupid , that’s why Nintendo is shit .
Oooook.
Right. Thanks for your opinion.
Bowser was smoking gamers before you were born.
Oh! go play your two exclusive having console with villains that are Samu’s space pirate rip-offs lol. Or is it the other system with the SSBB rip-off lol.
I’m guessing you never played Super Mario Sun Shine then.
Also, that name is so ironic, if you hate Nintendo so much then why name yourself after one of their characters.
Ness is actually a REAL name…shock horror?
So get off this site, crybaby troll. No one wants to hear your ignorant garbage.
Bowser has been many different sizes in many games, they should be able to just use one of his smaller appearances and be fine.
Agreed. Not TOO small, but a smaller size would work better for the movie’s purposes.
Eh, Bowser has mastered the art of shapeshifting and such (well, at least in this anime).
Or maybe it was a different part of this episode. I couldn’t find the specific clip.
It is implied in the Super Mario Bros. instruction booklet that the Koopa clan, including Bowser, are masters of dark magic. That should explains the size changing and other abilities not counting the fire breath.
True that as well! :D
Nintendo changes Bowser’s size ALL THE TIME between sports games and main games. I assumed it was never an issue for them.
He wasn’t really big in SSBB, so I don’t see why complaining.
But, according to Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (all 3 of them), Bowser is like an inch taller than Eggman…from what I can remember. xP And I imagine Ralph being just a bit taller than Luigi. I dunno, picky Nintendo is picky.
I really like The lngeed of Zelda Ocarina of Time, its my favorite game. And I love that they edited it and made it for the 3ds, but I kinda wish they made it for the wii
I always picture mario at zangiff’s nipple so bowser a little high.
Can’t Bowser change size? Because he was massive in Super Mario Sun Shine but in other games he is sort of big and sometimes he is the same size as mario
Bowser has the most inconsistent size throughout the franchise, so I’m not sure why they’re even saying this.
You made him small yourself in Mario Kart, Mario Tennis, loads of games -.-
I’m still surprised that he’s in the movie
i thought a picture of my penis a girl drew was too small, so told her to draw a bigger one.
Really clever. You must be known as a funny guy.
His size constantly changes throughout the games anyway(Especially in the sports titles, where he is considerably small).
Anyway, I can barely contain my excitement for this Disney animation.
That guy at SEGA is lieing his ass off. Eggman IS that big, and definitely not on Bowser’s level. Eggman is a HUMAN, not an alien. He’s tall and looks exactly like that. In my opinion, I had no problem with Bowser either. In the Mario Party, Mario Kart, Mario & Sonic, and Mario Sports series, Bowser was that size. In the main series, Bowser is HUUUUUUUUGE. Can we at least say that?
