120. Hotel Mario - hombad46

I cant say Hotel Mario was the worst thing to ever happen to Mario, since this exists:

But this intro is trash, and not even trash thats at least arguably got some humor value like the Zelda CD-i intro, which is also on the list (thanks for nominating both, hombad).

The animation is ugly, Bowsers over-the-top evil laugh doesnt fit the tone of the sequence or his appearance, Luigi is a stereotype obsessed with spaghetti, and the animators were so lazy they decided to cover Marios mouth with a sheet of paper to avoid having to make it move for a very long 15 seconds.

But the worst part comes near the end when they inexplicably devoted a chunk of this sequence to Mario telling the players they could consult the instruction book if they need instructions on how to play. While Im not a fan of characters in a game reminding you its a video game by telling you to press the X button, at least that isnt an insult to the intelligence of the player. But the creators of this game obviously believed anyone stupid enough to have purchased this and to continue playing despite the intro would need to be told what an instruction manual is for. And because thats apparently the most important part of the sequence, more so than the half-assed plot about Koopa hotels, the screen stays frozen on Marios motionless face for about five seconds.

To sum up, this intro is crap.
