I can see the connection you're making. It's quite a bit more strange and darker than the original, and is greatly under appreciated. For the record, I prefer this movie to the original, and Super Mario Bros. 2 is my favorite of the series, so it makes sense.

Super Mario Bros. 2 worked, plus there isn't a direct follow-up to this.
