In terms of establishing the fundamental aesthetic of the 1990s strand of cinematic cyberpunk, the 1993 Super Mario Bros. adaptation is probably up there with Johnny Mnemonic and Lawnmower Man influence-wise, as much as we all hate to admit it.
I don't think that's a particularly controversial or contentious thing to say. After all, Morton and Jankel were angling to direct the Snow Crash movie that was rumored to be gearing up for production at the time!
