The original print of the film has been on YouTube for years. But the new version of this 1986 Super Mario Bros anime looks clean. Back in the day, the original was made with a 16mm reduction tape used for small screenings whereas the new one has used improved cinematography, graphics, colors, and other things, which looks like nothing but a 21st-century film.
