I think they were going for a real kingdom of dinosaurland that was present in the earlier games. Princess Daisy was her name instead of peach. Still it is weird and it feels a lot of plot was cut

Terrible movie that in my opinion is so bad it's actually entertaining to watch. I have terrible taste.

Oh, I totally enjoy it in a so-bad-it's-good kind of way. I just remember hating it when I was younger because it was nothing like the video game.

Yeah I'm not sure how they would have incorporated the video game in there.

haha. I'm not even sure what I was expecting. I suppose in my 12-year-old mind I expected them to just visually recreate the video game in their set design, costumes, etc.

I suppose if the movie had been made today, they could have done a lot of it using CGI. But I think it would have actually looked pretty cool recreated using practical effects, sets, etc.

The initial script went through many rewrites that you can read here http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/preproduction/script.htm

Even the actors were disappointed in signing up for a movie that had numerous writers changing the script.
