‘Mystery Science Theater’ guys release riff of cheesy gaming classic ‘The Wizard’

Everyone’s favorite Nintendo savant is back, and it’s time to laugh at him.

Rifftrax, a site about making fun of movies (also called “riffs”) from the Mystery Science Theater 3000 crew, just released its take on The Wizard. For those of you unlucky enough to have never seen this classic, it is a 1989 Hollywood film about a boy who is gifted at playing video games. Naturally, he ends up going to California to compete in a Nintendo competition where the publisher reveals Super Mario Bros. 3 for the first time. Even back when the movie first came out, kids could tell that this was really one big commercial for Nintendo and its products. But that doesn’t mean it is lacking in entertainment!
