Mario will not appear in Wreck It Ralph
Coming from a Total Film interview with producer Clark Spencer...
TF: Why isn't Mario in the film?
CS: "The hard thing was, we were trying to work out the right way to use a character like Mario.
It had to be organic to the film, we didn't want to just paste him in there.
For Bowser, it made perfect sense for him to be a member of the Bad Anon group.
For Mario himself we couldn't think of the right way to incorporate him into the film, and so we didn't do it.
Full interview here (thanks Ukari!)
