Nintendo has had an interesting relationship with the film company Universal Pictures. In 1982, Universal attempted to sue Nintendo for its 1981 arcade hit Donkey Kong being similar to their 1933 film "King Kong", to no avail. Universal would then feature a fictional video game tournament set at Universal Studios in the 1989 film "The Wizard", which also marked the debut appearance of Super Mario Bros. 3 in America. This film would later inspire Nintendo and Universal to host the real-life Nintendo World Championships at Universal Studios Hollywood in 1990. 25 years later, Nintendo and Universal would announce a collaboration with the development of Super Nintendo World located in various Universal Studios theme parks around the world. This partnership would then culminate in another collaboration with the 2023 film "The Super Mario Bros. Movie".
