" Wreck-It Ralph director Rich Moore has spoken about why Mario didn&amp;#039;t make it into the movie. Moore told Digital Spy that the gaming icon&amp;#039;s absence was nothing to do with Nintendo&amp;#039;s licensing, as has been speculated.   &amp;quot;Over the course of developing the story I was always looking for the perfect moment or scene to include Mario,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;But it had to be organic, it had to feel like [the scene] was made for him and unfortunately as we were developing the story and taking it to where it needed to go, that moment never made itself clear.&amp;quot; Wreck-It Ralph does feature Super Mario&amp;#039;s Bowser, who was said to be perfect for the Bad-Anon scenes for recovering villains. Moore added that there may be a future for the Nintendo star in a subsequent instalment, claiming: &amp;quot;If we&amp;#039;re lucky enough to have a sequel then we&amp;#039;ll create that moment that&amp;#039;s perfect for [Mario].&amp;quot; &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Wreck-It Ralph&amp;#039; review: A fine tribute to the world of video games &amp;gt; Jane Lynch interview: &amp;#039;Wreck-It Ralph&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;Glee&amp;#039; and classic Disney &amp;gt; Retro Corner: &amp;#039;GoldenEye 007&amp;#039; (N64) Wreck-It Ralph is out now in UK cinemas.
