En una entrevista para «Inside the Magic», Jason Hand artista de la Película, ha confirmado que Mario no aparecerá dentro del elenco de Ralph Breaks the Internet. Aunque no se explica algún motivo en especifico sobre esto, Hand solo menciona el hecho de que no pueden tener ciertas licencias de personajes para la película y que ese tipo de negociaciones están fuera de sus manos.
Hand: Some of the stuff was that we don’t have rights to certain characters, because we’re working in a world of other people’s media. It’s like, that would have been really funny if we could have Mario [from Nintendo’s Super Mario games] in here doing this part, but it doesn’t end up working out because of that, and it’s fine and the story doesn’t actually end up needing it. But as individual bits, it’s like “That’s a great ‘Saturday Night Live’ bit!” Rich [Moore] and Phil [Johnston, the movie’s co-directors] are pretty much full of those things so it’s an endless amount of great ideas, honestly.
ITM: It’s interesting that they wouldn’t give you Mario because you had Bowser [from Super Mario Bros.] in the first movie, I thought.
Hand: Yeah, I don’t know the logistics of any of that stuff. That’s above my pay grade.
