{{Quote2|You may think of evolution as an upward process. [[Dinohattanite|Things]] evolve from primeval slime, up to single-cell organisms, up to intelligent life. De-evolution, of course, works the opposite way. Back to simpler forms.|President Koopa|[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]}}
'''De-Evolution''' is a term used to describe someone who has devolved in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' film. The victims of De-Evolution are usually turned into [[Goomba]]s, and in a few cases, [[Human]]s are turned into monkeys. It is assumed that all the other Goombas in the movie were created the same way. In the ''Super Mario Bros.'' film, De-Evolution was possible through the use of a special machine. The first known victim of De-Evolution witnessed by the [[Mario Bros.]] was [[Toad]]. In turn, the same machine can also increase intelligence which was proven on [[Spike (character)|Spike]]. Later in the movie, [[Bowser|King Koopa]] used a special gun called a De-Evolution Gun to De-Evolve [[Anthony Scapelli]] into a chimp.

'''De-evolution''' is a term used to describe the process of reverting a being to a lower stage in their evolution in the [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]]. De-evolution may affect level of intelligence as well, though not all de-evolution results in a loss of intelligence. The first known victim of this process was [[King (film character)|the King]] of [[Dinohattan]].


De-evolution is usually a form of corporal punishment used by [[President Koopa]] in the creation of [[Goomba (film)|Goomba]]s for use as a dumb, but strong and loyal police force. These Goombas are created by resetting them to a stage in their racial evolution that is somewhere between that of their saurian-ancestors and their current, humanoid form. This results in a tall and bulky creature with a small, underdeveloped reptilian head depending on particular ancestry. Use of de-evolution on humans results in small, ape-like creatures that resemble chimpanzees. De-evolution can be taken even further on both species, reducing them to primordial ooze (as was Koopa's ultimate fate in the film as well as the fate subjected to a technician due to sneezing in front of Koopa's presence) or fungus (as was how Koopa managed to overthrow the King).

This process was originally achieved through use of a [[Devo Chamber|special room-sized machine]], but Koopa later developed the technology into [[Devolution Gun|portable-form]] to use as weapon in his upcoming attack on [[Earth]].
 
The process can also work in the opposite "direction", which results in improved cognitive-thinking and comprehension. However, mental capabilities can only be extended to a certain point. Actual intelligence cannot move higher than a person is neurologically-capable.
