'''Anthony Scapelli''' is a character in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' film. He is the head contractor of Scapelli Construction, rivaling [[Mario (film character)|Mario]] and [[Luigi (film character)|Luigi]]'s plumbing business, [[Mario Bros. Plumbing]].

Near the beginning of the film, Scapelli shows up at a New York University dig site, demanding that they leave so that his business can continue construction, as one of Scapelli's projects had originally been halted to allow the dig. According to [[Princess Daisy (film character)|Daisy]], Scapelli's workers have been harassing them in order to force them to stop. While he is negotiating with Daisy, he threatens the project, which causes Daisy to leave to call the university for more security. Later, Scapelli's workers are at the dig site, sabotaging the project by breaking several pipes.

Later, [[Iggy (film character)|Iggy]] and [[Spike (film character)|Spike]] tell [[Mario (film character)|Mario]] that a human has accidentally broken the wall between dimensions, making it easier for him to invade [[Earth]]. Mario reasons that it must have been Anthony Scapelli and his employees. While Koopa is on the verge of invading, Scapelli is present at the dig site when [[Koopa's Tower]] merges with the World Trade Center. Afterward, when Koopa and Mario arrive, Koopa attempts to blast Mario with a [[Devolution Gun]] but instead hits Scapelli, de-evolving him into a chimp.

-==History==
-===''Super Mario Bros.'' film===
-[[File:ChimpScapelli.png|thumb|Scapelli's de-evolved chimpanzee form]]
-A news announcer explains that Scapelli Construction's project has been halted due to the finding of dinosaur fossils in the area, prompting the {{wp|New York University}} to begin an excavation project. Anthony Scapelli is introduced arriving to the scene with businessmen acting as his bodyguards. He asks the excavation team who the head of the team is, and [[Daisy (film character)|Daisy]] speaks up to announce that is her. Scapelli demands her to stop her excavation, and Daisy responds saying the research is very important and that the constant harassment from Scapelli's employees has been slowing progress further. Anthony Scapelli threatens Daisy, causing Daisy to leave, letting [[James]] know she plans to call the university for more security. Later, Scapelli's workers are seen fleeing from the dig site, having sabotaged the excavation team's project by breaking several pipes and flooding the dig site. It is revealed late in the film by [[Iggy (film character)|Iggy]] and [[Spike (film character)|Spike]] that it was a human accidentally broke the wall between the dimensions of [[Earth]] and [[Dinohattan]]; Mario reasons this was accidentally done by Scapelli's employees.
-At the end of the film, Scapelli and two of his businessmen are present at the dig site when the two dimensions are briefly merged by [[Lena]]. [[Daniella]] and the previously kidnapped women begin alerting the news press and everyone present that there is an incoming invasion from another dimension. Though [[Koopa's Tower]] merges with the {{wp|World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center}}, Scapelli believes the whole event to be a publicity stunt. [[Bowser|President Koopa]] appears as a result of the merge and attempts to hit Mario with the [[Devolution Gun]]. Mario dodges the blast, hitting Scapelli and de-evolving him into a chimpanzee (even though humans were not actually evolved from chimpanzees, but rather from an ancient species of apes known as ''{{wp|Australopithecus}}''). A surprised Mario questions the de-evolved Scapelli and he responds with a facepalm. His employees pick him up, confused and worried as the crowd laughs at him.
