Let's discuss the Super Mario Movie trailer (Eurogamer.net)

From Illumination's rendition of the Mushroom Kingdom through to Jack Black's Bowser, Keegan Michael-Key's Toad, Charlie Day's Luigi and - of course - Chris ...

I'll preface this by saying that I don't care that much for the Mario movie. I'm not sure if he's trying to put on a bit of a New York accent, but whatever it is it's not working for me. This is why I showed the trailer to my wife saying, "Oh man, it looks just like Mario 3." I had pretty much forgotten this film was on the way, so the trailer was kind of a double gift for me. How this all translates into a full movie remains to be seen, of course, but whichever way Mario himself turns out, I'm cautiously optimistic about the whole endeavour. Isn't he just an avatar for the player to "wahoo!" "Oh, this doesn't look so bad," I thought when the trailer first began. Does this mean that this take on Nintendo's games is going to be an origin story for the brothers? I have a lot of questions, and I am looking forward to finding out more in the future. Leading with Jack Black's Bowser was a masterstroke, since a perfect alchemy seems to have been found between the School of Rock star and Mario's nemesis, while the Mushroom Kingdom looks simply incredible (and simply quite edible, really - Mario levels at their best look good enough to eat, as was the case here with what Illumination has done with Nintendo's world). So, Mario doesn't seem to know the Mushroom Kingdom in this film! From Illumination's rendition of the Mushroom Kingdom through to Jack Black's Bowser, Keegan Michael-Key's Toad, Charlie Day's Luigi and - of course - Chris Pratt's not-so-novel take on Mario, there's a lot to unpack.

Anime Might Help Predict What Happens In The Mario Movie (Kotaku)

Chris Pratt may soon show us the power of one of those 'sucked into another world' anime.

While all evidence points to the Super Mario Bros. [One Twitter account](https://twitter.com/IronPineapple_/status/1578116881835229186) posited that since we’re hearing Chris Pratt’s normal Minnesotan accent, that Pratt himself is somehow turned into Mario, a la Jumanji rules, and now we’re following his adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom in the movie. Hopefully Peach isn’t too preoccupied with being kidnapped in the movie and manages to girlboss her way out of another castle to join Mario in kicking Bowser’s ass. on the Nintendo Entertainment System first whisked him away to the Mushroom Kingdom. movie](https://kotaku.com/nintendo-direct-mario-movie-chris-pratt-trailer-accent-1848509515), of course. You’ve got an entourage of evil minions, pun not intended, in Bowser’s legion of Koopas, and a comically evil lair made in his own image. Upon arriving in the new world, which is commonly a fantasy setting, the main character is thrust into becoming a hero who, under the guidance of a trusty crew of allies, i.e., Toad, must cleanse the world from its imposing and evil overseer: enter Jack Bowser. His dope-as-hell villain entrance was chock full of the ingredients that make for an isekai villain. Hollywood films like Space Jam, Back to the Future, and even the 1993 Super Mario Bros. trailer places the film in that genre. The usual structure of an isekai story revolves around its main character, in this case, Mario, being suddenly teleported into a new world. [the first official trailer for the Super Mario Bros.

9 big questions about the 'Super Mario Bros. Movie' trailer (The Washington Post)

Before Thursday's trailer, the scope of the film remained a mystery, and its confounding casting choices (Keegan-Michael Key as Toad?!) kept longtime fans ...

The Mario movie is an isekai, a Japanese genre of storytelling in which the protagonist is magically teleported from their home to another, unfamiliar environment. Princess Peach is the archetype of the damsel in distress. In the movie, will Mario be able to gain new chances at life by collecting coins? The most jarring aspect of the Mario film is hearing Mario speak intelligible, complete sentences. In the case of the Galaxy series, it was tied to Mario’s health. Martinet is still reportedly voicing characters in the film, in what Nintendo has described as a “surprise” role. In the origin story written by Nintendo, and conveyed in “Yoshi’s Island,” we never witness the birth and parentage of Mario and Luigi. Penguins in Mario games have been a recurring presence since 1996′s “Super Mario 64,” where a level named Cool, Cool Mountain introduced us to penguins who love to race by sliding down the mountain. This leads us to further questions about the scope of the Mushroom Kingdom. After 40 years, this remains the biggest question at the roots of the Mario bros’ history. Before Thursday’s trailer, the scope of the film remained a mystery, and its confounding casting choices (Keegan-Michael Key as Toad?!) kept longtime fans wondering: “Just what the heck kind of movie is this going to be?” In “Super Mario Odyssey,” there’s a shadow version of New York City called New Donk City.

11 'Mario' Characters, Power-Ups and More We Want to See in the ... (Variety)

After months of waiting, Nintendo fans were finally treated to the first look at the animated “Super Mario Bros.” movie from Illumination, the animation ...

Outside of Mario there are countless other Nintendo franchises that could use movies: “The Legend of Zelda,” “Kirby,” “Metroid,” “ Star Fox” and many more. It doesn’t need to be long, but “Super Mario Bros.” could use a flashback to Mario and Luigi’s younger years and see what led them to become adventurous plumbers. “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe” is Nintendo’s bestselling game of all time (bar “Wii Sports,” which came bundled with the console), so it would only make sense to rev up some engines in the “Super Mario Bros.” movie. Love them or hate them, water levels are as essential to the “Mario” games as his red hat. When DK does appear, he better throw barrels at Mario at some point, alluding to Mario’s first appearance in the “Donkey Kong” arcade game. Mario’s green companion first appeared in 1990’s “Super Mario World” and has since played a key role in games such as “Super Mario 64,” “Sunshine” and “Galaxy 2.” Of course, Yoshi also hatched his own franchise of quirky video games. We know that “Super Mario Bros.” will feature the obvious Mushroom Kingdom squad — Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser and Toad — alongside Donkey Kong, Cranky Kong, Kamek and Spike. Throughout the “Mario” franchise, Nintendo has introduced some creative companions to assist the mustachioed hero on his journey. The mini villain has been a thorn in Mario’s side in many games, and the combination of him and his much bigger dad could be a formidable threat to the Mushroom Kingdom. The “Mario” video games have countless characters, worlds and power-ups to pull into the movie, so what other Easter Eggs could be hiding in the animated film? Power-ups are vital to every “Mario” game, allowing the plumber to grow, shrink, fly or throw fireballs with the help of some magic items. Since the trailer shows Mario reaching for a mushroom, before Toad scares the life out of him, it’s not hard to imagine the Italian plumber eating some for super-sized strength.

Mario Movie Trailer: Fans Wish Chris Pratt Sounded Less Like Chris ... (CNET)

Mario doesn't sound like Mario in the new movie teaser trailer. Nintendo/Illumination. The much-anticipated teaser trailer for the Super Mario Bros.

It does still sound like Chris Pratt, but I heard a hint of Mario in there, too." Someone noted in the YouTube comments of that video that Martinet has "Robin Williams energy," and that's exactly what Mario needs. It's understandable he wasn't going to use the "It's-a me, Mario" exaggerated Italian stereotype voice that's so associated with Mario, but could he do something different?
