(film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' live-action film (1993). In the film, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], two struggling plumbers, work underground in [[Brooklyn]] to fix a water main, but they end up being separated after being sucked into the [[Warp Zone]]<ref name=Monopoly>{{file link|TSMBM Monopoly Board.jpg|Monopoly ''The Super Mario Bros.

The evil [[Koopa]] king [[Bowser]], accompanied by his [[ | [[File:Bowser stealing the star TSMBM.png|g|250px|upright=1.1|left|thumb|A triumphant Bowser with the penguins' Super Star]] | ||
The evil [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] king [[Bowser]], accompanied by his assistant [[Kamek]] and the rest of his [[Bowser's Minions|army]], invades the [[Snow Kingdom (The Super Mario Bros. Movie)|Snow Kingdom]] using his [[Bowser's Castle#The Super Mario Bros. Movie|massive castle ship]]. The [[penguin]] inhabitants, led by [[Penguin King|their brave king]], fight to defend their home by throwing [[snowball]]s, but their attacks are completely ineffective against Bowser, leading to them being easily defeated and captured. Bowser then burns their palace down with his [[Fire Breath|fire breath]] and steals their most prized possession, a powerful [[Super Star]]. | |||
Meanwhile, in [[New York City]], the Italian-American brothers [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] have started [[Super Mario Bros. Plumbing]], a small plumbing business servicing the boroughs of [[Brooklyn]] and [[List of implied locations#Queens|Queens]]. At the [[Punch-Out Pizzeria]], the brothers proudly watch the commercial for the business that they spent their life savings to produce, but they then encounter their antagonistic former boss [[Foreman Spike|Spike]], who derides them for leaving him to start their own business. Undeterred, Mario and Luigi go to do their first plumbing job at a [[BrKLnCouple|Brooklyn couple]]'s house, but the interference of the couple's dog [[Francis (The Super Mario Bros. Movie)|Francis]] results in the destruction of their bathroom instead. The brothers return home for dinner with [[Mario and Luigi's family|their family]], most of whom mock their plumbing business and commercial, with only [[Mama Mario|their mother]] being supportive of them. Mario becomes disheartened after being criticized by [[Papa Mario|his father]] in particular, but after he and Luigi see a newscast reporting about a significant leak in manholes throughout the Brooklyn streets, Mario promptly sees this as an opportunity for them to prove themselves. They go to fix the broken water main, only to fail and crash through a brick wall. | |||
[[File:TSMBM warp zone.png|g|250px|upright=1.1|left|thumb|Mario and Luigi get transported to the Warp Zone]] | |||
While exploring the sewers, they arrive in a large room filled with pipes and investigate a [[Mysterious pipe|large green one]], which sucks them into the [[Warp Zone]]. There, the two brothers are separated, with each one going through a different [[Warp Pipe]]. Mario ends up in a forest filled with large mushrooms, where he meets with the adventurous [[Toad]], who informs him that he has arrived in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and that his brother has landed in the [[Dark Land]]s, which are under the control of the evil Bowser. Toad then decides to bring Mario to the kingdom's ruler, [[Princess Peach]], who he believes can help Mario save Luigi. Meanwhile, Luigi briefly searches for Mario in the Dark Lands, where he is chased by a swarm of [[Dry Bones]] and tries to escape by hiding in an abandoned [[castle]], only to end up being captured by a group of [[Shy Guy]]s led by a [[Snifit]]. | |||
Toad and Mario traverse the kingdom's town and reach [[Peach's Castle]]. When the [[Toad (species)|Toad]] guards outside the door refuse to let them in, Toad distracts them to let Mario sneak in, but he is then chased by the other guards. In the throne room, Princess Peach holds a council with many Toads, where the [[Toad General]] describes Bowser's recent actions and that he is headed towards the Mushroom Kingdom, claiming that his possession of the Super Star makes their destruction inevitable. The princess, however, refuses to give up and reveals her plan to defeat Bowser by traveling to the [[Donkey Kong Island|Jungle Kingdom]] to form an alliance with the [[Kong]]s, despite the fact that their king usually declines alliances. The princess and Mario meet shortly afterward, with the former being surprised to encounter another human. After hearing Mario's plight and seeing how determined he is to save his brother, Peach tests his skill with a [[Training Course (The Super Mario Bros. Movie)|training course]] full of obstacles and agrees to take him with her if he can finish it. After demonstrating her own skills, she then explains that he can clear the course using [[List of power-ups|power-ups]] such as [[Super Mushroom]]s, which make Mario [[Super Mario (form)|bigger and stronger]] (which he reluctantly agrees to do despite his hatred of mushrooms). Mario fails to complete the course on many attempts, but eventually comes close enough that Peach takes him along anyway. | |||
Meanwhile, Bowser | Meanwhile, Bowser holds a banquet for his army in his throne room in celebration of their recent conquest and seizing of the Super Star. During this, Bowser reveals to the soldiers in attendance that he is deeply infatuated with Princess Peach, and that his motive for acquiring the Star was to impress her and ask for her hand in marriage, much to their confusion. He then states that if she refuses, he will use the Super Star to demolish her kingdom, to the elation of everyone in his army. During this time, Luigi is taken into a [[Shy Guy balloon|balloon]] by the Shy Guys that captured him, where he recalls a moment in [[Baby Luigi|his]] and [[Baby Mario|Mario's infancy]] when Mario stood up to protect his brother from a bully who was abusing him. | ||
Mario, Peach, and Toad journey through several locales, such as [[Bob-omb Battlefield]], the [[Sand Kingdom|Desert Area]], [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]], and the [[Rock-Candy Mines|High Cliffs]], on their way to the Jungle Kingdom. At one point in their trek, the trio | [[File:A pretty incredible view - TSMBM.png|g|250px|upright=1.1|thumb|Mario, Peach, and Toad on their journey]] | ||
In the morning, Mario and Peach begin their journey to the Jungle Kingdom, with Toad joining as well due to his desire to protect the princess. Together, they travel through several locales, such as the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]], the [[Waterfall Area]], the [[Sand Kingdom|Desert Area]], [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]], and the [[Rock-Candy Mines|High Cliffs]], on their way to the Jungle Kingdom. At one point in their trek, the trio sets up camp in the [[Fire Flower Fields]], where Peach shares her backstory: she first arrived in the Mushroom Kingdom by walking through a Warp Pipe as a [[Baby Peach|baby]], then was taken in by the Toads and eventually crowned as their princess once she was ready. However, she has no memory of anything before her arrival in the Mushroom Kingdom, including where she was originally from. This leads Mario to speculate that Peach may be from the same world as him, to which Peach remarks that the universe is huge and contains many galaxies. | |||
Meanwhile, Bowser plays on his piano, singing [[Peaches|a song]] expressing his obsessive love for Peach, before Kamek interrupts him to inform him about Mario and his association with Peach. This causes Bowser to see Mario as a potential rival for the princess's affection. When Luigi is brought before Bowser, the Koopa king interrogates him about Mario. Luigi resists at first, but eventually admits his relation to Mario after Bowser loses his patience and begins pulling on his mustache. Luigi is then placed in a cage above a pit of [[lava]], where others, such as the penguins and a demented [[Lumalee]], have also been caged. | |||
Upon arriving at the Jungle Kingdom, the heroes are transported to the palace by [[Driver (The Super Mario Bros. Movie)|a Kong]] driving a [[kart]]. At the palace, Peach consults the Kongs' king, [[Cranky Kong]], and asks for his [[Kong army]] to support them in fighting Bowser. He initially refuses to join Peach's cause, but when Mario stands up to him, he agrees to help on the condition that Mario defeats his son [[Donkey Kong]] in a duel at the [[Great Ring of Kong]], which Mario accepts despite Peach's disapproval. During the fight, Mario initially struggles against Donkey Kong's immense strength, so he attempts to use power-ups from the several [[? Block|Question Block]]s set around the arena to gain an advantage. However, he accidentally eats a [[Mini Mushroom|blue mushroom]] under the assumption that it was a Super Mushroom and is [[Mini Mario (form)|shrunken down]] and flicked away by Donkey Kong. He then tries to use a [[Fire Flower]], but Donkey Kong snuffs it out. Mario continues to get pummeled, but remains persistent. Peach then encourages him to hit another block, which contains a power-up that turns him into [[Cat Mario]]. With his new speed, agility, and claws, Mario is able to dodge all of Donkey Kong's attacks and scratch him until he is ultimately defeated, at which point Cranky Kong reluctantly agrees to assist the heroes. | |||
Mario | [[File:DonkeyKongMovieStadium2.png|250px|upright=1.1|left|thumb|Mario being easily overpowered by Donkey Kong]] | ||
At Donkey Kong's home, Peach congratulates Mario for his tenacity, while Donkey Kong is frustrated with Mario and claims to have let him win. Cranky suggests that they use karts to quickly return to the Mushroom Kingdom via a shortcut so that they can ambush Bowser and his forces during their attack. In a [[Kart workshop|large garage]], Mario, Peach, and Toad each create their own karts, and they drive alongside the Kongs back to the Mushroom Kingdom through a [[secret passage]] that leads to [[Rainbow Road]]. On the way back, Peach begins questioning Mario about the world he originates from and decides to visit Brooklyn sometime. | |||
[[File:TSMBM Rainbow Road.png|g|250px|upright=1.1|thumb|Mario driving on Rainbow Road]] | |||
Meanwhile, Bowser is practicing his marriage proposal to Peach, with Kamek taking her place. However, they are interrupted by the [[Koopa General]], who has discovered the heroes' plan and reports it to Bowser. At this, Bowser decides to have his army use karts of their own to ambush the heroes as they traverse Rainbow Road, with the Koopa General himself chasing Mario with a bulldozer. During the chase, Mario's kart is destroyed, but he manages to hijack another while Peach saves Toad from falling off the road. After losing his second kart, Mario then moves to Donkey Kong's kart, and DK fires one of his kart's [[Rocket Barrel]]s to explode on the bulldozer. Infuriated, the Koopa General locks himself in his winged, spiky [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Blue Shell]] and crashes into Mario and Donkey Kong, destroying the latter's kart and a part of the road. The two plummet to the ocean below, much to Peach, Toad, and Cranky's despair, and all of the Kongs besides Donkey Kong are captured and sent to Bowser's dungeons. After landing in the ocean, Mario saves Donkey Kong from drowning, but both are then devoured whole by a large [[Maw-Ray]]. | |||
Peach and Toad manage to make it back to the Mushroom Kingdom, where Peach warns the citizens of Bowser's imminent arrival. She orders the Toads in the town and the castle to evacuate while she holds off Bowser, but Toad decides to stay at the princess's side instead of leaving, wanting to stay true to his desire to protect her. Bowser then arrives in the Mushroom Kingdom aboard his ship and finally proposes to marry Peach. She initially rejects him, but after he has Kamek torture Toad, she reluctantly agrees to the marriage on the condition that Bowser does not harm her subjects. Kamek then informs all of Bowser's prisoners that they are "invited" to Bowser and Peach's royal wedding to be ritualistically sacrificed, much to their horror (and Lumalee's delight). Meanwhile, Mario and Donkey Kong, trapped inside the Maw-Ray's stomach, despair over their situation. After the two attempt to bond over their issues with their respective fathers, an argument ensues and Donkey Kong begins thrashing around the stomach, causing the Maw-Ray to burp and allowing them to find Donkey Kong's ruined kart. They then use its last Rocket Barrel to escape the Maw-Ray's stomach and fly back to the Mushroom Kingdom, hurrying to Peach and Bowser's wedding. | |||
In a mid-credits scene, Bowser is shown singing another verse of his love song while imprisoned | [[File:Tanooki Mario and Luigi reunite - TSMBM.png|thumb|250px|upright=1.1|left|Mario and Luigi reunite]] | ||
At the wedding, Bowser reveals that he intends to execute all of his prisoners by burning them in lava in Peach's honor. However, Peach punches out Kamek and reveals an [[Ice Flower]] that Toad smuggled into her bouquet, with which she freezes Bowser and the winch lowering the prisoners before holding down his army. During this, Mario and Donkey Kong arrive, but they are then shot down by a [[Bullet Bill]], forcing them to fight through Bowser's minions in the town. Mario uses a Super Mushroom while Donkey Kong uses a Fire Flower, but both end up losing their power-ups in the fight. Mario then finds a [[Super Leaf]], allowing him to fly up to Bowser's ship as [[Tanooki Mario]]. While fighting at the wedding, Peach uses a spear to light [[King Bob-omb]]'s fuse, causing him to explode - the explosion blows her back and causes her to lose her [[Ice Mario|ice power]] before she can re-freeze the winch, with Luigi's cage touching the lava and having its bottom part burned off. However, before the prisoners can be burned, Donkey Kong arrives and manages to stop the winch with his own strength, making Cranky proud. Luigi loses his grip and falls out of his cage towards the lava, but Mario saves him with his flight, and the two rejoice at being reunited. | |||
[[File:TSMBM Banzai Bill.png|g|250px|upright=1.1|thumb|A livid Bomber Bill after Tanooki Mario smacks its eye with his tail]] | |||
Enraged, Bowser manages to break free from the ice and orders for a [[Banzai Bill|Bomber Bill]] to be launched to annihilate the Mushroom Kingdom and everyone in it. The Bomber Bill is fired, but before it can hit Peach's Castle, Mario manages to knock it off course by striking one of its eyes with his suit's tail. Angered by this, the Bomber Bill chases Mario instead, and he leads it through the forest and into the pipe through which he first entered the Mushroom Kingdom. However, when the Bomber Bill explodes in the Warp Zone, this causes everyone and everything in the surrounding area to be sucked into the pipe and transported to Brooklyn, with Bowser's ship bursting out and landing in the middle of the street, much to the shock of Spike and other citizens. | |||
[[File:TSMBM Invincible Mario and Luigi.jpg|thumb|250px|upright=1.1|left|Mario and Luigi powered up by the Super Star]] | |||
The Super Star lands in front of Mario, but a furious Bowser stops him from getting it and attacks him to within an inch of his life, while blaming him for his wedding being ruined. Bowser then uses his tail to smack Mario into the Punch-Out Pizzeria. Discouraged, Mario ends up hiding in the pizzeria as Bowser taunts him, and despite their best efforts to stop them, Peach and Donkey Kong are both overpowered by Bowser and his army. However, after seeing a damaged television play the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing commercial, Mario regains his resolve and stands up to Bowser, stopping him from killing Donkey Kong. Peach then manages to kick the Super Star away from Bowser, allowing Mario to go after it. Bowser tries to incinerate him with his fire breath, but Luigi defends him with a manhole cover, allowing them both to obtain the Star and become [[Invincible Mario|invincible]] just in time. | |||
Using the Star's powers, the Mario brothers work together to defeat Bowser and his entire army. Upon his defeat, Bowser is force-fed a blue mushroom by Peach and shrunk to miniature size, allowing Toad to imprison him in a jar. In the end, the Mario brothers and their new friends from the Mushroom Kingdom are celebrated and hailed as heroes by the residents of Brooklyn, including Spike and the brothers' parents, with the father now proud of the brothers' heroics. The story concludes with the brothers relocating to the Mushroom Kingdom, taking their plumbing business with them. | |||
[[File:Hurrah for our heroes, the Super Mario Brothers! - TSMBM.png|g|250px|upright=1.1|thumb|The Mario brothers, delighted at the entirety of Brooklyn cheering for them]] | |||
Before the credits begin, Lumalee appears and [[Fourth wall|tells the audience]] that since the film is over, all that is left is them and the "infinite void", before cheerfully playing the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]] on a saxophone to start off the [[List of The Super Mario Bros. Movie staff|end credits]] music. | |||
In a mid-credits scene, Bowser is shown singing another verse of his love song while imprisoned in a cage in Peach's Castle, but a Toad guard interrupts and silences him, closing the door on him as he complains. In a post-credits scene, a [[Yoshi's Egg]] that was originally given as a wedding gift for Bowser and Peach is seen, unscathed, in the Brooklyn sewers. The egg suddenly begins to hatch as the film cuts to black, followed by a shout of "[[Yoshi]]!" being heard. | |||

Several days after the deal was made, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] explained why Illumination was chosen for the project over other animation companies, saying he had been interested in producing an animated film for quite some time and, contrary to popular belief, making a movie and making a game are completely different procedures. Miyamoto wanted someone with experience in the film industry to co-produce the film, and after talking with numerous directors and producers, he was introduced to Illumination through {{wp|Universal Parks & Resorts}}, with whom Nintendo was making [[Super Nintendo World|a theme park]]. Miyamoto also stated that when he began talks with [[Chris Meledandri]], the latter read numerous interviews about him and felt that they had a similar approach in creation. Miyamoto described Meledandri as having experience in the field of animation beyond Illumination, having been executive producer of ''{{wp|Ice Age (2002 film)|Ice Age}}'' and other animated projects for {{wp|20th Century Fox}}, as well as being "extremely cost-conscious and time-conscious in his quest to make successful movies." Miyamoto also mentioned that Nintendo and Illumination had mutually agreed to call the deal off if neither company could come up with an interesting premise, but also noted that the screenplay had been hashed out a number of times and discussions were in progression, hoping to provide more information once the schedule had been ironed out.<ref>{{cite|author=Minotti, Mike|date=January 9, 2018|url=venturebeat.com/2018/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-explains-how-illumination-won-mario-movie-rights|title=Nintendo's Miyamoto explains how Illumination won Mario movie rights|publisher={{wp|VentureBeat}}|accessdate=January 9, 2018}}</ref> Miyamoto would later state in early 2020 that the idea for the film came from bringing Nintendo's legacy content to services such as the [[Virtual Console]]; such transitions took time for the company, and Miyamoto viewed that as an opportunity to develop Nintendo's content business even further by combining its long-beloved software with video assets.<ref>{{cite|author=Olsen, Mathew|date=February 3, 2020|url=usgamer.net/articles/miyamoto-explains-how-the-virtual-console-convinced-nintendo-to-make-a-new-mario-movie|title=The Virtual Console Convinced Nintendo to Make a New Mario Movie|publisher={{wp|USGamer}}|accessdate=February 3, 2020}}</ref> | |||
On November 6, 2018, Meledandri said that he was glad the 1993 film [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'']] was not well-received, citing the primary reason being that the producers did not involve Nintendo, whereas Illumination was "embracing" Miyamoto and keeping him "front and center" in the film's creation. He said that Illumination's ''Super Mario'' film was in "priority development," and hoped that it would be released by 2022. Meledandri also noted that developing a ''Super Mario'' film is "an ambitious task," citing the challenge of adding depth to ''Super Mario'' that would simultaneously compromise generations of fans and feel organic to its iconography as well as supporting a three-act structure.<ref>{{cite|author=Lang, B.|date=November 6, 2018|url=variety.com/2018/film/news/super-mario-bros-animated-movie-illumination-1203021006|title=Inside Illumination's Plans for Animated 'Super Mario Bros.'

==Differences from the video games== | ==Differences from the video games== | ||
*The characters have various significant characterization differences compared to their original video game counterparts, most notably [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Donkey Kong]], and [[Lumalee]]. | |||
*The characters have various significant characterization differences compared to their original video game counterparts, most notably [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], | |||
*[[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s wear helmets and carry weapons. | *[[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s wear helmets and carry weapons. | ||
*Mario's outfit is more detailed than usual; his shoes have laces on them and there is a front pocket on his overalls. In addition, the emblem on his cap is smaller. | |||
**Similarly, many other characters, most notably Luigi, Peach, and Bowser, have more detailed designs than usual. | |||
*Just like in the DIC cartoons and the 1993 film, Mario and Luigi have a Brooklyn accent, though they do use Italian accents in their plumbing commercial. | |||
*[[Foreman Spike|Spike]] wears an outfit not seen in prior media, wearing a cyan overshirt and cap, with the latter having "Wrecking Crew" text written upon it. He is also noticeably larger in build than Mario (Luigi describes him as "three times [Mario's] size"), unlike in ''[[Wrecking Crew]]'', where their builds are quite similar. | |||
*[[Pauline]] acts as the mayor of [[New York City]] instead of [[Metro Kingdom|New Donk City]]. | |||
*[[Coin]]s in the film do not appear naturally floating throughout the Mushroom Kingdom like they do in the games. Instead, they are only seen obtainable by punching [[Coin Block]]s located in [[Toad Town]]. | |||
*[[Spiny|Spinies]] are depicted with visible mouths and teeth. | |||
*The film uses a different origin story for Mario and [[Luigi]] from the one depicted in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series onwards, being Brooklyn natives like in early media predating the series, including the original ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' arcade game, the [[DIC Entertainment|DIC cartoons]], and the [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|1993 film]]. | |||
*Peach's shoes are pink instead of red. | |||
*[[Fire Mario|Fire Peach]] is not depicted with a ponytail. This design would later be used in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. | |||
*Peach is shown to have come to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] as a baby, when the Toads found and raised her and later crowned her their princess, instead of being born into her position as implied by ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. | |||
*A society of generic [[Kong]]s live in the Jungle Kingdom. | |||
*[[Donkey Kong Island]] is a kingdom referred to as the Jungle Kingdom, ruled by [[Cranky Kong]] with [[Donkey Kong]] being the heir to the throne. | |||
*Donkey Kong is referred to as Cranky Kong's son, unlike in the games, where it has been stated that Donkey Kong is Cranky Kong's grandson. | |||
*When [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]] takes damage, he reverts to his normal form rather than being defeated. | *When [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]] takes damage, he reverts to his normal form rather than being defeated. | ||
*[[ | *[[Cat Mario]] is depicted with visible claws. | ||
*[[ | *While selecting a [[kart]], [[tire]]s, and [[glider]] in the [[kart workshop]], the item roulette sound effect from throughout the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series is heard. This is not the case when selecting kart parts in the games. | ||
*The [[Tanooki Suit]] | *Peach wears a helmet when riding her [[bike]]. | ||
*During the battle on [[Rainbow Road]], a [[Koopa Troopa]] fires a [[Green Shell]], which bounces off of and crashes multiple [[kart]]s. In the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, Green Shells break after hitting a single kart. | |||
*Several characters transfer between different [[kart]]s that they drive/ride on during the [[Rainbow Road]] battle. Players are unable to hop from kart to kart in the games and are only able to use the one they have selected. | |||
**By extension, riders of karts are flung from their vehicles when they are crashed into. | |||
*Karts' [[anti-gravity]] feature can be manually activated or deactivated by the driver. | |||
*[[Bullet Bill]]s are used as projectile weapons, fired from karts during the battle on [[Rainbow Road]]. In the ''Mario Kart'' series, they are not used as projectiles; instead, the player transforms into a Bullet Bill themselves. | |||
*A large number of [[banana]]s are fired out of a kart's cannon during the battle on Rainbow Road. In the games, bananas can be dropped as a single item, or three in the form of [[Triple Bananas]]. | |||
*The [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]] is known as the "Blue Shell", and due to belonging to the [[Koopa General]], it does not attack whomever is in the lead (Peach and Toad) but instead attacks Mario and Donkey Kong. | |||
**It also destroyed Rainbow Road, while in the games it is not capable of destroying the courses. | |||
*In the ''Mario Kart'' series, all race courses either loop or have an end after the finish line. In the film, Rainbow Road is not presented in this fashion and is rather a straight two-way track with branching paths. | |||
*Like in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', [[Bowser]] plans a forced wedding to Peach, but unlike it, as Mario and Peach have not been established as love interests like in the games; Mario's motivations lie in saving Luigi instead of stopping Bowser from marrying Peach, and he does not attempt to directly stop the wedding nor propose marriage to Peach. | |||
*[[Ice Mario|Ice Peach]] is capable of freezing [[Bowser]], unlike in the games. | |||
*A [[Banzai Bill]] is referred to as the "Bomber Bill", and is roughly the size of a [[King Bill]]. | |||
**It is also used as a high-powered weapon capable of destroying entire kingdoms (though the strike does not happen due to Tanooki Mario halting it), when no such thing is done in any game. | |||
*The [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki Suit]] is referred to as the [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon Suit]]. | |||
*[[Tanooki Mario]] has indefinite flight capability rather than only being able to fly for a short amount of time (though [[Raccoon Mario]] can fly indefinitely in the games using a [[P-Wing]], the movie has Mario use a standard [[Super Leaf]] to become Tanooki Mario as in games such as ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''). | |||
*The [[Invincible Mario|effects]] of the [[Super Star]] last longer. | *The [[Invincible Mario|effects]] of the [[Super Star]] last longer. | ||
* | *[[Invincible Mario]] is able to destroy a [[Sledge Bro]]'s hammer upon making contact with it whereas, in the games, they are merely deflected. | ||
*[[Super Mushroom]]s and [[Mini Mushroom]]s are never referred to by their actual names, but generically as "red mushrooms" and "blue mushrooms" respectively; though the former power-up's Nintendo name is used in the bonus feature "''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'' Field Guide" on the DVD release. The mushrooms also lack eyes when shown in the film, though they are depicted with eyes in the credits, promotional art and merchandise. | |||

When Mario starts it for the first time and runs over the [[Brick Block]]s, in the background are some lines of Brick Blocks and [[?

*Bowser is the only character to refer to Princess Peach in-film by her name, Toad is never referred to by name by any other character (though Peach does use the name a few times, it is only in reference to the Toad species), and Kamek is never referred to by name at all. | |||
*Several voice clips are reused during the course of the film, including: | |||
**Mario screaming after he falls attempting to land on a platform, which is reused when he is launched by a dummy Bullet Bill. | |||
**Luigi screaming after being captured by Shy Guys and Snifit, which is reused when Bowser pulls his mustache. | |||
**Bowser saying, "I guess... love really makes a guy come out of his shell" from his mock proposal with Kamek, which is reused with his actual proposal with Peach. | |||
*In the Latin American Spanish dub, there are instances in which the characters are dubbed imitating their voices in the games: | |||
**This is common with Mario, such as during the training scene and in the scenes on the Rainbow Road, where Mario's yells and reactions are identical to those in the games. | |||
**In the scene where Mario directs the Bomber Bill towards the Warp Pipe, he says "''Follow me!''" with an Italian accent imitating Charles Martinet. | |||
**During the fight between Mario and Donkey Kong, Peach shouts Mario's name imitating Samantha Kelly's voice. | |||
**In the scene where Toad distracts the guards at Peach's Castle, he screams with a raspy voice like in the games. | |||

Box office | $1.363 billion[66] |
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is an animated movie produced by Nintendo in collaboration with Universal Pictures and Illumination, co-produced by Super Mario franchise creator Shigeru Miyamoto and Illumination co-founder Chris Meledandri. It was first announced during a financial briefing on January 31, 2018, and was released on April 5, 2023 in North America and many other regions, on April 28, 2023 in Japan, and on various other dates in April in other parts of the world (May 26, 2023 in the case of Poland).[4][67] It is the third feature film to be based on Super Mario, following the Japan-only animated film Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen! (1986) and the largely unsuccessful Super Mario Bros. live-action film (1993). In the film, Mario and Luigi, two struggling plumbers, work underground in Brooklyn to fix a water main, but they end up being separated after being sucked into the Warp Zone[68] via a mysterious pipe, with Mario ending up in the Mushroom Kingdom while Luigi ends up in the Dark Lands. Mario then teams up with Princess Peach and Toad, and the three of them go on an adventure to stop Bowser from taking over the world and rescue Luigi from him.[69]
A teaser trailer for the film was broadcasted in the form of a Nintendo Direct presentation online and at New York Comic Con on October 6, 2022 at 16:00 ET.[70][71][72] A second trailer was released in a dedicated Nintendo Direct on November 29, 2022 at 17:00 ET.[73] An official clip and commercial were revealed at The Game Awards 2022.[74] A third Nintendo Direct featuring the film's final trailer premiered on March 9, 2023 at 17:00 ET, one day before Mario Day in western countries like the United States and on Mario Day in eastern countries like Japan.[75]
The film received mixed reviews from critics, but was a major commercial success, setting numerous box office records for animated features within several countries and grossing over $1 billion USD.[76] Additionally, the movie holds the record for being the highest-grossing video game film adaptation of all time.[77]
A follow-up film was announced on March 10, 2024 (on Mario Day), and is set to be released on April 3, 2026.[78]
Plot
The evil Koopa king Bowser, accompanied by his assistant Kamek and the rest of his army, invades the Snow Kingdom using his massive castle ship. The penguin inhabitants, led by their brave king, fight to defend their home by throwing snowballs, but their attacks are completely ineffective against Bowser, leading to them being easily defeated and captured. Bowser then burns their palace down with his fire breath and steals their most prized possession, a powerful Super Star.
Meanwhile, in New York City, the Italian-American brothers Mario and Luigi have started Super Mario Bros. Plumbing, a small plumbing business servicing the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. At the Punch-Out Pizzeria, the brothers proudly watch the commercial for the business that they spent their life savings to produce, but they then encounter their antagonistic former boss Spike, who derides them for leaving him to start their own business. Undeterred, Mario and Luigi go to do their first plumbing job at a Brooklyn couple's house, but the interference of the couple's dog Francis results in the destruction of their bathroom instead. The brothers return home for dinner with their family, most of whom mock their plumbing business and commercial, with only their mother being supportive of them. Mario becomes disheartened after being criticized by his father in particular, but after he and Luigi see a newscast reporting about a significant leak in manholes throughout the Brooklyn streets, Mario promptly sees this as an opportunity for them to prove themselves. They go to fix the broken water main, only to fail and crash through a brick wall.
While exploring the sewers, they arrive in a large room filled with pipes and investigate a large green one, which sucks them into the Warp Zone. There, the two brothers are separated, with each one going through a different Warp Pipe. Mario ends up in a forest filled with large mushrooms, where he meets with the adventurous Toad, who informs him that he has arrived in the Mushroom Kingdom and that his brother has landed in the Dark Lands, which are under the control of the evil Bowser. Toad then decides to bring Mario to the kingdom's ruler, Princess Peach, who he believes can help Mario save Luigi. Meanwhile, Luigi briefly searches for Mario in the Dark Lands, where he is chased by a swarm of Dry Bones and tries to escape by hiding in an abandoned castle, only to end up being captured by a group of Shy Guys led by a Snifit.
Toad and Mario traverse the kingdom's town and reach Peach's Castle. When the Toad guards outside the door refuse to let them in, Toad distracts them to let Mario sneak in, but he is then chased by the other guards. In the throne room, Princess Peach holds a council with many Toads, where the Toad General describes Bowser's recent actions and that he is headed towards the Mushroom Kingdom, claiming that his possession of the Super Star makes their destruction inevitable. The princess, however, refuses to give up and reveals her plan to defeat Bowser by traveling to the Jungle Kingdom to form an alliance with the Kongs, despite the fact that their king usually declines alliances. The princess and Mario meet shortly afterward, with the former being surprised to encounter another human. After hearing Mario's plight and seeing how determined he is to save his brother, Peach tests his skill with a training course full of obstacles and agrees to take him with her if he can finish it. After demonstrating her own skills, she then explains that he can clear the course using power-ups such as Super Mushrooms, which make Mario bigger and stronger (which he reluctantly agrees to do despite his hatred of mushrooms). Mario fails to complete the course on many attempts, but eventually comes close enough that Peach takes him along anyway.
Meanwhile, Bowser holds a banquet for his army in his throne room in celebration of their recent conquest and seizing of the Super Star. During this, Bowser reveals to the soldiers in attendance that he is deeply infatuated with Princess Peach, and that his motive for acquiring the Star was to impress her and ask for her hand in marriage, much to their confusion. He then states that if she refuses, he will use the Super Star to demolish her kingdom, to the elation of everyone in his army. During this time, Luigi is taken into a balloon by the Shy Guys that captured him, where he recalls a moment in his and Mario's infancy when Mario stood up to protect his brother from a bully who was abusing him.
In the morning, Mario and Peach begin their journey to the Jungle Kingdom, with Toad joining as well due to his desire to protect the princess. Together, they travel through several locales, such as the Bob-omb Battlefield, the Waterfall Area, the Desert Area, Yoshi's Island, and the High Cliffs, on their way to the Jungle Kingdom. At one point in their trek, the trio sets up camp in the Fire Flower Fields, where Peach shares her backstory: she first arrived in the Mushroom Kingdom by walking through a Warp Pipe as a baby, then was taken in by the Toads and eventually crowned as their princess once she was ready. However, she has no memory of anything before her arrival in the Mushroom Kingdom, including where she was originally from. This leads Mario to speculate that Peach may be from the same world as him, to which Peach remarks that the universe is huge and contains many galaxies.
Meanwhile, Bowser plays on his piano, singing a song expressing his obsessive love for Peach, before Kamek interrupts him to inform him about Mario and his association with Peach. This causes Bowser to see Mario as a potential rival for the princess's affection. When Luigi is brought before Bowser, the Koopa king interrogates him about Mario. Luigi resists at first, but eventually admits his relation to Mario after Bowser loses his patience and begins pulling on his mustache. Luigi is then placed in a cage above a pit of lava, where others, such as the penguins and a demented Lumalee, have also been caged.
Upon arriving at the Jungle Kingdom, the heroes are transported to the palace by a Kong driving a kart. At the palace, Peach consults the Kongs' king, Cranky Kong, and asks for his Kong army to support them in fighting Bowser. He initially refuses to join Peach's cause, but when Mario stands up to him, he agrees to help on the condition that Mario defeats his son Donkey Kong in a duel at the Great Ring of Kong, which Mario accepts despite Peach's disapproval. During the fight, Mario initially struggles against Donkey Kong's immense strength, so he attempts to use power-ups from the several Question Blocks set around the arena to gain an advantage. However, he accidentally eats a blue mushroom under the assumption that it was a Super Mushroom and is shrunken down and flicked away by Donkey Kong. He then tries to use a Fire Flower, but Donkey Kong snuffs it out. Mario continues to get pummeled, but remains persistent. Peach then encourages him to hit another block, which contains a power-up that turns him into Cat Mario. With his new speed, agility, and claws, Mario is able to dodge all of Donkey Kong's attacks and scratch him until he is ultimately defeated, at which point Cranky Kong reluctantly agrees to assist the heroes.
At Donkey Kong's home, Peach congratulates Mario for his tenacity, while Donkey Kong is frustrated with Mario and claims to have let him win. Cranky suggests that they use karts to quickly return to the Mushroom Kingdom via a shortcut so that they can ambush Bowser and his forces during their attack. In a large garage, Mario, Peach, and Toad each create their own karts, and they drive alongside the Kongs back to the Mushroom Kingdom through a secret passage that leads to Rainbow Road. On the way back, Peach begins questioning Mario about the world he originates from and decides to visit Brooklyn sometime.
Meanwhile, Bowser is practicing his marriage proposal to Peach, with Kamek taking her place. However, they are interrupted by the Koopa General, who has discovered the heroes' plan and reports it to Bowser. At this, Bowser decides to have his army use karts of their own to ambush the heroes as they traverse Rainbow Road, with the Koopa General himself chasing Mario with a bulldozer. During the chase, Mario's kart is destroyed, but he manages to hijack another while Peach saves Toad from falling off the road. After losing his second kart, Mario then moves to Donkey Kong's kart, and DK fires one of his kart's Rocket Barrels to explode on the bulldozer. Infuriated, the Koopa General locks himself in his winged, spiky Blue Shell and crashes into Mario and Donkey Kong, destroying the latter's kart and a part of the road. The two plummet to the ocean below, much to Peach, Toad, and Cranky's despair, and all of the Kongs besides Donkey Kong are captured and sent to Bowser's dungeons. After landing in the ocean, Mario saves Donkey Kong from drowning, but both are then devoured whole by a large Maw-Ray.
Peach and Toad manage to make it back to the Mushroom Kingdom, where Peach warns the citizens of Bowser's imminent arrival. She orders the Toads in the town and the castle to evacuate while she holds off Bowser, but Toad decides to stay at the princess's side instead of leaving, wanting to stay true to his desire to protect her. Bowser then arrives in the Mushroom Kingdom aboard his ship and finally proposes to marry Peach. She initially rejects him, but after he has Kamek torture Toad, she reluctantly agrees to the marriage on the condition that Bowser does not harm her subjects. Kamek then informs all of Bowser's prisoners that they are "invited" to Bowser and Peach's royal wedding to be ritualistically sacrificed, much to their horror (and Lumalee's delight). Meanwhile, Mario and Donkey Kong, trapped inside the Maw-Ray's stomach, despair over their situation. After the two attempt to bond over their issues with their respective fathers, an argument ensues and Donkey Kong begins thrashing around the stomach, causing the Maw-Ray to burp and allowing them to find Donkey Kong's ruined kart. They then use its last Rocket Barrel to escape the Maw-Ray's stomach and fly back to the Mushroom Kingdom, hurrying to Peach and Bowser's wedding.
At the wedding, Bowser reveals that he intends to execute all of his prisoners by burning them in lava in Peach's honor. However, Peach punches out Kamek and reveals an Ice Flower that Toad smuggled into her bouquet, with which she freezes Bowser and the winch lowering the prisoners before holding down his army. During this, Mario and Donkey Kong arrive, but they are then shot down by a Bullet Bill, forcing them to fight through Bowser's minions in the town. Mario uses a Super Mushroom while Donkey Kong uses a Fire Flower, but both end up losing their power-ups in the fight. Mario then finds a Super Leaf, allowing him to fly up to Bowser's ship as Tanooki Mario. While fighting at the wedding, Peach uses a spear to light King Bob-omb's fuse, causing him to explode - the explosion blows her back and causes her to lose her ice power before she can re-freeze the winch, with Luigi's cage touching the lava and having its bottom part burned off. However, before the prisoners can be burned, Donkey Kong arrives and manages to stop the winch with his own strength, making Cranky proud. Luigi loses his grip and falls out of his cage towards the lava, but Mario saves him with his flight, and the two rejoice at being reunited.
Enraged, Bowser manages to break free from the ice and orders for a Bomber Bill to be launched to annihilate the Mushroom Kingdom and everyone in it. The Bomber Bill is fired, but before it can hit Peach's Castle, Mario manages to knock it off course by striking one of its eyes with his suit's tail. Angered by this, the Bomber Bill chases Mario instead, and he leads it through the forest and into the pipe through which he first entered the Mushroom Kingdom. However, when the Bomber Bill explodes in the Warp Zone, this causes everyone and everything in the surrounding area to be sucked into the pipe and transported to Brooklyn, with Bowser's ship bursting out and landing in the middle of the street, much to the shock of Spike and other citizens.
The Super Star lands in front of Mario, but a furious Bowser stops him from getting it and attacks him to within an inch of his life, while blaming him for his wedding being ruined. Bowser then uses his tail to smack Mario into the Punch-Out Pizzeria. Discouraged, Mario ends up hiding in the pizzeria as Bowser taunts him, and despite their best efforts to stop them, Peach and Donkey Kong are both overpowered by Bowser and his army. However, after seeing a damaged television play the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing commercial, Mario regains his resolve and stands up to Bowser, stopping him from killing Donkey Kong. Peach then manages to kick the Super Star away from Bowser, allowing Mario to go after it. Bowser tries to incinerate him with his fire breath, but Luigi defends him with a manhole cover, allowing them both to obtain the Star and become invincible just in time.
Using the Star's powers, the Mario brothers work together to defeat Bowser and his entire army. Upon his defeat, Bowser is force-fed a blue mushroom by Peach and shrunk to miniature size, allowing Toad to imprison him in a jar. In the end, the Mario brothers and their new friends from the Mushroom Kingdom are celebrated and hailed as heroes by the residents of Brooklyn, including Spike and the brothers' parents, with the father now proud of the brothers' heroics. The story concludes with the brothers relocating to the Mushroom Kingdom, taking their plumbing business with them.
Before the credits begin, Lumalee appears and tells the audience that since the film is over, all that is left is them and the "infinite void", before cheerfully playing the Super Mario Bros. Ground Theme on a saxophone to start off the end credits music.
In a mid-credits scene, Bowser is shown singing another verse of his love song while imprisoned in a cage in Peach's Castle, but a Toad guard interrupts and silences him, closing the door on him as he complains. In a post-credits scene, a Yoshi's Egg that was originally given as a wedding gift for Bowser and Peach is seen, unscathed, in the Brooklyn sewers. The egg suddenly begins to hatch as the film cuts to black, followed by a shout of "Yoshi!" being heard.

Production
Reports on the supposed existence of an animated Super Mario film circulated as early as November 24, 2014, following the Sony Pictures hack, when it was revealed in leaked emails sent by Avi Arad, Amy Pascal, Tom Rothman, and Michelle Raimo Kouyate that Sony Pictures Animation was trying to secure the film rights to Super Mario for years, though Arad has denied that such a deal was made.[93]
In November 2017, more reports about the film's existence began to arise.[94][95][96] Nintendo's then-president, Tatsumi Kimishima, stated in January 2018 that a deal had not been finalized, but that an announcement would come soon.[97] By the end of January 2018, Nintendo affirmed that the film would indeed be moving forward, having closed a deal with Illumination.[98] This marked Illumination's first film based on an existing intellectual property to not be an adaptation of a Dr. Seuss book.
Several days after the deal was made, Shigeru Miyamoto explained why Illumination was chosen for the project over other animation companies, saying he had been interested in producing an animated film for quite some time and, contrary to popular belief, making a movie and making a game are completely different procedures. Miyamoto wanted someone with experience in the film industry to co-produce the film, and after talking with numerous directors and producers, he was introduced to Illumination through Universal Parks & Resorts, with whom Nintendo was making a theme park. Miyamoto also stated that when he began talks with Chris Meledandri, the latter read numerous interviews about him and felt that they had a similar approach in creation. Miyamoto described Meledandri as having experience in the field of animation beyond Illumination, having been executive producer of Ice Age and other animated projects for 20th Century Fox, as well as being "extremely cost-conscious and time-conscious in his quest to make successful movies." Miyamoto also mentioned that Nintendo and Illumination had mutually agreed to call the deal off if neither company could come up with an interesting premise, but also noted that the screenplay had been hashed out a number of times and discussions were in progression, hoping to provide more information once the schedule had been ironed out.[99] Miyamoto would later state in early 2020 that the idea for the film came from bringing Nintendo's legacy content to services such as the Virtual Console; such transitions took time for the company, and Miyamoto viewed that as an opportunity to develop Nintendo's content business even further by combining its long-beloved software with video assets.[100]
On November 6, 2018, Meledandri said that he was glad the 1993 film Super Mario Bros. was not well-received, citing the primary reason being that the producers did not involve Nintendo, whereas Illumination was "embracing" Miyamoto and keeping him "front and center" in the film's creation. He said that Illumination's Super Mario film was in "priority development," and hoped that it would be released by 2022. Meledandri also noted that developing a Super Mario film is "an ambitious task," citing the challenge of adding depth to Super Mario that would simultaneously compromise generations of fans and feel organic to its iconography as well as supporting a three-act structure.[101][102] By February 1, 2019, production of the film had formally begun;[103] according to Nintendo, the funds for the production process were being jointly supplied by it and Universal.[104]
Before details on the film's cast were formally announced, Sebastian Maniscalco offhandedly mentioned in a YouTube podcast uploaded on August 5, 2021 that he would be voicing the character Spike from the 1985 game Wrecking Crew in the movie, who would be portrayed as the "boss" of Mario and Luigi.[105]
The September 23, 2021 Nintendo Direct presentation featured an appearance from Shigeru Miyamoto, in which he announced the movie as being scheduled for release in the 2022 holiday season (with a planned release date of December 21, 2022 in North America) and revealed its English cast list.[106] On the same day, the press release announced Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic as directors, with Matthew Fogel writing the screenplay.[107] On April 25, 2022, a post on Nintendo of America's Twitter account announced that the movie's release would be delayed to spring 2023 and revealed the North American and Japanese release dates.[67]
On October 28, Khary Payton, who voices the Penguin King, described Chris Pratt’s voice for Mario at the time as a “New York, Italian guy” and similar to the “Sopranos”.[108] However, Pratt stated that the accent was rejected during production for sounding too similar to the character Tony Soprano.[109]
On January 26, 2022, Charlie Day revealed that he was recording his lines for the movie, plot details were being hidden from him, and he knew nothing about the film.[110] Day stated that his original voice for Luigi was similar to the New York mobster-themed film Goodfellas, but the directors wanted "less Goodfellas". Day responded to the change saying, “Alright! I think you’re wrong, but fine!”[109] Day later expressed interest in doing a Luigi's Mansion spin-off film in an interview on February 18, 2022.[111]
Ed Skudder, the creator of animated series Dick Figures and Unikitty!, revealed himself to be the head of story for the film on his LinkedIn profile.[112]
In The Super Mario Bros. Movie Direct on October 6, 2022, it was announced that Brian Tyler would compose the score for the film, which includes themes from the Super Mario games, in collaboration with game composer Koji Kondo.[72]
Prior to its release, The Super Mario Bros. Movie was revealed to have some short songs. On October 6, 2022, Jack Black announced that Bowser would have a "musical side" in the film,[113] and on October 12, 2022, Keegan-Michael Key revealed to Variety that he improvised a song as Toad, calling it "an absolute blast".[114]
On February 28, 2023, it was announced on the movie's social media accounts that the release date for the film would be moved to April 5, 2023 in the United States and more than 60 other countries, two days ahead of the initial release date.[4]
On March 23, 2023, it was announced that press screenings of the movie had officially begun.[115]
Following the film's release, concept art for the film was leaked online on April 22, 2023.[116] The various art shows some characters, such as Toadsworth and Toadette, who were considered to appear, while others showed more of the Snow Kingdom and its land suggesting it would play a bigger role in the story, as well as some power-ups that did not make it into the final film.[117]
One month after the film's release, in an interview with Jérémie Covillault, the French voice actor of Bowser,[118] at Metz'torii, a French event, when asked when the sequel would release, he responded that he did not know, but claimed that there would be a trilogy.[119]
Deleted scenes
On August 1, 2023, senior animator August Clermont uploaded a compilation of clips to Vimeo. The first clip is a deleted scene that took place during the battle in Brooklyn. It shows Invincible Mario performing a Super Jump Punch against Koopa Troopas.[120]
On September 18, 2023, two more scenes surfaced.[121] The earlier scene takes place after Mario and Luigi smash through the brick wall while trying to fix the water main. It is part of a longer conversation but the clip does not include its beginning. The later scene takes place right after Peach's remarks on the vastness of the universe. In that clip, Mario invites Peach to visit Brooklyn.[122] This presumably is the setup for Peach's decision to visit Brooklyn in the Rainbow Road scene.
The second trailer and certain TV spots include an extended version of the scene in the Waterfall Area, in which Peach pulls the Cheep Cheep off of Mario's face, with the Cheep Cheep latching onto Toad's face afterwards.[123] The scene was trimmed down for the final film.

The film had its premiere on April 1, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.

Plumbing van was also shown, being driven by Pratt with Day as a passenger.[191]
Box office
Prior to the movie's release, it was initially projected to gross at least $85 to $90 million in the domestic box office over the opening 5-day period - a projection that is considered to be on the conservative side.[192] Later, projections were increased to $125 million in the domestic box office and $225 million in the worldwide box office over the same period.[193][194] On opening day, the movie grossed $66.4 million worldwide, surpassing the lifetime global box office gross of the live-action Super Mario Bros. film.[66]
The film has set several box office records:
- It was the highest-grossing film of 2023 until it was surpassed by Barbie. It ultimately became the second-highest-grossing film of 2023 and the highest-grossing animated film of 2023.[195]
- It surpassed Warcraft to become the highest-grossing film adapted from a video game.[196]
- It surpassed Frozen II for the highest-grossing opening for an animated film.[77]

- It is currently the third-highest-grossing animated film of all time and was the fifteenth-highest-grossing film of all time overall at its peak.[198] It also became the highest-grossing film of all time in Mexico, surpassing Spider-Man: No Way Home.[199]
Ancillaries
In an interview with the New York Times, a Universal Pictures executive disclosed that the movie had generated more than $75 million in revenues on Premium Video On-Demand (PVOD) platforms in its first three weeks.[200]
Critical reception
The Super Mario Bros. Movie received mixed reviews from film critics. It was praised for its visuals, score, and faithfulness to the video games, while the screenplay, pacing, and plot received criticism,[201] with some critics finding the plot to be lacking in substance and sidelined in favor of the amount of fan service. Jack Black's performance was additionally a subject of praise, though the reception to some elements of the voice acting was mixed, in particular Chris Pratt's performance.
John Leguizamo, who portrayed Luigi in the live-action Super Mario Bros. film, criticized The Super Mario Bros. Movie for a lack of Latin representation in its cast (despite Anya Taylor-Joy and Fred Armisen having Latin heritage) and stated that he did not intend to watch the animated film.[202]

References to other media
- Nintendo: Three roads shown in Queens on the map in the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing commercial, located where Cross Island Parkway, Northern Boulevard, and Linden Boulevard would be in real life, are respectively named 1889th Street, Hanafuda Avenue, and Luck Cards Street; the first is a reference to the company's founding date, while the other two refer to its origins as a hanafuda card company. The back of a Nintendo hanafuda card is seen plastered on a wall in Brooklyn. A pennant in the Mario Bros.'s apartment reads "Slugger Mate", another name for the Ultra Machine. A sticker of Nintendo's logo is on the side of Mario's TV.
- Game & Watch series: Two signs at a truck and a construction site respectively depict Game & Watch characters using a bucket and shovel. The character holding the bucket specifically references Oil Panic.
- Donkey Kong: Pauline appears as the mayor of New York City. Giuseppe resembles Mario's original design from the game and is seen playing the "Jump Man" arcade machine at Punch-Out Pizzeria, a game that directly parodies the original game in sounds, artwork, and level design. Cranky Kong's guards have hammers for weapons. In the Great Ring of Kong, the platform Mario and Donkey Kong stand on is a red girder. Barrels and blue ladders can also be seen in the same scene. The towels some of the Kongs in the audience have depict Donkey Kong's sprite from this game. As Mario beats Donkey Kong, a piano arrangement of the tune that plays when Donkey Kong climbs 25m is heard. The sound that plays when Donkey Kong obtains a Fire Flower is the same one that plays when a barrel is broken with a hammer in the NES version of the game. "Opening" is arranged in the track "Drivin' Me Bananas". Audio from this game is played on the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing website. Donkey Kong's design in the movie is slightly based on Miyamoto's design of Donkey Kong from this game.
- Donkey Kong Jr.: Similarly to what happens in this game, Cranky Kong is locked up in a cage and is later rescued by his son.
- Mario Bros.: The Mario Bros. go into a manhole and attempt to fix a big overflowing water main in the New York City sewers. They go even deeper into the sewer when both stumble upon a warp pipe that transports them to the Mushroom Kingdom. In the preceding newscast, scrolling text repeatedly mentions sightings of "giant underground crabs" in the area.
- Tennis: The game's boxart is seen in a poster in Mario's room.
- Duck Hunt: The ducks and environment from this game appear as paintings in Punch-Out Pizzeria, and a duck appears on a wooden sign in Brooklyn when the Mario Bros. run to the Brooklyn couple's building. A painting of the dog is briefly seen hanging in the Brooklyn couple's apartment, before the Mario Bros. enter the bathroom. While the Mario Bros. are navigating Brooklyn, a French restaurant in Brooklyn named Chasse au Canard, the French translation of the game's title, can be seen.
- Golf: The game's boxart is seen in a poster in Mario's room.
- Hogan's Alley: The game's title appears in the ticker text during the news broadcast.
- Balloon Fight: Artwork of the Balloon Fighter appears as a sign in Brooklyn.
- Ice Climber: A headline in the ticker text during the news broadcast reads, "Stolen vegetables recovered by ice climbers", referencing the Ice Climbers and the vegetables they collect. The Polar Bear appears on a poster in Mario's room and on one of the signs in Brooklyn.
- Wrecking Crew: Foreman Spike appears in the film, with "Wrecking Crew"-branded work clothes.
- Kung Fu: A poster featuring sprites from this game appears in Mario's room.
- Excitebike: While the Mario Bros. are navigating the streets, a location, City Bike, is shown, with the motorcycle sprite from the game being used on the location's sign. An Excitebike-themed calendar also appears in the interior of Mario's House.
- R.O.B. / Gyromite: At the end of the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing commercial, a market named Gyro Market is seen. The sign also has R.O.B.'s head at the center of it.
- Nintendo Entertainment System: Mario owns the actual console and is seen playing Kid Icarus on it in the beginning of the film. The Toad at the antique store asks about an NES cartridge, to which the clerk tells them to blow into it, referencing a popular real-life method to make a cartridge work properly.
- Super Mario Bros.: The sprites of Mario, Luigi, and a ? Block (albeit in their modern colors) are featured in Nintendo's opening title with the original Ground Theme and the "Course Clear" jingle playing. Various sound effects from this game are used in the score, and the Warp Pipe sound can be heard several times throughout the film. The table markers in Punch-Out Pizzeria resemble Goal Poles. The positioning of the building number, the crates and cans on the scaffolding, and the vent above them in the construction site Mario and Luigi run through resembles that of the first group of blocks encountered in World 1-1. After running through the construction site, Mario slides down Castle Burger's sign as if it was a Goal Pole, complete with the sound effect. The Castle Burger building resembles the fortress from this game. The hole Mario and Luigi make after crashing into the underground brick wall is in the shape of Small Mario's head. The mysterious pipe system in which Mario and Luigi find the Warp Pipe is in an area labeled as "Level 1-2". A screenshot of the exterior of a fortress can be seen inside the antique store, and a nearby barrel contains axes. The store's "open" sign is styled after this game's in-game logo. The mushroom retainers' quote, "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!", is referenced in the film by a blue Toad while trying to dissuade Mario from entering Peach's Castle. The Waterfall Area, featuring a bridge over a sea of jumping Cheep Cheeps, is very similar to World 2-3 from this game. In Luigi's flashback, the flag Baby Luigi holds has the emblem as the Goal Pole flags in this game. The Ground Theme, Underground Theme, Underwater Theme, Castle theme, Super Star theme, "Ending" theme, "Hurry Up" jingle, "Lost a Life" jingle, and "Course Clear" fanfare are arranged in the film's score. One of the reviewers on the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing website is named "anothercaserole", another reference to the mushroom retainers' quote. Another Super Mario Bros. Plumbing reviewer is named "dunnadunnadunna", a vocal interpretation of the main melody of the Underground Theme.
- Family Computer Disk System: A shop named "Disk-kun Hardware Co.", which features the character in its logo, appears in Brooklyn.
- The Legend of Zelda series: On the map in the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing commercial, a road in Queens (which is actually supposed to be a block of the real-life Hollis Avenue) is named "Link Street", after the franchise's main character. Mario's father bears a strong resemblance to Talon, a Mario lookalike from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
- Metroid series: A headline in the news broadcast ticker text mentions FS-176, a solar system containing most of the planets in the Metroid games.
- Pro Wrestling: The Video Wrestling Association is mentioned in the ticker text during the news broadcast. A poster featuring two wrestlers from the game, Starman and The Amazon, is seen in Mario's room.
- Kid Icarus: Audio from the Family Computer Disk System version of the game is played on the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing website. Mario is seen playing the game in his room at the beginning of the film. The NES cartridge is seen during the credits.
- Punch-Out!! series: On the map in the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing commercial, a location in Brooklyn named "Punch Out" is shown. A restaurant named Punch-Out Pizzeria appears in the film, with the logo harkening back to the NES Punch-Out!! logo. Pictures of various opponents from the franchise can also be seen in the restaurant. A billboard and a sign in Brooklyn reads Popinski, a reference to one of Little Mac's opponents, Soda Popinski. On the Brazilian and French versions of the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing website, one of the testimonials mentions eating mac and cheese at the restaurant, making reference to Little Mac himself. One of the responses to the 20 questions states the best side dish at Punch-Out Pizzeria is "The Little Mac n' Cheese."
- Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!: The scene where Mario is playing with his NES is similar to the one in the 1986 film where he plays with a Famicom.
- Super Mario Bros. 2: The design of the poster featuring Toadette is based on the title screen of this game. Magical Potions can be seen in the antique store. The opening notes of the "Ground Theme" are arranged in the credits theme, "Level Complete". After Peach shows Mario how to complete the Training Course, she floats down to the ground using her skirt after touching the Goal Post, much like her special skill in the game.
- Super Mario Bros. 3: The Brooklyn couple's house features a framed piece of artwork resembling the green triangular texture patterns used for hills in this game. Music Boxes, P Switches, P-Wings, Lakitu's Clouds, anchors, treasure chests as they appear in this game's Toad Houses, and a hammer can be seen in the antique store. On the back wall of the store is a picture of Princess Peach as she appears in this game's letters. When Mario runs from some Toad Guards in Peach's Castle, the sound he makes when skidding across the hallway is identical to the P-Meter sound from this game. This sound effect and the drum sample are also used in the track "Press Start". The Ground Theme, Athletic Theme, Toad House/P Switch music, Spade Panel minigame music, Airship Theme, and Hammer Bro mini-boss music are also arranged in the film's score. The Tanooki Suit, which debuted in this game, also appears. The sign above the vertical lift Mario and Toad use resembles the world maps from this game. The Koopa Troop's territory is the Dark Lands. The voxel map Peach uses makes the "world map start" sound effect when the Mushroom Kingdom forms.

- Mario Kart: Double Dash!!: Asking about the business' background on the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing website informs the user that they specialize in their "patented Double Dash Drainage".

- Mario Party 6: One of Mario's main pieces of artwork is based on his artwork from this game.
- New Super Mario Bros. series: The "Super Mario Bros." part of the series' logo is used in the logo for Super Mario Bros. Plumbing.

A fortress, as it appears in the series, can be seen in the background when Mario lands in the Mushroom Kingdom for the first time.

References in later media
- Nintendo Switch: An advertisement for several Super Mario games for the Nintendo Switch uses various gameplay footage to mirror several scenes from the film. Most notable is the Training Course being recreated within Super Mario Maker 2; Mario succumbs to a Fire Bar, Bullet Bill, and falling Donut Block in the recreation, as he does to dummies of these three in the film.[222]
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder: The increased animation expressiveness in this game was implemented to coincide with the release of the film, due to both products releasing in the same year.[223] Fire Peach has her hair down instead of in a ponytail, like in the movie.
- Migration: Advertising for this film, also produced by Illumination, mentions that it is from "...the studio that brought you The Super Mario Bros. Movie", using the film's logo.[224]
Differences from the video games
- The characters have various significant characterization differences compared to their original video game counterparts, most notably Mario, Princess Peach, Donkey Kong, and Lumalee.
- Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas wear helmets and carry weapons.
- Mario's outfit is more detailed than usual; his shoes have laces on them and there is a front pocket on his overalls. In addition, the emblem on his cap is smaller.
- Similarly, many other characters, most notably Luigi, Peach, and Bowser, have more detailed designs than usual.
- Just like in the DIC cartoons and the 1993 film, Mario and Luigi have a Brooklyn accent, though they do use Italian accents in their plumbing commercial.
- Spike wears an outfit not seen in prior media, wearing a cyan overshirt and cap, with the latter having "Wrecking Crew" text written upon it. He is also noticeably larger in build than Mario (Luigi describes him as "three times [Mario's] size"), unlike in Wrecking Crew, where their builds are quite similar.
- Pauline acts as the mayor of New York City instead of New Donk City.
- Coins in the film do not appear naturally floating throughout the Mushroom Kingdom like they do in the games. Instead, they are only seen obtainable by punching Coin Blocks located in Toad Town.
- Spinies are depicted with visible mouths and teeth.
- The film uses a different origin story for Mario and Luigi from the one depicted in the Yoshi's Island series onwards, being Brooklyn natives like in early media predating the series, including the original Mario Bros. arcade game, the DIC cartoons, and the 1993 film.
- Peach's shoes are pink instead of red.
- Fire Peach is not depicted with a ponytail. This design would later be used in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
- Peach is shown to have come to the Mushroom Kingdom as a baby, when the Toads found and raised her and later crowned her their princess, instead of being born into her position as implied by Super Mario Bros., Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, and Yoshi's Island DS.
- A society of generic Kongs live in the Jungle Kingdom.
- Donkey Kong Island is a kingdom referred to as the Jungle Kingdom, ruled by Cranky Kong with Donkey Kong being the heir to the throne.
- Donkey Kong is referred to as Cranky Kong's son, unlike in the games, where it has been stated that Donkey Kong is Cranky Kong's grandson.
- When Mini Mario takes damage, he reverts to his normal form rather than being defeated.
- Cat Mario is depicted with visible claws.
- While selecting a kart, tires, and glider in the kart workshop, the item roulette sound effect from throughout the Mario Kart series is heard. This is not the case when selecting kart parts in the games.
- Peach wears a helmet when riding her bike.
- During the battle on Rainbow Road, a Koopa Troopa fires a Green Shell, which bounces off of and crashes multiple karts. In the Mario Kart series, Green Shells break after hitting a single kart.
- Several characters transfer between different karts that they drive/ride on during the Rainbow Road battle. Players are unable to hop from kart to kart in the games and are only able to use the one they have selected.
- By extension, riders of karts are flung from their vehicles when they are crashed into.
- Karts' anti-gravity feature can be manually activated or deactivated by the driver.
- Bullet Bills are used as projectile weapons, fired from karts during the battle on Rainbow Road. In the Mario Kart series, they are not used as projectiles; instead, the player transforms into a Bullet Bill themselves.
- A large number of bananas are fired out of a kart's cannon during the battle on Rainbow Road. In the games, bananas can be dropped as a single item, or three in the form of Triple Bananas.
- The Spiny Shell is known as the "Blue Shell", and due to belonging to the Koopa General, it does not attack whomever is in the lead (Peach and Toad) but instead attacks Mario and Donkey Kong.
- It also destroyed Rainbow Road, while in the games it is not capable of destroying the courses.
- In the Mario Kart series, all race courses either loop or have an end after the finish line. In the film, Rainbow Road is not presented in this fashion and is rather a straight two-way track with branching paths.
- Like in Super Mario Odyssey, Bowser plans a forced wedding to Peach, but unlike it, as Mario and Peach have not been established as love interests like in the games; Mario's motivations lie in saving Luigi instead of stopping Bowser from marrying Peach, and he does not attempt to directly stop the wedding nor propose marriage to Peach.
- Ice Peach is capable of freezing Bowser, unlike in the games.
- A Banzai Bill is referred to as the "Bomber Bill", and is roughly the size of a King Bill.
- It is also used as a high-powered weapon capable of destroying entire kingdoms (though the strike does not happen due to Tanooki Mario halting it), when no such thing is done in any game.
- The Tanooki Suit is referred to as the Raccoon Suit.
- Tanooki Mario has indefinite flight capability rather than only being able to fly for a short amount of time (though Raccoon Mario can fly indefinitely in the games using a P-Wing, the movie has Mario use a standard Super Leaf to become Tanooki Mario as in games such as Super Mario 3D Land).
- The effects of the Super Star last longer.
- Invincible Mario is able to destroy a Sledge Bro's hammer upon making contact with it whereas, in the games, they are merely deflected.
- Super Mushrooms and Mini Mushrooms are never referred to by their actual names, but generically as "red mushrooms" and "blue mushrooms" respectively; though the former power-up's Nintendo name is used in the bonus feature "The Super Mario Bros. Movie Field Guide" on the DVD release. The mushrooms also lack eyes when shown in the film, though they are depicted with eyes in the credits, promotional art and merchandise.

Trivia
- The Universal Pictures logo in this film runs shorter than its usual appearances.
- The Super Mario Bros. Plumbing commercial is presented in pillarboxed widescreen, and as the camera pans to show the Mario Bros., the aspect ratio widens to the cinematic anamorphic aspect ratio.
- There is an error after Luigi inadvertently defeats a Dry Bones. As he says, "You just got-a Luigi'd!", the back locks in his hair suddenly snap into place.
- Another error appears in the Mushroom Council scenes where Peach's earrings are missing from her ears.[225]
- Another error appears in the Training Course. When Mario starts it for the first time and runs over the Brick Blocks, in the background are some lines of Brick Blocks and Question Blocks, but they are absent when the camera shows the full jump.
- Bowser is the only character to refer to Princess Peach in-film by her name, Toad is never referred to by name by any other character (though Peach does use the name a few times, it is only in reference to the Toad species), and Kamek is never referred to by name at all.
- Several voice clips are reused during the course of the film, including:
- Mario screaming after he falls attempting to land on a platform, which is reused when he is launched by a dummy Bullet Bill.
- Luigi screaming after being captured by Shy Guys and Snifit, which is reused when Bowser pulls his mustache.
- Bowser saying, "I guess... love really makes a guy come out of his shell" from his mock proposal with Kamek, which is reused with his actual proposal with Peach.
- In the Latin American Spanish dub, there are instances in which the characters are dubbed imitating their voices in the games:
- This is common with Mario, such as during the training scene and in the scenes on the Rainbow Road, where Mario's yells and reactions are identical to those in the games.
- In the scene where Mario directs the Bomber Bill towards the Warp Pipe, he says "Follow me!" with an Italian accent imitating Charles Martinet.
