The Training Course[1] in The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a floating obstacle course that Mario goes through to train for battle against Bowser. When Mario and Peach arrive at the location, a giant ? Block appears out of the water and turns into the Training Course.
It features various blocks and objects from the Super Mario franchise, as well as dummy versions of enemies. Peach tells Mario that if he manages to finish the course, he can join her on her journey, and demonstrates the course by going through it herself, completing it perfectly.[1] Mario is seen attempting the course during the day and night while Peach watches and failing multiple times in different ways, including being knocked out by a dummy Fire Bar, being blasted by a dummy Bullet Bill, and falling after standing on a Donut Block for too long. The Training Course later reappears during the credits.
