#Mario #Recap
Of course buddy! And we’re going to run down everything you need to know going into this movie. So whether you’re a superfan who needs a refresher, or if you’ve never played the game before, you’re in the right place.
So the trailers for this movie have been so much fun! They’ve featured the iconic Mushroom Kingdom with tons of recognizable characters and enemies from the games such as Princess Peach, Yoshis, Donkey Kong, Kamek, Goombas, Koopas, Lumas, and more.
And then we have Star Lord himself, Chris Pratt, as Mario. And his brother Luigi, played by Always's Sunny's Charlie Day.
Doug: Hey, neither of those guys are italian.
No they are not, and that’s understandably led to some controversy online. Considering that the pair of brothers have always been Italian, going all the way back to the 80’s.
Mario’s first appearance was in the Donkey Kong arcade game. The game was so successful that Mario wound up getting his own arcade game. And after that his own home video game in 1985. Since then, Mario’s stories are kind of all over the place.
Doug: What do you mean?
Mario games have never been very story focused. There isn’t a single timeline of events and each game kind of takes place in a vacuum. When there is a plot, they all follow a similar formula. Mario is a plumber either stuck in or from the Mushroom Kingdom, a place filled with sentient fungi named toads.
Doug: Oh no! Are they the bad guys liek in the last of us?
Nope, they’re just cute lil’ toadstool heads. There are a few notable Toads from the games we haven’t seen yet. Namely, Toadette, a pink female Toad-and Toadsworth, the advisor to the princess.
The Toads are protected by Princess Peach and the kingdom is terrorized by King Koopa, Bowser, a giant turtle-like monster. Bowser and/or his kids kidnap Peach and it’s up to Mario to rescue her. Classic damsel in distress.
Doug: You’d think they’d build better defenses in the castle at this point but I guess not.
Sometimes they do this song and dance in the Mushroom Kingdom, sometimes they do this all over the globe, sometimes in space, and sometimes in beautiful Italian vacation vistas.
Since then, Mario has been in tons of video games and spin offs. There’s the insanely popular Super Smash Brothers, where Mario fights other video game characters; Mario Party, where Mario and the gang all put aside their differences to play board games; Mario Kart, where they all race, and a laundry list of others ranging from basketball to being a doctor.
The Super Mario Brothers franchise is the second highest grossing video game property in the world, only behind Pokemon which got its own movie in 2019. So it was only a matter of time before Nintendo partnered with Illumination Studios, the makers of the Despicable Me movies, to make the Mario movie a reality.
Doug: Wait, person, wasn’t there already a Mario movie that was like… really REALLY bad?
sigh Yeah there was but that was a long time ago. In 1993, a live action Mario movie was made involving weird Dinosaur people, rocket launchers, and Princess Daisy, a character we haven’t seen appear in the movie yet. This movie SUUUCKED and exemplified a terrible trope that these movie studios love to make when it comes to video game adaptations.
A lot of movie studios decide to frame these video game characters in our world to make general audiences feel relatable and so they don’t need to interact with the wacky places video game characters come from. This always just makes fans of the games feel isolated and delivers a mediocre movie. Take the recent Resident Evil and Monster Hunter movies for example.
In the case of the 1993 Mario movie, not only did they bring the koopas to the real world by creating these disgusting dino lizard things, but they also decided to make a parallel universe city called Dinohattan. I mean come on really?
Doug: Isn’t Mario from Brooklyn though?
Most of the time, yeah. When Mario’s origin is brought up like in that live action movie or the old Super Mario Super show, he and Luigi are plumbers from Brooklyn who fall down some pipes that warp them to the Mushroom Kingdom.

If a sequel is made and Wario is included, he better be voiced by Danny DeVito.

The super Mario franchise can go to so many directions with sequels or even spinoffs. There’s no question that this move is gonna do really well and that’s going to make for future projects down the road with without illumination. It probably won’t stop, which is the Mario brothers. Remember, there’s other franchise under the tent of Nintendo like Zelda, Metroid, Animal Crossing, Star Fox, F-Zero, etc. Nintendo is the “Disney” of video games.

they even have crossover fighting game with super mario bros , zelda, pokemon ,disney, star fox video games heros ,they even have a group of persona users to use so a super smash bro would not be bad at all .
The Super Mario Bros game on Nintendo and SNES was literally my childhood. I'm so excited to watch this film. I feel 10 years old all over again!
Charlie Day is actually Italian-American, at least partially. Sure, he's not fresh off the boat Sicilian, but neither is Charles Martinet

That was so well done!! Great content I had a blast watching. Off to the theater NOW! 🍄
FINALLY!!!! 🙌🏽 something i been waiting for a long time
I only had issues with Rainbow Road in Mario Kart Wii.
Mario is a really stable series, though! From it's debut "Mario Bros" up to the Mario Movie, it's really good!
I loved the super show so much. Its hilarious how Lou Albano doesn't jump in the intro. Instead, he takes these big steps that are supposed to be him jumping. The jump sound affect plays and he's not even attempting to be airborne.
snes mario and zelda were such a delight as a kid, that music and mystery and the world-building, it was magical, the nes versions were amazing as well but man did they step it up with the snes versions, really super mario world with that snes controller is the perfect set up
Cool recap!
thank you i grew up playing nes, snes, mostly all super mario games except newer 1s, but thank you for this video
I hope they have to play Mario Golf for some reason in the movie
WAHOO!
Screw Mario! The SPIDERVERSE needs a breakdown rn rn
I loved this movie so much.
Thanks man I'm gonna watch it tomorrow I only know the basics Cuz I played the og game in the old Gameboy my auntie had
I hope this movie is super successful. I would love for it to lead to a Zelda, Metroid, Kirby, MegaMan, StarFox, Kid Icarus, Earthbound animated movies and have them all interconnect in a shared universe leading to a Smash Bros movie. How amazing would that be.
I think we need a sequel that is just Mario RPG. RPG is one of the only games that implies that further stuff with Mario, Peach, and Bowser have already happened. Also it allows for a new villain, the smitty gang! I also just want a more modern version of Mallow and Geno! But I would LOVE to see Wario and Waluigi as villains. Also the Master Hand as a villain for a live action smash bros crossover? Gimme!
Bravo on the “my Mom” drop!
Spring Mario was fun but so wildly uncontrollable
Needs a Link "Well excuse me Princess" gag for how they tacked on the Zelda cartoon along with the Mario Bros TV show.
There isn't 9 minutes of Mario lore lol. Bowser kidnaps the princess, the end.
Woohoo!
I hope we get a throw away line about trusting the fungus.
Loved the 90s smb movie its a guilty pleasure
Charlie Day is part Italian, his Grandfather changed his name to Day when he moved to America
Would love see you breakdown the actual super Mario games as well. Maybe Screencrush for video games lol
Watching this after the movie 🤓👍
Baby Mario double jump!
This movie was wonderful.
My son and I are going tomorrow, so I hope it's a fun watch...the fact that it has no reviews yet, the day before release, is a bit of a concern though.

Are you gonna do a video on the blue beetle trailer?
3:41 That got debunked. The voice actress spoke out and said she had no involvement in the movie and that illumination did not contact her
Mario...deepest lore.
Super Mario Bros 2 was my shit. Loved that game.
I saw a clip on tik tok of Bowser singing, i've never been so scared in my entire life, i dunno if it's real tho?🤔
I thought this would have more history of the Super Mario games than it did. This is mostly a lot of spoilers for the movie with some references to the games.
Dude I came for a history lesson, not an entire back half filled with a rundown of spoilers from the trailers

I hope we see Mama Luigi.

The movie was good. Chris Pratt did a great job on the voice. Plus, Jack Black gets to sing, naturally. The only odd thing about the film. Mario takes his gloves off. You see his hands!!!
New shirt?
Watched it. Luv'd it. Ya~H0o! 🍄🤣♥️🇵🇭
Fully on board with matpats theory from ages ago that Luigi and Peach are the couple. Sorry Mario, Luigi is the better brother. He's taller and jumps higher and further. Also, that dangly leg thing from smb2 was really good for controlling jumps.

Shy guy. Better reveal its face it’s only reason I’m seeing the movie
Aren’t Mario and Luigi from Brooklyn?
is this low key Thor Ragnarok?
I just hoping for romantic story about Mario and Peach.
Bruh there is as much Mario lore as there is Popeye lore. It's just a goofy cartoon.
My prediction is it will be a movie of it's time.
Cool breakdown but dang it's like you already know what's going to happen. Lol trailers are baaaaad....

The JoBlo originals KZread channel gets it, I agree with them, it is awfully good. I can agree with that thumbnail
Do people really care if the actors are Italian? Only Twitter trolls are bothered by that.
I am not feeling the pick for the voice of Mario since they should've kept the original voice actor Charles Martinet
I thought to follow up the movie, why don't Nintendo make an open world video game out of it, a Super Mario Odyssey kind of game. It goes along with how the movie went and it can also have side quests similar to the way Odyssey was. I think this would be an instant hit and will definitely benefit Nintendo!
But you didn't promote a sponsor...? 😢
It's a me
They were Italian american until Mario 64! I am loving that they went back to that because the fake Italian voice gets so grating and would not be enjoyable for an entire movie.
Wario misunderstood he just gangster Mario leaches off females without Wario there is no Mario he helped Yoshi save there asses as a baby when Mario and logia were babys WO BETTER
Super Mario Brothers was an arcade game first. And is actually a ripoff of Super Pac Land.
You’ll make a Mario recap video, but not for the Sonic movies? 🙄
0:41 You said Lumas when you showed Spinys
For some reason ONLY KIDS will watch this movie. At least, every movie theater in my country thinks so... So I can't get tickets with English voice acting. Bummer...
Uhhh Pokemon got a movie back in like the 90s or 2000s... it was an animated film with trippy cut scenes.

Blasphemy, the original SMB movie was sooo bad it wrapped around the end of the universe right back into epicness. It's like Knights of Badassdom, so cheesy that it transcends badness right back into GOAT territory. Disliking this video on principle.
