Super Mario Bros Movie: Final Trailer

As Mario creator Shigeru Miyomoto explained when he appeared onscreen to introduce the final Super Mario Bros Movie trailer, he picked March 10 to debut the thing because “Mar 10” looks like “MARIO” if you squish it together. This isn’t exactly a new revelation; Nintendo has been trying to make “Mario Day” a thing for some time, discounting Mario-themed products on March 10 or introducing / announcing new ones on that day. This year, it was the trailer.

Also, today is March 9, not March 10. Shiggy explained it’s March 10 SOMEWHERE in the world right now and they wanted to be all-encompassing.

Joining Shigeru were all the actors in the film, together in one place (though it’s unclear if they were REALLY in one place or green-screened in pieces). Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Charlie Day as Luigi, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad and Chris Pratt as Mario appeared on one screen and made up some playful banter, while Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach and Jack Black as Bowser appeared separately after them. The film’s directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic also made an appearance after the trailer played, explaining the thought process behind the Rainbow Road kart sequence that has appeared in most of the trailers (including this one).

As for the trailer itself, not much was learned that was new. A Luma from Super Mario Galaxy showed up, and while that was INTENDED to be fresh information, the presence of Luma was already revealed via a set of Happy Meal toys that were released last month. It’s worth watching anyway.

The Super Mario Bros Movie premieres in theaters April 5 — NOT April 7 as was previously reported! They moved it up two days.

I will still refuse to watch this because Mario Don't have Italian accent. Chris Pratt didn't bother to give me what I want.

LOL we have the same hair @Pasta City

Don't get me wrong: the Last of Us tv show and Sonic movies are fantastic, but this appears to be the best video game adaptation to date. The irony of that option is amusing. It's difficult to believe I'm this enthusiastic for a film about illumination. If they get this right, the possibilities are limitless. A Smash Bros. cinematic world is a possibility. This movie, for the love of God, will radically change our perceptions of video game adaptations!

Since we were young, everyone has been anticipating a Mario movie adaptation filled with allusions to the games, action, a few jokes, and lovingly crafted animations. Disney has nothing to do with this. I'm sobbing with emotion! The 1990s version, which is absolutely unwatchable, still gives me nightmares.

I really hope they don't make Princess Toadstool into one of the heroes or whatever, making this just another woke Hollywood bullshit. People, she's not even wearing a dress! That's not how I remember her. I despise the idea that Luigi was picked as the damsel in distress instead of the princess.

Feminazis are like:

A male character rescuing a woman, as it most likely did? This is not acceptable!

Well, all of the trailers for the film have been sick as f! As a fan of the Mario video games, I'm grateful for this film since it feels like everything we've been hoping for. How lucky are we as viewers to have this film? Furthermore, I'm growing fond of Chris Pratt's Mario voice. And, at the end, the Mario Kart at Rainbow Road, as well as throwing the mushroom at the opponent's vehicle, just like in the games!

Can we start talking about a Legend of Zelda or Metroid movie after this one takes the box office by storm? They'll make fantastic movies, too, but I prefer cartoon over live-action. Some things just appear foolish in real life. Mario fails as a live-action film but excels as an animated film.

It's so cool that the film's creators are attempting to make "Mario Day" a reality. I'm curious if it will become popular like previous fandom holidays. Gosh, I can't wait for the Super Mario Bros. movie! I've been a fan of Mario since I was a kid, and I'm looking forward to seeing it come to life on the big screen. The Rainbow Road kart sequence sounds like a lot of fun. I'm excited to see how it's worked into the film.

The Rainbow Road kart sequence appears looks to be rather enjoyable. I'm looking forward to seeing how it's incorporated into the picture.It's a shame that the Luma appearance didn't surprise folks who had already seen the Happy Meal toys. Still, I'm intrigued about Luma's position in the picture.

I'm glad to hear that the movie release date was moved up instead of being delayed. I'm counting down the days until April 5th! Are you planning on watching it in theaters or streaming it at home?
