“The Super Mario Bros. Movie”
Movie Review
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is an American
computer-animated adventure film from 2023 that is based on Nintendo's Mario
video game series. Matthew Fogel wrote it, and Aaron Horvath and Michael
Jelenic were in charge of the direction. The ensemble cast includes voice
actors Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael
Key, Seth Rogen, and Fred Armisen. The movie tells the origin story of the
Italian-American plumber brothers Mario and Luigi, who are transported to
another realm and get involved in a conflict between the Koopas, led by
Browser, and the Mushroom Kingdom, led by Princess Peach.
In April 2023, The Super Mario Bros. Movie was released.
Critics gave the movie a mixed bag of reviews, but viewers gave it a more
favorable response. It broke numerous box office records, including the biggest
worldwide opening weekend for an animated picture and the highest-earning movie
based on a video game. It was the fourth-highest-grossing movie of 2023.
Mario and Luigi, two Italian-American brothers, recently
opened a plumbing company in Brooklyn. Mario's father thinks Luigi is going
down with him and disapproves of his decision to quit his steady employment
working with his nasty ex-employer Spike. Mario and Luigi head underground to
address a huge manhole leak they saw on the news, but they get separated when
they get dragged through a Warp Pipe.
Luigi lands in the Dark Lands, controlled by the wicked Koopa king
Browser, while Mario lands in the Mushroom Kingdom, ruled by Princess Peach.
When Peach rejects his proposal of marriage, Bowser threatens to deploy a Super
Star to destroy the Mushroom Kingdom. In order to threaten Mario, whom he views
as a rival for Peach's affection, he locks Luigi up. Toad introduces Mario to Peach when they first
meet. As she joins forces with the ape Kongs to battle Bowser, Peach decides to
take Mario and Toad with her. If Mario beats Donkey Kong in a duel, King Cranky
Kong of the Jungle Kingdom offers to help. Donkey Kong is powerful, but Mario
beats him with a catsuit.
On an attempt to return to the Mushroom Kingdom on karts,
Mario, Peach, Toad, and the Kongs are ambushed by Bowser's army on Rainbow
Road. Mario and Donkey Kong fall into the ocean and are eaten by an eel-like
Maw-Ray while the other Kongs are kidnapped as a Koopa General ruins a portion
of the road. Returning to the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach, and Toad urge the
populace to leave. After Toad is tortured by Bowser's advisor Kamek, Peach is
grudgingly asked to marry him when Bowser comes on his flying castle. After
discussing how their different fathers never take their decisions seriously,
Mario and Donkey Kong escape the Maw-Ray on a rocket from Donkey Kong's kart
and hasten to Bowser and Peach's wedding.
In honor of Peach, Bowser intends to drown all of his
hostages in the lava at the wedding banquet. In order to freeze Bowser, Peach
utilizes an Ice Flower that Toad smuggled into her bouquet. Arriving with
Donkey Kong, Mario uses a Tanooki suit to help Luigi before freeing the
inmates. Bowser, now free and furious, summons a Banzai Bill to annihilate the
Mushroom Kingdom, but Mario diverts it into the Warp Pipe, where it explodes,
creating a vacuum that moves Bowser's castle to Brooklyn.
Mario and Luigi acquire the Super Star, turn invincible,
and vanquish the Koopas as they battle Bowser. Bowser is contained in a jar
after being miniaturized by a Mini Mushroom. Brooklyn residents laud Mario and
Luigi as heroes and celebrate them, including their parents and Spike. Mario
and Luigi move to a new house in the Mushroom Kingdom after the battle. A Yoshi
egg hatches in the pipeline tunnel under Brooklyn in a post-credits sequence.
