Mario Movie

[Nintendo has admitted](https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/10/mario-s-film-folly-the-true-story-behind-hollywood-s-biggest-gaming-blunder.aspx) to having a hands-off approach to previous movie iterations of its intellectual property. While it’s not that implausible for these two to appear in this film — they frequently appear in Mario spinoff games — the Kongs’ appearance has fans speculating as to Nintendo’s intentions. The trailer follows the release of the movie’s first official poster, which has been heavily scrutinized by fans. The voice cast was unveiled last year by series creator Shigeru Miyamoto in a very matter-of-fact presentation, and internet denizens erupted in laughter and shock as soon as Pratt’s smoldering headshot appeared on screen. The film appears to show Mario’s first arrival to the Mushroom Kingdom, mirroring the “isekai” tradition of Japanese science fiction storytelling, where a stranger from another land magically teleports into another unfamiliar world for adventure. The trailer features Bowser — with an unsurprisingly spirited performance by Jack Black — attacking the nation of penguins, who famously appeared in the level Cool, Cool Mountain in “Super Mario 64.” In a fight that’s over in seconds, Bowser asks who could dare challenge him.

Nintendo's trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie is finally out in the world, and so is Chris Pratt's extremely normal-dude Mario voice.

It showed the Mushroom Kingdom, a bunch of Toads, and most importantly, Mario, but only his backside. [extremely normal-dude Mario voice](https://kotaku.com/nintendo-direct-mario-movie-chris-pratt-trailer-accent-1848509515). The first look didn’t explain why everyone’s favorite Italian plumber lost his ass, but it does appear to confirm the recent leak of a Mario movie calendar by an alleged McDonald’s employee on the ConnorEatsPans Discord.

Finally, a confirmation of the title: The Super Mario Bros. In the Mario font and all! [We already knew that](https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/09/illumination-website-reverts-super-mario-movie-release-date-back-to-spring-2023), but it's nice to see it in the Mario font, at least. The M on his hat is smaller, his eyes and face are rounder, his moustache is a lot smaller (more realistic, probably), his ears are smaller, his eyes are closer together, his fingers are REALLY LONG, and he's got a little pocket on the front of his dungarees. A red-shirted, denim-dungareed man gets catapulted out of a green pipe to the strains of BEE-BEE-BEE-BOO-BEE-BOO! Well, okay, one thing: In the poster, there were islands and blocks and pipes floating all over the place. The man is surrounded by weird stuff and the first thing he wants to do is touch the one blue mushroom? We'll get to the inhabitants in a minute, because for now, it's time for Kamek! So, okay, we've got a Mario who doesn't know about the Mushroom Kingdom. The trailer released today has provided everyone with a first look at Mario in The Super Mario Bros. There are a lot of ice kingdoms in Mario, but this one isn't immediately familiar to us. A world in which we know what Mario sounds like.

We were promised a voice 'unlike anything you've heard in the Mario world before'. In The Super Mario Bros film, we got Pratt doing Paulie Walnuts instead.

(Martinet claims his portrayal of Mario is inspired by Petruchio in The Taming of the Shrew, but that’s by the by.) Then there was Bob Hoskins, who played Mario in the notoriously bad 1993 film Super Mario Bros, and knew the qualities he was bringing to it from the get-go. The trailer for The Super Mario Bros film is now out. It’s why Patrick Stewart, who has probably performed every role in the opening paragraph, also once played a poo emoji. There are certain seminal roles of stage and screen that all actors crave to play in their lifetimes.

This morning, we got to see the first trailer for Illumination's Super Mario Bros movie and hear Chris Pratt's voice for the character.

Hopefully, the writers can subvert the classic damsel in distress narrative, but we’ll have to wait and see. On Friday morning, the world witnessed the first trailer for The Super Mario Bros. This is, of course, subject to change, but it’s a pretty safe bet. Pratt has picked up a lot of voice acting roles over the past few years, in particular as the lead in The LEGO Move and its sequel, Onward, and the recently announced [Garfield movie](https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2021/11/with-news-of-chris-pratts-garfield-we-are-become-mondays/). The penguins look somewhat like those from Mario 64, except they’re less annoying and cuter. The movie will be produced by Illumination, the studio behind Despicable Me. The Super Mario Bros. And Keegan-Michael Key as Toad. And Chris Pratt’s voice. Detective Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog were both heaps of fun, after all. Given the track record of video game movies… We have finally heard Chris Pratt’s Mario voice.

On the flip side, we got a few voice lines from Jack Black’s Bowser, and he sounds fantastic. Most people’s first experience with Mario’s voice was in Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64. Others were upset at Chris Pratt’s involvement at all, owing to the controversies surrounding his faith and where he worships (it has been alleged that Pratt worshipped at a church that was anti-LGBTQ, but Pratt denies this.) Twitter has mostly coalesced around the “he just sounds like Chris Pratt’s normal voice,” train of thought. The Super Mario Bros. Nintendo released its first trailer for the upcoming Super Mario Bros.

Hopefully we'll get a glimpse at some more characters in the month ahead, including the likes of Princess Peach and Donkey Kong. Either way, this little dude clearly has quite a high standing in Bowser's army, introducing the man of the hour after a pretty epic period of set-up. It's clear he's all set up to be a kind of guide for the Mushroom Kingdom, introducing Mario to the citizens, the town, and of course, our beloved Princess Peach. We loved his little magic trick part way through, even if it did result in a bunch of Penguins flying across the ground. It's obviously a nod to his starring role in the Luigi's Mansion series, and we see him here running for dear life away from a bunch of admittedly pretty scary looking Dry Bones! We reckon he's going to be the breakout star of the movie and provide a lot of comic relief when times might seem dire for Mario and Co.

In this week's newsletter: the instant fury to Pratt's inauthentic portrayal of a fictional Italian plumber shows it just isn't possible to please fans.

Cancel the Today these adaptations need to be as unfailingly loyal as possible, with even the slightest hint of innovation prompting enraged pile-ons from the fanboys. Remove all your video game movies from the upcoming slate. Video game adaptations have long been the third rail – Certainly the Mario trailer gave off that sensation.

From Illumination's rendition of the Mushroom Kingdom through to Jack Black's Bowser, Keegan Michael-Key's Toad, Charlie Day's Luigi and - of course - Chris ...

I'll preface this by saying that I don't care that much for the Mario movie. I'm not sure if he's trying to put on a bit of a New York accent, but whatever it is it's not working for me. This is why I showed the trailer to my wife saying, "Oh man, it looks just like Mario 3." I had pretty much forgotten this film was on the way, so the trailer was kind of a double gift for me. How this all translates into a full movie remains to be seen, of course, but whichever way Mario himself turns out, I'm cautiously optimistic about the whole endeavour. Isn't he just an avatar for the player to "wahoo!" "Oh, this doesn't look so bad," I thought when the trailer first began. Does this mean that this take on Nintendo's games is going to be an origin story for the brothers? I have a lot of questions, and I am looking forward to finding out more in the future. Leading with Jack Black's Bowser was a masterstroke, since a perfect alchemy seems to have been found between the School of Rock star and Mario's nemesis, while the Mushroom Kingdom looks simply incredible (and simply quite edible, really - Mario levels at their best look good enough to eat, as was the case here with what Illumination has done with Nintendo's world). So, Mario doesn't seem to know the Mushroom Kingdom in this film! From Illumination's rendition of the Mushroom Kingdom through to Jack Black's Bowser, Keegan Michael-Key's Toad, Charlie Day's Luigi and - of course - Chris Pratt's not-so-novel take on Mario, there's a lot to unpack.

Hey, did anything happen to get revealed yesterday? I'm kidding, yes, the first official trailer for the Super Mario Bros. movie, of course. While.

While all evidence points to the Super Mario Bros. [One Twitter account](https://twitter.com/IronPineapple_/status/1578116881835229186) posited that since we’re hearing Chris Pratt’s normal Minnesotan accent, that Pratt himself is somehow turned into Mario, a la Jumanji rules, and now we’re following his adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom in the movie. Hopefully Peach isn’t too preoccupied with being kidnapped in the movie and manages to girlboss her way out of another castle to join Mario in kicking Bowser’s arse. movie](https://www.kotaku.com.au/2022/10/mario-movies-first-trailer-reveals-chris-pratt-sounds-like-just-a-dude-no-accent/), of course. To keep things in line with the lore of the Mario universe, I think it would be fitting for Pratt to become the titular character after a hit-and-run incident during one of those real-life [Mario Kart outings](https://www.kotaku.com.au/2020/07/the-real-life-go-karting-company-nintendo-sued-didnt-meet-crowdfunding-goal/). on the Nintendo Entertainment System first whisked him away to the Mushroom Kingdom. You’ve got an entourage of evil minions, pun not intended, in Bowser’s legion of Koopas, and a comically evil lair made in his own image. Upon arriving in the new world, which is typically a fantasy setting, the main character is thrust into becoming a hero who, under the guidance of a trusty crew of allies, i.e., Toad, must cleanse the world from its imposing and evil overseer: enter Jack Bowser. The typical structure of an isekai story revolves around its main character, in this case, Mario, being suddenly teleported into a new world. trailer places the film in that genre. Hollywood films like Space Jam, Back to the Future, and even the 1993 Super Mario Bros. [the first official trailer for the Super Mario Bros.

What do you think of the other VA work featured within the teaser? So, what do you think - does Mario's movie sound like what you expected it to? Chris Pratt, who has done a number of voice acting roles before, has been hyping it up for months now - previously stating how it would be " [unlike anything you've heard in the Mario world](https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/06/chris-pratt-on-voicing-mario-says-its-unlike-anything-youve-heard-in-the-mario-world)".

Universal Pictures and Illumination's animated film adaptation of the “Super Mario Bros.” game franchise has just dropped its first full trailer and it's ...

But it seems that will the new trailer dropping it’s quietened the masses as it’s actually pretty great. There’s been plenty of internet chatter since the film was first announced, mostly around the casting of Chris Pratt as the title character Mario. This will be the first adaptation of the popular Nintendo franchise since the 1993 live-action ‘Super Mario Bros’ which, was, problematic.

Chris Pratt won't be doing an Italian accent, but other dub actors can.

I can believe that Italian Mario is actually excited to be here, which is the [most important metric](https://kotaku.com/jack-black-super-mario-bros-movie-trailer-comic-con-1849627863) for any Super Mario Bros. [offending Italians](https://kotaku.com/mario-movie-chris-pratt-nintendo-illumination-charles-m-1849090005)” in his leading role in the Super Mario Bros. In fact, his voiced performance in the official trailer [was so lackluster](https://kotaku.com/nintendo-direct-mario-movie-chris-pratt-trailer-accent-1848509515) that I can’t help but wonder: What if Mario had been more Italian?

Watch the trailer for the "Super Mario Bros" movie.

The “Mario” theme song twinkles in the background as he awakens to find Toad. The “Mario” movie was announced in September 2021 with an original December 2022 release date, but the film has since been delayed to April 27, 2023. Toad leads Mario through the valley of gigantic mushrooms, with Princess Peach’s castle looming in the distance. He burns down the icy castle and takes control of a “Mario” star power-up. In a new scene, Mario flies through a green pipe into the Mushroom Kingdom, where he bounces off huge, red mushrooms until he flops on the ground. Bowser’s army of Koopa Troopas, led by Kamek the Magikoopa, face off against the ice kingdom’s legions of blue penguins, seen in the “Mario” games.

Before Thursday's trailer, the scope of the film remained a mystery, and its confounding casting choices (Keegan-Michael Key as Toad?!) kept longtime fans ...

The Mario movie is an isekai, a Japanese genre of storytelling in which the protagonist is magically teleported from their home to another, unfamiliar environment. Princess Peach is the archetype of the damsel in distress. In the movie, will Mario be able to gain new chances at life by collecting coins? The most jarring aspect of the Mario film is hearing Mario speak intelligible, complete sentences. In the case of the Galaxy series, it was tied to Mario’s health. Martinet is still reportedly voicing characters in the film, in what Nintendo has described as a “surprise” role. In the origin story written by Nintendo, and conveyed in “Yoshi’s Island,” we never witness the birth and parentage of Mario and Luigi. Penguins in Mario games have been a recurring presence since 1996′s “Super Mario 64,” where a level named Cool, Cool Mountain introduced us to penguins who love to race by sliding down the mountain. This leads us to further questions about the scope of the Mushroom Kingdom. After 40 years, this remains the biggest question at the roots of the Mario bros’ history. Before Thursday’s trailer, the scope of the film remained a mystery, and its confounding casting choices (Keegan-Michael Key as Toad?!) kept longtime fans wondering: “Just what the heck kind of movie is this going to be?” In “Super Mario Odyssey,” there’s a shadow version of New York City called New Donk City.
