:0 it's RU-vid itself!!1!

I would love to see that happen 😂😂😂😂

Who still watches the OSCARS i thought it was dead

Though it's done for laughs, it's actually a beautiful song.

@@Hinatachan360 yea

Ok

True

Also, one thing I noticed in the scene when Kamek is talking to Bowser about Mario and Luigi, he uses the term "Star Child". A reference that Mario, Luigi, Peach and Bowser are mentioned to be Star Children in Yoshi's Island DS.

The reason why Luigi never pulls up his sleeves is because if he did, the swoleness of his arms would burst out and make bodybuilders look like stick figures.

@@joshuakim5240 ah yes. Part 3 of Luigi’s Bizzare Adventure: Mushroom Crusaders

@@Ba1M30 Sounds more like a Nintendo brand acid recipe

@@Ba1M30 Luigi: Oh? You're Approaching Me

Wish they gave luigi a bit more screentime tho...😢

It's not uncommon for video game characters to be theorized as immortal here on game theory so why bother wasting a whole video on it? 😂 *Not trying to sound rude*

@@Anna.user723 why are just commenting “yup” all the time?

I know right?

​@@CreaseJs it's a bot

Also funny think Matt's wrong dry bones do die just from own a pit of lava and they're dead

That is why having the power star is so dangerous.

Perhaps the only way to die is being taken out by someone using a power up. DK wasn't using any special items when he was fighting Mario but since Mario had the cat suit, he was able to inflict damage to him. This is also why the Mushroom kingdom is so afraid of Bowser when he has the super star. He can do actual damage to them, even killing the entire kingdom I also noticed that when Mario and Luigi use the super start to defeat Bowser in Brooklyn, Bowser doesn't really show evidence of damage either. I'll have to watch the movie again but I don't remember seeing damage and he certainly didn't die. So I wonder if the power up items have a different affect in the real world vs the Mushroom Kingdom.

Yes

Peach is neither the mother, nor daughter of Rosalina.

@@catmario-_3170 How you know? You storyboarder?

@@samurexatlas7373 Because literally nothing implies that in the Game verse, let alone the movie verse probably. Peach is not Rosalina's mother nor daughter in the games, nor do they have a close connection. Because of this, why would illumination just make Peach related to Rosalina in the movie verse when that's not a thing in any media of Mario? That doesn't make sense. All of Mapats Mario theories are false, and you shouldn't take them for granted.

@@catmario-_3170yes there is, there are 2 videos on who is rosiline’s parents

Good.....

yesyes

You must have skipped those

Cool💯

Beautiful ❤️

It's clearly obvious. Why did nobody pick that up?

I gotta admit that at first I thought it was a bit forced but quickly changed my mind in that Peach just wanted to help him out since he was lost in this newfound world and is trying to find his brother, I just can not understand why people think it was rushed? Also something funny I realized is that some of Chris´ roles has them get beat up by badass woman at first sight for a good reason lol all of them except Emmet who just got slapped with a cactus all because he lied about being a master builder and the guy that can save the world (which he eventually did in the end), okay the master builder part I get, but Lucy did just tell him earlier that he was the person that can save the world, so he is not really lying if she quite frankly told him that he was the one so that´s kinda on her, out of all the main Pratt roles I have seen so far (and every main character for that matter that I know of), Emmet is the one that I think has had the worst treatment by far in any media (sorry Star lord fans), for two movies straight, this guy would go as far as to risk his life to save the people that he cares about, and everyone else would respect him for it, then years later act like he did absolutely nothing in the last movie, even though they straight up dipped out and were ready to accept their fate the moment they learned that he was not what they were expecting, even Emmet himself was starting to get slightly fed up during the moment where the gang were thinking of ideas on how to build their submarine and Emmet tried to tell them that putting all their ideas together would not work but they didn´t listen and he just had look of ¨I don´t know why I even put up with these people¨ look, I swear you can not make a character any more sympathetic than this, okay that´s all.

Mario clearly was not important to bring on the journey, since Peach could do everything from platforming to fighting Donkey Kong on her own, and she even says "he's not important" when talking to the Toads about Mario. Whatever Mario did in his journey to save Luigi and defeat Bowser, Peach could do with less difficulty. She may have shown kindness to Mario by letting him come along on the journey, but by doing so she risked endangering his life and potentially killing him. A good reason to have Mario go on the journey would be if Peach couldn't, as in there had to be something holding her back from going, like an injury or something. Maybe if it happened after Mario completed his training, this would give Mario a reason to go instead of Peach, as he would be the second-best parkour platformer in the land, behind Peach. Of course, my argument would be totally invalid, but I thought that this was how the story should go to give Mario further reason to go on the journey.

Plus... Mario's like the first human she's ever met, so of course she would want him to stick around instead of running off on his own.

@@bencroyle3962 I think Peach knew she wouldn't be able to convince Mario to stay behind. He was trying to find his brother and we all know that Mario doesn't take no for answer when it comes to getting aid in finding Luigi. Mario would do anything to protect and save Luigi. If Peach said know, Mario would've put himself in danger anyway and Toad would have too because he was trying to help. Mario wouldn't have stood a chance on his own, especially if he didn't know about power-ups. Bowser would've defeated him within seconds. Peach increased his chances by taking him with her.

...and saxophones

I believe that Lumas are obsessed with death because in the games they have to die to create a new planet or galaxy.

Course he’s immortal. Mario got himself lotsa lives YAHOOO

About Lumalee, will there be an origin story for Rosalina?

@@geomania8533 During the scene when Mario and Luigi were using the star, I was thinking about how many extra lives they'd earned.

The other possible factor that played a part in this was her witnessing Mario's determination. He never gave up for even a second. Even after she fell asleep he continued to try. He's persistent and didn't listen when someone told him no. Even pushing through his repulsion to mushrooms just to save his brother.

I kinda assumed her reasoning was along the lines of "no use refusing a free volunteer!"

@@tmisen18 -pfp is clearly a kid -pfp is a badly taken photo -threatening someone over the internet -talking about a completely different subject than the comment they're replying to -"I'm a big people" -"I'm not a kid" guy's i think we've got ourselves a kid lying about their age

​@RoyalMeera No surprise a Steven Universe fan would be able to clearly tell when someone is a child. ...This is a joke, by the way, I have nothing against SU fans. Just had to say this in case of any arguments-

It's still very weak motivation. Just "eeh, why not".

I always thought Kid Icarus would be a good anime. Along with Splatoon which already has a manga series.

I loved Kid Icarus. Too bad it's unlikely we'll see more of it....

Especially since they made anime shorts of it to promote the game. They literally showed it'd translate well.@@hemiwarrior6226

yeah I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and I personally didn't think the 80s music was out of place. I thought it was to reference the era the Mario series first became so popular.

Personally I'd like that so that they can show us why the king boo at the wedding wasn't the right king boo (the Correct king boo is the one with the design from luigi's mansion 2 and 3, while the incorrect one is the one that appears in spinoff games like mario kart. they showed the wrong design which opens the door to either just a mistake or perhaps there are two of them, or maybe he just looks different depending on certain circumstances)

​@Yoshifan4456 we don't mention luigi mansion 2 remember that lol

Some of the concept art released recently showed Luigi interacting with boos when he was trapped in the Dark Lands. Cool to think about, but wonder why they were cut

@@greysonbrooks6387 Yeah. I thought the Shy Guys and Sniffit were a weird choice, considering the horde of Dry Bones right outside.

Or it's just low hanging fruit...

@@MaxLennon you do have a point

Fr

After what I saw in the movie, I was wondering how many lives that Mario had in that movie.

I was also thinking that

the pipe to the Mushroom Kingdom is just in some random sewer system under Brooklyn, Mario guesses that no one's been there in years but it's still very possible that at some point a human or two ended up there, maybe Wario and Waluigi or something for all we know

I think Everyone ins the Mushroom Kingdom already knew what a human is, I already made a comment on it thus far. Plus, Peach is a Princess; she has access to several sources of knowledge, but at least the movie acknowledges that a human in the mushroom kingdom is rare.

@@orangeinkius7257 It's probably gonna turn out to be a thing were the Mushroom Kingdom turns out to be some sort of central traveling nexus point for the "Warp System" to ALL galaxies and dimensions out there in the Nintendo world, including "real" earth. Hence why a warp had to be there for Brooklyn too. Maybe Rosalina herself built the warp system to make traveling long distance easier at some point in the past? As for Peach, I think it's the other way around for her relationship with Rosalina: She's not Rosalina's mother, She's her daughter. Since Rosalina is a "goddess" of the galaxy of sorts, that takes into account as to why Peach doesn't call herself human despite appearances. She instinctively knows she's divine and from the stars. That said, yeah, it'd be nice to know how they already know humans exist. In Chronicles of Narnia, humans are treated almost like a legend at best or conspiracy at worst, almost like we would consider aliens. But the Narnianans know about us through legends and stuff. Maybe it's something similar with the Mushroom Kingdom.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BeUOn_s2K0U.html Finally it’s here🤠

You know what game that started as a generic jumpman platformer, was heavily designed around vertical scrolling mechanic like Kid Icarus and ICe Climber, a bit of Gunpei Yokoi staple? A little project they then released as part of a fuji TV licensing deal, called... Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic. At this point the vertical scrolling had drastically been altered more towards typical horizontal scrolling. MAYBE the alteration to Yume Kojo project never happened, because Fuji TV never HAD THAT EVENT. Because... Sarasaland does exist in this universe, complete with Shy Guys.

I would like for matpat to come up with a theory on game theory on how peach has heart powers, because that would make for an interesting theory.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking too when he brought up “peach is a star” thing. It technically already exists because of Yoshi’s Island DS

And DK

you forgot Donkey Kong

You forgot Seth Rogan

Third wave femin1st agenda. ;)

There just might not be many. And others chose to not stick around the Mushroom Kingdom in particular.

Which could be hinting that Rosalina possibly exists as the 1st human there

That makes sense though 😮

oh no, my friend....Daisy not appearing in this movie is the best part. this means in *the next movie, Daisy will likely have a much more significant role- **_possibly even as a main character._*

@@hobomike6935 I hope so😭

They hinted at her slightly when the toad council pulled up the map You see a dessert region which I'm assuming is sarasaland. The kingdom ruled by princess daisy

i was hopping for a escape arc where luigi finds daisy trappedin that place too and they both escape and make their own plans to find mario and stop bowser, still what we got was very cool but they put mah boi in cage for nearly half of the movie

Just hope that she isnt developed in a way that makes matpat belive that she is the sorting hat

ok

How what

@@TheDestroyedOne mark is making an iron lung movie

Because they wanted an emotional moment.

@@menaceptor6897 oh yeah I understand why they did it I was saying I'm glad he mentioned it cause I don't see ppl talking about it much

Well, other humans could have entered in the past.

Love Mario 💕

Kamek is a wizard. He knows things.

@Man man Nobody click on that link.

I knew it! This proves kamek is Rosalinas mom!! (Magikoopa reproduce like seahorses with the males giving birth)

I agree since the move is done by Illumination, you know the studio who made the Despicable Me series.

Yeah but I hope king boo has his Luigi’s mansion design, in bowsers wedding he was just a big normal boo

I’ve always loved Mario so I don’t really wanna see him doing nothing, like a sidekick because lore-wise it doesn’t make much sense. But, a situation where Mario gets captured where Luigi has to become independent would work

​@@evagarcia865 Maybe the plot they'll use to change King Boo's design for the next movie will be the power of the crown he wears transforming him to his very core.

fair theory

The ‘DK is a narcissistic’ theory

@@aguyontheinternet8436 thanks

my headcannon now

Basically it’s like Magic Mycelium. The spores and roots of everything that is in close proximity turn things into copies of them. The toads are half turned humans who have spent enough time in close proximity to Goombas that look entirely like Mushrooms. Princess Peach mad a safe haven in the “Mushroom Kingdom with a safe quarantine zone to make sure ve don’t become FULL Goombas. How? The magic of the crown. Remember the crown that started the whole Bowsette thing? What if all crowns in the Mushroom kingdom and beyond negate the effects of the Magic Mycelium. The crown keeps her Human looking, and- by extension, her Toad subjects… so they all plateau at a Toad stage and never progress to Goomba or full Mushroom state. This is also part of my Bowser theory… Bowsette is Bowser’s true form reverted back to before she was turned into a wierd amalgamation of all the underdwellers. Fire Red hair like a fire Spark… A Koopa’s shell… A Spiny’s spikes… Fire Breathing Piranha plant… sharp fangs like a chain chomp… Dinosaur features like Rex. Infected by so many different strains of mycelium from all these different monsters of the mushroom kingdom… Bowser becomes the most powerful of all of them- but in the process forgot what they originally were. Until the Koopa kids there’s nothing like Bowser in the whole world… and it’s pretty hard to imagine a boy dragon/turtle/dinosaur thing squeezing out an egg. Unless Bowser was now both and could do it Asɇхυally, ie: was female, and became more masculine by being around all the turtles and things that are largely male through their mycelium. We don’t see hardly any femme Goombas except for the odd handful, like Goombette in Paper Mario. It’s a sausage fest down there. The obsession with kidnapping Peach every week may not be as romantic as it became, but it might have started from a feeling of “being around this person makes me feel more human” because of the magic of her crown’s proximity effect. Eventually that need for relief from the Magic mycelium could have turned into this wierd feeling of “i have to have peaches! I need her!” And kidnapping her bordered on an obsessive compulsion or addiction. Not knowing her crown was the cure. I mean, doesn’t Bowser seem happier when they’re Bowsette? Are they still trying to kidnap peach? Or are they finally happy and the dysphoria is finally over? It’s almost like that’s the real version that they were all along, or deep down… The Crown is the Key to everything.

Yeah that could probably happen. 🤔

I vaguely remember something about Peach Daisy and Rosalina being star children and also siblings

I feel like that'd be a cool idea

Exactly! Daisy and Peach could be cousins who wandered in the pipes as babies, but were separated. In the sequel, Peach searches for Daisy in Sarasaland after being apart for 20+ years to uncover more about her past.

Actually if you think about what lumas do in Mario Galaxy they’re just whiling to die and transform themselves into planets galaxies etc, specifically the blue lumas with mouths like the one in the movie they ask you to feed them so they can die and become a planet, so it's just their way of seeing life and death but of course a little more cinical and creepy because it's funny.

possibly a story told to her by the toads

correct

or maybe it was just that strong of a memory?

ok

I was the 69th like hehe

well i'm sure there was a pipe leading back up

@@CaydenBarfuss Yeah but how did he not fall to his death?

@@gavindinsmoor8196 cause the water would break his fall. unless i'm wrong am I?

@@CaydenBarfuss Well if he hit the water too hard he'd still die.

@@gavindinsmoor8196 what if there's some remnant of the power-up left i his body?

Always remember. This is nintendos game they let Sony and Microsoft play it

That’s what I was going to say!

Honestly, if they said the act of existing in the Mushroom Kingdom’s world meant that you had some king of ‘increased defense’, I’d still buy it.

I remember the ice pack, but I don’t recall any bruise being visible. Can anyone confirm if a bruise is visible from the DK fight?

@@shivorath nope, there isn't any bruise there when mario is holding his ice pack

Mario's always been a bit of a bruiser and not afraid to throw hands; he grew up in brooklyn, New York as a utility/contractor/plumber by trade. I'm honestly surprised he didn't turn out a bit _more_ gruff than he is; that's usually a rough life. I guess he stayed a bit soft because he had Luigi to act as a moral compass and keep him from becoming embittered and angry.

Well, it’s almost “any Mario fan’s dream film”

Yeah

It's fine 😊

i thought it was a fun and exciting movie but I think puss in boots the last wish is better BUT the Mario show is actually a fun movie. I really loved the movie though it was really awesome and fun

My mood was so good after I watched it lol

We had to wait until we were adults for Mario to make an appearance on the silver screen the way he deserved to, but they finally did it! and we couldn't have asked for more! the live action version, the 3 TV series, and the anime adaption were cute, but just didn't do him justice; but this movie knocked it out of the park.

Based dad 🗿Ⓜ️👲🏼

ok

yes

That could explain why Mario and Luigi looked different from the other kids when they were babies and even a bit different from their own relatives. They were destined for greatness.

@@barneythedino4301 You are destined for a m3ntal hospital.

Brooklyn is a borough of New York City. it's not a land in Mushroom Kingdom or anything.

@carsonwintrs bot

I'm glad Yoshi, Daisy, Wario, Rosalina, and others didn't appear in this movie outside of yoshi's very minor cameo, because they would not have received enough screentime. by saving them for later movies, they can be far more impactful as supporting characters, or perhaps even secondary characters.

I know she’s not a real character in Nintendo I would have loved Bowsette to some how show up in the movie. Even though Nintendo CLEARLY wants to forget Bowsette for… reasons. But still, Bowsette would be a fun side character too

she better say "hi i'm daisy" for her first line

ok

​@@allisonwoodruff3966 we don't need genderbend boner bait in theaters

idk. Something about her just feels _off_ compared to the games

Also he doesn't know if he would or wouldn't die

Yeah, quite a few asterisks on this one. We don't know if becoming drybones is a koopa feature. We don't know if beady eyes as kids represent human, or male, or is just a mario family trait. We have no evidence telling Kid Icarus was the break-through game, only that it exists. The arcade had an alternate version of the Donkey Kong game with a yeti as the bad guy. There is _no reason_ to just assume something similar didn't happen with the Mario franchise as well. Maybe in Mario's native Earth there was a game about, I dunno, a spark called Chip that searched the CPU Kingdom far and wide for a data package stolen by King CMD Prompt, but every time Spark reached the goal there was a guy named Error telling him that the Data Package is on another hard drive. We don't know.

Some sacrifices keep the person/thing/animal alive so idk that does raise some questions

ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍʏ ᴜꜱᴇʀɴᴀᴍᴇ…

@@JesusChrist-kj2eu right you are

Yeah

Yeah totally

Yep

Also I don't think the Kongs actually live in Mushroom Kingdom so the fight between Mario and DK doesn't support the theory either.

Maybe they're not immortal but have an incredibly high tolerance for pain?

Also since Mario gets hit while in mini state, he should die from that.

Yes

Can we please see an Amazing World of Gumball theory there is so much lore and the seri3s ends with a cliffhanger. It’s an amazing show form Cartoon Network that deserves to be recognized plus heavy LORE.

Yes! I would love to see a legend of Zelda movie like this!

But Nintendo might want Metroid and Zelda for instance to have different art styles from this Mario Movie, which is why they didn’t have Illumination include references to them in this movie yet. And a different artstyle might warrant a different studio, which would make a crossover difficult. I agree that it‘d be awesome though.

That's just a theory. A GAME... Eh hem..... A FILM THEORY

in Theory, In GAAAAME theory, the Mario, Zelda and Metroid games are set in the same place, but in very different timelines

I don’t know.:

Or they will use a multiverse by NOT having a shared universe.
