FIRST TIME WATCHING *The Super Mario Bros. Movie* 

I like that Peach wasn’t the damsel-in-distress in this movie. Having Luigi be the victim makes more sense. For one, it makes more sense for Mario to go on a journey to save his brother rather than some chick he hardly knows, but it also really helps Mario and Peach have time together to get to know each other and possibly fall in love.

An explanation for the blue Luma, in case anyone forgets: When Lumas die, they explode and turn into planets and galaxies. That Lumas not suicidal, its ready to be reborn!

That "YOSHI" at the end was the cutest thing I've ever heard come out of Seb's mouth

is no one gonna talk about how seb casually made his pecs dance LMAO i was so caught off guard by that 😂

The training montage was for every single gamer that spent so many hours playing the same level over and over again, and finally beating it.

5:16 “I’m tired of feeling so small” “Well you need to each your mushrooms then, don’t you?” 😂😂😂

Honestly one of my favourite films from this year, the writing is a bit lacking but the animation, voicing, music and overall presentation are amazing, and you can tell that the people who made this really love the games.

a lot of critics didn’t get it. the movie was soo good and the details down to the way mario runs and swirling down the pole like it’s a flag in the games were so accurate

Mario is the first human Peach has seen since she's a baby! She's been the only human in the kingdom

It still pisses me off that critics can’t stand this movie, it’s perfection!

Love this movie! It made $1.3 billion dollars at the box office! A sequel is in development, but its been put on hold due to the WGA/SAG STRIKE. Only time will tell if the sequel will get a 2026 release

7:16 Shy Guy was my favorite as a kid. And seeing this scene in theaters, was awesome. Loved the way they introduced him in the movie

Since no one asked, here's my Pitch for a Luigi's Mansion movie Opening scene is King Boo getting word of the Mario Brothers, and sending Boos to spy on them. By now, the brothers are firmly established in the Mushroom Kingdom as the Mario Brothers, and when we first see them now, they’re putting up fliers offering their services. But immediately, we can see that when someone stops to talk to them, everyone seems to be gravitating towards Mario. Which is fine, and even expected, as people know him as the guy that saved the Kingdom. But it’s not long before Luigi’s insecurities rear up their ugly heads, to the point where he feels like he can’t even tell Mario about them. What insecurities exactly? The one’s you’d expect: only being known as Mario’s brother, or the guy that got trapped in a cage that needed Mario to rescue him. Which get worse when someone makes an offhand comment that gets under his skin. It’s essentially a parallel to what their dad said to Mario: about holding Mario back now that he’s a hero. But here’s the secret: those comments don’t really bother him. It’s already been established that Luigi has been Mario’s #1 fan since before they even knew the Mushroom Kingdom existed. If people gush over Mario more, they’re just repeating what he’s known since they were babies. Why would that kind of talk start to bother him now? No. For Luigi’s insecurities to be as bad as we’re being shown, it has to go deeper than that. The real fear is that one day MARIO will see that, and just decide he’s done looking out for him. You thought he was heartbroken when trapped in the cage? NOTHING compared to what happens upon thinking of that. However long that takes, everything comes to a head when Luigi gets the notice about winning the mansion in the mail, and he decides to go check it out. Whether it’s because he suspects something is up or he’s too distracted by his insecurities, does not matter. What does is that he decides to go alone to prove he’s not just Mario’s little brother. And I will emphasize this right here and now: Luigi does not blame Mario for ANY of this. He loves Mario the same as he always has, if not more, and it’s that exact love why he’s so scared of losing him. He shrugs off Mario’s questions as to why he’s going alone, and leaves. Which then prompts Mario to check out the notice himself, and after some research, realizes Luigi’s about to walk into a trap, and runs off to try and stop him. While all this is happening, we need two different sets of flashbacks, wherever they make sense: flashbacks of them growing up, to show how their relationship changes into what it is now. And snippets of a more recent one, with Mario telling him he’s moving to the Mushroom Kingdom, offering him a chance to come with; Luigi panicking because a) he’s still traumatized by what happened, and b) he’s scared of losing his brother again if he says no. Eventually Luigi makes it to the mansion, and it plays out like it did in the game. I trust Nintendo’s ability to make sure it stays as true to the game as it can be. It’s still about getting rid of the painting ghosts and all that, but keeps coming back to the insecurities. And if there's a way to add their Twin Sense to the story, preferably when Luigi finds something of Mario's, that would be AWESOME. Mario, on his side, is not just trapped in a painting. The painting itself is essentially a pocket dimension where he can see everything that’s going on, as one of King Boo’s cruel torture tactics, but no matter how loud he screams or yells, Luigi can’t see or hear him unless in the throne room, because that’s where the physical painting actually is. It's revealed the Boos had been observing Luigi for weeks to figure out the best way to mess with him, and while they usually just do what we’ve seen them do in the games, they tried something different because Luigi essentially did all the work for them, and enhanced his insecurities to lure him to the mansion to trap him there. And of course, when he faces King Boo, he gets hit where it really hurts: the fallout of all those flashbacks: every time Luigi got hurt or was picked on, and Mario stepped in. Or only Moving to the Mushroom Kingdom to make Mario happy. King Boo laughing at him and saying how he’s so weak he can’t even fight his own battles, no wonder Mario got taken so easily. Luigi starts to believe it, maybe even starts crying, I won’t object, but then he hears Mario banging on the painting, making him look up. Whatever Mario says here is meant to get Luigi to look back again, and we see a flashback montage. Sure, Mario stepped in at first, but when Luigi got older, he started doing the same. And even had Mario teach him to defend himself, despite the fact that it scared the shit out of Mario every time he fell or got hurt. The very last flashback is of when Mario finally made him talk about moving to the Mushroom Kingdom, and Luigi admitted how scared he was about the whole idea. And you guessed it, Mario gives a bona fide Good Big Brother speech that ends with another Bro Hug. And THAT is what gives Luigi the strength to get back up and kick King Boo’s ass straight back into the painting where he belongs. Keep the game’s ending in there, or the fans will riot, then give us a Proud Big Brother moment after they’re home safe. Then it ends with them hanging up more fliers all over the Mushroom Kingdom, but now we see there’s a new thing added to their services: Boo Hunting. Oh yeah. And to keep with the first movie's continuity: soundtrack only has music from or before the year the game came out. This would be November 2001, so use your imagination.

Kranky Kong was the original Donkey Kong, from the old arcade game where Mario is known as Jump Man. He was the one tossing barrels down at you. Modern Donkey Kong is his son.

At first I wasn’t happy how they changed Peach’s personality and role but they did it very well and she was one of my favorite characters in the end

Even upon finding out he's about to die, Luigi’s not freaking out cause he's STILL only thinking about Mario. All he knows is Mario was last seen traveling with the princess, Bowser considers the princess to be his “fiancee", and now Bowser is getting married. That soft “Mario” isn’t a plea for a rescue, it’s a plea for his brother to be okay.

11:01 he understands me🥹

The Luma (Little blue star guy) is the best character, he is that way because if you played Galaxy you would know they're entire purpose is to be fed starbits and once they are full, they shoot off into space and EXPLODE, creating a new planet. So they live to die and it's essentially a great honor. Also what he says is not wrong by any means, people just don't like truth cause it shits all over their beliefs lol.

I don’t know if it has a name but that depressed glowing star thing was the funniest thing in the whole movie😂

I haven't watched the full reaction yet but if there is no "AYO" when we see Peach in the motorcycle outfit, I'll be questioning if Seb has been cloned 🤔🤔

it’s always a good day when seb uploads

28:43 That was perfect timing when he said that I was laughing so hard bc he said it exactly like Yochi said it 😂😂😂😂

In a world with so many crazy items that can grant you all kinds of weird and sometimes cool effects and abilities, it makes sense imo that the star is the most coveted. Even though just about anything else's effects are permanent until you take damage, the strategic potential of using a star right when you need it to have complete invulnerability is incredible. Just have to not waste it on the wrong moment.

Funfact for you big brother, the guy you just mentioned in the diner who said the Mario brothers accent are perfect & as well their dad is voiced by Mario's original voice actor

this movie was actually so good i expected to think all the humor who be to childish for me but i actually loved every second of it

2:39 Yup! That's Charles Martinet, who did Mario's voice in the show and video games, including some commercials, since 1994! The animators definitely wanted to include a cameo to pay homage to him, which is why this guy (names Giuseppe) is dressed similarly to Mario's OG design and sounds like his most-popular video game voice as of yet. Martinet also voices the brothers' dad.

I never knew I needed Seb doing goofy voices until today

18:04 It's funny till you realize the Super Bell is actually an OP power up.

Their dad and Guiseppe the arcade guy was voiced by Charles Martinet, Mario's actual VA!

This movie has become one of my all time favorites, it's so good! Also, you have the most beautiful laugh, it's so genuine and nice to listen to 😊

I love how Toad in this movie is trying to be brave and probably trying to impress Peach, maybe Bowser is not the only one who has a crush on Peach

As a fan of Mario since childhood, I have to say this is my favourite movie based on a video game. Had many nostalgic moments and it reminded me of the days when I played my very first Super Mario and Mario Kart games on the Wii. Best animated film of 2023 so far.

LOVE THE CHANNEL LOVE THIS MANS VIBE Some movies I feel like you'd enjoy Grown ups 1&2 The Wolf of wall street Project X (must see) The comebacks Kickass 2 The good boys Land of the lost Get hard The night before Why him I know you'd really enjoy any of these

Beforehand, video game movies were mostly seen as critical and box office poisons at the time. But, the late 2010s/early 2020s gave us the holy trinity that's now changing people's minds, *Pikachu, Sonic and this.* This, very clearly, was the biggest hit out of all of them, and will likely get the ball rolling for video game movies to become the next cinematic juggernaut.

@28:42 kinda accurate with the “Yoshi” line

19:40 I had the same reaction too Seb

Actually, the mother is the only supportive one in the Mario Family (maybe the aunt, too. She did smack her husband on the head lol). She liked her sons' commercial and told them to not listen to the negative things about them.

The luma wanting to die makes sense, the whole purpose of a luma in the galaxy games is to die and create new galaxies

I was so pleasantly surprised by this movie.... me and my boys loved finding the Easter eggs all throughout. 💜

This is such a good movie!!!❤

Mario and Luigi are Italian-Americans; they are there canonically from Brooklyn, New York. Mario and Luigi are speaking in a Brooklyn accent, which is their actual accents. If you’ve watched the old Mario cartoons, he was speaking like a regular individual with a Brooklyn accent. Luigi is not speaking in an Italian accent, either. Anyway, if they go with the voices from the games, I feel like it’s not gonna fit; it would be kinda weird and annoying. The Brooklyn accent fits better for movies and cartoons. You know, Charles Martinet was going to voice Mario in a Brooklyn accent, but he wanted to make it more kid-friendly, so he voiced him in a high-pitched Italian accent. And, dude, we always pick Mario in Mariokart, what do you mean? I played as Mario in Mariokart; he’s not a joke at all, he’s an iconic character.

I really hope the continue this saga because I feel like they didn’t utilize enough of the characters

3:25 After the first attempt in 1993, which was box office poison, Nintendo was reluctant to license intellectual properties for film adaptations. The late Bob Hoskins, who starred as Mario, regretted that film. In 2016, Shigeru Miyamoto became interested in creating another film and collaborated with Chris Meledandri.

‘There’s no way children didn’t have an existential crisis whilst watching this in the front row of the cinema’ I’m sorry but this was too much for me 😭😂😂😂

Seb flexing his pecs will always get me 😂

3:06 that's the Gamecube startup music!

17:05 the best one so far....

Why is nobody freaking out about the fact that Luigi's ringtone at the start is the FREAKING GAMECUBE SOUND????

9:45 I got some good news

His reaction to the song killssssssss me😂😂😂😂

Nothing like Seb watching one of my favorite movies!

You are my fav youtuber you always make my day man! Keep it up! ❤

19:58 me and my friends *all* had that AYO moment in the theater

Not the dancing pecs 😂

Omg I was waiting for this reaction ahhhhh 😭😭😭 ty sebbbb

been waiting for this one!! love your reactions seb

Loved your reaction! The movie was awesome, I grew up on Mario, so I wasn’t disappointed. Very well done.

3:14 Nintendo's pretty strict on who they give/handle their properties

the best part was the remixed music of the games all over the movie and also the sign saying lvl 2 when they where in underground new york, obviously referring to lvl 2 beeing underground levels.

to do list check!! watching sebs before sleep 😌

I wonder if Seb ever regrets having a yt channel where he only watches movies since he always has to miss out on seeing them in theaters

The reason why they didn’t have the OG Mario voice actor be Mario’s voice in the film is because the guy’s really old and he can’t actually do the voice that much anymore. He can do small bits here and there, but for a full movie, he just can’t physically do it.

28:43 had me dying too seb 😂

Love your content Seb Keep up with this great content, and I've subbed to your channel 💯💯

Fun fact: Papa Mario (Mario and Luigi's dad) was voiced by Charles Martinet

I can already see they’re gonna go with Super Mario Galaxy for #2…they’ve made several references to how there’s a whole universe out there (the lumas, and so on), plus it’s an easy way to expand the story. I think we’ll see Rosalina in the sequel.

Been waiting on your reaction

I have never seen that end credit of ralph rick rollin us 😂😂 thank you for showing that

I've waited a while for this one.

I just saw it this evening and it was such a blast though...i love it. Can't wait to see the next one..we are talking about Yosh here bro. AWESOME 😂

Seb at 9:48 : Imagine a Lego Mario Lego Mario already existing before the movie even came out: You serious?

Over the top reaction as always seb 🔥

Cant miss a seb upload.

19:02 omg i feel you there, i’ve played mario kart since the DS, and with Mario Kart 8, whenever i had friends over to play, they literally take forever to pick their kart

27:56 mom was always supportive :( it was dad who wasn’t

6:25 HAHAHA Toad pulled a Rafiki on Mario! (IYK,YK)

22:31 this was the scene I hope seb would have not noticed

The song at the beginning is from the Super Show! And the actress was Peach's VA!

Just checked 1 of your old videos and turns out we have the same birthday🎉🎉

Cranky Kong is in the DK games. He's basically DK's grandfather. He's actually the "DK" that Mario goes up against in the original arcade game.

I just realized something... If Mario had to team up with DK to fight Bowser, that means that in a universe-bending reality, Emmet (Lego movies) had to team up with Mantis (Kung Fu Panda)/B.O.B. (Monsters vs. Aliens) to fight Po (Kung Fu Panda.) Pretty rad.

imma be honest this movie is so good and i your one of my favrouite channels

I know you’re curious about shy guy not revealing his face, there’s a scene in the movie when they show Bowser‘s minions, there’s a scene where the shy guy reveals to other characters like Cooper’s Goombas and I think for bombs, They are freaked out from what’s underneath the mask but again they don’t show it and I’ve seen that scene in the movie!!!

17:38 Whoop! There it is Seb

aw hell yes been waiting for this

This movie was so good I loved watching Seb get all the references. As a kid I would always go to my cousins house to play Mario kart because I don’t have a Wii or Xbox my favorite character was princess Rosalinda ❤

Who plays that: As of March 2023, the Switch version had sold 11.38 million units worldwide. Between both versions, a total of 17.27 million units have been sold worldwide.

Love your vids

17:04 i accidentally spit out the water i was just drinking...

Dude i love dks laugh I've heard it in so many movies

I would love to see a really well thought out, well casted, AND properly budgeted Legend of Zelda film!

Yup we’re def all thinking it

Yes I’ve been waiting for this

such a good film also i cant wait for your eventual reaction to sonic

My teens and I loved this movie!! ❤💚🩷

I love the way Seb says “Mario” 😅

3:02 mini ladd 100% picked mario

according to group x, famous for their hit "super mario twins", the pipe sound effect is "teku teku teku"

sebs reactions are the best

There seems to be an on-going gag about Mario NOT ever getting a fire flower the entire movie.
