Ok so for those who haven't played Mario Galaxy, the Lumas (blue star nihilist) actually CRAVE death because when Lumas grown up they literally super nova into making new stars, galaxies and planets. Then more Lumas are made form that explosion, it's basically a cycle of death with those things in the cutest way possible.
12:50 Well, not just full of it, those Toads are actually using the actual line from the original games. Everytime you rescued or met up with Toad, they would tell Mario that their princess was in another castle. 29:15 The whole Kart scene was so awesome to see in the movie. So many friendships tested, ruined, and absolutely demolished in those games. XD
When Princess Peach mentions that there's a whole universe out there with plenty of galaxies, that was definitely a Super Mario Galaxy reference. Asides from the fact that Bowser actually has a Luma imprisoned in his fortress, 22:18 there is another reference hinting possibly at the appearance of another popular Mario character if they decided to animate, write or produce a sequel to this film. In the ending, a short theme from Gusty Garden Galaxy is played during the credits roll. That song is one of Nintendo's most popular fan favorites of the game and is unofficially seen as the anthem of Nintendo. I played hours upon hours of Super Mario Galaxy back when it came out. So fingers crossed that Rosalina gets a chance to make an appearance on the big screen.
I feel like they used those details to both set the stage for something potentially more grand with future movies, without being so blatant as to commit themselves to it in case those plans don't work out. That way if they do reach that point, then there will be signs pointing to it all the way back in the first film. Whereas if they don't, then those details will be little more than fun nods to the fans without any real significance. Either way, nothing will really be lost by those inclusions, because their meaning down the line will depend entirely on how the series goes from here. All thanks to being subtle, rather than shoving it in the viewers' faces as something important.
I adore everything with this film the references to other Nintendo franchises, the music, designs of the characters and how they look ripped out from the games, the story although it's pretty simple considering this is the first Mario Movie in pike 30 years when that one was recieved awfully it was for the better to play it safe and simple. Have tiny problems with it but they're so tiny then it doesn't change my reception on the film
The Mario movie was awesome‼️ I saw it two times in theaters!! 10 out of 10! This was definitely one of the best animated films of the year along with Spider-Verse!!
The "racoon" Mario is the tanooki suit which was added in Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES in 1990. The cat suit is a much newer addition from Super Mario 3D world released for Wii U in 2013.
I agree with the summary given at the beginning. This movie is perfectly enjoyable no matter your Mario knowledge. But the more of that knowledge you have, the more you'll understand why certain scenes and lines are the way they are, or the more small details you'll notice in the background. So while you don't have to know about Mario to enjoy this film as a movie, it does help for enjoying it as a Mario product. Guessing that the tanooki suit was a fox wasn't a horrible guess. Because in later Mario games, they actually made it so that while everybody else wears the traditional tanooki suit, if Luigi gets that power-up, he wears a fox suit instead.

So I'm not sure if you guys noticed, but since you kept mentioning Smash I thought I'd let you know... When Mario fights Donkey Kong, that is literally a smash stage they're fighting on. 🤣🤣👍
It's pretty funny hearing you keep saying that the Tanooki Suit (Raccoon powerup) was from newer games because it originally showed up in Super Mario Bros 3 which released in Japan in 1988, the US in 1990, and Europe in 1991.
I love this movie but my nephew loves it more then I do he always wants to watch it with me and we saw it theaters and he became a fan because of the movie and the times he played mario kart with me and his big sister.
10:54 its the world from Luigi's Mansion.... 12:48 that's what all the toads said in the original game every time you cleared a level. 15:18 yeah... a game called Super Mario Maker... 20:50 nah bro, its 2023, the whaman has to get the fire and be better and "stronger" and cooler and blah blah, let them, its ok... 22:14 a Luma from Super Mario Galaxy ... they turn into supernovas. 27:06 theyre leaving Mario fire flower power up for the second movie, we'll probably also see Daisy, Wario, obviously Yoshi, Giant Mario, the metal power up, the Mansion, etc so much left 42:24 theres your Godzilla vs Kong reference
Look nothing wrong with Mario not getting the Fire Flower. Honestly the variety of powerups used was pretty nice. Also I doubt all of that will be used in the sequel. Some, maybe, but not gonna shove everything into one fustercluck of a movie. Honestly Wario seems like a shoe-in at some point. Wouldn't even be that hard. Dude hears about the Mushroom Kingdom he's gonna have dollar signs in his eyes.
4:52 Technically, your reaction was cut off. But did you recognize Charles Martinet, the original VA for Mario? I'm so glad he was included in this film. Also, he plays another character too. He's Mario and Luigi's dad as well.
It was a nostalgia overload, and that's why I feel like the movie was extremely underwhelming. I wish they would have focused on a world or two in this and built Bowser up as a real big threat and planned on a trilogy or something. We love Mario but this just didn't do it for my wife, son and I. The music choices throughout this movie were so cliche and had me rolling my eyes tbh.
Underwhelming? This film was amazing. You're just being too picky about what the film should have and what should not have. Nintendo and Illumination spent 7 years making this film, and it shows that they put a lot of care into it. If you think it's underwhelming, then you do you.
That Luma was probably so fatalistic because it couldn't serve his purpose, which is to become something else. Some luma transform and combine to form planets, comets, stars, galaxies even entire universes depending on how many of them combine. I think some Luma can even become power stars. So it's kinda like a Mr. Meeseeks situation
Wow you explained my life's depression in video game... Love it hahaha now I feel the Luma even better, felt really connected to it with that dark humour, figures hahahaha xD
Really liked the movie. It had a sense of love and celebration of this huge franchise while making it super fun. It was a simple love letter to all Mario fans.
12:52 that's a reference to the original Super Mario Bros. game. At the end of every level, except for the very last one, you rescue a Toad who declares that the Princess is in another castle.
The racoon suit is called the Tanooki Suit & it showed up in Super Mario Bros. 3 The version Mario had, not only could you fly in it, but you could also turn into a statue for a little while.
I was sceptical when i learned that Illumination was the studio that was gonna make this one but i ended up liking it more that i expect. I really love the relationship between Mario and Luigi and Jack Black as Bowser works wonderful!
The movie was good and had great nostalgia. Honestly lets just leave it at that. I don't feel the need to milk every success in sequels and spinoffs. Despite what Charlie Day and Seth Rogen want, I think Nintendo would just make a game as a un-official sequel or spinoff (Nintendo owns the rights to the film, so it's their decision). The movie already had so many references, even missed ones.
The species is known as Yoshisaur Munchikoopa. Our Yoshi(the green) is actually named after his species. So his full name is Yoshi Yoshisaur Munchikoopa. So our Yoshi was in that egg that was a wedding gift. And now he's in the sewers of New York
I really liked your reaction to the movie, and I even liked more that you saw Yoshi's post-credit scene since many movie reactors didn’t realize there was one.
The concept of a family with a Nintendo that only belonged to ONE of the brothers is completely alien to me. Consoles were communal property here as a kid.
The little blue glowie drop thing in the prison stole the show for me. Loved it every time it spoke. And you totally missed the last bit it did at the very end of the credits. I had no idea what it was so I had to look it up.
My first video game was Super Mario World. I didn’t get to finish it back then, but I got to play it again on the Switch. Same for Donkey Kong Country.
The toonike suit you said was from the newer ones, is actually from the 3rd game , on the NES. It was the one that let you turn into a statue! :D The music that played when he had it on was also from that game
This has been a great year for video game adaptations so far, first HBO’s The Last of Us and now Mario. Can’t wait to see Five Night at Freddie’s later this year!
mario kart and mario party then super smash bros are the main 3 that are fantastic for the switch its worth it forsure if you like those type of games.
Which they probably did on purpose, so that in the next film they can establish the green one as something significant. Like, maybe green Yoshis are extraordinarily rare, so that the green one can be distinguished as the main one.
It's funny that you mentioned King Kong. Nintendo was sued by Universal Studios in 1982 for infringing their IP King Kong - they said Donkey Kong was a ripoff of King Kong. Now they are making movies and theme parks together.
Y’all are a joy to watch I’m so happy you’ve found success in this industry! I would definitely watch content on you folks catching up on some Mario games
I would implore you both to watch an Easter egg breakdown of this film. There's a lot of callbacks to games over the years I think you missed. Nice reaction.
I liked the nod to Doki Doki Panic. in Peach's flashback doing the course, when she grabs the flag pole she's wearing the Arabian outfit (that toad still wears)
the story is basically the story of mario odyssey so imo i loved that they went that route it saves the 2nd movie for the actual mario bros story of rescuing peach if they do that.
@@xsvenny2495 I hope they don’t do that because I am sick to death of the damsel in distress trope, plus they have already established that this Peach is a badass
@@thedarkknight2221 i feel you on that, it is the og story of super mario bros though and yeah this peach is more of a badass than the actual characters but with yoshi coming into the mix next time they will probably tweak the story to make sense of why yoshi will be crutch for mario in the movie i would assume but who knows as long as its as good as this one then im game.
