Video: Super Mario Bros. Movie "Mushroom Kingdom" Official Reveal

I love how the antique shop logo has that 8-bit look to it. Also, clear pipes in Mario are truly one of the best decisions Nintendo has ever made.

I like how most the the soundtrack for this game will be remixes of official Mario music. Also, did anyone also notice the Cheep Cheep giving Mario the dagger yes?

Go my fellow Toad brethen! Show Mario the ropes!

I love how they made the world, they were able somehow mix the gaming elements into the core world, and, it actually doesn’t look messy, I love it!

My excitement is through the roof omg. Y'all hate Chris's voice just to be like everyone else and negative, I swear. He sounds good imo

Holy MOLY if the music is like that the ENTIRE MOVIE it's going to be insane.

NEED that soundtrack ASAP

Chris Pratt sounds good as Mario.

"You just have to blow into it" put a smile on me.

There's so many little pose references in here. When they go up the first lift he does the Mario 3D World run, and in the second lil clip they showed at TGA Mario literally did his Smash Forward Aerial. Neat!

Is it just me or did Chris Pratt sound a bit better?

Dear Lord his voice. Ahahaha it’s uh me. Badda bing!

I love it. The city below the castle is so lively and vibrant. It's imaginative, while at the same time staying true to so many of the world building gameplay elements featured in the video games.

Mario's voice remains very lowkey - probably to a fault for most of the fan base - but I think it works, particularly for an original type of story. I can't imagine Mario running a Brooklyn Plumbing business while sounding like a flamboyant, high pitched Italian stereotype - but maybe that's just me.

The music was also fun and pretty clever! As a lifelong musician, it's really fun to hone in on the elements of composition, and I can tell that this film's score is going to have an incredible amount depth! It was a joy to hear a subtly orchestrated remix of the original Super Mario Bros level 1-1 weaving into the theme from Mario 64's 'Bob-omb Battlefield'. They way they did it was awesome and definitely clever af. If I were to nitpick, I might have knocked it for being a little busy with its instrumentation - but, seeing as how a huge, bustling city was the backdrop for this particular scene, I'm sure that the busy-ness was intended. It's definitely really fun either way!

Illumination has clearly put so much effort into capturing the Mario-feel - the little details of this are everywhere. It's basically the polar opposite of the 1993 live action movie. I can't wait to see more!

I’m still just so relieved that this movie actually looks good. The world is perfect and the animation and modeling are beautiful. The tone is as good as can be expected in modern animation. I’m really looking forward to it, and that’s a much better place to be than where I was a few months back, when we hadn’t seen anything about this movie and my darkest fears for it were still possible.

the music feels like a bunch of slapped together leitmotifs without any real direction or purpose, hardly even a medley

The recent footage demonstrates that Miyamoto knows his fandom and made his best to produce a great super mario movie. I can feel my inner child screaming of joy.

Love the movie so far, but I worry at this point they're going to show way too much before the movie even comes to theaters!

Could just decide to not watch any of it but you know you're gonna be drenched in gifs and screenshots and whatnot of it anyway around social media.

I've been avoiding all footage but fell into it at the game awards. I'll easily be passing on this awful movie. I hope it makes kids happy and wanting to play Nintendo, but the cringe is real and the Mario VA isn't even trying.

This looks brilliant! So looking forward to seeing at the Cinema

40+ year old gamer hare. Grew up at age 10 with first Super Mario Bros NES... giddy for this! Can't wait this looks like a genuine love letter to all Mario games from 1986 up to Mario Kart... Can't wait to take my wife and kids, will see this in IMax 3D!

Wish you all could have experienced mid 1986 first NES purchase, Super Mario Bros at NES launch... me and my kid friends played the hell out of Mario 1 thru 3 as a kid. This movie looks like a blast and brings me back as a kid. I'm 46 now, and this trailer is dumping charm everywhere.

I just want to see Kongs in action

@WeLiveInASociety Maybe, but I think a lot of it has to do with people altering their perception of what kind of Mario they were expecting. Before, they expected a Mario they've known for decades (including from the Super Show), but as they come to terms that this is not that same Mario that's well known in the Mushroom Kingdom, they started to become a bit more open-minded, and find that Chris's Mario isn't all that bad.

Chris sounded pretty decent in this clip.

@nessisonett,

Would Charles have been a better choice though, I recently watched footage of him at an event, reading a story in Mario's stereotypical high pitched faux Italian accent, and was so glad they did not ask him to do the movie.

Pratt is a far better choice, not just for the star power it brings to the franchise, but for an overall toned down feel it brings to proceedings.

Don't get me wrong, love Charles for the videogames, but there is a world of difference between listening to very short bursts of dialogue when your mind is engaged in playing a game, and watching a 90 minute or so movie. I honestly think we dodged a bullet when they decided not to go with Charles.

Also it's still very early to judge, as we have not really seen all that much so far, just like the initial teaser trailer, Pratt utters one line of dialogue and is instantly condemned, then you get the old oh the Italian and French Mario's sound better etc etc.......

This movie looks soooo amazing! Man havent been this excited for a "game" movie in a long time.
This movie sums up my youth lol.

@johnvboy
Indeed i would be kinda anoined if mario spoke like that for 90 minutes long lol.
I have to say, when seeing the last trailer and hearing pratt doing the yahoo, we eee etc. And the normal voice (wich sounds exactly like the cartoons back in the days) i am over the whole fuzz lol. This movie looks truly amazing.

You ever watch a clip and didn't want it to end? That. This is an absolute must see for me.

After this movie, and the establishment of Nintendo Pictures, I hope Miyamoto considers exploring a more cinematic approach for some of his games.

Looks fantastic. Pretty sure we're gonna love the score as well

@IceClimbersMain Until now I wasn't quite sure if Tyler was the best choice for this. Until now, until this clip. 😅

@The-Chosen-one,

Seems like a lot of people even on here are coming round to Pratt voicing Mario.

As much a I like a good movie I’m a gamer first.
Any chance of a new Mario platform game.

Looks great to me. And his voice was much better in the clip. I wonder if he sounds more squeaky the longer he spends in the mushroom Kingdom

A new mario game to tie in with the film later in 2023 too?

Looks great. Sound great.

"so these bricks are just floating here?" after casually using a floating moving platform one second earlier

@Nikhogan Oh god, another “ya’ll” comment. People dislike the voice because it’s clearly low-effort. Don’t let your hype get in the way of acknowledging other people’s viewpoints. You don’t have to agree, but at least have some common decency towards people who have another opinion.

While it has cool imagery, it's very much like a theme park.
Mario voice gets worse the more I hear of it, hopefully the localization is well done.

@johnvboy Imagine something crazy like acting range and direction.
While I enjoy Pratt in Guardians of the Galaxy and Parcs & Rec, his voiceover performances in Lego Movie and Onward, shows that he doesn't have much range. Bankable name though.

Officially hyped for this movie.

Man, this is like my 1990 dream come true! I am so excited to see that this sticks to the look of the source material! I’ll be seeing this opening weekend with my daughter!

I didn't like this one in comparsion last 2 trailers we had this is very underwhelming one and the chris mario voice not gonna change my opinion still sounds god awful.

They should definitely gone with someone a little less well known or someone who would put on a voice for Mario. It looks like a Super Mario movie but sounds like a Super Pratt movie. He'll sound the same for Garfield. I will wait for the inevitable fan dub and hope they don't go in too hard on the accent from the games as that would be worse than what we are getting.

The movie is so visually pleasing to look at! I'm just completely engrossed by this world that the voice acting became an afterthought. After rewatch, it's still ok but I don't think it will matter in the grand scheme of things.

@johnvboy Both would be rubbish. Get someone who delivers their lines without it sounding phoned in. Bill Murray as Garfield sounds more enthusiastic.

Excellent in all aspects. Haters gonna hate, as they're expected to do, but this movie is clearly getting more hate than it deserves considering it hasn't even been released yet.

@SonOfDracula sir you are looking way too into what i meant lmao

@Nikhogan Don't blame me for your own misfortune.

Maybe I'm speaking too soon but it sounds like most of the soundtrack will be remixes and whatnot of the games' official music, love it. And all those easter eggs spotted in the clip fills me with joy.

@nessisonett,

All this from a few sentences of dialogue, you must be a very good judge from such a small portion of his part, who else would you suggest.

@ketrac,

You play the part presented to you, not sure how much scope he is given, and once again no suggestion of an alternative, plus a very small section to be judging things from.

@Nikhogan They're complaining like Mario has had thousands of lines of dialogue or something. The voice of Mario is about as fleshed out as the voice of Link. Chris Pratt sounds like an acceptable Mario to me. Mario doesn't need to be waa-hooing all over everything.

@johnvboy Liberace.

@nessisonett,

You know, you might to be onto something, I will fax him right away.

@johnvboy Considering the french Mario sounds way better, there’s obviously something wrong when a dub is better than the original.

You’re shilling really hard for this. It’s fine if you enjoy it, but I don’t, and have argued for other options on direction and content for this movie.

It looks like a toy commercial with no artistic justification, as creative as New Super Mario Bros, the most boring and bland Mario games.

@johnvboy Woah, can’t believe you got hold of a Ouija Fax Machine.

@nessisonett,

Well I am quite psychedelic you know.

Perhaps they could use Michael Douglas.

@ketrac,

All opinions my friend, but each to their own, I just want to see more of this before passing any final judgements, good or bad.

Peach’s castle looking all regal sitting there, the world looks vibrant and lively, toads all running about merrily, now if only we had a game that looked this magnificent!

problem I have with this movie is Mario is always acting astonished and oohh and ahh and gasping like he is just some plucked parent from the audience thrown into the movie and not an actual seasoned video game character

THATS SO COOL

(the only thing is they changed Mario from Italian to someone from New York just saying)

That was a nice snipet. Liking this more and more.

@ChakraStomps It's an Origin story so yeah,he's going to be *wow*ed by everything

Chris Pratt sounds like Linda Belcher.. does not sound good at all

@ChakraStomps
It's an origin story. He's never seen the mushroom kingdom before.
Also, unrelated, the soundtrack SLAPS
