DOKI DOKI DOKI DOOOOOOO ITTTT BISHI BASHI BISHI BASHI ROCK AND ROOLLLLLLLL Mario gets cockblocked by a dog, and Luigi is a greedy whore. This is an astute implementation of great writing, as we have characters that live in a moral gray area, as despite their good actions, Mario is motivated by lust whereas Luigi is motivated by greed. This allows for interesting character study and as such is genius. There are 80s travelling montages throughout the movie, which is an excellent way to adapt the traditional side-scrolling Mario gameplay to cinema. Bowser doesn't seem like that bad of a guy and just wants to marry peach,once again blurring the lines between moral and amoral in the character writing. Genius once again. It's just full of Mario anime cheese and i love it. Also every toad is Toadette for some reason and Mario becomes brothers with a bird, further pushing the boundaries of the Mario universe beyond the games. Luigi sounds like Escargoon in the Kirby anime, which is fitting as both characters are driven by greed. Mario and Luigi find three mystical items in their quest, which could parallel the Triforce from the Zelda series, another Nintendo classic. Where is my sequel? 10/10
Infinitely better than the American Mario movie. At least this one has an actual bowser. If by some chance you watch this and don't enjoy it, you don't know jack.
