Nintendo brought Mario to the big screen back in 1993 with Super Mario Bros. This film starred Bob Hoskins as the titular Mario and John Leguizamo as Luigi. The film did not do too well. It became the go-to reference for a bad adaptation of video games to live-action films.
Fans hoped for a new adaptation for decades, but Nintendo was hesitant to pull the trigger. They finally teamed up with the animation studio Illumination Entertainment who brought us such films as Despicable Me, Minions, and the latest version of The Grinch. The company packed this new film full of Super Mario Easter Eggs and references. What did you end up missing?

This Super Mario Bros. Movie article contains spoilers.
When the cast for Illumination and Universal Pictures’ The Super Mario Bros. Movie was first announced in 2021, there was only one thing anyone could talk about: actor Chris Pratt replacing beloved veteran Charles Martinet as the voice of the Italian plumber. Martinet, a voice acting legend who has played the character in one form or another since 1991, would have to step aside for one of the biggest stars of the moment, a Marvel Cinematic Universe favorite no less. But also a performer with very little actual voice acting experience, certainly much less than his predecessor.
It hardly seemed fair when Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto introduced the movie’s cast in the infamous Nintendo Direct of Sept. 2021. To fans who grew up with the character on Nintendo consoles, Martinet’s oft-quoted and imitated voice acting had become as pivotal to Super Mario as his blue overalls.

The conceit of "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" is that Mario (Chris Pratt) and Luigi (Charlie Day) are humans from Earth who, thanks to a rogue pipe, are sucked into the alternate dimension of the Mushroom Kingdom. Said realm is populated by curious mushroom-shaped people, talking apes, sentient penguins, and an evil fire-breathing Koopa who seeks a wife. There also appears to be another human living there in the form of Princess Peach, the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, although it's implied that she may be from a tertiary dimension altogether.
The Mario Bros. don't just come from Earth, but from Brooklyn specifically, and are of Italian descent. That means their local neighborhood is replete with recognizable Earth items. Although, seeing as "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" is based on a Nintendo game from the 1980s, all the Mario Bros.' Earth ephemera are based directly on 1980s Nintendo games.

Musicians pivoting to product is a tale as old as time: Rick Ross has a beard and hair care line that’s pretty amazing; Justin Bieber has a deodorant; Ariana Grande got a Starbucks drink; and Kanye West, by his estimation, made Yeezy (his sneaker and fashion line) jump over the Jumpman (Michael Jordan’s aptly titled sneakers, Jordans). Now Erykah Badu is looking to diversify her portfolio with Badu World Market, a new online store opening on February 20th. As part of the launch, Badu is releasing an incense called “Badu’s Pussy,...

Whether top gaming brands attend this week's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) or not, the entire industry's been busy driving fan interest in the latest releases for 2019. For many, the best place to do that is through social video -- something no brand seems to understand more than Epic Games' Fortnite.
Data from video measurement company Tubular Labs shows that the popular online title was the most-viewed gaming brand across social video platforms with nearly 103 million views of video content in May across uploads to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram. Fornite's own videos around its typical announcements - like the start of season 9 and the Fortnite World Cup - have raked in millions of views. However, it's the crossover partnerships with non-endemic brands like Marvel's Avengers, Jumpman, and John Wick that have had some of the most success.

Super Mario is one of the most storied video game franchises in history. In fact, when it comes to recognition Super Mario is sitting at the table amongst legends like Pac-Man and Lara Croft. It’s been over 35 years since Mario first appeared as a supporting character called “Jumpman” in the 1981 arcade game “Donkey Kong.” Super Mario became an instant celebrity from that point forward. And even though the franchise has spanned several generations it shows no signs of fading into the sands of time. With the release of Mario Odyssey, we are preparing to embark on a new

Like a more medically plausible version of Wade Wilson from Deadpool, the teenage antihero in Jumpman suffers from a rare genetic condition that makes him insensitive to pain. This makes him not only potentially dangerous but also eminently exploitable, as youthful Russian auteur Ivan I. Tverdovskiy suggests by using congenital analgesia as a metaphor for his homeland's current sickness under Vladimir Putin's crooked cronyism regime. Inspired by real events, this noirish thriller grew out of a marathon ongoing documentary project that Tverdovskiy is making about the Russian police.
