A new promo for 'Super Mario Bros.' puts Donkey Kong in the driver's seat.
With each new day means gamers are getting closer and closer to The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The animated video game adaptation based on the iconic Nintendo franchise from Universal and Illumination is racing into theaters in early April. Because of that, the marketing for the film has been shifting into high gear with various promos highlighting each character in the Mushroom Kingdom. Now in the latest teaser, Seth Rogen’s Donkey Kong takes center stage.
It’s On Like Donkey Kong! In the short clip Donkey Kong’s living his best life in a Mario Kart inspired vehicle driving at high speeds. Donkey Kong’s not the most focused driver in the world as he’s seen shaking his booty on the hood of his kart while flexing for good measure. The kart he’s in is not based on any one vehicle from Mario Kart, but rather an amalgamation of Kong’s rich 40 plus year history.

Barrels have become synonymous with the character as they date back to his first ever appearance in Nintendo’s arcade classic Donkey Kong in 1981. Kong was the villain of that game with the character throwing barrels down at Jump Man who would soon be renamed Mario before his own game in 1985.
When Does The Super Mario Bros. Movie Release? The Super Mario Bros. Movie releases exclusively in theaters on April 5, 2023. While Mario fans anxiously countdown the days, you can view the new Donkey Kong teaser down below.
