Here's what we know about The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the upcoming animated movie based on the beloved Nintendo video game characters.
We might be living during a golden age for great video game adaptations. Following the surprise success of Sonic the Hedgehog and its sequel, and with the critically acclaimed The Last of Us about to wrap its first season and a second one on the way, this seems to be the perfect time to adapt a beloved video game property. Fortunately, Illumination Entertainment has us covered with the upcoming The Super Mario Bros.
Interestingly, The Super Mario Bros. Movie won’t premiere in Japan until April 28, available in both 2D and 3D. Previously, the movie had been scheduled for release on December 22 but was delayed to its current date, with the incredible Puss in Boots: The Last Wish taking over its previous slot. The Super Mario Bros. Movie’s plot The plot for The Super Mario Bros. Movie remains something of a mystery. The film’s official site doesn’t have many details either, describing it only as “a new animated film based on the world of Super Mario Bros.” However, enough material has been released, and considering the nature of the franchise, we can make an informed guess.
Most excitingly, The Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer includes multiple Easter eggs, including a Mario Kart-like sequence showing the characters racing down what seems to be Rainbow Road, one of the game’s most beloved tracks. Brief glimpses of Mario in his cat skin and Peach wielding a fireball are also shown, and numerous beloved characters from the franchise have cameos, including a few Cheep Cheeps, koopas, bob-ombs, and a pack of Yoshis.

Will there be a sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie? Speaking with Fast Company in April 2021, Nintendo’s global president, Shuntaro Furukawa, expressed interest in adapting other Nintendo properties into animation if The Super Mario Bros. Movie succeeded at the box office. While his comments mainly focused on other Nintendo properties, it stands to reason that, should the Mario movie succeed commercially, a direct sequel would be a no-brainer.
