Mario

Dr Mario Shigeru Miyamoto

In the words of Shigeru Miyamoto, Dr. Mario is a character that shouldn’t be trusted.

IGN recently spoke with the Mario creator as part of an interview for The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Miyamoto talked about how the film brought out a new side of the character as an everyman hero. However, when it comes to Dr. Mario, he’s a character shrouded in shadiness.

Mario mobile

After previous resistance when it came to putting content on mobile, several years ago, Nintendo started to branch out and toy around with different apps you can experience on a smart device. Mario even got in on the action with Super Mario Run, which is available on iOS and Android. However, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto has indicated that mobile won’t be Mario’s home in the future.

Miyamoto told Variety in an interview: “Mobile apps will not be the primary path of future Mario games.”

Mario movie Charles Martinet

A bit of new information has surfaced that seemingly reveals Charles Marinet’s role in The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

At this point, there aren’t too many surprises left when it comes to casting. We know about Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong. But we’ve yet to hear about Marinet, who has voiced Mario in the actual games for decades at this point. It’s only been teased that he’ll have “cameos” in the film.

Mario movie post credits scene

When The Super Mario Bros. Movie releases next week, viewers can look forward to a post-credits scene. Chris Pratt, the actor who voices Mario in the movie, confirmed as such in an interview with CBR.

Post-credits scenes are all the rage these days, and sometimes tease what could come next. It turns out that The Super Mario Bros. Movie will follow that tradition. Pratt indicated that the scene “gives you a taste of what the sequel could be about.”

Keegan-Michael Key Mario movie Toad

Toad is one of the key characters in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and Keegan-Michael Key – who plays the character – has now discussed how he found the voice for the role.

In a Fandango interview, Key talked about how he was looking to “almost pretend like I was sucking on a helium balloon while I was doing the recording.” Here’s what he shared:

Mario movie final trailer

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is fast approaching, and the final trailer has now come in. This video just debuted in a Nintendo Direct a few moments ago.

We again get to see the main premise of Mario going on adventure to save his brother, Luigi. Lots of action is included, and we even get to see Donkey Kong powering up with a Fire Flower.

Here’s the final trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie:

The Super Mario Bros. Movie Direct live stream March 2023

With the third Direct for The Super Mario Bros. Movie kicking off in just a bit, we have the live stream ready to go. It’ll begin at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET / 10 PM in the UK / 11 PM in Europe.

Thus far Nintendo has only said that the presentation will only highlight the film’s final trailer. It goes without saying, but there won’t be any game information here.

Super Mario Bros Movie April 5

The Super Mario Bros. Movie will debut a little earlier than expected, as the film is now set to premiere on April 5, 2023. It was most recently on track for April 7. That’s not a huge change, but fans will be happy to hear that they’ll be able to see the movie a couple of days earlier.

Note that this change applies to the United States “and in more than 60 markets around the world.” Other marks will see the film in April and May. For Japan specifically, the movie is opening on April 28.

Mario popularity

When you think about games and the most popular characters in the medium, Mario has to be there as one of the top choices. He’s been around for decades, in multiple titles and genres – and now he’s even getting his own animated movie.

So what’s been behind Mario’s long-term popularity? Shigeru Miyamoto, the character’s creator, recently shared some thoughts.
