A bunch of images have popped up online for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and we may have a look at another character.

Photos have been appearing on websites such as 4chan. It’s unclear what the original source is, but all signs point to the images being legitimate. Aside from showing off the main cast – including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, and Toad – we also have a look at another character. If you’re looking to maintain the surprise, keep that in mind before proceeding.

Nintendo just announced that it will host a new The Super Mario Bros. Movie Direct tomorrow, November 29. It will kick off at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET / 10 PM in the UK / 11 PM in Europe.

Thus far Nintendo has only said that The Super Mario Bros. Movie Direct will include the second trailer for the film. It’s unclear if anything else will be shown. Unsurprisingly, the broadcast will not feature any game information.

Super Mario Bros movie rating

The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been given a final rating by the Motion Picture Association. The film was recently added to the official database, and we now know that it will be rated PG.

Unlike ESRB classifications, which often go into detail about games, we don’t have too much information about The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The listing merely states that The Super Mario Bros. Movie is PG for action and mild violence.

Toad Mario Bros Movie music

Keegan-Michael Key has spoken briefly about his role as Toad in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and interestingly enough, it looks like he has a musical number in the film.

Key said in an interview with Variety that Toad will show off his singing chops. He further added that he even improvised a song.

The day many were waiting for finally arrived this week with the first trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Nintendo even decided to show off the teaser by broadcasting it in a special Nintendo Direct. The trailer was obviously the main point of the whole thing, but we did get to hear a few words from Shigeru Miyamoto, Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri, Chris Pratt (the voice of Mario), and Jack Black (the voice of Bowser).

Now that the dust has settled on the first trailer, what are thoughts on what was shown? How are you feeling about Mario’s look in the movie? Are you liking (or disliking) what you’ve heard from Chris Pratt and Jack Black? Let us know in the comments below.

More talk about the The Super Mario Bros. Movie has continued to pour out following the release of yesterday’s trailer, including a mix of both news and rumors.

One of the big talking points concerns Princess Peach. Although she wasn’t seen in yesterday’s trailer, we may have our first look in any case. An image surfaced on social media showing Mario, Toad, and Peach – and may believe it to be legitimate. Here’s a look:

Khary Payton is the voice of the penguin king in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the actor has confirmed.

Nintendo and Illumination shared the first trailer for the film earlier today. Towards the start of the video, we see Bowser wreck the penguin kingdom and taking the Super Star. And during that scene, we briefly get to hear the king penguin speak, and it turns out that Payton is behind the character.

SEGA Sammy senior executive officer Toru Nakahara, who has also acted as a producer on the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, has provided some insight into the backstory and why the company decided to pursue films for the franchise.

In an interview with Pia, Nakahara said that even though Sonic has been a popular video game character in Japan, due to many factors including SEGA withdrawing from hardware department after the Dreamcast, there were times when Sonic was unable to flourish.
