Steve Mayles said Dixie had tried to break out as a singer, but her first single just didn't work out, so I made her a musical album cover.

I really like Suzi Quatro and Lita Ford (cover ref), but the song selections are inside jokes (Krunch's vest because i can).

ESPAÑOL Steve Mayles dijo que Dixie había intentado lanzarse como cantante, pero su primer sencillo simplemente no funcionó, así que le hago una portada de disco musical Me gusta mucho Suzi Quatro y Lita Ford (ref de la portada), pero las selecciones de canciones son bromas internas (el chaleco de Krunch porque puedo).

What is this book even talking about? Mario never offered to help Peach save the Mushroom Kingdom in the film. If anything he practically demanded that she help him find Luigi.

"Make fun of me all you want, but you are going to help me find my brother...please."

He added the last part, 'please,' when he saw her reaction and probably realized he should be more respectful to someone he was asking for help. Lol.

Mario only wanted to accompany Peach because she was going to try and stop Bowser who he was told is evil and likely already captured Luigi.

Mario's priority throughout the entire film was finding and rescuing Luigi. His brother was his number one motivator in everything and what kept him going and what made him fight Donkey Kong in the ring.

Don't get me wrong. Mario is nice and cares about others and he did help save the MK. He's not going to let people just be hurt, ofc, but again, his priority and thoughts were always towards Luigi from the start.

Anyways, just me reading a book geared towards very young audiences and being like 'actually no.' Lol

Donkey Kong = Donkey Kong III

Is it weird that this movie made me like Luigi more than I already did? I've always liked him, but now he's been promoted from "oh I think he's adorable" to actual fictional crush 🥰🥰

No not at all 😊

This movie made me appreciate Donkey Kong all the more, considering I didn't have as much of an attachment to the character prior.

So, I went to see the Super Mario movie saturday afternoon and I must say, I had an absolute blast. Don't get me wrong, it was far from perfect. And I'll have to agree that it could have used ten or fifteen more minutes to pace things a little more organically. But really, I had a smile on my face the entire time. As a Bowser fan, the film was an especially exhilarating treat. From enjoying himself at a heavy metal concert, to bashfully trying to woo the princess, writing her an exquisitely awkward love song and rehearsing his proposal with Kamek, to ruthlessly tearing into the hero after they saved the day ruined everything he worked so hard towards, he walked such an astounding line between adorable and intense (also, I'd like to add that he was really, really sexy :3 ). Not that the other characters weren't delightful too, of course. I must admit, I'm actually quite surprised that they chose to address Peach's origins. I mean, even back when the brothers being from Brooklyn was a staple of the series, the incongruity of a (seemingly) human princess leading a nation of mushroom people never really came into question. If a sequel there is, I'd definitely like for that point to be explored a little more... Also, I'm particularly fond of the way the Kongs were integrated into the story. To tell you the truth, I've never really cared for the DK side of the franchise all that much. But really, the visit to the Jungle Kingdom was quite a riot, both in terms of action and worldbuilding. And let’s not forget the sheer insanity of the Koopa General... Really though, that movie was just, so much fun. Bright, colorful, light-hearted, unadulterated fun. Which is not to say that it was without emotions. The brothers' feeling of inadequacy, both expressed in different ways, their tearful reunion, the need to prove themselves to the world and to each other... Truly, fraternal affection is the crux of the film. In fact, family as a whole is an omnipresent theme throughout the story, from Peach's devotion to the Toads, to DK's own issues with his dad. And I'm not even talking about the love that was poured into all the little details. It's already been said a thousand times, but there are so many Easter eggs* hidden in the film, be it in the picture or the score. I've seen the movie being described as a "love letter" to the franchise and its fans, and really, I feel like there is no better way to put it. In a sense, I'd say it's like a puzzle : watching all the different little pieces fall neatly into place is also part of the fun. Sure, it wasn't The Last Wish, but then again, it didn't need to be. In its case - and I insist on the word "case"** -, the world is the plot. And the film executes it spectacularly. Anyway, this accolade is probably long enough (unlike the movie, which could afford to be much longer, if only because what we got was so good already :p ). Still, let me emphasize one last time what a joy it was to see the Mushroom World come alive this way, in such a luminous and bustling manner. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if instead of a sequel, we were to get a whole-ass show, in the vein of the first three cartoons. A mix of slice-of-life and adventure to explore this beautiful version of the Mario universe and everything it has to offer. I think it would be great. With that being said, thank you for listening to my divagations on the matter. As always, it was nice to get those thoughts out of my system. I mean, it was such a wholesome movie ; I needed to share my giddy excitement with the universe. ^_^

* Quite fitting for the season, now that I think about it. Although the film is so rich in references, that I'd almost be tempted to refer to them as "Fabergé eggs". XD ** I know better than anyone how good at storytelling the franchise can be - as recently demonstrated by Sparks of Hope -, so don't take this statement as a generalization it isn't meant to be.

I watched the Mario movie and it was fun! But it was really funny when the Mario dad was disappointed in his kids??? For being red seal plumbers??? An honorable unionized trade ?!??

There's not even a line where we know the dad's job? For all we know he's a full time eating pasta man fjssjffjsffjsjfa why are we worried about his approval he got laid off from blockbuster 20 years ago

Happy Birthday to Mario! Thank for your many years of fun games and being a legendary video game icon!

[hbmmaster]

one thing that's so wild about the "jumpman isn't mario" fan theory is that the central two games used as "evidence", donkey kong country and yoshi's island ds, are just. neither of these games were made by nintendo? these are games in two different media franchises made by different people in different development studios in different continents. why would a contradiction between these two games imply Anything about mario
