The Super Mario Bros. Movie perfectly captures the look of a Mario game, but its tone doesn't quite line up.
It’s already safe to say that The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a rousing success. Despite a middling critical reception, the animated film smashed box-office records like blocks in its opening weekend and is currently earning high audience scores. That all but assures that Nintendo and Illumination’s cinematic partnership will continue, bringing more sequels and spinoffs set in the Mushroom Kingdom. This is the long-in-the-works start of Mario’s on-screen empire.
Popeye The Sailor - A dream walking While we narrowly avoided Popeye becoming the world’s most recognizable mascot, the Mario series has always held on to that DNA. His games play like classic 1930s cartoons, with an emphasis on transformative animation, grand musical cues, and colorful sound effects that give its world character.
That’s the beating heart of the Mario series. Just because Nintendo doesn’t explain his backstory in detail through long-winded exposition doesn’t mean the game isn’t communicating anything. We see the character’s joyful attitude and determination expressed in exuberant backflips and peppy wahoos, just as Steamboat Willie told us exactly who Mickey Mouse is through a 15-second, toe-tapping dance.
The games’ elegant cartoon character work gets lost in the monoculture soup too. A wordier, quippier script and an A-list voice cast try to bring more depth to each character, but it never quite one-ups its more subtle source material. Charlie Day is perfectly cast as Luigi, giving him a suitably manic edge, but the character never feels as expressive as he does in Luigi’s Mansion 3, where he’s a regular Lou Costello.
