Second movie'S substory focused on Luigi, bet. The brothers meet Yoshi, YOshi is too scared to go into the haunted house (nonchalantly creating a reference to SMWs castles, where you couldn't enter with Yoshi) and Mario stays behind because Yoshi baby and wants to stay with papa Mario. Thus Luigis Mansion subplot.

I don't doubt the kid enjoyed it, but he's probably seen dozens of movies like it, and is going to see a hundred more movies like it by the time he's 12. To accept colorful, fast-paced mediocrity as imaginative under the pretense that it's bright and exciting and involves Mario is to accept that _"bright + exciting + familiarity = imagination."_ The movie is a babble of visual and verbal memes. If our society doesn't think kids deserve substance, then bring on the sequel.

[@LazzyVamples]

@@Graphomite This is not even remotely true. You're making the classic mistake of mixing up a child's perspective with "childperspective"--one is what the child is actually experiencing and the other is what adults think is best for them based on what they think children SHOULD experience. Children lack the ability for empathy and abstract thinking required to truly appreciate culture and it is pointless to try and teach it to them as it is something that develops over time. The familiarity that you're so vehemently against serves to lay a foundation from which they can start experiencing media and culture with more complex concepts.

Sharing a super star has been canon to the Mario universe since the Gamecube era. This is because of Mario Kart Double dash, were you can use the star to make both of your characters, and the Kart invincible with a single star. But if you are looking exclusively at the platformer games, there is 3D World from the WiiU/Switch, all you need to do is have one character with the star pick up, or get picked up by, someone without one.

(like the penguins being there but not doing much for the plot except drive it along) 2. Those are Boos, not "Ghosts" and they are probably being saved for a Luigi's Mansion movie, since we see King Boo in the audience of Bowser's Wedding. 3. Someone doesn't remember how blue shells work. They go after whoever was in first at the time of them being thrown. They don't switch flight paths if that person then becomes second. They still attack whoever WAS in first. 4. The fact that Bowser keeps trying to force Peach to like him even if she says no is a common trope for kid's TV/Movie villains, and hopefully children will understand why it is something villains do, and why the good guys who spend time with the girl and get to know her, helping her along the way as she helps him usually get the girl.

13:21 Technically speaking Elsa was the infringer. Mario + Luigi: Partners in Time came out in 2005, which upon being used in combat temporarily granted the Bros. the ability to pelt targets with ice balls. The first games that actually altered his appearance were Super Mario Galaxy (which temporarily turned him into a light blue reskin of Metal Mario that could spawn platforms of ice at his feet when running over a body of liquid) and Super Mario Bros. Wii, which turned his cap and shirt light blue and his overalls red and, like Partners in Time, gave him cryokinesis. The only real difference is that Frozen came out like 7 years later, was born with her cryokinetic powers and on top of that would grow uncontrollable when her emotions became negative. And while yes, we have yet to see Peach use an ice flower in the games, other characters in the franchise did beat Elsa to the ice-cold punch. Also are we going to mention the fact that the super star that lasts *10 SECONDS* in the games somehow lasts for a good *MINUTE*?

Since the day I watched it I was like "the only way this is going to get good reviews is because it says 'mario' in the title" and that statement is still true. This movie isn't bland but it is exactly what it is. A movie. It plays literally everything safe. From the characters to the writing. Everything is so safe because it has to be. When they make a sequel it will be the exact same. Another billion dollars for the most generic movie of all time. I had fun watching this movie but I think a lot of this video sums up my feelings towards it.

[@Nic_2751]

Finally someone who’s being honest with themselves instead of insisting this is some true masterpiece

[@_korbo_]

The movie has amazing visuals, it's extremely well animated, the plot is not revolutionary but is entertaining. It plays it extremely safe but as so it goes by the beat, like following a recipe on the back of an instant cake mix, you're not going to make the best cake ever but it's going to be cake and it's going to taste good. Movies don't exist in a vacuum, and while this movie isn't an AMAZING movie, it is Great at being a MARIO movie, it's not trying to be a great movie by itself but it's trying to exploit the fact that it's a mario movie to the fullest and it does it very well, so no, I don't think it gets good reviews just because it says "mario", there's plenty of mario things that don't get good reviews.

[@Nic_2751]

@@_korbo_ yes that’s true, it’s a fine Mario movie, and I respect the hard work behind trying to adapt vanilla Mario to the bigscreen especially knowing Illumination, but there’s also movies like the Lego Movie, or Barbie, that could’ve easily been fanservice and a 90 minute ad, but instead chose to tell a story, even as ridiculous as it seemed, with heart and characters you grow to like and understand, and giving a great message that you can take away from the experience when the credits roll, and unfortunately Mario didn’t really do that, and it’s a shame cause there WERE solid ideas here, especially the brothers relationship, and instead they just rushed it and left us feeling underwhelmed especially after so much anticipation and fear of what it could turn out like

[@Xhalonick]

Tbh it was so boring to me. When Jack black actually started singing it brought me back into the movie but outside of that it has to be the most generic movie I've ever seen.

[@cheesyfingers-ly9nj]

@@Just_A_Random_Person_908 I'm going to tell you this. I'm not a big Sonic fan, I walked out if the 2nd movie loving it. (First one was eh) I was a Mario fan since childhood, walked out of it feeling nothing. I came to realize the more effort Sonic had in his entry, was how they managed to balance both little nods towards the games, and develop an engaging story on top of that. Mario had nothing, any semblance of a solid character moment is later thrown away in the dust. The most common response to something like this is "this movie wasn't for you, you high high standards, go watch woke political movies made by Disney and Pixar, it didn't NEED a story or character arc to be good, it was made for the and ONLY fans and thats what makes it objectively good." Any type of view or opinion you have on this film is valid, but it's important to understand you are obviously valid in liking something, while admitting it's not something well put together. Trust me, I have that case as well.

Everybody complains about how Luigi's trapped in a cage the whole movie and Mario has the entire movie to train, yet they're just as agile as each other in the star sequence.

​@@SpammingYIn SMB3(And probably other Mario titles), obtaining a star makes Mario and Luigi spin jump rather than their usual raising one arm jump, which means they do in fact become athletic when obtaining a star.
