Bowser and Kamek seem to know what humans are (they refer to Mario and Luigi that way), and Toad also never seems confused by what Mario is, so I’d say it’s safe to assume humans might be common knowledge in the Mushroom kingdom. I don’t think that works as evidence that Peach isn’t human or has some astral knowledge.

Also, one thing I noticed in the scene when Kamek is talking to Bowser about Mario and Luigi, he uses the term "Star Child". A reference that Mario, Luigi, Peach and Bowser are mentioned to be Star Children in Yoshi's Island DS.

I love the theory of “not being able to get physically hurt in the mushroom kingdom” BUT something got overlooked… In the fight scene against D.K. you are able to see distinct scratch marks on D.K.’s face from Cat Mario so that could only mean one thing… You are only able to get physically hurt in the Mushroom Kingdom with the help of a power-up.

[@ked49]

That is why having the power star is so dangerous.

[@rikkupendragon8372]

Perhaps the only way to die is being taken out by someone using a power up. DK wasn't using any special items when he was fighting Mario but since Mario had the cat suit, he was able to inflict damage to him. This is also why the Mushroom kingdom is so afraid of Bowser when he has the super star. He can do actual damage to them, even killing the entire kingdom I also noticed that when Mario and Luigi use the super start to defeat Bowser in Brooklyn, Bowser doesn't really show evidence of damage either. I'll have to watch the movie again but I don't remember seeing damage and he certainly didn't die. So I wonder if the power up items have a different affect in the real world vs the Mushroom Kingdom.

[@samurexatlas7373]

I'm suspecting that Peach this time around isn't Rosalina's mother, but in fact her daughter. I know, I know, it's crazy, but it does hold some merit. Stars and moons on her dress, the super-charged pipe, it all makes me think that Peach is Rosalina's daughter this time.

I felt that Peach's reason for bringing Mario with her made sense in hindsight. Toad was literally the only Toad brave enough to go with her, meaning she was pretty much on her own for this adventure otherwise. Then she meets another human like herself for the first time that wants to go to save his brother. When Mario demanded to go, she gave him a day to complete a course to prove he wouldn't slow her down. She had already planned to head out to the Kong's island the next day. So she didn't spend any extra time on him. Basically, "Nobody else is going with me tomorrow, and then I meet the first-ever human aside from myself that wants to do it to save his brother. If he can complete this combat course showing he won't slow me down before I leave, he can come along."

[@shadewrightgames5054]

The other possible factor that played a part in this was her witnessing Mario's determination. He never gave up for even a second. Even after she fell asleep he continued to try. He's persistent and didn't listen when someone told him no. Even pushing through his repulsion to mushrooms just to save his brother.

The reason peach took mario on her adventure is because she's a nice person. That's all the motivation you need, and they also clearly liked mario and felt bad for them, therefor wanted to help them. So theres clearly some motivation to bring Mario there and you can't deny it.

[@liamphibia]

It's clearly obvious. Why did nobody pick that up?

[@Flowermations]

I gotta admit that at first I thought it was a bit forced but quickly changed my mind in that Peach just wanted to help him out since he was lost in this newfound world and is trying to find his brother, I just can not understand why people think it was rushed? Also something funny I realized is that some of Chris´ roles has them get beat up by badass woman at first sight for a good reason lol all of them except Emmet who just got slapped with a cactus all because he lied about being a master builder and the guy that can save the world (which he eventually did in the end), okay the master builder part I get, but Lucy did just tell him earlier that he was the person that can save the world, so he is not really lying if she quite frankly told him that he was the one so that´s kinda on her, out of all the main Pratt roles I have seen so far (and every main character for that matter that I know of), Emmet is the one that I think has had the worst treatment by far in any media (sorry Star lord fans), for two movies straight, this guy would go as far as to risk his life to save the people that he cares about, and everyone else would respect him for it, then years later act like he did absolutely nothing in the last movie, even though they straight up dipped out and were ready to accept their fate the moment they learned that he was not what they were expecting, even Emmet himself was starting to get slightly fed up during the moment where the gang were thinking of ideas on how to build their submarine and Emmet tried to tell them that putting all their ideas together would not work but they didn´t listen and he just had look of ¨I don´t know why I even put up with these people¨ look, I swear you can not make a character any more sympathetic than this, okay that´s all.

[@bencroyle3962]

Mario clearly was not important to bring on the journey, since Peach could do everything from platforming to fighting Donkey Kong on her own, and she even says "he's not important" when talking to the Toads about Mario. Whatever Mario did in his journey to save Luigi and defeat Bowser, Peach could do with less difficulty. She may have shown kindness to Mario by letting him come along on the journey, but by doing so she risked endangering his life and potentially killing him. A good reason to have Mario go on the journey would be if Peach couldn't, as in there had to be something holding her back from going, like an injury or something. Maybe if it happened after Mario completed his training, this would give Mario a reason to go instead of Peach, as he would be the second-best parkour platformer in the land, behind Peach. Of course, my argument would be totally invalid, but I thought that this was how the story should go to give Mario further reason to go on the journey.

[@lasercraft32]

Plus... Mario's like the first human she's ever met, so of course she would want him to stick around instead of running off on his own.

[@rikkupendragon8372]

@@bencroyle3962 I think Peach knew she wouldn't be able to convince Mario to stay behind. He was trying to find his brother and we all know that Mario doesn't take no for answer when it comes to getting aid in finding Luigi. Mario would do anything to protect and save Luigi. If Peach said know, Mario would've put himself in danger anyway and Toad would have too because he was trying to help. Mario wouldn't have stood a chance on his own, especially if he didn't know about power-ups. Bowser would've defeated him within seconds. Peach increased his chances by taking him with her.

[@aacmbirdzilla2343]

I highly doubt the one theory about Luigi turning into a skeleton if he fell into the lava, while we see that fire can indeed turn a living thing into a dry bones, when the same skeleton zombies are chasing Luigi in the dark lands, he and the army of undead koopas arrive at one of Bowser's old castle with a lava river, Luigi manages to pass but a lot of the koopas who where chasing after him fall in the lava, we can see how the're getting disolve in the liquid rock and the glow in their eyes turn off, so as fire just burns your flesh but you keep living, falling into lava can be depicted as the "ultimate death"

[@TheLegendaryBillCipher]

I think it's weird that King Boo appears during the wedding, but we never see another Boo in the entire movie. I think that's to hint at Luigi's Mansion in the future, and it would certainly balance out the brothers' screentimes.

[@yoshifan4456]

Personally I'd like that so that they can show us why the king boo at the wedding wasn't the right king boo (the Correct king boo is the one with the design from luigi's mansion 2 and 3, while the incorrect one is the one that appears in spinoff games like mario kart. they showed the wrong design which opens the door to either just a mistake or perhaps there are two of them, or maybe he just looks different depending on certain circumstances)

[@Chigger]

I figured that Peach's reasoning for accepting Mario's help is because they both had beef with Bowser. And it's not like she immediately accepted Mario as the Mushroom Kingdom's hero; Peach told Mario she wanted to see what he was made of, which led to the obstacle course. Given the fact that Mario did so well for someone who arrived from a different world less than a day ago, Peach saw that Mario would be tough to stop. It only made sense to join forces, especially with both of them looking to protect their own from Bowser. If you ask me, Princess Peach is probably the Aragorn of this movie.

[@goodpol5022]

The “Peach is star” theory is actually *supported in the games* (sort of) alongside the other main characters being stars too. In Yoshi’s Island DS it is said that there are 7 “ *star children* that are born from a mighty dying star; destined for greatness” and the plot revolves around future Bowser trying to find these children to “harness their power to take over the universe”. At the end it is revealed that these star children included Bowser himself, Mario, Luigi, Wario, Donkey Kong, and of course Peach. The final scene that makes me believe they could draw from this is a green Yoshi hatching from his egg to reveal the final star child. This is incredibly similar the the Yoshi reveal in the post-credit scene of the movie.

I feel like Peach knows what humans are because the Toads know what humans are. Peach, Mario and Luigi aren't the first humans to come to the Mushroom Kingdom, given that there's literally a pipe to the MK in Brooklyn. So at some point there were more humans, but they left or died off at some point. The Toads knew about humans and told Peach when she grew up, because at some point she surely would have realized that she's not a Toad. She just doesn't know what other humans look like because the others are gone for whatever reason

the pipe to the Mushroom Kingdom is just in some random sewer system under Brooklyn, Mario guesses that no one's been there in years but it's still very possible that at some point a human or two ended up there, maybe Wario and Waluigi or something for all we know

[@lessonmet5291]

I think Everyone ins the Mushroom Kingdom already knew what a human is, I already made a comment on it thus far. Plus, Peach is a Princess; she has access to several sources of knowledge, but at least the movie acknowledges that a human in the mushroom kingdom is rare.

[@lordcheesus1013]

@@orangeinkius7257 It's probably gonna turn out to be a thing were the Mushroom Kingdom turns out to be some sort of central traveling nexus point for the "Warp System" to ALL galaxies and dimensions out there in the Nintendo world, including "real" earth. Hence why a warp had to be there for Brooklyn too. Maybe Rosalina herself built the warp system to make traveling long distance easier at some point in the past? As for Peach, I think it's the other way around for her relationship with Rosalina: She's not Rosalina's mother, She's her daughter. Since Rosalina is a "goddess" of the galaxy of sorts, that takes into account as to why Peach doesn't call herself human despite appearances. She instinctively knows she's divine and from the stars. That said, yeah, it'd be nice to know how they already know humans exist. In Chronicles of Narnia, humans are treated almost like a legend at best or conspiracy at worst, almost like we would consider aliens. But the Narnianans know about us through legends and stuff. Maybe it's something similar with the Mushroom Kingdom.

You know what game that started as a generic jumpman platformer, was heavily designed around vertical scrolling mechanic like Kid Icarus and ICe Climber, a bit of Gunpei Yokoi staple? A little project they then released as part of a fuji TV licensing deal, called... Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic. At this point the vertical scrolling had drastically been altered more towards typical horizontal scrolling. MAYBE the alteration to Yume Kojo project never happened, because Fuji TV never HAD THAT EVENT. Because... Sarasaland does exist in this universe, complete with Shy Guys.

im honestly really happy that, not only my favorite theories on game theory, but also the theories on my favorite game, are also some of yours. it means the content i like watching is the content you like making and that means both sides are happy.

[@TheMeGuy1]

Peach isn't Rosalina's Mom. Your original theory doesn't support the way time would work with its relativity, however, your original theory does definitely present the evidence that they're related. The main detail that was overlooked was that Rosalina had a little brother in the storybook. What is more likely is that Rosalina went to the cosmos, and time moved faster in the Mushroom Kingdom, her brother carried on the royal lineage, and somewhere within said Lineage, Peach was born. I think that we could definitely see a nod to their relationship, or even have it be a plot point in a sequel, though it's up in the air if Nintendo would allow that. Also, I just wanted to point out that there probably wouldn't be a playstation at all without the boom provided by Mario. The Playstation was the product of Nintendo backing out of a joint venture with Sony. Without Mario providing that popularity, and the NES likely not performing as well as a result, that deal would have never happened, and Sony would've never gone on to make the Playstation.

Hey mat, I have a trifecta theory. Somewhat in relation to the Mario can’t die theory. How many mushrooms both movies and games could Mario actually eat in a day before it becomes lethal? Film, game, food and to spice it up a quad theory with what his clothes must be made of to handle said m/ eaten and m/ ability. Power ups in general.

[@Gaz66d]

I have a bit of a large theory about the Denizens of the Mushroom kingdom and why Peach is one of the only human that can exist there indefinitely and it has to do with the Crowns. This obviously extends to Daisy too… but in a way, makes Bowsette canonical.

[@Gaz66d]

Basically it’s like Magic Mycelium. The spores and roots of everything that is in close proximity turn things into copies of them. The toads are half turned humans who have spent enough time in close proximity to Goombas that look entirely like Mushrooms. Princess Peach mad a safe haven in the “Mushroom Kingdom with a safe quarantine zone to make sure ve don’t become FULL Goombas. How? The magic of the crown. Remember the crown that started the whole Bowsette thing? What if all crowns in the Mushroom kingdom and beyond negate the effects of the Magic Mycelium. The crown keeps her Human looking, and- by extension, her Toad subjects… so they all plateau at a Toad stage and never progress to Goomba or full Mushroom state. This is also part of my Bowser theory… Bowsette is Bowser’s true form reverted back to before she was turned into a wierd amalgamation of all the underdwellers. Fire Red hair like a fire Spark… A Koopa’s shell… A Spiny’s spikes… Fire Breathing Piranha plant… sharp fangs like a chain chomp… Dinosaur features like Rex. Infected by so many different strains of mycelium from all these different monsters of the mushroom kingdom… Bowser becomes the most powerful of all of them- but in the process forgot what they originally were. Until the Koopa kids there’s nothing like Bowser in the whole world… and it’s pretty hard to imagine a boy dragon/turtle/dinosaur thing squeezing out an egg. Unless Bowser was now both and could do it Asɇхυally, ie: was female, and became more masculine by being around all the turtles and things that are largely male through their mycelium. We don’t see hardly any femme Goombas except for the odd handful, like Goombette in Paper Mario. It’s a sausage fest down there. The obsession with kidnapping Peach every week may not be as romantic as it became, but it might have started from a feeling of “being around this person makes me feel more human” because of the magic of her crown’s proximity effect. Eventually that need for relief from the Magic mycelium could have turned into this wierd feeling of “i have to have peaches! I need her!” And kidnapping her bordered on an obsessive compulsion or addiction. Not knowing her crown was the cure. I mean, doesn’t Bowser seem happier when they’re Bowsette? Are they still trying to kidnap peach? Or are they finally happy and the dysphoria is finally over? It’s almost like that’s the real version that they were all along, or deep down… The Crown is the Key to everything.

Actually if you think about what lumas do in Mario Galaxy they’re just whiling to die and transform themselves into planets galaxies etc, specifically the blue lumas with mouths like the one in the movie they ask you to feed them so they can die and become a planet, so it's just their way of seeing life and death but of course a little more cinical and creepy because it's funny.

[@PlayersUnitedArt]

I’m hoping the next film will be a Luigi’s mansion movie to make up for his lack of screen time in the first one and reverse the roles. I think the whole Yoshi thing will be the thing that we leap into with no context at the beginning of the movie to kick things off and tie the two together, with maybe Luigi getting his first hint of bravery after the first movie by being the one to wrangle and save the baby Yoshi in the streets of Brooklyn, and it calls him mama, referencing the infamous Mama Luigi of one of the old Mario cartoons. It would be a cool moment to start the second movie on and would be a good way to establish Luigi as the main focus of the movie, and his struggle to be brave as a theme. At the end we could have a reverse parallel of the reunion in the first movie, proving Luigi is as capable as Mario. That’s my big theory. I think it would make a ton of narrative sense, and given we’ve seen king boo at bowser’s sham wedding, it seems like they’re already seeding clues, or at very least making the possibility known.

[@evagarcia865]

Yeah but I hope king boo has his Luigi’s mansion design, in bowsers wedding he was just a big normal boo

Ok, quick note: we literally see jumpman in the mario movie. He's the only one who plays the donkey kong game, and has an identical outfit to jumpman in the game. He's also the only person outside of Mario's family to be stereotype-Italian like mario, but more than that: he looks incredibly similar in style to mario. I think this is Nintendo putting out another obvious hint to the fact that jumpman and mario aren't the same person by showing jumpman in the movie. It's also interesting how he's the only side character who isn't explicitly Nintendo ip that has a major role. In fact, he makes an appearance after the final battle with his own unique line. That also leads me to the fact that jumpman hasn't actually traveled to the mushroom kingdom. Despite the fact that jumpman is an adult and cranky kong isn't in his prime, it's clear that jumpman doesn't recognize dk, which means the conflict is in the future, not the past. You also messed something up in this video. You said that there were alternate versions of mario and lady. Mario has Pauline, and jumpman has lady, which you pointed out in a short.

As oddly entertaining as a Dry Luigi would have been, Bowser specifically calls out that he's about to make some sacrifices in Peach's honor. Generally, sacrifices involve death.

[@thelying2594]

[@TheRawrnstuff]

Yeah, quite a few asterisks on this one. We don't know if becoming drybones is a koopa feature. We don't know if beady eyes as kids represent human, or male, or is just a mario family trait. We have no evidence telling Kid Icarus was the break-through game, only that it exists. The arcade had an alternate version of the Donkey Kong game with a yeti as the bad guy. There is _no reason_ to just assume something similar didn't happen with the Mario franchise as well. Maybe in Mario's native Earth there was a game about, I dunno, a spark called Chip that searched the CPU Kingdom far and wide for a data package stolen by King CMD Prompt, but every time Spark reached the goal there was a guy named Error telling him that the Data Package is on another hard drive. We don't know.

the reason mario isn't taking a lost of damage in the DK fight might be because Donkey Kong actually wasn't kidding when he said he let Mario win. He seemed to really enjoy being the center of attention in that fight, and helping win an even bigger one (against bowser) would only make him more popular. When he heard his dad would send the Kong army (and therefore Donkey Kong himself) if mario beat him in a fight, DK might have gone easy on mario so that he could see some real action. It sure didn't seem like there were many fights happening in the mushroom kingdom besides in the arena for DK, and it was pretty clear he liked action.

[@RaindropWorksPDX]

16:40 I get the idea here, but I'd have to say that maybe this crash still did go on a decade or more. It could explain why we have the visual incongruity of Mario's ad seeming to be filmed on VHS or at least standard def, but the TV in the pizzaria was clearly a high def (with the resultant widescreen aspect ratios as opposed to the 4:3 of SD tv's) flat screen, suggesting a time frame in the last 20 years, probably closer to 10. For a console like NES to be featured, maybe it just means that while the console came out, it didn't have the support to get a lot of titles and develop the market.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

Also, to be fair Mat, this could be miyamoto's way of actually getting some of the later game lore into the film. Cuz remember from the original Donkey Kong all the way up to Yoshi's Island Mario and Luigi work from Brooklyn. It wasn't until Yoshi's Island that Mario was said to be from the Mushroom Kingdom and this was later further expanded by Mario, DK, Wario, Luigi, the princess and Bowser are all what is known as the star children which explains their immense power within the games themselves.

I am very confident that they will connect all the games in a MCU like fashion through the warp pipe technology that is shown in the movie. We see Mario and luigi use it travel to from earth to the mushroom kingdom. So we could see them travel to popstar or hyrule through these warp pipes. I mean peach does say the line "Theres a whole universe out there, with a lot of galaxies" while the clip of mario and luigi plays in the trailer. (Just my theory)

[@Buphido]

But Nintendo might want Metroid and Zelda for instance to have different art styles from this Mario Movie, which is why they didn’t have Illumination include references to them in this movie yet. And a different artstyle might warrant a different studio, which would make a crossover difficult. I agree that it‘d be awesome though.

[@marvelgeek9577]

I just realized, the theory about Peach being a Star has been in plain sight this whole time. In Super Mario 64 after Mario defeats bowser, he drops one massive Star, that isn’t considered to be one of the 120 power stars Mario’s collected. Mario takes that Star back to Peach’s castle, and once he releases it, it flies up to the stained glass window of Peach where she rematerializes. We all thought Mario used the power of the stars to set Peach free of whatever prison Bowser trapped her in, but what if Mario was turning her back into a human? My guess is that Bowser probably knew that Peach was a star and figured out how transform her into her true self so that he could use her power to increase his own, and Mario was able to turn her back into a human by retrieving the other stars and defeating Bowser.

[@adeokunx7522]

I am very confused, I thought that since Mario didn't take a mushroom he was vulnerable to damage. in the training scene Mario ate multiple mushroom power-ups so he was able to take all the damage. He never had any threat to him in the mushroom Kingdom. But at the end of the movie when they got sucked back into their City, Mario was in his little form. Which means that you was able to take damage or even die. Even Mario and donkey Kong teamed up to fight enemies in the mushroom Kingdom to try to save the princess and they had to power up for Mario to be helpful. Not saying you're wrong, but it's me asking. Also when they took the star meaning Mario and Luigi they were invincible 😅
