My favorite part of the movie is when Mario looks a the camera and says it’s Morbin time and morbs all over peach

[@hollow4364]

i'm so glad you talked about the princess peach bike, i"m also so glad those theater seats had tray tables or I would have regret not bringing a blanket

[@orthoplex64]

I like the part where Bowser looks into the camera and asks the viewer to marry him

[@Volpecula]

Spike is a pretty obscure Nintendo character he wasn't made specifically for the movie, he was from wrecking crew. The restaurant at the beginning had so many punch out references I suspended my disbelief about them being Italians eating at an Italian restaurant. This movie absolutely shoved as many references in to make up for lost time but that's the direction they chose for an old ass ip having it's first movie work for almost 40 years worth of gaming

[@Mike-mb9pr]

My favorite part of this movie was definitely the 45 minute post credit orgy scene between all the toads in the mushroom kingdom. I can't believe Nintendo approved such a scene, yet here we are.

the blue shell gave me advanced fear of the actually troppa that rocks that skill. definitely increased my fear of the blue shell. Boweser have a possibility for his own movie, for his character change arc. I love the story of Bowsers Bed Time Story, RPG. Chris Pratt was clickbait tbg, the trailer it sounded like he wasn't trying, but on the movie it was decent. I was submerge on his tone

[@shawnee8271]

That fact that you recorded this video at 8am just sets the tone for it all.. I had a lot of fun watching the movie

[@AyanTheAlien]

The movie was hella fun. And the movie looked absolutely gorgeous.

[@TinkerYellowmane]

A little errata : The voice of Mario during his plumbing commercial ... was done by the voice actor who does the Mario voice in the games ... Like Mario 64 ... So ... yeah. It's-a Him-a! The original voica-a act-or! Likjewise, Spike is from another, not very well known in the US Mario game where Mario is a construction worker, with Foreman Spike being the antagonist.

[@Artofcarissa]

No it was Chris Pratt who was doing a mario impression in that commercial

[@chriscarrera1172]

Chris Pratt did that voice, afterwards when Mario ask’s Luigi about the accents and Giuseppe, who is the other guy that looks like Mario and answers with a stereotypical Italian voice, is voiced by Charles Martinet, Mario and Luigi’s voice actor in the games.

[@TinkerYellowmane]

oooOOOOOOoooooh! Well, color me edumacated! I knew that the game voice actor had a part SOMEwhere. I thought I heard somewhere that he did the commercial as well.

[@MissEllieVamp]

​@@TinkerYellowmane wasn't he the voice of Mario's Dad? I swear he was!

[@TinkerYellowmane]

@@MissEllieVamp I believe so, now that you mention it. So yeah. IMDb lists Charles Martinet as Mario’s dad and the character Giuseppe. So, to me, research before opening my mouth. Unless I can find my plate of crow and foot first.

I loved the movie, the references and especially Bowser. I do wish we spent more time with Luigi and Mario. And had more time in the Mushroom Kingdom, but I truly loved it. No bad fart jokes, toilet humor or annoying characters. 🔥🔥🔥

[@originalbeefman]

I can't remember the music when we talk about Seth Rogan as Donkey Kong, but I love it. This whole video and the way you describe everything in your videos is what makes me love you as a youtuber. You're very unique, and you always make me laugh. I truly appreciate you and the ridiculous way you describe everything! I love how much all of these reaction videos hit my heart. I just feel like you're one of the people who would get me and my sense of humor.

[@shadowwalker1650]

The entire of the story feels like it takes place over an afternoon, they had an evening outing and that's it. I totally agree with there being more of a journey to the dk kingdom, maybe some more interaction with some of the games side characters

[@Staplegun]

You forgot the part when they confirmed that Bowser was not circumcised.

[@sydneyslaughter7163]

Elementals was actually fantastic, but I also thought it looked god-awful from the ads I saw. I dunno who’s in charge of advertising at Disney but they need to be drawn and quartered

[@alecelliott7506]

As someone who used to be a big Mario fan and got all the references I thought it was a super fun movie. Story was basic and not much happened and I groaned at the "the princess is in another castle" joke, but overall I had alot of fun watching it with my friends. That scene with Peaches fat ass kind of carried it.

[@Sevenigma777]

I actually heard several people either complaining or wondering why there was so much 80s music. Do we not know when the NES and the Mario Bros had ruled the world? On top of that i figured the music was for the parent's nostalgia.

[@thelostmessenger]

Eh there was just so many, and I noticed the cuts to the parts everyone knows. Should've remixed them with Mario music but it would've been too hard ig

[@jafuncle]

Nostalgia is a great motive for decisions in the film. The problem is there's tons of Nintendo music they could've used instead. Songs from Mario Kart, Super Mario World, and Donkey Kong Country series could've filled the entire movie. I've heard so many amazing remixes and rearrangements of all these franchises music, it would've enhanced the nostalgia way more than generic 80s pop music
