The Super Mario Bros. Movie is an animated movie produced by Nintendo in collaboration with Universal Pictures and Illumination, co-produced by Mario franchise creator Shigeru Miyamoto and Illumination co-founder Chris Meledandri. It was first announced during a financial briefing on January 31, 2018, and was released on April 5, 2023 in North America and many other regions, and will be released on April 28, 2023 in Japan, and various other dates in April and May 2023 in other parts of the world.[3][64] It is the third feature film to be based on Mario, following the Japan-only animated film Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen! (1986) and the largely unsuccessful Super Mario Bros. live-action film (1993). The film's plot focuses on Mario and Luigi, while working underground in Brooklyn to fix a water main, being separated after being sucked into the Warp Zone[65] via a Warp Pipe and ending up in the Mushroom Kingdom and the Darklands respectively, with Mario, Princess Peach, Toad, and others venturing to stop Bowser from taking over the world and rescue Luigi from him.[66]
A teaser trailer for the film was broadcasted in the form of a Nintendo Direct presentation online and at New York Comic Con on October 6, 2022 at 16:00 ET.[67][68][69] A second trailer was released in a dedicated Nintendo Direct on November 29, 2022 at 17:00 ET.[70] An official clip and commercial were revealed at The Game Awards 2022.[71] A third Nintendo Direct featuring the film's final trailer premiered on March 9, 2023 at 17:00 ET, one day before Mario Day in western countries like the United States and on Mario Day in eastern countries like Japan.[72]
The film has received mixed reviews from critics; it has been praised for its visuals, soundtrack, and faithfulness to the video games, while the dialogue and plot have received criticism.[73]
Plot
The film opens with a brief scene where Bowser, accompanied by his army, invades an icy kingdom, captures its penguin inhabitants and burns their palace to the ground, and steals a powerful Super Star. This cuts immediately to an origin story where Mario and Luigi are introduced as plumbers in New York City who have recently started their own plumbing service, a struggling small business servicing Brooklyn and the neighboring borough of Queens. The family disapproves of the Mario brothers' decision to leave their steady job to start the business, with only Mario's mother approving of his decision. Their antagonistic former boss, Foreman Spike, also derides Mario for making this choice. After a slapstick scene in which one of their plumbing jobs becomes a disaster due to being disrupted by a violent dog, Mario and Luigi see a newscast reporting about a significant leak in manholes throughout the Brooklyn streets. The brothers then take it upon themselves to attempt to fix the broken water main. However, Luigi falls down a mysterious Warp Pipe and disappears, prompting Mario to go in after him. The two end up being sucked into the Warp Zone and are separated in the process, with Mario finding himself in the magical Mushroom Kingdom.
Upon landing in the Mushroom Kingdom, he meets Toad, who informs Mario that his brother has landed in the Darklands, which are under the control of Bowser, who intends to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom. Toad suggests asking for help from the kingdom's ruler, Princess Peach, then takes Mario on a tour of the realm, eventually leading him to Peach. Meanwhile, Luigi is seen in the Darklands, where he is chased by Bowser's forces and tries to escape, but ends up being captured by a group of Shy Guys.
At Peach's Castle, Peach is introduced and explains to Mario that Bowser is coming to invade her kingdom. Knowing of the fate the Ice Kingdom met with at Bowser's hands, the princess reveals that she plans to form an alliance with the Jungle Kingdom to stop him. Seeing how determined Mario is to save his brother, she tests her potential hero with a Training Course full of obstacles, which will orient him with the super abilities and physics the kingdom offers, and agrees to take him along if he can finish it. However, Mario fails the course, but eventually he comes so close to completing it that Peach is left with no choice but to take him along, with Toad coming as well. Meanwhile, Bowser is informed by Kamek about Mario's arrival into the Mushroom Kingdom, but says he is not concerned about it. He proceeds to express through song his obsession with the princess, revealing that he wants to take over the Mushroom Kingdom only because he desires to marry her; if she refuses his hand in marriage, he will destroy the kingdom. Then some other members of the Koopa Troop swoop in and alert him to Mario's presence, causing Bowser to see this stranger as a rival for Peach's affections. Then he has Luigi brought before him and interrogates him on Mario's whereabouts. Luigi resists at first, but spills the beans after Bowser loses his patience; the tyrant subsequently orders his Shy Guy guards to imprison him by placing him in a cage above a sea of lava, where others, such as Lumalee and the penguins, have also been caged by Bowser's minions.
Mario, Peach, and Toad are then seen journeying through an abundance of locales, such as Tostarena, Bob-omb Battlefield, Cheep Cheep Beach, and even a paradise full of Yoshis, before eventually reaching the Jungle Kingdom. Along the way, Peach explains to Mario about the abundance of ? Blocks in the worlds they are exploring, saying that they are filled with all kinds of items that can give him the upper hand against potential oppressors. Once in the Jungle Kingdom, Peach consults King Cranky Kong to recruit an infantry of Kongs to support them. He refuses to join the princess's cause, but later accepts on the condition that Mario defeat his son, Donkey Kong, in a duel. The fight goes off to a shaky start at first, but after remembering what Peach said about power-ups, Mario uses one of the boxes to transform into Cat Mario. He then goes on to dodge Donkey Kong's barrels, chase him around wielding a hammer, and scratch him until the ape is ultimately defeated.
Cranky is then willing to help the heroes out. He suggests that Mario, Peach, and Toad (joined by the Kong clan) use karts to return to the Mushroom Kingdom, by way of the space-faring Rainbow Road. Upon their drive back, Bowser's army learns about their plans and decides to ambush the heroes as they traverse Rainbow Road. The Koopa General chases Mario with his bulldozer and fires two Bullet Bills knocking him off his kart, but Mario hijacks one of the Koopa soldiers' karts, crashes the driver's shell into another soldier's armored car, and has it explode on the bulldozer. The General then gets up, locks himself in his winged Blue Shell, and crashes on the two, destroying a part of the road. Mario and Donkey Kong plummet to the ocean below, and the rest of the Kongs are captured and sent to Bowser's dungeons. Peach and Toad, however, survive and make it back to the Mushroom Kingdom, where Peach alerts the citizens to Bowser's imminent arrival and orders them to evacuate. Mario and DK are later revealed to be alive in the ocean depths, but a Maw-Ray quickly appears and consumes them both. After Bowser arrives aboard his flying castle and proposes, Peach rejects him, but after he has Toad tortured, she says that she will marry him. Meanwhile, Mario and Donkey Kong escape the Maw-Ray through the rocket from DK's kart and hurry to Bowser and Peach's wedding. In the process, Mario exploits multiple power-ups including the Super Mushroom and the Tanooki Suit, and DK also makes use of power-ups himself, such as the Fire Flower.
At the wedding reception, where Bowser intends to execute all his prisoners publicly by burning them in lava, Toad smuggles in an Ice Flower and gives it to Peach, who freezes Bowser and holds down his army, while Luigi is freed along with the other prisoners, leading to the brothers being reunited. Toad and Donkey Kong help to fight off the invading Koopas, but Bowser frees himself and gives the order for Banzai Bills to be fired onto the ground to destroy the kingdom. Mario diverts one of the Banzai Bills away from Peach's Castle and into the pipe that sent him to the Mushroom Kingdom. However, this causes elements from the Mushroom Kingdom to be transported to Brooklyn. Enraged, Bowser pounces on Mario and nearly knocks him out, but Luigi helps him up, and the plumber brothers obtain a glowing Super Star that Bowser dropped, and use its invincibility to work together to defeat Bowser and his entire army. Upon his defeat, the Koopa King is shrunk with a Mini Mushroom and placed in a bottle. In the end, the Mario brothers are celebrated and hailed as heroes by the residents of Brooklyn and their new friends in this alternate world. Mario's father says that he is now proud of him, and the story concludes with the victorious brothers taking up residence in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Production
Reports on the supposed existence of the film circulated as early as November 2014 following the Sony Pictures hack, when it was revealed in leaked emails sent by Avi Arad, Amy Pascal, Tom Rothman, and Michelle Raimo Kouyate that Sony Pictures Animation was trying to secure the film rights to Mario for years, though Arad has denied that such a deal was made.[138]
In November 2017, more reports about the film's existence began to arise.[139][140][141] Nintendo's then-president, Tatsumi Kimishima, stated in January 2018 that a deal had not been finalized, but that an announcement would come soon.[142] By the end of January 2018, Nintendo affirmed that the film would indeed be moving forward, having closed a deal with Illumination.[143] This marked Illumination's first film based on an existing intellectual property to not be an adaptation of a Dr. Seuss book.
Several days after the deal was made, Shigeru Miyamoto explained why Illumination was chosen for the project over other animation companies, saying he had been interested in producing an animated film for quite some time and, contrary to popular belief, making a movie and making a game are completely different procedures. Miyamoto wanted someone with experience in the film industry to co-produce the film, and after talking with numerous directors and producers, he was introduced to Illumination through Universal Parks & Resorts, with whom Nintendo was making a theme park. Miyamoto also stated that when he began talks with Chris Meledandri, the latter read numerous interviews about him and felt that they had a similar approach in creation. Miyamoto described Meledandri as having experience in the field of animation beyond Illumination, having been executive producer of Ice Age and other animated projects for 20th Century Fox, as well as being "extremely cost-conscious and time-conscious in his quest to make successful movies." Miyamoto also mentioned that Nintendo and Illumination had mutually agreed to call the deal off if neither company could come up with an interesting premise, but also noted that the screenplay had been hashed out a number of times and discussions were in progression, hoping to provide more information once the schedule had been ironed out.[144] Miyamoto would later state in early 2020 that the idea for the film came from bringing Nintendo's legacy content to services such as the Virtual Console; such transitions took time for the company, and Miyamoto viewed that as an opportunity to develop Nintendo's content business even further by combining its long-beloved software with video assets.[145]
On November 6, 2018, Meledandri said that he was glad the 1993 film Super Mario Bros. was not well-received, citing the primary reason being that the producers did not involve Nintendo, whereas Illumination was "embracing" Miyamoto and keeping him "front and center" in the film's creation. He said that Illumination's Mario film was in "priority development," and hoped that it would be released by 2022. Meledandri also noted that developing a Mario film is "an ambitious task," citing the challenge of adding depth to Mario that would simultaneously compromise generations of fans and feel organic to his iconography as well as supporting a three-act structure.[146][147] By February 1, 2019, production of the film had formally begun;[148] according to Nintendo, the funds for the production process were being jointly supplied by it and Universal.[149]
Before details on the film's cast were formally announced, Sebastian Maniscalco offhandedly mentioned in a YouTube podcast uploaded on August 5, 2021 that he would be voicing the character Spike from the 1985 game Wrecking Crew in the movie, who would be portrayed as the "boss" of Mario and Luigi.[150]
The September 23, 2021 Nintendo Direct presentation featured an appearance from Shigeru Miyamoto, in which he announced the movie as being scheduled for release in the 2022 holiday season (with a planned release date of December 21, 2022 in North America) and revealed its English cast list.[151] On the same day, the press release announced Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic as directors, with Matthew Fogel writing the screenplay.[152] On April 25, 2022, a post on Nintendo of America's Twitter account announced that the movie's release would be delayed to spring 2023 and revealed the North American and Japanese release dates.[64]
On January 26, 2022, Charlie Day revealed that he was recording his lines for the movie, plot details were being hidden from him, and he knew nothing about the film.[153] He later expressed interest in doing a Luigi's Mansion spin-off film in an interview on February 18, 2022.[154]
Ed Skudder, the creator of animated series Dick Figures and Unikitty!, revealed himself to be the head of story for the film on his LinkedIn profile.[155]
In The Super Mario Bros. Movie Direct on October 6, 2022, it was announced that Brian Tyler would compose the score for the film, which includes themes from the Mario games, in collaboration with game composer Koji Kondo.[69]
The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been revealed to have some short songs. On October 6, 2022, Jack Black announced that Bowser would have a "musical side" in the film.[156] Later on October 12, 2022, Keegan-Michael Key revealed to Variety that he improvised a song as Toad, calling it "an absolute blast".[157]
On February 28, 2023, it was announced on the movie's social media accounts that the release date for the film would be moved to April 5, 2023 in the United States and more than 60 other countries, two days ahead of the initial release date.[3]
On March 23, 2023, it was announced that press screenings have officially begun.[158]

On October 6, 2022, a McDonald's Happy Meal promotion with toys based on The Super Mario Bros. Movie was leaked.[192] In December 2022, McDonald's launched the promotion and released two distinct lines of toys, each one in a specific set of countries that differs from the other's.
SMBPlumbing.com
A promotional website with the URL "SMBPlumbing.com" went live in February 2023. It acts as the official website of the fictional Super Mario Bros. Plumbing service operated by Mario and Luigi in the movie.[193] The site's home page opens with a statement that Super Mario Bros. Plumbing is family-owned and operated, followed by the tagline "Fixing pipes is our game!" and an embed of a YouTube commercial for the service. On March 9, 2023, the page was redesigned with additional content.[194] The page continues with the following sections:
- About Us: Features an overview of Super Mario Bros. Plumbing signed by Mario and Luigi. In it, the brothers introduce themselves enthusiastically, stating that they "aim to one-up the competition with [their] expert white-glove service". Additionally, they claim to have opened the service because they "were tired of dealing with spiky bosses", a nod to Spike and inadvertent foreshadowing of their encounter with Bowser in the movie.
- Testimonials: Features nine written reviews of Super Mario Bros. Plumbing by former customers. Three of them, penned by users SpikeIsCool (Spike), BrKlyn Couple, and dunnadunnadunna, are negative, with the first calling the brothers disloyal and subpar, the second stating that "SMBP left my house an absolute MESS!", although conceding that their dog "absolutely loved" Mario and Luigi, and the third stating that they did not hear from the brothers after they went underground. The other six reviews are positive and praise the brothers for their service. One review is written by the brothers' mother, under the username "BrosMom", who describes them in an affectionate light and notes that they treated her "like family". Another review by a user named "Pipe_Dreamz" praises their "amazing looking water," referencing MARIO WiiU, a Miiverse user known for constantly praising the water effects in various Wii U games.[195] A positive review was left by someone with the username "jump.man", a reference to "Jumpman", what Mario was called in instructions for the arcade version of Donkey Kong. On April 3, 2023, a testimonial by a user named "CollegeHoopsters" was added whose message contains a video link.[196] In the video, several college basketball players endorse the business, including Cavinder Twins, RJ Davis, Armando Bacot, Jared McCain, Sedona Prince, Meechie Johnson, Caleb Love, Paige Bueckers, Gradey Dick, and Hansel Enmanuel (referred to as "Emmanuel" in the video).
- Careers: A listing of various job positions at Super Mario Bros. Plumbing, namely dispatcher, bookkeeper, marketing manager, and driver.
- Service Area: A graphic of the two regions of New York the business operates in, Brooklyn and Queens. The user must first solve a fake CAPTCHA to access this section.
- Van Tour: The actual tour of the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing van. This section is not present on the website outside of the United States. The van visited the following locations at these times:
- Austin, Texas: March 10
- New York, New York: March 10, March 30
- Boston, Massachusetts: March 24-26
- Los Angeles, California: April 1
- San Francisco, California: March 20-24
- Live Chat: A chatbot where the user can ask and respond with pre-written messages.
The website has various links and graphics the user can interact with.
- In the website's header, the "Call or Text Us At 929-55-MARIO" tag plays the Nintendo GameCube start-up jingle when clicked on. By calling the provided number, Luigi tells the caller to text the same number for service and to visit the website. Texting the number causes Super Mario Bros. Plumbing to give the option to sign up for updates on the film; if the texter sends "ON THE DOUBLE" after signing up, it causes Super Mario Bros. Plumbing to send their business card. Booking an appointment leads to the movie's Fandango page or the official website in other regions. If a text is sent containing one of the available careers in the message, the business responds by saying that the texter got their chosen career and sending an image relating to that career.
- In the opening section, when clicked on, the "Certified Super!" seal of approval plays an enhanced version of the power-up sound effect from Super Mario Bros.; the "As seen on TV" sign plays the race countdown sound effect from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe; and the manhole under the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing van used to lead the user to a poster of The Super Mario Bros. Movie featuring Bowser and Kamek overlooking the Koopa Troop. After the site's update, it leads to a link to the final trailer.
- In the "About Us" section, when clicked on, the "24/7 Emergency Services!" sign plays the jumping sound effect from Super Mario Bros., immediately followed by the same sound effect slowed down.
- In the "Testimonials" section, when clicked on, the invalid file icon leads to a 404 error page showing three Warp Pipes. Each pipe plays a different enhanced version of the pipe entrance sound heard in the Mario games; clicking on the middle pipe, right pipe, and left pipe in that order causes the page to play an arrangement of the Ground Theme from Super Mario Bros. Clicking on the middle pipe, left pipe, and right pipe in that order makes Mario jump out of the middle pipe and plays the Underground Theme. Inspecting the website's console output after visiting the 404 error page shows an ASCII version of a Lumalee.
- In the "Careers" section, when clicked on, the "Apply Now" button used to lead the user to a web page informing them that the application process is still being worked on prior to the site's redesign. After the redesign, the button leads to a clickable list of jobs. Clicking on any of them leads back to the main page.
- In the "Service Area" section, failing the CAPTCHA plays the sound of Bowser breathing fire while completing it plays the item roulette sound from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Clicking the Brooklyn portion of the map plays audio from the Donkey Kong arcade game while clicking the Queens portion plays audio from the Family Computer Disk System version of Kid Icarus. Booking an appointment leads to the movie's Fandango page or the official website in other regions.
The website, outside of its real life legal notice, is shown as copyrighted in 2023 and built by Mario and Luigi. Since the redesign, attempting to access the site with the smbplumbing.com address from non-English speaking countries will automatically redirect the user to their local equivalent.

- Game & Watch series: A sign at a construction site depicts a Game & Watch character using a shovel.[227]
- Donkey Kong: In the coliseum, the platform Mario and Donkey Kong stand on is the red girders from the level 25m. Barrels and blue ladders can also be seen in the same scene. The sound that plays when Donkey Kong obtains a Fire Flower is the same one that plays when a barrel is broken with a hammer in the NES version of the game. As Mario beats Donkey Kong, the arrangement of the music of DK climbing the 25m is heard. Cranky Kong's guards have hammers for weapons. Audio from this game is played on the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing website.
- Nintendo Entertainment System: The Toad at the antique store asks about an NES cartridge, to which the clerk tells them to blow into it, referencing a popular real-life method to cause a cartridge to work properly.
- Wrecking Crew: Foreman Spike appears in the film.
- Super Mario Bros.: The Warp Pipe sound from this game can be heard several times throughout the movie. The bridge over a sea of jumping Cheep Cheeps that Mario, Princess Peach and Toad walk across is very similar to World 2-3 from this game. A screenshot of the exterior of a fortress can be seen inside the antique store and a nearby barrel contains axes. The store's "open" sign is styled after this game's in-game logo. The Ground Theme, Underground Theme, and Underwater Theme are arranged in this film's score. One of the reviewers on the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing website is named "anothercaserole", a reference to the Mushroom People's quote, "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!". The same quote is said in the movie by Blue Toad while trying to dissuade Mario from entering Peach's castle. Another reviewer is named "dunnadunnadunna", a vocal interpretation of the main melody of the Underground Theme. The positioning of the building number, the crates and cans on the scaffolding, and the vent above them in the construction site Mario and Luigi run through resembles that of the first group of blocks encountered in World 1-1.[227] The mysterious pipe system in which Mario and Luigi finds the Warp Pipe is in an area labeled as "Level 1-2".
- The Legend of Zelda series: On the map in the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing commercial, a road in Queens named "Link Street" is shown, which is a reference to Link. Mario's father bears a strong resemblance to Talon, the Mario lookalike from Ocarina of Time.
- Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!: the climax take a few pointers from the first ever Mario movie: Mario (literally) crashing Bowser's wedding alond with his fortress, him getting pounded by an enraged Bowser while struggling to reach for the Super Star, finally grabs it with the help of Luigi and defeats Bowser by swinging him by his tail.

On the Brazilian and French versions of the website, one of the testimonials mentions eating mac and cheese at the restaurant, making reference to Little Mac. In the pizzeria are also present photos of various opponents from the franchise.

On the back wall of the store is a picture of Princess Peach as she appears in this game's letters. The Tanooki Suit, which debuted in Super Mario Bros. 3, also appears. The sign above the vertical lift Mario and Toad use resembles the world maps from this game. The Toad House/P Switch music, Spade Panel minigame music, Airship Theme, and Hammer Bro mini-boss music[207] are arranged in this film's score. The Koopa Troop's territory is the Darklands.[228]
- The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!: The Mario Rap is used for the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing ad campaign. Two posters for this film use lyrics from the rap.

Blocks, Power Balloons, and keys and Trampolines styled after the ones from this game can be spotted in the antique store. Cape Feathers appear in the teaser poster. Rotating Blocks appear in the sixth poster for the film. The map of Peach's Castle and its surrounding areas resemble the world map from this game. The Ground Theme is arranged in the film's score.
- Mario Kart series: The opening logo for Illumination features a Minion in a kart at a starting line, with the letters of the logo lighting up similar to the countdown lights held by Lakitu from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! onwards (in order: "IILU," "MINA," and "TION"). The Minion revs the engine before the second set of lights are lit, causing his kart to backfire, as a reference to failing a Rocket Start. A Rainbow Road appears, which Mario, Peach, Toad, and the Kongs drive karts on (or, in Peach and Cranky Kong's case, bikes). Mario's vehicle resembles a mix of the Standard Kart M and the Pipe Frame, Peach's vehicle resembles the Mach Bike, Toad's vehicle resembles the Tiny Titan, and one of the Koopa Troop's vehicles resembles the Bullet Bike. Additionally, Peach wears her biking outfit in the movie. A winged Spiny Shell appears in one of the posters.

- Donkey Kong 64: Part of the DK Rap is played when Donkey Kong is introduced.
- Super Smash Bros. series: During a fight with Donkey Kong and against a wooden cutout of Bowser, Mario does an overhand punch in midair, which resembles his forward aerial from Super Smash Bros. Melee onwards.
- Nintendo GameCube: The console's startup jingle plays when clicking the phone icon on the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing website.
- Luigi's Mansion series: Luigi uses a flashlight in a similar fashion to this game series. In the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing voicemail, Luigi mentions (and puts emphasis on) a mansion when listing examples of residences customers may own.

During the scene where Donkey Kong and Mario defend the Mushroom Kingdom from the Koopa Troop, the power-up sound effect from this game plays when Mario eats a Super Mushroom. Multiple Koopa Clown Cars use cannons in their mouthes to spit cannonballs, akin to the spiked bombs from this game. Kamek is shown dressed as Peach in a scene where Bowser is practicing his proposal to the princess. The guards at Princess Peach's castle's gate seems to be Blue Toad and Yellow Toad.

- Super Mario Maker: The custom cursor on the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing website is the same as the one found in this game's Course Maker. Builder Toads can be seen when Toad and Mario travel across lifts.
