Today, April 5th, the film that many Nintendo fans have been waiting for years arrives in theaters, Super Mario Bros. The film. Since its creation in 1989 by Shigeru MiyamotoSeveral games have been made around this character, selling millions of copies worldwide; next to Pikachuis one of the most famous and beloved video game characters.
The film presents Mario already luigi like a couple of plumber brothers who are not very successful in the industry. While trying to repair an oil pipeline in Brooklyn, an accident takes them to Mushroom Kingdom through one of the mythical green tubes. On the journey, they separate and Luigi ends up at the Kingdom of shadows and Mario in the Mushroom Kingdom. There he will meet Toad who will guide him through the kingdom to talk to the princess and ask her for help in rescuing his brother. The three, Mario, Peach It is Frog, they will be involved in an adventure to save Luigi and the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser's clutches.
As in any children's film and even more so if we talk about the studio that brought the minions, the humor could not be missing. It's one of the best in the film: at the press pass, the room laughed depending on which scenes, which I won't reveal so as not to give spoilers. the matters of Bowser they are hilarious, just like the duo that Bowser and Kamek make.
Video game
The film is full of references to games, how could it be otherwise. The Frogs jump into the yellow buckets to get money, the town's antique store is full of items from the first Mario games. Where the references are most noticeable is in its soundtrack. They used music from video games versioned for the cinema. It's a delight for all fans of Mario and his franchise. To discover everything Easter eggs What is in the film will have to be seen more than once.

How could it be otherwise, the power upthe mushrooms, the fire flowers… The way they adapted them to the film is exceptional, they even use the same sound effect when they lose the advantage. You can already see in the trailer how Peach touched the fire flower and changed her dress, but there's nothing like seeing it on the big screen, how the fire slowly climbs her arm and plays with a small flare.
We see many of Mario's classic characters in the film like Donkey Kong, Peach, Frog, Bowser… but there are many others left, let's hope they want to expand the Mario Bros universe and we will see them in future productions.
Animation
Another very positive aspect of the film is its animation, lighting It is a study that we are very accustomed to with the quality of his work. With Super Mario Bros They show once again the great work they do. Everything looks great full of colors, textures, everything very faithful to video games, it seems to come to life. The best part is the Mario Kart, definitely. I missed braking the car, just like in the game if you start accelerating early.
The film lasts just over 92 minutes, and due to its short duration in relation to what is being done now in cinema, a lot happens. The plot is sometimes a little rushed at times, but everything is perfectly understood and you don't get lost at any point.
Super Mario Bros, The Movie It's a perfect film that will gather in the same room the different generations these video games have passed through. A perfect plan for the whole family and for all those who grew up watching Mario jump from one world to another.
