Also, When Mario was on rainbow road there used to be a cheat where you would go on one road and basically jump down to the one below you! And Mario did that! I love these Easter eggs🎉
I was laughing throughout the whole movie and the score/soundtrack were phenomenal! Such a fun movie that surprisingly took great care in Easter eggs and game references. I love that it didn’t take itself too seriously and was just a good time.
I love when bowser and kamek are role playing bowser and peach getting together with kamek dressed as peach, definite nod to New Super Mario Bros Wii where there big twist after the first fight is instead of peach being in the cage is kamek wearing a peach outfit, if only they somehow included Luigi disguised as peach
I love seeing the Yoshi egg at the end of the super Mario bros movie. I knew my boy was going to be in the movie. My theory is that Mario and Luigi along with Peach, Donkey Kong and Toad come back to Brooklyn to receive an award for saving everyone from Bowser. Which would be great to see. Then all of the sudden, there’s a report that there’s an animal causing trouble in the pipes. Mario, Luigi and their friends go to investigate and find Yoshi. Then Luigi having the same color as Yoshi is mistaken by Yoshi to be his mama. Luigi decides to keep Yoshi raise him as his son and when he gets older he helps Mario, Luigi and the others save the mushroom kingdom from a dangerous threat. This theory has a lot of potential and I hope it happens.
I just got back from watching this movie and it was fantastic. You can tell everybody who was involved with this movie loves what they do. Especially Jack Black as Bowser. I went with my husband and my three-year-old neither of them have ever seen anything with Mario or played the games so I had to explain some stuff but they had a great time.
One reference I loved to see which wasn’t a Mario reference, during the Mario Bros job while visiting the house, you can see glass statues of the little Pikmin from the game series of the same name
I remember as a kid playing all these mario games I should’ve saved them and if I would’ve had them till this day it would’ve been awesome would’ve had my own collection
You missed that in Mario room there's also a poster for F-Zero's Blue Falcon, which is also awesome considering how Nintendo abandoned the franchise long ago
A lot more eastern eggs like : - The big bullet bill pointing to Peach castle is the bill from Super Smash Bros Melee , where if you play at that level , big bullet bills will come to hit the castle - Peach , Mario , and Toad going off to an adventure is like the Mario 3D World/Super Mario 2 but without Luigi :( - Luigi calling for Mario while been in a dark forest is a reference to his debut game “Luigi’s Mansion” - The yoshis running around in yoshi island , is the opening scene of Smash Bros Melee - All the power ups are from all the 2D Super Mario games , and what their theme will be played when Mario get them - Peach saving Toad while she is riding her bike all the way down is a reference to her own game : “Super Princess Peach” - Mario and Luigi doing an insane combo on Bowser is another reference to the “Mario & Luigi” games where they have insane combinations of attacks lmao There are a lot more references like the Gamecube song on luigi phone , the change of scenarios on levels of the 3D mario games , etc.
There was Spike as the Human Foreman in the real world. Spikes were characters in Mario 3. Also in the original Mario Movie, President Koopas cousins name is Spike
I never knew that nintendo would do a movie of mario but when I saw the movie mario & luigi really killed this film, and nintendo really did a great job and what really blow my mind was luigi got taken my bowser and bowser did really force princess peach to marry him but princess peach, didn’t like him and mario ended up saving his brother at the end of the movie. (And I’m still wondering how the blue star got caged up justed an edit btw😂)
For the smash melee fans, there are 2 references i saw. Stampede of Yoshis in the background like the intro to smash melee and the big bullet bill hitting the top of the castle like it does as a stage hazard in the mushroom kingdom stage of smash melee.
Might be a stretch, but when Mario and toads karts got destroyed and they had to get on the back of peach and dk’s karts, i was thinking “double dash” the whole time
I noticed there wasn’t any green 1-up mushroom, I think, which if taken would probably imply reincarnation in that Mario universe. Also, I wondered how long Bowser could stay minimized because if he hurt himself badly enough, would not the mushroom effect be canceled much like power-ups were otherwise lost throughout the movie? Unless it’d have to be by a force substantial enough to injure the regular size character.
There has been no verification that this was, indeed, the super show's princess Toadstool. Some people just thought she sounded like her and the rest of the internet latched onto it. Her name is not in the credits. 🤦
@@mp32298 it can be officially confirmed that Grant kirkhope wrote the DK rap. But ,Unless you know of a credible and official source, the same cannot be said for my beloved Supershow Princess Toadstool. 😔
Ludwig and the rest of the Koopalings aren't actually Bowser's kids. That's something the English language added. For further evidence one of them is named Morton Koopa Jr. And Bowser is not named Morton
My only issue with the movie has to be Mario and Luigi's clothing the tops they wear under the overalls in the games they are not shown to be wearing polo shirts but rather long sleeved t-shirts so why on earth are they wearing long sleeved Polo shirts honestly that is rather jarring for me
Let's not forget a building wall in Mario's (fictional) Brooklyn neighborhood advertising "Lucky Cards" ....a sly call back to Nintendo's line of business, printing playing cards for the Japanese market (shout out to anyone picking that from seeing JAKQ Dengekitai as a kid)
Did the movie successfully pay homage to classic Mario games while still appealing to new fans?
I guess
Yes
Absolutely
Jokes on you Screen Rant, I actually stayed till the end and saw the yoshi egg.
Yes absolutely
This video doesn't even scratch the surface about any of the musical references throughout the movie! What a great soundtrack!
The score was excellent. Wasn't a fqn of the "real" music though. Took me out the film
How many where used? I only heard like 35
Maybe Grace Randolph can spot more ...
I swear I heard rosalinas observatory at the staff roll
Also, When Mario was on rainbow road there used to be a cheat where you would go on one road and basically jump down to the one below you! And Mario did that! I love these Easter eggs🎉
Yeaaaa. I was like are they going to do it and they did it... Why no one else saying this
When luigi landed in the darklands, he pulled out his flashlight and looked around. Looked almost identical to the opening of luigis mansion.
There was a reference to blowing in the cartridge.
Yep that was a good one.
I still do this with switch games if it doesn’t register. I first learned that trick from DS though.
They opened so many doors with this movie, the kid in me is very very happy
I was laughing throughout the whole movie and the score/soundtrack were phenomenal! Such a fun movie that surprisingly took great care in Easter eggs and game references. I love that it didn’t take itself too seriously and was just a good time.
Not sure if it’s a reference but when Luigi is looking for a Mario, he calls out for him similar to Luigi’s Mansion. It could be a stretch tho 😅
Nice! I didn't think of that either, these comments are filled with other easter eggs.
@@Kanoog Charlie Day mentioned that his son plays Luigis Mansion so i think that he did on purpuose 😁
Not at all. I noticed that too
I love when bowser and kamek are role playing bowser and peach getting together with kamek dressed as peach, definite nod to New Super Mario Bros Wii where there big twist after the first fight is instead of peach being in the cage is kamek wearing a peach outfit, if only they somehow included Luigi disguised as peach

This story sounds familiar but I can't put my finger on it. (Mario rap faint in the background)

I went with my husband and my three-year-old neither of them have ever seen anything with Mario or played the games so I had to explain some stuff but they had a great time.
Pauline was actually in the movie, She was on the news reporting the sewer problem
They should do a sequel including a Mario kart tournament. Warping to different worlds and tracks. With even more characters included.
One reference I loved to see which wasn’t a Mario reference, during the Mario Bros job while visiting the house, you can see glass statues of the little Pikmin from the game series of the same name
I remember as a kid playing all these mario games I should’ve saved them and if I would’ve had them till this day it would’ve been awesome would’ve had my own collection
BEST MOVIE EVER
Donkey kong also used his ⬆️➕🅱️ smash move , during their fight scene in the arena , hence why Mario flew soo his in that moment
They played the smash move sound as Mario was hit
I loved every moment of this movie! The wedding drama was the perfect ending.
You missed that in Mario room there's also a poster for F-Zero's Blue Falcon, which is also awesome considering how Nintendo abandoned the franchise long ago
I can’t believe nobody is talking about this easter egg. It was awesome to have the Blue Falcon reference in the movie
A lot more eastern eggs like :
- The big bullet bill pointing to Peach castle is the bill from Super Smash Bros Melee , where if you play at that level , big bullet bills will come to hit the castle
- Peach , Mario , and Toad going off to an adventure is like the Mario 3D World/Super Mario 2 but without Luigi :(
- Luigi calling for Mario while been in a dark forest is a reference to his debut game “Luigi’s Mansion”
- The yoshis running around in yoshi island , is the opening scene of Smash Bros Melee
- All the power ups are from all the 2D Super Mario games , and what their theme will be played when Mario get them
- Peach saving Toad while she is riding her bike all the way down is a reference to her own game : “Super Princess Peach”
- Mario and Luigi doing an insane combo on Bowser is another reference to the “Mario & Luigi” games where they have insane combinations of attacks lmao
There are a lot more references like the Gamecube song on luigi phone , the change of scenarios on levels of the 3D mario games , etc.
The cat suit is from 3D World
There was Spike as the Human Foreman in the real world. Spikes were characters in Mario 3. Also in the original Mario Movie, President Koopas cousins name is Spike
So far I haven't seen anyone point out the Game and Watch reference on one of the moving trucks. I giggled at that one😂
Fun fact: The music that plays when Bowser first appears in the movie is a remix of Bowsers Theme from Mario and Luigi Dream Team!
I never knew that nintendo would do a movie of mario but when I saw the movie mario & luigi really killed this film, and nintendo really did a great job and what really blow my mind was luigi got taken my bowser and bowser did really force princess peach to marry him but princess peach, didn’t like him and mario ended up saving his brother at the end of the movie. (And I’m still wondering how the blue star got caged up justed an edit btw😂)
Only thing I missed was the post credits. Sorry I don't wanna sit through credits. Movies should just stick to mid cred scenes.
PTSD triggered when Mario tries the course for the first time. All those misses.
I really hope to see Wario and Waluigi in the sequel.
Oh yeah totally, I would bet on that at that point, either of huge antagonists or side-story bothers/bullies like Spike in this movie.
For the smash melee fans, there are 2 references i saw. Stampede of Yoshis in the background like the intro to smash melee and the big bullet bill hitting the top of the castle like it does as a stage hazard in the mushroom kingdom stage of smash melee.
4:50 i cannot comprehend these words
Pretty sure the secret Mario Bros handshake is the same one used in the Live Action movie, too.
The donut shop seen throughout Brooklyn is the Simpson's donut sold at Universal Studios.
Can’t wait!
There was a pikmin statue in the rich couples house , construction site had a BUNCH of G&W references , and pauline is mayor of New york
When they meet the dog in the hallway, there is a painting on the wall of the Duck Hunt dog
2:45
the dolphin was also the codename for the gamecube when the system was in development.
Might be a stretch, but when Mario and toads karts got destroyed and they had to get on the back of peach and dk’s karts, i was thinking “double dash” the whole time
That had to be intentional. There is no way it couldn't be.
The ringtone on Mario's phone was the GameCube start up tune
I noticed there wasn’t any green 1-up mushroom, I think, which if taken would probably imply reincarnation in that Mario universe.
Also, I wondered how long Bowser could stay minimized because if he hurt himself badly enough, would not the mushroom effect be canceled much like power-ups were otherwise lost throughout the movie? Unless it’d have to be by a force substantial enough to injure the regular size character.
They should’ve made Francis the Duck Hunt dog
There has been no verification that this was, indeed, the super show's princess Toadstool. Some people just thought she sounded like her and the rest of the internet latched onto it. Her name is not in the credits. 🤦
Indeed however like he said Grant wasn't credit either 😅
It was her
@@jlhflex WONDERFUL! Where's your credible and official source? I would _very much_ love it to be true! Her name does not appear in the credits. 😀
@@mp32298 it can be officially confirmed that Grant kirkhope wrote the DK rap. But ,Unless you know of a credible and official source, the same cannot be said for my beloved Supershow Princess Toadstool. 😔
@@ringoraccoon6349 True
Bowsers fury music was amazing
You guys may need to update this since the voice actor for the commercial lady wasn’t Princess Toadstool from the super show.
It’s kinda a stretch but I’m sure Mario’s shirt buttons are coins
i wacthed this movie today
There was an F-Zero poster above Mario's bed near the end of the movie.
Patiently waiting for the pitch video 😂
6:10 you forgot about mario kart wii they had a blue shell with wings and spike
I can spot 100+ references. That is the difference between a gamer and an outdated journalist
Blink and you miss reference is at the rich family house they have a Pikmin statue on the right side. Of the screen.
Great it's awesome as always
I noticed a LOT of references.
We been waiting since 2014
I didn’t leave! The theater at the mid credit scene
Very good review!
The jungle kingdom looks like the jungle track from Mario Kart 7 and 8.
Ludwig and the rest of the Koopalings aren't actually Bowser's kids. That's something the English language added. For further evidence one of them is named Morton Koopa Jr. And Bowser is not named Morton
Thank you so mutch😮!
One of the shops in mushroom kingdom was from Mario Odyssey
Screen rant having a cry because JK Rowling will be the producer of some new Harry Potter movies is hilarious 🤣
There's a blue shelled koopa in Super Mario World
No mention of the mushroom kingdom map poster that was an overworld map to super mario world
Peach was in front but the blue shell hit DK's kart.
Love this video but it bugs me you tell us about the references but don't show them like the buildings in New York and others.
So have the video game voice actor as a Easter egg instead of the main character
I felt sorry for Bowser though cos he’s lonely and only wanted the star to marry Peach. Poor guy didn’t handle rejection well either.
You here in three minutes lets go
My only issue with the movie has to be Mario and Luigi's clothing the tops they wear under the overalls in the games they are not shown to be wearing polo shirts but rather long sleeved t-shirts so why on earth are they wearing long sleeved Polo shirts honestly that is rather jarring for me
18 things I missed? We'll see about that. 4 things, and 3 of them were not about things we could actually see.
8:57 nope I stayed.
You keep mentioning references but not showing them, makes the whole thing very frustrating to watch
Thank For The Video 🙊🤯🥰💕😍👍
Hot take: Jack Black was not a good Bowser. 🤷🏽♂️
They out did themselves in the movie
Ludwig is not his kid
Movie was good but I prefer if it was sonic 6
MILHO
First Like!
Did you seriously just call a gyro a "Greek taco"?
Basically that's what it is
@@jlhflex Not at all. It's about as close to a taco as it is to a cheeseburger
:0 am early
