I like how Vinny is so honestly offended by the ending. I would be pissed too if I had to go through all that bullshit just for the dog to cuck me last second. He even calls him a weirdo, lmfao.
I think the reason behind the decision to make Mario and Luigi either grocery store owners or employees of one is that, in Japan, the most commonly used term for 'grocery store' is 'スーパー', which is short for 'スーパーマーケット' ('super': short for the English term 'supermarket'); since the title of the game is obviously 'Super Mario Bros.' or 'スーパーマリオブラザーズ', that would make this a pun, with the additional implication that 'Super' in this case is both an adjective *and* a noun.

Mario in this is voiced by Tooru Furuya, who is best known as the man who voiced Amuro Ray, the first Gundam protagonist. Also its nice seeing Vinny be impressed by the animation, the 80s were full of insanely impressive anime movies and OVAs partly because of Japan's economy at the time.
For those wondering, yes the SMB1 manual talks about the Mushroom People getting transformed into "blocks," and _yes_ it's canon. They were specifically transformed into bricks, stones, and horsehair plants. The entire reason Bowser (Koopa) kidnapped Peach in the first place is because she is the only one who can undo his curse. Within the games themselves, Bowser didn't really show any affection for Peach until about Mario RPG. Before then he seemed to capture her just so he could rule the kingdom. Later in the SMB1 manual, it says that the mushroom people give Mario items when Mario hits them. This indicates that they're specifically brick blocks that have items in them, which cannot be destroyed. We can deduct that all the other brick blocks and ?-Blocks were already there. So no, you are not killing Toads by hitting brick blocks, and you're not even releasing their souls or anything. Peach would've undone the curse at the end of the game, and the Mushroom People would've been turned back to normal. There's a common misconception that the SMB1 manual is no longer canon, since there are brick blocks all over the universe. But the manual doesn't really contradict anything. There were already brick blocks, stones, and horsehair plants. Bowser just turned them into more. After Lost Levels, he never tried that scheme again, instead just letting the Mushroom People be. We still see instances of Bowser using magic in the present day, though. He can teleport in Super Mario 64, he flies in 3D Land, calls down meteors in Galaxy 2. In Odyssey he creates shields, clones his hat, summons boulders made of castles... Bowser still has magic, he's just more prone to punch or flame his enemies instead. Kamek is the true magic expert, so he tends to get more time in the spotlight nowadays.
Bowser was raised by Kamek, too, so it's understandable that he'd have been taught to use some amount of magic. And it's clearly not genetic, either, since Bowser Jr doesn't have any innate magical abilities, and instead has to rely on the "magic" paintbrush (which is actually the _scientific_ paintbrush since it was made by Professor E. Gadd) or other sources of magic, such as Wonder Power or that cauldron at the end of New Super Mario Bros. Equally, the Koopalings need to use wands to use magic, further supporting the fact that magic isn't inherent to the koopa species, but something that they can learn to use, or can use via magical artefacts such as wands. Or perhaps they _are_ inherently magical, but can only use it freely upon reaching adulthood, and as juveniles they need to have something to channel it.
i mean, the dog- what do you mean blue the dog IS also a caterpillar shame he didn't transform though, Florian's character feels a bit lacking, yes I'm talking about a Mario character
26:38: For those of you who don't know, there's a famous Japanese comedy folk tale where a family with a newborn baby boy goes to a priest to get suggestions for a name for the baby. However, the parents like all the names they're given too much to pick just ONE of them, so they indeed give the baby *all* of those names, his full name of which starts with Jugem/Jugemu. The boy has problems with the name while growing up, and in various versions of the story, the child is in danger, and the comedy comes from news about the boy, or rescuing or helping him, being passed from person to person, where *each* person has to recite the name in-full. Some of you may have seen the joke done in Full Metal Alchemist's undubbed version, as Scar's "real" name. It's like using "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt" as magic words. If you want an analogue in the Western hemisphere, there's a Monty Python skit that did something similar about a forgotten German baroque music composer named "Johann Gambolputty...--"
Also worth noting is that Spinies reference the folk tale as well; their egg forms are known in Japan as "Paipo," which is also part of Jugemu's full name. For those curious, the full name is as follows: Jugemu Jugemu Gokō-no Surikire Kaijarisuigyo-no Suigyōmatsu Unraimatsu Fūraimatsu Kuunerutokoro-ni Sumutokoro Yaburakōji-no Burakōji Paipopaipo Paipo-no Shūringan Shūringan-no Gūrindai Gūrindai-no Ponpokopii-no Ponpokonā-no Chōkyūmei-no Chōsuke. And you thought "Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso" was a mouthful.
I remember a rakugo manga where the performer had to recite this story and mentioned how hard it is to recite the name quickly and accurately with the right timing. Didn't realize it was related to Mario! I wish America had centuries or millenia old folktales to draw from.
I've been wondering myself if the fandub should be in the style of the 1980s, with pedantic narration to explain away inconsistencies (Remember those? XD). Heck, I even made an Anglicized/translated logo for it when the restoration came out!
IIRC the fandub was put on RUclips years before this restored subtitled version, I recall Nostalgia Critic reviewing it long ago. And yeah, they definitely took some liberties with it. I recall that scene where Mario becomes a Mexican cowboy had the line "Hey wait a minute, I thought I was Italian?" that was definitely something the fandub added and not in the original Japanese.
“Luigi I can’t believe I got cucked by a blue haired anime guy that used to be that dog that traveled around with us! I’m bein’ put in Peachy’s cuck chair Luigi!” -Mario
This movie predicted a lot of things that would eventually be in the mario series in some form or another. One thing I saw that Vinny didn't really comment on was bowser giving peach an oversized ring like in Odyssey
@@citrusblast4372 Nah, predicted would be the right word, a lot of things from this movie didn't carry into future games, so it's most likely the movie didn't influence/inspire the actual games, while predicted corresponds more for coincidences
Not to mention that Mario grabs Bowser's tail and throws the Koopa King off towards the sky is similar to the Bowser battles in SM64, which the movie predates the game.
@@kirbyofthestarsfan I'd bet anything the devs at Nintendo saw this movie, just because they didn't copy it 1:1 doesn't mean they didn't take any inspiration from it.
1. Love Mario 2. Own logo of over a decade is a mushroom 2. Watch Mario and Luigi go to the Mushroom Kingdom 3. See old man dematerialize into what is clearly mushrooms "He was just trees, the whole time he was just trees"
I always ascociate the whole "Mario is isekai'd into the kingdom" aspect with the cartoon, but man, this technically was the origin. For a very long time, I thought that was added to the Western Mario series, while Yoshi's Island was the official backstory, but it was done in Japan, too.
IIRC it was lightly implied in the games too that Mario and Luigi were always from Brooklyn and just sorta stumbled into the Mushroom Kingdom by means unknown.
The word “Isekai” is just so funny to me😆 If I could get Isekai’d into any video game I think it would be Pokémon, and No before anyone gets the wrong idea, I just want to soar the skies on Dragon Types and Surf on Water Types.
The opening theme song's lyrics sound a little stilted in English because a lot of that was onomatopoeia or similar stuff, which are used a LOT in Japanese. Imagine trying to give a coherent translation of something like the English song Splish Splash that has lines like "bing bang, I saw the whole gang" and "flip flop, they was doing the bop". In the case of this song, "bishi bishi-bashi" is like the sound of slapping, and "chakichaki" is literally the sound of like a tambourine or cymbol being struck/jangling, so it's a bit hard to give the right vibe and whatnot without just going "slappity slap" in English or whatever.
I'm reminded of how Clyde Mandelin, the guy who directed the Mother 3 fan translation, wrote multiple times about how wordplay is one of few things about any language that are impossible to translate because they revolve around things that are specific to that particular language. Usually it gets translated literally (e.g. this), gets replaced with a different style of wordplay (e.g. the gag in EarthBound about someone checking into a hospital for a haircut -- instead of being a joke about Japanese homophones, it's a joke about a bad hair day), or gets completely rewritten (e.g. the "happy urepi yoropiku ne~" joke in the JoJo dub, which becomes a gag about treating someone as a supermodel to mess with them).
@@VinchVolt I'm a native English speaker but I've heard from several different sources that English can actually be really hard to translate because we apparently use tons of idioms compared to some other languages.
One thing I find interesting about this movie is how it's essentially the first time in the franchise Mario and Bowser are portrayed as being in love with Peach. It took until Mario World in 1990 with Peach kissing Super Mario on the cheek after being saved to really start sailing in a sense for Mario... and until possibly Paper Mario 64 for Bowser (may have to double check...).
@@DenkyManner "And more generally, (straight) men basically only do anything because of women" "Hit the brakes! We're gone to crash!" "Eh, I would, if it was for a woman."
@@SakuraAvalonNintendo was just about making games and characters to play in those games back then. In the Nintendo 64 and GameCube days, yeah, that’s when the characters were given more personality IN THE GAMES. Super Mario Adventures existed beforehand, as well as the Super Show and the other cartoons, and gave the characters more personality, despite that being just a comic.
This really makes me want to see Vinny react to the Sonic OVA. I know Sonic isn't his thing but I think that might even make it an even more fun watch lol
Man, i would pay so much to see Vinny watch the Sonic OVA for the first time, and that is one of the best pieces of Sonic media out there. Hopefully that someday happens with Imakuni as a guest, but unfortunately i highly doubt it.....
Vinny was listening to Xenogears music last Sunday as a premiere stream, I’d like to hear his thoughts on the Sonic CD US/Japan soundtracks as well as Sonic R and Rush music too.
This movie oozes charm. They did a pretty good job with it, considering how little material there was to work off of at the time. It's such a shame that Mario gets cucked at the end though. I'm glad to see Vinny enjoy it. Props to the restoration team as well, they did a fantastic job with it.
Very glad to see Vinny get around to watching this. It's a very by-the-numbers movie, if only because of how little there was to go off of at the time, but it's still a fun novelty nonetheless, and its influence on later games is particularly interesting to see. While this restoration is incredibly impressive, especially for something made by fans, I highly recommend Kineko Video's restoration of the film as well if you liked how this one looked. (EDIT: I thought this was the Kineko version because Twitch/YT compression made it hard to tell, turns out it's a different restoration). On another note Vinny's reactions to typical anime stuff makes more sense when you remember that he's now old enough to be someone's dad.
this restoration is fucking INSANE seeing what they had to work with before. holy fucking shit. the credits claim "far from perfect", but i dont know what else they could have done to improve things as the quality seems as spot on as can be. anywho i had been meaning to watch this someday myself, but this was as good a time as any and the commentary was a nice bonus. and with chat chiming in as well.
52:57 why is there one Koopa that looks like an actual reptile? It looks so jarring standing next to the other guys, it looks like it belongs to the Bob Hoskins movie
If I were to guess, I’d say it’s a reference to Gamera. Gamera is a giant, fanged turtle kaiju and his series of films is kind of a cult classic among kaiju fans. Because the films released mostly in the 60’s and 70’s, a lot of Japanese artists in the 80’s/90’s who grew up watching Gamera liked sneaking little cameos like that into their work.
It’s crazy how this film used to be lost media in the past due to the VHS’s being scarce, and I’m really happy to see a restoration version made for the big screen was found for this movie. I would say this one is the second favorite Mario movie next to the Illumination Mario movie taking the spot at 1st place. I’m glad you had fun watching this despite the bad ending
6:43 A Granny asks for actual butter, yet the symphony of Granny Cream Hot Butter Ice Cream was nowhere to be heard... Who is this man and what did he do with Vinny
I still remember seeing this is the title for last night and being gobsmacked. This was truly a fun and legendary experience to see live. The movie still holds up well, though the ending is bittersweet. I ended up wheezing so hard I had a sore throat today. Here's hoping more watch parties happen in the future.
Yeah, I used to watch the sh1t out of them back in the early 2000s. They're still around I guess but are kind of doing their own thing now. Classic stuff though. They would probably get cancelled for "bullying" cringey youtubers now. @@crakhaed
This was one of their first big movies. There’s alot of sponsor stuff in the movie because it’s Japan and also this is 80s Nintendo when they weren’t exactly financially secure and Mario wasn’t a franchise yet.
I hope this becomes a series with other video game related media! I want to see chat's reaction to the Super show. Hell get some Captain N in there as well.
Bowser goes from being complete goblin mode at the start to kind of a more Bowser-like rendition of himself towards the end, but this has to be the most polite and gentleman Bowser ever.

Wow that ending really took all the wind out of my sails, I was genuinely enjoying the whole thing Like he was literally crying lol why would they do that to my boy Mario
10:00 Funny enough that va is Kohei Miyauchi. He voiced God in Toriyama's Dr Slump. Plus, he later voiced Muten Roshi for Dragon Ball all the way up till '95.
I remember finding this in like 2008 I honestly never seen it in full start to finish though and I've seen the super famicom telephone stuff. I basically seen all this just through isolated clips throughout the years. I have a soft spot for 90s video game movies I love the Sonic ova and even Tekken the motion picture even if it is ironic for that last one lol. The fatal fury stuff is legit special though. This comes before all that and doesn't have charm quite like those imo but there's still something there and it did pioneer all those to come so it was only right I finally watched it all... and it's probably the Mario movie I can watch the most easily lol.
Part of me wonders if the movie inspired Miyamoto & co for future games or these were ideas they gave to the movie team to animate that would also just end up being future game ideas when the technology could handle it (Airships, Spinning Bowser by the tail, etc.)
I can’t believe you’re just now watching this! I found this on RUclips as a kid and loved how different and unique it was. Back then it wasn’t restored yet and I remember mostly watching the fandub at the time. (But I definitely prefer the sub nowadays) It’s crazy how much ended up being used in the games. The restoration also looks wonderful, they did better than some official restorations I’ve seen. This isn’t my first time seeing it but I knew I just HAD to see your reaction and I’m always down to watch this again. I still prefer it to any of the Mario TV shows we got later on. I’m so glad you had a fun time with it! 😊
Man, I remember watching this when RUclips was just starting. I was like 8? Some of the coolest Mario media that I got to grow up with thanks to the people that uploaded it. Bravo on the HD Restoration!
1:01:01 Something about this movie's cruel ending being followed up by such a hilarious observation of a familiar Mario (SMB 2 box art) sent my sides into orbit. Thanks, chat member.
And the Mega Man one that looked accurate to the Japanese artwork and the sprites in the original 6 games (and 9 and 10) that almost came to America…until it was replaced by the cheesy one we got.
First time watching and I liked the ending. It felt actually emotional which is not something I'd ever expect from a Mario movie. And it felt real, these are people from two different worlds, and it's kind of the tough reality. It's something to think about, rather than just turn brain off, no bad thing only good thing storytelling.
Real. Mario loves Peach enough to let her decide what she wanted to do, even if it meant they couldn't be together. Hes a noble guy. I kinda hate the comments calling him a cuck 😭
@@sillycookie Well, think of it like this: the ending is a result of early installment weirdness, as Mario had no definitive canon yet. It was just Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Mario Bros. and *Super* Mario Bros.; someone thought Mario wouldn’t have grown into having the Mushroom Kingdom as a major part of the series, but that’s proven wrong with Super Mario Bros. 3; and the Mario games have continued from that moment on. Prince Hal is nothing more than an afterthought from pure speculation that the Mario games wouldn’t continue in this direction. If the Mario Anime was more accurate to the games going forward, the cuck-ending wouldn’t exist. In fact, someone already did a “non-Haru” edit of the ending: ruclips.net/video/8qgC7qcP6Oc/видео.htmlsi=ODj6Dn52gh2cXlVr
the Jugemu Jugemu joke comes from an old Japanese story about a couple who can't decide on a name for their baby, so they call him all the names they've been thinking about at once, and his name is "Jugemu Jugemu Go-Kō-no-Surikire Kaijari-suigyo no Suigyō-matsu Unrai-matsu Fūrai-matsu Kū-Neru Tokoro ni Sumu Tokoro Yaburakōji no Burakōji Paipo Paipo Paipo no Shūringan Shūringan no Gūrindai Gūrindai no Ponpokopii no Ponpokonaa no Chōkyūmei no Chōsuke" and its a common Japanese party trick to be able to recite the name. In the Mario 1986 Anime Movie universe, the joke is that Lakitu's parents named him this.
3:25 It's interesting to see Mario be more like Luigi here running away. This was decades before Luigi's Mansion established Luigi as the cowardly one of the bros.
26:35 some context/trivia with assistance from wikipedia: In Japanese Lakitu is named Jugemu, and the spiked enemies he throws are called Paipo. This is a reference to Jugemu, a famous story in Rakugo which is a form of Japanese verbal entertainment in which a lone storyteller, the rakugoka acts out a story (usually comedic in nature, although not necessarily or entirely) in which they play the role of multiple characters. In the story of Jugemu, a couple is having trouble naming their newborn and the father goes to a shrine to ask a priest for an auspicious name to give to his son, with the priest suggesting Jugemu, among others. The father ends up being unable to decide on one name and picks all of them, with Jugemu's full name being Jugemu Jugemu (寿限無 寿限無) Gokō-no Surikire (五劫の擦り切れ) Kaijarisuigyo-no (海砂利水魚の) Suigyōmatsu Unraimatsu Fūraimatsu (水行末 雲来末 風来末) Kuunerutokoro-ni Sumutokoro (食う寝る処に住む処) Yaburakōji-no Burakōji (やぶら柑子のぶら柑子) Paipopaipo Paipo-no Shūringan (パイポパイポ パイポのシューリンガン) Shūringan-no Gūrindai (シューリンガンのグーリンダイ) Gūrindai-no Ponpokopii-no Ponpokonā-no (グーリンダイのポンポコピーのポンポコナーの) Chōkyūmei-no Chōsuke (長久命の長助) The comedic element of the story often hinges on the performer's delivery. With Jugemu being a bit of a troublemaker, anytime a character in the story calls out to Jugemu they do so reciting his full name. In some versions of the story things also take a darker turn with events culminating in Jugemu falling into a well, river or lake, either drowning or having his parents come to the rescue just in time, with everyone passing along the news having to recite Jugemu's full name. Why exactly did Nintendo name some dude flying on a cloud throwing spiked monsters at Mario Jugemu? idk for sure, but to speculate, Jugemu (寿限無) means "limitless life". Lakitu usually flies high enough that defeating one isn't always the easiest and even when you do, they'll reappear after a while, so if I had to guess that's probably where they got the name.
Vinny, this is your first time seeing this, but the community for this movie has been passionate and involved in fan works for years, even managing to get the original master reel, remaster and recolor it into 4K, and go through several translation revisions. (I helped that at one point actually as some references were originally lost in translation.) It's only recently that some fan groups finally put together this finalized, fully remastered version, released in its entirety on RUclips, for everyone to enjoy. I'm glad you got to experience it in its best quality now though! 12:00 For example, a pun lost in translation here is that Mario says a pun when mistakening Bowser's name, "I don't know who this Koopa, Bibimba, or whatever guy is...", as in, Koopa is the Japanese pronunciation of the Korean dish Gukbap. One of Koopa's original names was also considered to be Bibimba, another Korean dish. It was likely a coincidence, but Nintendo didn't actually mention that fact until a few years later apparently.
Just leaving this here in case I get brought back. 45:03 56:19 Unironically a cool lil' spat. Plus, it did the Bowser tail throw before 64. Also I love how unfulfilled Vin is at the ending. Same honestly.
Hated how much Yamcha sucked in DBZ, i wish hed remained their friendly neighbor bandit with a bunch of firearms he had in DB. Not that it would be useful but im not saying he had to be around so much
A couple things to point out. There was some music toward the beginning that was never in SMB, though heard decades later in Mario Maker and Mario Maker 2. The Koopa priest is voiced by Joji Yanami who played the skinny mechanic henchman in Tatsunoko's Time Bokan series (ie: Boyacky in "Yatterman.")

For those wondering, yes the SMB1 manual talks about the Mushroom People getting transformed into "blocks," and _yes_ it's canon.
They were specifically transformed into bricks, stones, and horsehair plants. The entire reason Bowser (Koopa) kidnapped Peach in the first place is because she is the only one who can undo his curse. Within the games themselves, Bowser didn't really show any affection for Peach until about Mario RPG. Before then he seemed to capture her just so he could rule the kingdom.
Later in the SMB1 manual, it says that the mushroom people give Mario items when Mario hits them. This indicates that they're specifically brick blocks that have items in them, which cannot be destroyed. We can deduct that all the other brick blocks and ?-Blocks were already there. So no, you are not killing Toads by hitting brick blocks, and you're not even releasing their souls or anything. Peach would've undone the curse at the end of the game, and the Mushroom People would've been turned back to normal.
There's a common misconception that the SMB1 manual is no longer canon, since there are brick blocks all over the universe. But the manual doesn't really contradict anything. There were already brick blocks, stones, and horsehair plants. Bowser just turned them into more.
After Lost Levels, he never tried that scheme again, instead just letting the Mushroom People be. We still see instances of Bowser using magic in the present day, though. He can teleport in Super Mario 64, he flies in 3D Land, calls down meteors in Galaxy 2. In Odyssey he creates shields, clones his hat, summons boulders made of castles... Bowser still has magic, he's just more prone to punch or flame his enemies instead. Kamek is the true magic expert, so he tends to get more time in the spotlight nowadays.
Bowser was raised by Kamek, too, so it's understandable that he'd have been taught to use some amount of magic. And it's clearly not genetic, either, since Bowser Jr doesn't have any innate magical abilities, and instead has to rely on the "magic" paintbrush (which is actually the _scientific_ paintbrush since it was made by Professor E. Gadd) or other sources of magic, such as Wonder Power or that cauldron at the end of New Super Mario Bros.
Equally, the Koopalings need to use wands to use magic, further supporting the fact that magic isn't inherent to the koopa species, but something that they can learn to use, or can use via magical artefacts such as wands. Or perhaps they _are_ inherently magical, but can only use it freely upon reaching adulthood, and as juveniles they need to have something to channel it.
@@alfiehicks1 Kamek the Magickoopa can actually transform stuff into blocks in Mario Maker, at least.
@@fixedfunshowThey can do that in Super Mario World too
Mario and Luigi having mustaches as babies were originally canon until 1995 apparently.

I find it funny how the blue dog design translated to the green caterpillar prince in the flower kingdom for Mario Wonder
They even wear the same crown 😂
i mean, the dog- what do you mean blue
the dog IS also a caterpillar
shame he didn't transform though, Florian's character feels a bit lacking, yes I'm talking about a Mario character
26:38: For those of you who don't know, there's a famous Japanese comedy folk tale where a family with a newborn baby boy goes to a priest to get suggestions for a name for the baby. However, the parents like all the names they're given too much to pick just ONE of them, so they indeed give the baby *all* of those names, his full name of which starts with Jugem/Jugemu. The boy has problems with the name while growing up, and in various versions of the story, the child is in danger, and the comedy comes from news about the boy, or rescuing or helping him, being passed from person to person, where *each* person has to recite the name in-full.
Some of you may have seen the joke done in Full Metal Alchemist's undubbed version, as Scar's "real" name.
It's like using "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt" as magic words.
If you want an analogue in the Western hemisphere, there's a Monty Python skit that did something similar about a forgotten German baroque music composer named "Johann Gambolputty...--"
Also worth noting is that Spinies reference the folk tale as well; their egg forms are known in Japan as "Paipo," which is also part of Jugemu's full name. For those curious, the full name is as follows:
Jugemu Jugemu Gokō-no Surikire Kaijarisuigyo-no Suigyōmatsu Unraimatsu Fūraimatsu Kuunerutokoro-ni Sumutokoro Yaburakōji-no Burakōji Paipopaipo Paipo-no Shūringan Shūringan-no Gūrindai Gūrindai-no Ponpokopii-no Ponpokonā-no Chōkyūmei-no Chōsuke.
And you thought "Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso" was a mouthful.
I never knew the actual lore for that FMA scene, so thanks for that haha
@@VinchVolt Thank you for reminding me about Picasso's full name. XD
I remember a rakugo manga where the performer had to recite this story and mentioned how hard it is to recite the name quickly and accurately with the right timing. Didn't realize it was related to Mario! I wish America had centuries or millenia old folktales to draw from.
It's also mde intoa song and anime ED by Momoiro clover Z
I feel that if people decide to fandub this movie, vinny should do at least one of the mario bros voices... they would fit nicely
It has been dubbed, but not officially. There's one that's a few years old.
@@CeHee123woah really????
@hecatia666 right on youtube. It's not the best though.
I've been wondering myself if the fandub should be in the style of the 1980s, with pedantic narration to explain away inconsistencies (Remember those? XD). Heck, I even made an Anglicized/translated logo for it when the restoration came out!
IIRC the fandub was put on RUclips years before this restored subtitled version, I recall Nostalgia Critic reviewing it long ago. And yeah, they definitely took some liberties with it. I recall that scene where Mario becomes a Mexican cowboy had the line "Hey wait a minute, I thought I was Italian?" that was definitely something the fandub added and not in the original Japanese.
“Luigi I can’t believe I got cucked by a blue haired anime guy that used to be that dog that traveled around with us! I’m bein’ put in Peachy’s cuck chair Luigi!” -Mario
This movie predicted a lot of things that would eventually be in the mario series in some form or another. One thing I saw that Vinny didn't really comment on was bowser giving peach an oversized ring like in Odyssey
I dont think predicted, maybe inspired
Or Bowser turning into a scarecrow (SMRPG)
@@citrusblast4372 Nah, predicted would be the right word, a lot of things from this movie didn't carry into future games, so it's most likely the movie didn't influence/inspire the actual games, while predicted corresponds more for coincidences
Not to mention that Mario grabs Bowser's tail and throws the Koopa King off towards the sky is similar to the Bowser battles in SM64, which the movie predates the game.
@@kirbyofthestarsfan I'd bet anything the devs at Nintendo saw this movie, just because they didn't copy it 1:1 doesn't mean they didn't take any inspiration from it.
1. Love Mario
2. Own logo of over a decade is a mushroom
2. Watch Mario and Luigi go to the Mushroom Kingdom
3. See old man dematerialize into what is clearly mushrooms
"He was just trees, the whole time he was just trees"
I always ascociate the whole "Mario is isekai'd into the kingdom" aspect with the cartoon, but man, this technically was the origin. For a very long time, I thought that was added to the Western Mario series, while Yoshi's Island was the official backstory, but it was done in Japan, too.
IIRC it was lightly implied in the games too that Mario and Luigi were always from Brooklyn and just sorta stumbled into the Mushroom Kingdom by means unknown.
@@VinchVoltI guess he is Italian, so he'd have to come from a somewhat similar world to ours.
The word “Isekai” is just so funny to me😆
If I could get Isekai’d into any video game I think it would be Pokémon, and No before anyone gets the wrong idea, I just want to soar the skies on Dragon Types and Surf on Water Types.
@@brandonwilliams6119 The fact that you believe someone could get the wrong idea says a lot.
@@goom4689 Hey I wouldn’t put it past the internet, gotta catch those who like to assume things.
The opening theme song's lyrics sound a little stilted in English because a lot of that was onomatopoeia or similar stuff, which are used a LOT in Japanese. Imagine trying to give a coherent translation of something like the English song Splish Splash that has lines like "bing bang, I saw the whole gang" and "flip flop, they was doing the bop". In the case of this song, "bishi bishi-bashi" is like the sound of slapping, and "chakichaki" is literally the sound of like a tambourine or cymbol being struck/jangling, so it's a bit hard to give the right vibe and whatnot without just going "slappity slap" in English or whatever.
I'm reminded of how Clyde Mandelin, the guy who directed the Mother 3 fan translation, wrote multiple times about how wordplay is one of few things about any language that are impossible to translate because they revolve around things that are specific to that particular language. Usually it gets translated literally (e.g. this), gets replaced with a different style of wordplay (e.g. the gag in EarthBound about someone checking into a hospital for a haircut -- instead of being a joke about Japanese homophones, it's a joke about a bad hair day), or gets completely rewritten (e.g. the "happy urepi yoropiku ne~" joke in the JoJo dub, which becomes a gag about treating someone as a supermodel to mess with them).
@@VinchVolt I'm a native English speaker but I've heard from several different sources that English can actually be really hard to translate because we apparently use tons of idioms compared to some other languages.

One thing I find interesting about this movie is how it's essentially the first time in the franchise Mario and Bowser are portrayed as being in love with Peach. It took until Mario World in 1990 with Peach kissing Super Mario on the cheek after being saved to really start sailing in a sense for Mario... and until possibly Paper Mario 64 for Bowser (may have to double check...).
@@DenkyManner "And more generally, (straight) men basically only do anything because of women"

"Eh, I would, if it was for a woman."
To be fair, those old Mario games are pretty light on any story or character relations. Luigi doesn't even get a canon personality until the GameCube.
@@SakuraAvalonNintendo was just about making games and characters to play in those games back then. In the Nintendo 64 and GameCube days, yeah, that’s when the characters were given more personality IN THE GAMES.
Super Mario Adventures existed beforehand, as well as the Super Show and the other cartoons, and gave the characters more personality, despite that being just a comic.
@SakuraAvalon was putting straight there really necessary lol.
I'm voting yes on Vinny watching more random 80s and 90s OVAs
40:18 This is the moment where Luigi realized the vulnerability of physical currency and turned him into Crypto Luigi
I'd never watched it all the way through before. This was a really fun and magical Sunday segment
This really makes me want to see Vinny react to the Sonic OVA. I know Sonic isn't his thing but I think that might even make it an even more fun watch lol
Would be great, maybe together with Ima or so.
Honestly it's so different from the actual Sonic games, that you could be completely new to the series and still enjoy it.
Man, i would pay so much to see Vinny watch the Sonic OVA for the first time, and that is one of the best pieces of Sonic media out there. Hopefully that someday happens with Imakuni as a guest, but unfortunately i highly doubt it.....
SHUDDUP TALEZ
Vinny was listening to Xenogears music last Sunday as a premiere stream, I’d like to hear his thoughts on the Sonic CD US/Japan soundtracks as well as Sonic R and Rush music too.
This movie oozes charm. They did a pretty good job with it, considering how little material there was to work off of at the time. It's such a shame that Mario gets cucked at the end though. I'm glad to see Vinny enjoy it. Props to the restoration team as well, they did a fantastic job with it.
12:11 Mario's Japanese Cowboy impression is so offensive God himself descends from Heaven to tell him to stop
Very glad to see Vinny get around to watching this. It's a very by-the-numbers movie, if only because of how little there was to go off of at the time, but it's still a fun novelty nonetheless, and its influence on later games is particularly interesting to see. While this restoration is incredibly impressive, especially for something made by fans, I highly recommend Kineko Video's restoration of the film as well if you liked how this one looked. (EDIT: I thought this was the Kineko version because Twitch/YT compression made it hard to tell, turns out it's a different restoration).
On another note Vinny's reactions to typical anime stuff makes more sense when you remember that he's now old enough to be someone's dad.
I see you on almost every Vinny video and I keep thinking your pic is from Osomatsu-san but it's not
Vinny’s been old enough to be a dad since he started streaming lol
I thought this was the Kineko version as well!
this restoration is fucking INSANE seeing what they had to work with before. holy fucking shit.
the credits claim "far from perfect", but i dont know what else they could have done to improve
things as the quality seems as spot on as can be.
anywho i had been meaning to watch this someday myself, but this was as good a time as any and
the commentary was a nice bonus. and with chat chiming in as well.
Some comments are saying that vin should have watched tbe most recent remaster by Kineko
58:19 It was such a great to hear Vinny laugh so hard. 🤣
Villain laugh
Vinny somehow produced a Joel laugh.
Vinny laughing and then shouting "FLOWER KINGDOM !?" is what got me
*Vinny's reaction to the ending is exactly how I thought he would react, we all did the same XD*
11:34 I just realized the translators went the extra mile to make the prophecy rhyme.

Words of wisdom from Vincent "Funny Calzone Man" Pizzapasta
52:57 why is there one Koopa that looks like an actual reptile? It looks so jarring standing next to the other guys, it looks like it belongs to the Bob Hoskins movie
If I were to guess, I’d say it’s a reference to Gamera. Gamera is a giant, fanged turtle kaiju and his series of films is kind of a cult classic among kaiju fans. Because the films released mostly in the 60’s and 70’s, a lot of Japanese artists in the 80’s/90’s who grew up watching Gamera liked sneaking little cameos like that into their work.
lmfao holy shit
We're getting closer and closer to the day Vinny finally watches Ghost in the Shell anime movie.
I love how the goombas are the few characters that look similar to their modern counterparts
Except for those arms. lol It was also odd how they were King Koopa's best minions through trickery, as opposed to least effective.
31:57 why did they use the one mario enemy that's immune to fire to show off the fire flower's abilities lol
It’s crazy how this film used to be lost media in the past due to the VHS’s being scarce, and I’m really happy to see a restoration version made for the big screen was found for this movie. I would say this one is the second favorite Mario movie next to the Illumination Mario movie taking the spot at 1st place. I’m glad you had fun watching this despite the bad ending
So Vinny has officially watched anime twice now: Akira and this!
he also mentioned during one of the totk streams that he watched princess mononoke
and nausicaa
He has also watched all of the Castlevania anime series.
This is bait.
@@David-wo7nteww, he watched say gex
I mean does he NEED to watch any more anime after this? I think this and Akira pretty much covers it.

I still remember seeing this is the title for last night and being gobsmacked. This was truly a fun and legendary experience to see live. The movie still holds up well, though the ending is bittersweet. I ended up wheezing so hard I had a sore throat today. Here's hoping more watch parties happen in the future.
I probably shouldn't watch it then. I've got a sore throat
Eh, the ending is actual shit, like what? The dog barely did anything lol
The ending with that bittersweet song "Adieu My Love" playing over the credits really feels like salt in the wound for Mario.
Oh god, this was a huge inspiration for Mario Bros Wonder. Prince Florian looks exactly like the dog in this movie!
I love this, Vinny should watch more shows/animes in this format with his commentary in the background. I get Retsupurae/ChipCheezum vibes from this.
Retsupurae was the shit! 😂
Yeah, I used to watch the sh1t out of them back in the early 2000s. They're still around I guess but are kind of doing their own thing now. Classic stuff though. They would probably get cancelled for "bullying" cringey youtubers now. @@crakhaed
Fun fact: the anime was animated by the Kyoto Animation, the same studio that made Free!, Nichijou, and Dragon Maid.
This was one of their first big movies. There’s alot of sponsor stuff in the movie because it’s Japan and also this is 80s Nintendo when they weren’t exactly financially secure and Mario wasn’t a franchise yet.
Similar to how the final Bowser fight influenced 64, I think this iteration of Luigi went on to inspire Wario and his love of money 💰
Vinny commented that Luigi had been giving Wario's traits, and didn't notice that he basically has Wario's colors too!
I hope this becomes a series with other video game related media!
I want to see chat's reaction to the Super show.
Hell get some Captain N in there as well.
I kinda want to see him react to the Final Fantasy OVA (The takes place in FF5's Universe)
I'd love to see Vinny verbally tear captain n a new warpzone
Vinny’s watched a lot of Captain N, it’s there in some of the earliest videos on his channel (i.e Cutsman)
Nice golden boy pfp
Bowser goes from being complete goblin mode at the start to kind of a more Bowser-like rendition of himself towards the end, but this has to be the most polite and gentleman Bowser ever.
Yeah, like if it weren't for the abduction and forced marrying, I'd say he was downright pleasant.
He didn't breathe fire at Peach when rejected, like he did in the recent movie.
Well this is a good excuse to finally watch it. It's interesting to have something that reinforces the SMB manual mentioning Toads getting turned into bricks (41:05).

I remember finding this in like 2008 I honestly never seen it in full start to finish though and I've seen the super famicom telephone stuff. I basically seen all this just through isolated clips throughout the years. I have a soft spot for 90s video game movies I love the Sonic ova and even Tekken the motion picture even if it is ironic for that last one lol. The fatal fury stuff is legit special though. This comes before all that and doesn't have charm quite like those imo but there's still something there and it did pioneer all those to come so it was only right I finally watched it all... and it's probably the Mario movie I can watch the most easily lol.
The Sonic ova is another classic.
Best Metal
Part of me wonders if the movie inspired Miyamoto & co for future games or these were ideas they gave to the movie team to animate that would also just end up being future game ideas when the technology could handle it (Airships, Spinning Bowser by the tail, etc.)
I remember watching this when I was young on the computer! Such a nostalgia
Same. I found this on youtube when I was little and can confidently blame it for introducing me to anime at large
I’ve only watched the first few minutes of the movie(up until the title) and one other scene when I was little, but I remember it very fondly
11:57
This actually makes sense because Super Mario Bros. for the NES was released on September 13, 1985, and happened to be a Friday... 🤔
30:03 Well, one of the concept art for the first Super Mario Bros was to Mario ride a cloud (with a entire level based on that)
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Such a timeless classic.
I can’t believe you’re just now watching this! I found this on RUclips as a kid and loved how different and unique it was. Back then it wasn’t restored yet and I remember mostly watching the fandub at the time. (But I definitely prefer the sub nowadays) It’s crazy how much ended up being used in the games. The restoration also looks wonderful, they did better than some official restorations I’ve seen. This isn’t my first time seeing it but I knew I just HAD to see your reaction and I’m always down to watch this again. I still prefer it to any of the Mario TV shows we got later on. I’m so glad you had a fun time with it! 😊
Man, I remember watching this when RUclips was just starting. I was like 8? Some of the coolest Mario media that I got to grow up with thanks to the people that uploaded it. Bravo on the HD Restoration!
1:01:01
Something about this movie's cruel ending being followed up by such a hilarious observation of a familiar Mario (SMB 2 box art) sent my sides into orbit. Thanks, chat member.
I gotta say this movie is perhaps one of the few animes that perfectly captured the western animation style
TSUYOOOOO!!!!
And the Mega Man one that looked accurate to the Japanese artwork and the sprites in the original 6 games (and 9 and 10) that almost came to America…until it was replaced by the cheesy one we got.
First time watching and I liked the ending. It felt actually emotional which is not something I'd ever expect from a Mario movie. And it felt real, these are people from two different worlds, and it's kind of the tough reality. It's something to think about, rather than just turn brain off, no bad thing only good thing storytelling.
Real. Mario loves Peach enough to let her decide what she wanted to do, even if it meant they couldn't be together. Hes a noble guy. I kinda hate the comments calling him a cuck 😭
Too bad that was the only like good part of the movie doc 💀
@@sillycookiedawg i dont care mario went through all that shit only for this random mf to come out of nowhere
@@sillycookie Well, think of it like this: the ending is a result of early installment weirdness, as Mario had no definitive canon yet. It was just Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Mario Bros. and *Super* Mario Bros.; someone thought Mario wouldn’t have grown into having the Mushroom Kingdom as a major part of the series, but that’s proven wrong with Super Mario Bros. 3; and the Mario games have continued from that moment on. Prince Hal is nothing more than an afterthought from pure speculation that the Mario games wouldn’t continue in this direction. If the Mario Anime was more accurate to the games going forward, the cuck-ending wouldn’t exist.

This came out of nowhere. Watched the whole thing, great time. Crazy to see how mario was precieved then and what stuck and what didn't
The prince's dog form looking like prince florian and him being from the flower kingdom is actually wild
It really is an Ikea anime plot
the Jugemu Jugemu joke comes from an old Japanese story about a couple who can't decide on a name for their baby, so they call him all the names they've been thinking about at once, and his name is "Jugemu Jugemu Go-Kō-no-Surikire Kaijari-suigyo no Suigyō-matsu Unrai-matsu Fūrai-matsu Kū-Neru Tokoro ni Sumu Tokoro Yaburakōji no Burakōji Paipo Paipo Paipo no Shūringan Shūringan no Gūrindai Gūrindai no Ponpokopii no Ponpokonaa no Chōkyūmei no Chōsuke" and its a common Japanese party trick to be able to recite the name.
In the Mario 1986 Anime Movie universe, the joke is that Lakitu's parents named him this.
I swear I remember a fansub of this movie a long time ago that named the prince Naruto.
3:25 It's interesting to see Mario be more like Luigi here running away. This was decades before Luigi's Mansion established Luigi as the cowardly one of the bros.
Isn't it kinda crazy how he did the famous face at the end though? When mario was mugging at the camera, L had his terror face on
And I liked their reversed dynamic and that it comes before the rest of the series to be such a notable contrast
Wait, so the Flower Kingdom has literally always existed in Mario canon? Not just in Wonder?
5:50 - Imagine if Mario 64 opened with this song before you even got to play the game.
seeing vinny get scared of an abstract montage sequence was like homer going insane over the painting of the dogs playing poker
and while it NEVER got a official English dub it was still BETTER then the 1993 LIVE action movie of it.
Ayyyyeee!! This is a cool thing to see! I love this movie, cool to see Vinny doing a full on reaction
Icy key is my favorite genre of anime.
26:35 some context/trivia with assistance from wikipedia: In Japanese Lakitu is named Jugemu, and the spiked enemies he throws are called Paipo. This is a reference to Jugemu, a famous story in Rakugo which is a form of Japanese verbal entertainment in which a lone storyteller, the rakugoka acts out a story (usually comedic in nature, although not necessarily or entirely) in which they play the role of multiple characters.
In the story of Jugemu, a couple is having trouble naming their newborn and the father goes to a shrine to ask a priest for an auspicious name to give to his son, with the priest suggesting Jugemu, among others. The father ends up being unable to decide on one name and picks all of them, with Jugemu's full name being
Jugemu Jugemu (寿限無 寿限無)
Gokō-no Surikire (五劫の擦り切れ)
Kaijarisuigyo-no (海砂利水魚の)
Suigyōmatsu Unraimatsu Fūraimatsu (水行末 雲来末 風来末)
Kuunerutokoro-ni Sumutokoro (食う寝る処に住む処)
Yaburakōji-no Burakōji (やぶら柑子のぶら柑子)
Paipopaipo Paipo-no Shūringan (パイポパイポ パイポのシューリンガン)
Shūringan-no Gūrindai (シューリンガンのグーリンダイ)
Gūrindai-no Ponpokopii-no Ponpokonā-no (グーリンダイのポンポコピーのポンポコナーの)
Chōkyūmei-no Chōsuke (長久命の長助)
The comedic element of the story often hinges on the performer's delivery. With Jugemu being a bit of a troublemaker, anytime a character in the story calls out to Jugemu they do so reciting his full name. In some versions of the story things also take a darker turn with events culminating in Jugemu falling into a well, river or lake, either drowning or having his parents come to the rescue just in time, with everyone passing along the news having to recite Jugemu's full name.
Why exactly did Nintendo name some dude flying on a cloud throwing spiked monsters at Mario Jugemu? idk for sure, but to speculate, Jugemu (寿限無) means "limitless life". Lakitu usually flies high enough that defeating one isn't always the easiest and even when you do, they'll reappear after a while, so if I had to guess that's probably where they got the name.
Deepest lore
Yeah, like it reminded me that in the Mario 3 manual (English version even) it does call it "Jugem's Cloud".
Ah yes, the movie where Mario gets cucked by Prince Florian.
55:47 "god i wish that were me" moment
this was DEFINITELY someone's awakening
Man that ending was so evil, also could be fun seeing the old megaman or sonic anime too but i guess this will never happen lol
the megaman ova was a lot of fun but i doubt he'll ever watch it
Vinny, this is your first time seeing this, but the community for this movie has been passionate and involved in fan works for years, even managing to get the original master reel, remaster and recolor it into 4K, and go through several translation revisions. (I helped that at one point actually as some references were originally lost in translation.)
It's only recently that some fan groups finally put together this finalized, fully remastered version, released in its entirety on RUclips, for everyone to enjoy.
I'm glad you got to experience it in its best quality now though!
12:00 For example, a pun lost in translation here is that Mario says a pun when mistakening Bowser's name, "I don't know who this Koopa, Bibimba, or whatever guy is...", as in, Koopa is the Japanese pronunciation of the Korean dish Gukbap. One of Koopa's original names was also considered to be Bibimba, another Korean dish. It was likely a coincidence, but Nintendo didn't actually mention that fact until a few years later apparently.
Just leaving this here in case I get brought back.

56:19 Unironically a cool lil' spat. Plus, it did the Bowser tail throw before 64.
Also I love how unfulfilled Vin is at the ending. Same honestly.
28:00 new monkaS emote just dropped
God I remember seeing this split up into 10-minute videos on early YT...
How could have I missed Vinny watching this legendary movie with talking Goombas?
Mario is voiced by Yamcha here. Getting cucked was inevitable.
Hated how much Yamcha sucked in DBZ, i wish hed remained their friendly neighbor bandit with a bunch of firearms he had in DB. Not that it would be useful but im not saying he had to be around so much
don't give Yamcha any sympathy points. He wasn't cucked, he got dumped for being a shitty boyfriend who was screwing around.
@@zel9999 you're a fucking dumbass for believing that bullshit, dumbfuck.
A couple things to point out. There was some music toward the beginning that was never in SMB, though heard decades later in Mario Maker and Mario Maker 2. The Koopa priest is voiced by Joji Yanami who played the skinny mechanic henchman in Tatsunoko's Time Bokan series (ie: Boyacky in "Yatterman.")
I thought that track was in super Mario vs first before being added into Mario maker?
@@graysonwells21 Super Mario Versus (vs)? Did you mean to say Super Mario DS? I never played anything on the DS, so it is completely plausible.
@@spindalis79 my mistake, the arcade game is called Vs Super Mario Bros. I believe (although I could be wrong) that the theme plays there as like the high score board theme
Indeed! "VS Super Mario Bros - Name Registration." I was wondering where it came from!

WAAAAAAIT...Maybe, just maybe... Prince Florian and Prince Haru is the same character?
