Finally, the animated film of Nintendo and Illumination Studios, Super Mario Bros. This feature film has already broken the box office record by taking in its first weekend 368 million dollars worldwidesomething that leaves in second place Frozen 2. Being a film that adapts in a certain way a universe that already has fans, it is full of references.easter eggs and things that only someone who knows the games can discover. But rest assured that geek culture We bring you five things you need to know about the movie, that you probably don’t know. Of course, we are going to talk with a little spoilers of Super Mario Bros..
The character playing arcade
In one of the first scenes of the film, a character appears with whom our protagonists end up talking. He is playing an arcade game, which is very similar in style to the original game of donkey kong only instead of this character appearing we have a yeti-like creature and the name they gave the game is jump mantitle with which it was originally going to be known to Mario.
However, despite the fact that this is a very striking reference, what interests us is who is using this arcade. And it is about a character whose name we do not know, but we do know his voice. The person in charge of interpreting this role was Charles Martinet, original voice in games Mario. Of course, this is a tribute to the franchise and a chance to hear the classic on film. “Wahoo!” of the character in the voice that we already know.
Scenes that seem taken from the game
In one of the first works of Mario and Luigi our protagonists have to run for Brooklyn after their van broke down. And it is at this moment that the animation studio took the opportunity to give us a scene that seems to be taken from the game, since the camera angle is changed to show us the characters running through a construction that imitates the side-scrolling perspective that we all know. Although this is not all since the animators put some objects such as yellow paint buckets or air conditioners that create a scene similar to World 1-1- from Super Mario Bros.
Bowser’s Piano
One of the elements of the film that left many fascinated, since it gave us to Jack Black singingis the piano of Bowser. In addition to the fact that he uses it to play songs, this instrument has a plate that not many saw but that contains a nod to the franchise. In this you can read that the person in charge of making the piano was Ludwig von Koopahe Koopalings greatest in age and powerful of all.
The local Disk-Kun
One of the places that appears in Brooklyn is a place called Disk-Kun, which has a very particular logo that some may recognize. Is about diskunthe mascot of Famicom Disk System in Japanwhich appeared in most of the manuals of this unit of Nintendo. In addition, he made small cameos in games and it seems that he managed to reach the big screen thanks to Super Mario Bros.
franchise songs
Finally, there are several scenes where songs from the franchise that we all know and love are used, but there are two that are worth highlighting. One of the first to appear is the “denum, denum, denum” which in games is used when Mario It is found in some underground after entering through one of the pipes. And of course this song makes its appearance when the brothers go into the depths of Brooklyn. Another of the songs that appears is that of the luigi’s mansionhummed by Brian Tylerthe actor who voices the character, when Luigi first falls into the badlands.
Of course there are many more references, easter egg and things you probably don’t know about Super Mario Brosbut in order to cover all of them we are going to have to wait for the movie to come out in DVD or digital format to be able to see it as many times as we want and stop it every time we notice something.
