Talk:The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Article title
Is the name "Untitled Mario Film" used elsewhere or is it a conjectural name? If the latter, should we put a conjecture template on it? 16:11, September 24, 2021 (EDT)
 * It's not really being used as a proper name, it's just the most accurate description we have for the subject. I wouldn't necessarily call this "conjectural". -- 16:56, September 24, 2021 (EDT)
 * Yeah. "Untitled Mario movie" does not indulge in guesses, so I think marking it as conjectural would seem a little weird. By that token, though, shouldn't the similarly descriptive titles we give other subjects in the absence of official sources be exempt from that template as well? Where do we draw a hard line? 17:29, September 24, 2021 (EDT)

More Roles for all characters appeared in animated movie
All casts of all characters won't be incomplete. They have more roles of characters in animated film. Including Wario, Waluigi, Princess Daisy, Yoshi, Rosalina, Pauline, Toadette, King Boo, Goomba, Lakitu, Bowser Jr., Wiggler, Big Bully, Sidestepper, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Funky Kong, Spiny, Cheep Chomp, Thwomp, Koopalings (Larry, Morton, Wendy, Iggy, Roy, Lemmy, & Ludwig), Koopa, etc.
 * Do you have a source for this? 08:43, December 3, 2021 (EST)
 * Did it also say if Monty Mole was in the movie or not? Also, what source did you even use like what Swallow said? MontyMoleLoreMaster (talk) 09:04, December 3, 2021 (EST)

Locations in animated movie
All locations at the animated film included Peach's Castle, Bowser's Castle, Plains, Luigi's Mansion, etc.
 * Firstly, please sign your comments with four ~. Secondly, I asked in the section above where you are getting this information. 09:13, December 3, 2021 (EST)

In the current "locations" section, the jungle kingdom is missing a description that all the other locations seem to have.

Mario will appear as a balloon to advertise his upcoming movie.
Mario joins the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade as a balloon. They have a hunch that Mario would appear as a balloon to advertise his upcoming movie. The lead character balloon for the 96th Annual Macy's Parade is Mario and was behind University of Missouri Marching Mizzou nor South Dakota State University Pride of the Dakotas Band at the beginning of the 96th Annual Macy's Parade.
 * That's just baseless speculation and won't be included here. -- 12:02, December 3, 2021 (EST)

Move
Shouldn't this be moved to Super Mario Bros. (Film 2023) because in Nintendo's most recent tweet about the movie (the one about it getting delayed) they call it the Super Mario Bros. Film and the Mario Movie from 1993 could be moved to Super Mario Bros. (Film 1993) and just the page Super Mario Bros. (Film) could be moved to Super Mario Bros. (Film) (disambiguation). I&#39;manumber1 (talk) 14:53, April 30, 2022 (EDT)
 * Let's wait for an official title before we talk about this, OK. DK Fan

Should I at least make Super Mario Bros (2023 Film) a redirect? I&#39;manumber1 (talk) 17:50, May 11, 2022 (EDT)

Okay I've understood this before but now we pretty much have to. The Movie is under the name "Super Mario Bros. (2023)* on Roku TV search. It's tags read "Animated | Comedy | Adventure". It has the placeholder Roku image on it and the description reads "The further adventures of Mario and Luigi." This should be added to the article. I&#39;manumber1 (talk) 18:28, June 1, 2022 (EDT)

Toys
The Mario Movie toys got leaked! Shouldn't that be mentioned in the article. I know that the wiki usually doesn't trust leaks (and I know they won't put the leak Nintendo dmca'd on reddit) because they could be fake but this has actual evidence. nintendolife.com/news/2022/02/the-upcoming-super-mario-movie-is-getting-its-own-range-of-toys I&#39;manumber1 (talk) 18:24, May 12, 2022 (EDT)
 * He's actually correct on this. I'm surprised! 10:57, January 04, 2023 (CST)

Move to Super Mario Bros. (2023 Film)
Nintendo themselves have called the Mario Movie the "Super Mario Bros. Film" and on Roku search the movie goes under the name "Super Mario Bros. (2023)* therefore it should be moved to Super Mario Bros. (2023 Film).

Proposer: Deadline: June 18, 2022, 23:59 GMT

Move

 * 1) Per proposal.

Do Nothing

 * 1) It's a placeholder.
 * 2) I can't trust what Roku thinks the title of this movie likely because it could be a placeholder title, nor can we know what Nintendo thinks is the title of this movie. Best to wait it out through official material instead.
 * 3) Per PanchamBro, we should wait until we have a definitively confirmed title.
 * 4) - If it ends up changed, that's just extra work - what is the point?
 * 5) Roku doesn't seem like a valid source from what everyone else is saying.
 * 6) Per all.
 * 7) Per all.
 * 8) Per all.

Comments
"Film" shouldn't be capitalized in the identifier. -- 17:06, June 4, 2022 (EDT)

Where have Nintendo used that title? 17:10, June 4, 2022 (EDT)

When they tweeted about delaying the movie they said Super Mario Bros. Film. I&#39;manumber1 (talk) 21:09, June 4, 2022 (EDT)

I told you, I think we should wait for an official title. DK Fan

On Roku Search it's called Super Mario Bros. (2023)* I&#39;manumber1 (talk) 21:37, June 4, 2022 (EDT)

On Roku TVs. I&#39;manumber1 (talk) 21:38, June 4, 2022 (EDT)

I think it's just a placeholder. DK Fan

Is Roku TV an authoritative source? I'm not seeing Wikipedia change the name either, but I can't say for sure if Wikipedia is the type that would immediately scour sources for these films. 20:11, June 5, 2022 (EDT)

Confirmed title?
According to tomorrow's Nintendo Direct presentation, the video's title and thumbnail states the title "The Super Mario Bros. Movie". This is most likely the film's confirmed title, as Nintendo has not referred to it as this in the past. --NintendoFan08 (talk) 11:50, October 6, 2022 (EDT)
 * Actually, it's since the time we discovered that Spike was voiced by Maniscalco that we know the title: he said "Super Mario Brothers movie". But let's wait till the actual title is published, since it might be just "Super Mario Bros." which will push us to fix all the links for the previous movie. -- 16:06, October 5, 2022 (EDT)
 * It's likely just the name of the presentation, since the official Universal page still labels it as untitled. 07:35, October 6, 2022 (EDT)

it's been leaked, it is called The Super Mario Bros. Movie, there's a calender leaked and a logo was included with it. 11:40, October 6, 2022 (EDT)
 * I wouldn't fully rely on leaks. There's supposed to be a presentation today so hopefully we'll have a proper title after that. 11:47, October 6, 2022 (EDT)
 * I'd argue that the logo leak is definitely credible as a leak, but I don't think we should move the article now. No official source has come out for the movie's title yet. 13:20, October 6, 2022 (EDT)

The presentation is in a few hours so I think we should just wait until the name is official revealed in that. --Killer Moth (talk) 12:18, October 6, 2022 (EDT)

Looks like the confirmed title is: The Super Mario Bros. Movie --KoolKoopa (talk) 16:18, October 6, 2022 (EDT)

UK release date seemingly confirmed
On the official British Universal website, the film is listed as releasing in March. 16:41, October 6, 2022 (EDT)
 * its also listed as April 27th, not April 28th, on the official Illumination upload of the trailer. 16:47, October 6, 2022 (EDT)

"Foreign dubs" section
A version of the trailer dubbed in Finnish has also been uploaded by Universal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_Gku9MhwMc

Question about the "Foreign dubs" section
It's written "The cast list for the dubs has not yet been released". You mean we'll have to list also the foreign dubs VAs? If yes, why did we not do the same in other medias' pages (or at the very list in their own staff list pages)? -- 09:17, October 7, 2022 (EDT)
 * In my opinion they should be listed on the other ones just no one has done that yet. Though the other cast lists might be best on their own page since it would become really big --Zachruff (talk) 10:11, October 7, 2022 (EDT)
 * Well, there would be just the dubbers and the dubbing directors to add. The animated series didn't have many dubbings, so it's safe to assume it would be easier, but I'll admit we should go for something like List of Power Moon names in other languages, that got its own page having to deal with the translations, but we also have stuff like WarioWare Gold that has the foreign cast as well. If we get more "ok"s, I'll gladly start to add our share of Italian dubbers and dubbing directors. -- 10:24, October 7, 2022 (EDT)
 * I think you could just go and do it, not sure if there is anyone there to like give the OK --Zachruff (talk) 10:26, October 7, 2022 (EDT)
 * Yeah, but, again, how? Adding it to the staff list or its own page for foreign stuff? -- 10:30, October 7, 2022 (EDT)

High-quality HD logo
The logo for The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

I'm not entirely sure how to upload images at the moment, but this is the best I can do. NintendoFan08 (talk) 13:59, October 7, 2022 (EDT)

Yeah, I have no idea what I'm doing. It would be nice if someone could help though.


 * That's an image rendered high-quality by AI. I don't think we need to have that here. The image should be uploaded without any modifications attached. 17:44, October 7, 2022 (EDT)

Trivia

 * When Kamek appears, little symbols similar to the ones he makes in the game can be seen by zooming in.
 * After Bowser's last appearance and before Mario's first appearance in the teaser trailer, the start of the intro from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! plays.
 * Before Mario touches a blue mushroom that Toad is hiding behind, a sound effect made by a Strollin' Stu from Super Mario Sunshine can be heard, although the sound is very faint.
 * During the scene where the penguins are fighting back against Bowser and the snowball from their catapult hits a Koopa Troopa, next to the knocked out Koopa Troopa is one wearing a blue shell and amour with spikes referencing the Spiny Shell from the Mario Kart series.
 * A fortress can be seen in the background as Mario looks around after landing in the Mushroom Kingdom.
 * The classic Warp Pipe sound effect plays when Mario is shot out of the green Warp Pipe for the first time.
 * The | IMDb page for the film incorrectly lists it as “Super Mario Bros.: The Movie”.

NintendoFan08 (talk) 07:51, October 8, 2022 (EDT)


 * About the 2nd one: isn't more simply the Super Mario Bros.'s main theme? I don't hear a keyboard playing those notes, I hear 8bit About the 4th one: we already noticed it and pointed it out multiple times in the gallery and the Spiny Shell page. -- 12:20, October 9, 2022 (EDT)


 * In the trailer(the official one, not the teaser), you can hear an arrangement of part of the SMB1 ground theme at the end. 15:33, December 19, 2022 (CST)

Eric Bauza in the cast?
According to the The Super Mario Bros. Movie article on Wikipedia, Eric Bauza is in the cast for the film, although it is currently unknown which character he is playing. NintendoFan08 (talk) 08:00, October 8, 2022 (EDT)
 * We already listed Bauza in the cast, since in his twitter he hinted his presence and that he was the trembling Koopa in the teaser. -- 12:22, October 9, 2022 (EDT)
 * Don't worry, I'm aware. I created this section before I saw he was included, so it was purely a mistake. NintendoFan08 (talk) 15:10, October 12, 2022 (EDT)

Brooklyn
is it worth mentioning that Brooklyn is mentioned on this image for the film? (the green signs in the background) 16:41, November 29, 2022 (EST)
 * As worth as mentioning that this image isn't yet confirmed to be legit. -- 17:27, November 29, 2022 (EST)

More Kongs
https://twitter.com/supermariomovie/status/1597757384817971205

If you look in the lower right you can see Dixie, Donkey, Swanky and DK Jr. in the crowd. Tigerman500 (talk) 20:10, November 29, 2022 (EST)
 * I see Dixie, Diddy(you called him Donkey), & Swanky, but where's DK Jr.? I can't see him. 13:47, December 15, 2022 (CST)
 * The most recognition I see from the Kongs in the audience are... the Swanky persona from DKC2 (near the actual Swanky in the poster) having the same shirt, even tho the hairstyle is different; I see a top of the poster a Kong with the same clothes as Chunky, some old ladies from the trailer shots gave big Wrinkly from DKC3 vibes and both trailer and poster I see some Kongs with white pants that makes me think of Kong Fu from the cartoon (please tell me a Bluster Kong will appear in the movie, also). But 100%, Funky, Diddy, Dixie, Swanky and Kiddie. I don't see any more recognized Kongs. -- 18:12, December 15, 2022 (EST)
 * Thank you, but that doesn't take care of where DK Jr. is in the poster. ( Why is this not answered?(2023 Edit)) 8:38, December 19, 2022 (CST)
 * The one in the white vest in front of Diddy and Dixie. 09:25, January 25, 2023 (EST)
 * Ya sure? That looks more like Funky: you can kinda see some googles and, very closely, even a headgear. 12:37, January 25, 2023 (EST)
 * From the rate this is going, next someone is gonna say that they see Chunky Kong. 08:10, February 1, 2023 (CST)

Bramball
I'm unable to edit the actual page so putting this here: a Bramball can be seen in the background of Mario's character poster, just to the left of Mario's hat. Milkmancer (talk) 23:19, November 29, 2022 (EST)

Can someone add Argentina to the release dates of the movie?
Hello, some days ago I decided to create my account because I noticed Argentina is missing in the release dates from the other countries of Latin America, but sadly the page cannot be edited by anyone. Can someone do this little addition?


 * Added. --PhGuy12 (talk) 21:01, February 1, 2023 (EST)

Can someone change the release date of South Korea?
UPI Korea, the official South Korean distributor of Universal Pictures, changed the release date to April 26th, and still didn't update it on official site, but it was reported to some trailers for South Korean movie theaters and detailed page from reservation sites. could someone change the release date of South Korea to April 26th? (sorry for bad english.) https://www.lottecinema.co.kr/NLCMW/Movie/MovieDetailView?movie=19168


 * Website doesn't seem to be loading for me. 20:01, February 21, 2023 (EST)


 * Maybe foreign IP can't go in. I will send you a link to the picture I posted on Twitter instead. (Please understand that all the languages shown in the picture are Korean.) https://twitter.com/m4m4mi4pn/status/1628239505588391937?t=MWQi0WRTrsqdaUSYBZ6mcg&s=32 Pinknin (talk) 23:03, February 21, 2023 (EST)


 * Thanks, it's been changed. 02:07, February 22, 2023 (EST)
 * It's been three weeks and the official website still hasn't changed. After the recent date changes, it still seems the South Korean date is undecided. I moved it back to the unconfirmed May date.--Platform (talk) 07:27, March 5, 2023 (EST)


 * Sorry for the late reply. I think they finally changed the date to April 26. maybe they were going to change it when the final trailer came out. https://www.universalpictureskr.com/ https://youtu.be/4jhz2NU-24Q Pinknin (talk) 18:33, March 9, 2023 (EST)

Evidence of Koopalings in the movie.
I found a source revealing that Koopalings will be appearing. https://mobile.twitter.com/GreshamKayden/status/1630428385552760832?cxt=HHwWgICwic7-uKAtAAAA Its not false information. Where's my Bowser Jr., Princess Daisy, Yoshi, Rosalina, Wario, Waluigi, Diddy Kong, King K. Rool, Birdo, King Boo and more?


 * It's plausible they could appear, we yet have to see many of the characters like Spike, Lumalee and Pauline, but I would take this with a grain of salt: maybe they're just performing to be fitting for Bowser's parade cart: not only that, but the Mario, Bowser and Piranha Plant on the cart are clearly the ones from the games, not the movie: look at the Piranha's stem not being life-like or Bowser's shoulders not being gradient colorized. -- 03:39, March 1, 2023 (EST)

OK. Wario and Waluigi seem the most likely for a post-credits scene if they don't appear with a big role. MarioBobfan2007&#39;snewaccount (talk) 20:26, March 1, 2023 (EST)
 * Please keep discussion about the subject matter to a minimum, use our forum to conduct speculation about the movie. 21:29, March 1, 2023 (EST)

Can someone add the Chinese release date for the movie from the article?
It was announced on Deadline that the movie would be released in China on April 5th. https://deadline.com/2023/02/the-super-mario-bros-movie-china-release-date-1235272790/

16:49, March 2, 2023 (EST)

Can someone add the Spain release date for the movie from the article?
I saw on the Universal Spain twitter that it will be released on April 5th. 191.115.14.17

https://twitter.com/Universal_Spain/status/1630599810922283012


 * 👍 21:19, March 3, 2023 (EST)

Can we add Princess Daisy on the list?
There's a character on Rainbow Road who has to be her, and here's a picture. MarioBobfan2007&#39;snewaccount (talk)
 * Not clear enough to tell, and we shouldn't until it is made fully clear. 15:13, March 4, 2023 (EST)
 * Daisy's logo DOES appear, in the first poster, in a corner of the fruit shop price sign. -- 16:38, March 4, 2023 (EST)
 * Doesn't necessarily confirm she's in it, could just be a cameo or something. 16:55, March 4, 2023 (EST)
 * Of coursissimo, but that logo was worth mentioning. -- 18:23, March 4, 2023 (EST)
 * Late response but, Daisy does not appear in the film at all. 17:01, May 6, 2023 (EDT)

Evidence for Wario in the movie.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/039dwqazphg. Also, most fans speculate that Wario and Waluigi will be in a post-credits (the most likely characters to appear in a post-credits scene if they don't have a big role are Rosalina, the Lumas, Bowser Jr., Larry Koopa, Morton Koopa Jr., Wendy O. Koopa, Iggy Koopa, Roy Koopa, Lemmy Koopa, Ludwig von Koopa, King Boo, Wart, King K. Rool and Dry Bowser) scene for a sequel and the fact that he designated to appear, so... MarioBobfan2007&#39;snewaccount (talk) 21:57, March 10, 2023 (EST)
 * It doesn't look like Chris Pratt was specifically referring to the movie, most likely he was referring to Mario games in general. We also don't include any fan speculation in articles. 22:03, March 10, 2023 (EST)
 * I doubt it. Wario is more of a spin-off character than anything, but I’ll be surprised what strings Universal and Nintendo can pull together. 04:44, April 2, 2023 (EDT)

It seems that the Korean dubbing has been confirmed.
It has been confirmed that Mario and Luigi's Korean voice call comes out when you press the wrench icon in the upper right corner of the Korean version of the SMB plumbing site.(https://www.smbplumbing.co.kr/) https://twitter.com/zonnasaranghemz/status/1634020061454430211?s=20 Pinknin (talk) 03:47, March 11, 2023 (EST)

"The dark lands"
For what's worth it, it appears to be literally called "Dark Land" in the movie. "ダークランド" in Japanese, which doesn't match the JP SMB3 names, but it's something. --Trogga (talk) 10:52, March 11, 2023 (EST)

 * IMDb isn't an authority on official media. Information on that website is updated entirely by anyone who can create an account on there, so it's no more reliable than the average user-contributed website, such as Mario Wiki. If IMDb cites anything such as a studio's press release or an actor's claim, you should turn to those for an actual source. 18:08, March 23, 2023 (EDT)

More cast members in Spain
Can anyone add these actors in the European Spanish dub list? Agustinhr04 (talk) 11:46, March 28, 2023 (EDT)


 * Laura Pastor as Princess Peach

 * David Robles as Toad

Diamond-Patterned Blocks
Super Mario 3D World is cited as the origin of the diamond-patterned blocks (in "References to other media"), and their design does seem to carry over from this game, but don't they first appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii? Jumbo Ray (talk) 01:24, April 12, 2023 (EDT)

Brazilian Cast
Can someone that these voice actors in the Brazilian Portuguese section? Agustinhr04 (talk) 14:37, March 31, 2023 (EDT)

 * Eduardo Drummond as Toad
 * Pedro Azevedo as Donkey Kong
 * Ricardo Juarez as Kamek
 * Monique Filardy as Lumalee

Correction on the Brazilian Portuguese section
Marco Ribeiro isn't voicing Kamek. It's Ricardo Juarez, which Manolo Rey confirmed on Twitter. Agustinhr04 (talk) 15:52, March 31, 2023 (EDT)


 * Ricardo Juarez voiced Kamek only in the commercial. Universal confirmed by email that he is voiced by Marco Ribeiro in the movie. --PhGuy12 (talk) 16:02, March 31, 2023 (EDT)

Film premiere
As you know, today is the red carpet premiere of the Super Mario Bros. Movie. Barring any Gettyimages photos (which have those eyesore watermarks), should we include a section containing photos of the red carpet and the cast and crew involved? This is gonna take some serious consideration, but I have some screenshots of the premiere already. But maybe there are some better quality photos some users here can upload. 04:41, April 2, 2023 (EDT)

One question about the cast lists in different languages
Can someone order the cast lists (except English and Japanese) alphabetically? Agustinhr04 (talk) 21:25, April 2, 2023 (EDT)

Co-Directors
I just found out that the film was co-directed by two workers from Illumination. Pierre Leduc and Fabien Polack. They helped Aaron and Michael with the film. We should credit them as well. Bmaster2020 (talk) 20:08, April 6, 2023 (EDT)

Pauline
also has dialogue; if we're listing minor speaking roles in the voice cast, she should be included alongside Diddy. 73.171.36.107 22:28, April 8, 2023 (EDT)

lol never mind, the edit wasn't showing on my end, i see her now 73.171.36.107 22:30, April 8, 2023 (EDT)

Bomber Bill whimpering
When Tanooki Mario tail whips the Bomber Bill's eye, it whimpers in a fashion vaguely similar to how Chain Chomps and Chain Chomplets whimper in certain games like Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Odyssey, though the sounds are not exactly the same. Does anyone recognize this sound effect and where it might have originated from or if it is a completely original sound effect? Jumbo Ray (talk) 01:23, April 12, 2023 (EDT)

Characters, Enemies, Blocks, Items, Objects, Transformations, and more
Does anyone else think that, as more images start rolling in from The Super Mario Bros. Movie it would be a good idea to have more elaborate "Cast List" and "Items and objects" sections, like those used on the Wiki pages for the Super Mario games? Tables could be added with pictures and descriptions of the functions and roles of characters, enemies, blocks, items, objects, transformations, etc. that appear in the film. Jumbo Ray (talk) 01:42, April 12, 2023 (EDT)

I think Koopa General should be in character list. He's the most important Bowser's soldier and second most important Bowser's assisant after Kamek.

Wave Race Reference to Add
During the news report on the flooding in Brooklyn's Streets, the ticker tape reads that an "R. Hayami" has won this year's "Wave Race". I've seen the movie twice, and while I missed it the first time, it was mentioned on TV Tropes, so I went in my second viewing looking for it. Sure enough, it was visible. Anyone who can verify its validity, please add this to the references to other media section.

,

Plot
There’s been a error in the plot of the film. In the plot, it said that 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. But she already explains it in the training course. Along their travels, Peach explains to Mario that she doesn’t know where she comes from. All she knows is that she came to the Mushroom Kingdom as Baby Peach and grew up there as an princesss. Bmaster2020 (talk) 14:59, April 13, 2023 (EDT)

Should we remade the characters list section?
...to make it look more like the species and other characters sections? With a table of contents with images, description (maybe a column with the English and Japanese dubbers)? I'm asking it because I don't wanna mess up with the "transcludesection" template -- 06:31, May 2, 2023 (EDT)

Japanese is available in select North American theaters please add to article
https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/26/23699024/super-mario-bros-movie-japanese-dub-screening

Film plot article
I kinda already said this before, but I will add it here. The plot section of this page is very long and detailed. How would a separate article involving the film's plot work in this case? We also have a lot of screenshots in the film's gallery, which is partly what prompted me to make this proposal and give those screenshots better use beyond being a gallery photo. After all, the Mario Bros. say "neatness counts" and perhaps we can find a solution to avoid all the clutter. 17:07, May 6, 2023 (EDT)

Like father and son
There’s something strange about cranky and Donkey Kong Donkey Kong was Cranky’s son I I thought Donkey Kong Junior would be cranky’s son And Donkey Kong’s Father was Donkey Kong Jr. What’s up with that?

Officially, Cranky is Junior's father, and (most prominently) [modern] DK's grandfather. In the movie, they just cut the middle man for simplicity, and not to follow any canon (a bit like Brooklyn, even tho the recent games are pretty clear that the Marios were always part of the "Mushroom World"). Although, I want to point out that in the Italian version of the two books (Official Storybook and Mario's Big Adventure), DK is referred to as Cranky's grandson (I presume due to the movie material not revealing yet their relationship, so the translator went with the game version). 19:29, May 7, 2023 (EDT)
