#WARIO AND WALUIGI OF WII PLAY TANKS MOVIE#
As a handy ally who helps Mario defeat enemies and reach greater heights, it would be a shame if Yoshi didn’t “mlem” to the rescue in the “Super Mario Bros.” movie Mario’s green companion first appeared in 1990’s “Super Mario World” and has since played a key role in games such as “Super Mario 64,” “Sunshine” and “Galaxy 2.” Of course, Yoshi also hatched his own franchise of quirky video games. It wouldn’t be a true Mario movie without Nintendo’s favorite fruit-eating, egg-laying, flutter-jumping dinosaur. as a character could also give some dimension to Bowser what kind of father is he? And more importantly, who is Bowser Jr.’s mother? Plus, the lesser known Koopalings - Larry, Morton, Wendy, Iggy, Roy, Lemmy and Ludwig, could also play a future role in a larger Koopa family. The mini villain has been a thorn in Mario’s side in many games, and the combination of him and his much bigger dad could be a formidable threat to the Mushroom Kingdom. in a cameo role, or potentially in a sequel.

Jack Black is voicing Bowser in the “Super Mario Bros.” film, which leads perfectly to the introduction of Bowser Jr.

Based on more modern adventures, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Bee Mario or Cat Mario, which was featured prominently in the most recent 3D outing, “Bowser’s Fury.” For some real invincibility in the battle against Bowser, we recommend a Metal Mushroom to become Metal Mario. Maybe he’ll pick up a Super Leaf and go Tanooki mode, or a star and become shiny and invincible. Since the trailer shows Mario reaching for a mushroom, before Toad scares the life out of him, it’s not hard to imagine the Italian plumber eating some for super-sized strength. Power-ups are vital to every “Mario” game, allowing the plumber to grow, shrink, fly or throw fireballs with the help of some magic items. And if these two characters were to pop up in a follow-up movie, they’d better have some unexpected A-list actors attached (here’s hoping for the Danny DeVito and Steve Buscemi). And there can’t be Wario without Waluigi - the purple antithesis to Luigi. He would make a worthy co-antagonist with Bowser, or he could even steal the spotlight in a sequel. The “Mario” video games have countless characters, worlds and power-ups to pull into the movie, so what other Easter Eggs could be hiding in the animated film? Could Wario or Waluigi be surprise villains alongside Bowser in the movie? Could Mario pick up a fire flower or ride a Yoshi? Here are some video game elements we hope are included in the film, or perhaps in a sequel.Įvery hero needs an evil doppelgänger, and Wario is about as iconic as you can get in the Mario world - heck, even in pop culture in general. There are still plenty more characters, like Donkey Kong, Peach and Cranky Kong, to unveil, but “Super Mario Bros.” already looks more promising that most video game movies. Bowser’s flying, fiery castle looked hotter than ever, and characters like Toad, Luigi, Kamek, the Koopa Troopas and Dry Bones were finally brought to life on the big screen. It wasn’t quite Mario or Italian, and it mostly sounded a lot like Pratt’s normal voice.īut besides Mario’s voice, fans of the video games got to see the Mushroom Kingdom in vibrant animation. And, well, Pratt’s Mario voice got mixed results.


After months of waiting, Nintendo fans were finally treated to the first look at the animated “Super Mario Bros.” movie from Illumination, the animation studio behind “Minions” and “Despicable Me.” Anxious anticipation has been building ever since the “Mario” movie was first announced, but perhaps nothing was more hyped than hearing Chris Pratt voice Mario for the very first time.
