0

Nintendo and Illumination put out a new trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, featuring Peach, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Mario, Toad, and Bowser!

This time around we get a two-minute trailer showing off more characters and key events in the movie, including getting to hear Anya Taylor-Joy’s Peach, Charlie Day’s Luigi, and more of Keegan-Michael Key’s Toad alongside Mario and Bowser.

The trailer is packed with a bunch of references we can expect too, from referencing the original Donkey Kong game to Mario Kart, and many more characters and powerups from the original NES platformers!

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is set to premiere in theatres on April 7 2023.

What Was Shown in the New Trailer

The new Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer had a lot of stuff packed in just two minutes, lets take a look at what was shown off in the trailer with the new characters!

At the start of the trailer, we see Mario and DK battling it out in an arena with a huge crowd. Before the fight starts, Mario of course says “Let’s-a go” before DK grabs Mario and slaps the taste out of him

An interesting detail in the Super Mario Bros trailer is that the arena they’re fighting on is based on the layout of the original Donkey Kong game, with barrels and a ladder on the right to climb up to the platforms!

Then in the trailer, we see Bowser talking to Luigi who is suspended in the air unable to move. This shows us that while Mario was out training and preparing, Luigi was actually trapped and stuck with Bowser while he gets tortured for information on Mario.

There’s also a brief shot of Bowser’s army with the various Koopas and variants of them. We even get a glimpse of bob-ombs, Goombas, Pirahna Plant and the Shyguys!

A quick shot shows Mario and Luigi before they came to the Mushroom Kingdom where appropriately, the Mario brothers worked jobs as plumbers, sticking to that piece of lore about them.

We also get a look at the map and various zones of the game, with Bowser’s Koopa kingdom on the top side overtaking the Penguin Kingdom, and what looks like DK’s jungle in the middle. Since DK stands between the Mushroom Kingdom and Bowser’s castle, it’s likely that the gang has to travel past that first to get to Bowser, hence why Mario is even fighting Dk in the first place.

Then a shot comes in later of Peach preparing for war against Bowser, this time wielding a halberd. There’s also a cute little nod to Captain Toad, with Toad by herself carrying a backpack with a rope, lamp, compass, frying pan, and other tools.

And the trailer wraps itself up with some more gameplay references, with Mario’s training montage on a level designed by Peach, and a preview of the Tanuki suit and fire flower. It’s neat that the trailer shows Peach getting the power up, with the flame from the flower slowly travelling from it to her hands.

And of course, it wouldn’t be a Super Mario movie without one last Wahoo. The shot shows an entire army of Monkeys from DK’s jungle following Mario, Peach, and Toad on Karts with weapons, suggesting that maybe the final battle has everyone taking the fight to Bowser’s castle by riding Rainbow Road straight to him!
