The movie

This
great Mario mission
allows you to immerse yourself in the genesis of the duo formed by Mario and his brother Luigi.
But not only !
We discover the origin of all the little characters, even the most insignificant like the bloups (the white octopuses).
All this punctuated by music and sound effects taken directly from the game. A total immersion in Princess Peach's rescue mission, the outcome of which will surely surprise you...
A rediscovery of the characters
Fans of the game will also be surprised to discover the Mario-Luigi duo like never before.
If the famous mustachioed plumber appears to us as someone brave and courageous, his brother Luigi is much less sympathetic.
Presented as venal, his priority is to amass as much gold and coins as possible.
But his role is just as crucial as Mario, because he brings his share of clumsiness and therefore new twists.
The character who reveals himself during this hour of film is indeed Peach.
The princess appears clever and more combative than in games where she spends her time being captured.
A strong woman far from the not very smart woman.
She does not wisely wait in her high tower for King Koopa (Bowser) to marry her by force.
Regarding the latter, we do not really know if we should hate him or pity him.
The Bowser in the film has no charisma, but seems genuinely in love with the princess.
He appears less mean than his henchmen, he just looks like a spoiled child who hasn't had his toy...
While a new opus of the adventures of Mario will be released on consoles at the end of the year according to the boss of Nintendo, this film offers the perfect opportunity to wait.
