Wahoo! The world’s most famous plumber is back in an all-new film.
This month, Nintendo fans of all ages can look forward to seeing The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which is based on the iconic video game series. Mario first appeared in the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong. Despite being one of the most popular video game characters in history, there hasn’t been a full-length animated film about Mario since 1986.
In 1993, there was a live-action Super Mario film, but it was unsuccessful. The film’s reception disappointed Nintendo, and the company wasn’t willing to let Mario return to the big screen. However, Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario, met the CEO of Illumination in 2015. Miyamoto felt that the studio behind the Minions movies shared his vision for Mario and agreed to let them produce a new animated film.
Most of the plot details have been kept secret, but we know that King Bowser wants to take over the world. It’s up to our heroes, namely Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach, to explore the magical Mushroom Kingdom to stop the King of the Koopas. The film is also a musical and includes several funny songs throughout the feature.

1993 年曾有一部真人版瑪利歐電影，但它沒有成功。大家對這 部電影的反應讓任天堂感到失望，也使得該公司不願讓瑪利歐重返大 銀幕。然而，瑪利歐的創造者宮本茂，在 2015 年與照明娛樂的執行 長會面。宮本認為對於瑪利歐，小小兵背後的電影公司與他看法一 致，並同意讓他們製作一部新的動畫電影。
