Nintendo’s mascot – Mario debuted as a character in the game Donkey Kong in July 1981. After that it got his own game under the Nintendo banner. The arcade game Mario Bros. came out in 1983 which had Mario as one of the primary characters in the game. The successor of this game was Super Mario Bros. that came out in 1985. The success of these games lead to the games being converted into a franchise. It is now the central series of the greater franchise. At least one SM game has been released for every major Nintendo video game console. The success and influence of this game has been undeniable on pop culture. The game has been very impressionable on 90s kids. So much so that it became a huge IP, even outside the games.
The movies started to come, the first one being in 1993 – Super Mario Bros. Now films were always a hit or a miss. So, for a while we’ve not been getting any Mario film until it was announced that there is a new movie which would by definition would be reboot is coming out next year. What was surprising is the cast that the film has, especially Chris Pratt playing Mario and Anya Taylor-Joy plays Princess Peach. The film released its first teaser at the New York Comic Con. The teaser had an overall positive reaction except for Chris Pratt’s voice as Mario. As that is an extremely big part of the film, it went all downhill from there as the film was relentlessly trolled. Months after this mess, the makers of the film are releasing the official trailer for the film, when? Let’s find out.

That was just a stick of fun, that whole thing,” Key stated. “I was working on the voice with my partner and trying to find the voice through the internal journey of the character. And then with the directors [Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic], we sprinkled some things in, we moved it around.”
