Yes! Key might have stolen the show as Toad.
My favorite Toad line was when he and DK were arguing about whether Peach would go out with Mario
"I guarantee you, I guarantee you she would!"

Saw it with the kids this afternoon. Honestly it was pretty meh. Lego movie was a much better toy adaptation.

But how long did it take to pass the box office total of the 1993 Mario Bros movie?Brian Earl Spilner said:
This became the highest grossing video game adaptation of all time domestically in just five days, beating out Sonic 2's total of $190M.
Put in a few 100 more races like I did and you can start beating the kids.NoahAg said:
Ain't gonna lie. I thought it was pretty great. I'm typically disappointed by animated movies. I'm glad they just kept it simple and didn't try to contrive some unexplored depth of Mario's psyche. Just fun.
My "Mario history" is essentially original NES, NES 3 (never liked 2), and Super Mario Wii with my kids. So the story was perfect for me. Never played N64 and I suck at Mario Cart.

Saw it with the family. Everyone loved it. The storyline wasn't much but the action scenes, music, and animation were awesome. No wokeness at all. Very enjoyable.

Also, something I find interesting: Apparently Italian Americans are one of the few groups of people that you can safely stereotype in film and not get any backlash.

Less obvious Easter eggs I remember seeing:
-Blue collar guy in NYC was the guy from the wrecking crew games
-Game and watch character was on a van in NYC
-Pizza place was named after the Punch Out game and also showed Mike Tyson on the wall
-Pizza place arcade cabinet was "Jump Man" which was Mario's original name
-Mario's cell phone ringtone was the GameCube startup music
-Bar in NYC was using the duck hunt duck in their logo
-Ice climber bear made an appearance
-Mario's voice actor from the games was voicing the Mario superfan
-Balloon Fight had a cameo, but can't remember if it was in NYC or the Mushroom Kingdom
-King Bob-omb, I believe King Boo, and some of the bowser assistant mini-bosses from Super Mario World were at the wedding
-Piano was named after one of the bowser assistant mini-bosses from Super Mario World
-DK chant at beginning of DK/Mario showdown came from the DK rap in the N64 game. This track was written by Grant Kirkhope, who also wrote the music for Banjo Kazooie, Goldeneye (the game), and the more recent Mario vs Rabbids games
What else did you catch?

-in the beginning they scroll by an antiques store and you hear a young voice say "how do you make this
work" and the shop clerk says "you blow into it". apparently the kid was holding an old game cartridge
-in the mario kart scene on the rainbow road mario spots and takes the shortcut where you jump off the road to the road below.
