Nintendo debuts first 'Super Mario Bros. Movie' trailer (The Washington Post)

Films have often been rupture points for mimetic breakthroughs on the internet. They're like volcanoes that erupt, shifting the meme landscape to its ...

[Nintendo has admitted](https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/10/mario-s-film-folly-the-true-story-behind-hollywood-s-biggest-gaming-blunder.aspx) to having a hands-off approach to previous movie iterations of its intellectual property. While it’s not that implausible for these two to appear in this film — they frequently appear in Mario spinoff games — the Kongs’ appearance has fans speculating as to Nintendo’s intentions. The trailer follows the release of the movie’s first official poster, which has been heavily scrutinized by fans. The voice cast was unveiled last year by series creator Shigeru Miyamoto in a very matter-of-fact presentation, and internet denizens erupted in laughter and shock as soon as Pratt’s smoldering headshot appeared on screen. The film appears to show Mario’s first arrival to the Mushroom Kingdom, mirroring the “isekai” tradition of Japanese science fiction storytelling, where a stranger from another land magically teleports into another unfamiliar world for adventure. The trailer features Bowser — with an unsurprisingly spirited performance by Jack Black — attacking the nation of penguins, who famously appeared in the level Cool, Cool Mountain in “Super Mario 64.” In a fight that’s over in seconds, Bowser asks who could dare challenge him.

The “Mario” theme song twinkles in the background as he awakens to find Toad. The “Mario” movie was announced in September 2021 with an original December 2022 release date, but the film has since been delayed to April 27, 2023. Toad leads Mario through the valley of gigantic mushrooms, with Princess Peach’s castle looming in the distance. He burns down the icy castle and takes control of a “Mario” star power-up. In a new scene, Mario flies through a green pipe into the Mushroom Kingdom, where he bounces off huge, red mushrooms until he flops on the ground. Bowser’s army of Koopa Troopas, led by Kamek the Magikoopa, face off against the ice kingdom’s legions of blue penguins, seen in the “Mario” games.
