Mario and Luigi are separated when they are dragged into a vortex by a mysterious pipe while working on a particularly challenging task. The mushroom Kingdom is where Mario ends up. It's a stunning place full of Toads—humanoids that resemble mushrooms—and is controlled by the kind Princess Peach, played by Anya Taylor-Joy, who gives Peach the right amount of grace and spunk. The lush landscape of The mushroom Kingdom is bathed in lighting that is so lifelike it is almost photographic, dazzlingly emphasizing the vibrant character designs. Horvath and Jelenic appear to have taken seriously the responsibility of maintaining the iconic nature of the locales while raising the bar for the cinematic canvas, much like the plumbers themselves.
The other locations, such as, but not limited to, the untamed jungles of the Kong Kingdom, the blazing rock of Bowser's floating castle, and the icy Ice Kingdom, fair just as well. Furthermore, none of the settings' "video game-yness" is sacrificed for purported realism. Obstacles and power-up blocks are everywhere! There are a wide variety of bizarre species living on wealthy planets. As the evil Bowser, who kidnaps Luigi and sets his eyes on the mushroom Kingdom in order to beg for Peach's hand in marriage, Jack Black is obviously having the time of his life. It's a tremendous treat to hear Seth Rogen and Fred Armisen as Donkey and Cranky Kong, respectively, steal a variety of moments. Keegan Michael-Key is pitch-perfect as firecracker sidekick Toad.
With a running duration of 93 minutes, that pace can frequently feel stifling since it leaves less time for characters who have enough depth to merit those moments to breathe. Prioritizing action is a good thing when the action scenes are executed this skillfully. The Super Mario Bros. movie captures the momentum and the on-the-spot obstacle avoidance of the Nintendo games in such sequences as Mario and Peach training on a makeshift course, a show-stopping fight with Donkey Kong, and a climatic Kart Race that cleverly plays with gravity. It also features some of the most exhilarating action set pieces since The Adventures of Tintin and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

There are numerous subtle easter eggs that act as mini-movies in and of themselves in the Super Mario Bros. movie, demonstrating that it was created by people who genuinely appreciate and understand the ongoing popularity of the video games. The Super Mario Bros. movie isn't just a nostalgia trip, either. The reimagined version of the famous plumber for the big screen is a proud celebration of the character's appeal. The Super Mario Bros. movie elevates the video game adaptation with stunning visuals, a voice cast that is incredibly amusing, and an adventurous spirit.
