The Super Mario Bros Movie sequel in the works

[CyberCubed]

Good thing Luigi seems to be with Mario for this whole movie, unlike the first where he was captured till the very end. Also Donkey Kong is nowhere to be seen, so they deported him and he'll probably get his rumored spinoff movie.

Toad seems very jealous that Yoshi is Mario and Luigi's new sidekick. This could be a reference to him been replaced in the Super Mario World TV series. Many believed Yoshi was Toad's replacement, but the caveman Oogtar also was.

We also see Luigi saying he's not scared anymore, this could be a reference to Mario is Missing PC version where he says "I'm not scared" when he enters Bowser's castle.

[Mayhem]

Or the Luigi's Mansion games.

Since DK isn't in the movie I suspect the Donkey Kong spinoff movie will be confirmed soon. I do hope they adapt Bananza with child Pauline for the first DK movie.

Remember when Detective Pikachu was a thing, and people thought we'd get live-action Pokemon movies regularly?

[sdp]

The giga leak confirmed they were working on the sequel called Great Detective Pikachu it even had a logo. Who knows how far along that went. IIRC the a tor said at one point it was no longer happening but a year later said it was still being worked on.

Detective Pikachu 2 came out I think 3 years ago on the switch and no one bought it. It looked like a 3DS game upscaled but it finished the story which was actually a cliffhanger in the original game. The movie did finish the story but could've still adapted the story bits from 2.

With that said I do think The Pokemon Company is going to want to release a new movie in the next few years. Now that no one cares about the Pokemon anime or Pokemon anime movies, it's time for a new live action Pokemon film

Yoshi turned Kamek Koopa into an egg. LOL.

I'm crazy stoked for this sequel. First one wasn't perfect, but a lot of fun, & I imagine they've learned from their mistakes. The absolute love letter this seems to be for old school fans, mannn, they've got me. So many obscure characters from the NES/SNES era, like Mouser, Ninji, Chargin' Chuck, & clearly some beats from Yoshi's Island are gonna play out, too, I feel spoiled. I'm not a Bowser Jr fan so I could do without his inclusion, but so long as they don't ruin any key moments with licensed pop music, it's fine.

I have always hated they retconned that the koopalings were Bowser's children.

[CyberCubed]

It's weird how every new trailer makes this look less and less like a Galaxy movie. Rosalina is also hardly in any of the trailers, which makes me worried she's going to have a very small role. I hope they're just hiding her.

Wasn't that a in-translation-only thing though? Like Dr. Eggman being named Robotnik?

[Xav]

No the Japanese manuals called them Bowsers children.

I liked the first movie, but wasn’t too keen on Peach. Would’ve liked her better if she’d grown into the cool type who can fight or whatever, like how she was kinda portrayed in Mario RPG or how she had a balance, like in the old Mario cartoons. The way Peach was portrayed, was more Daisy like…and I’ve always liked her better and favor her. Wish some medium would do something worthwhile with her. Had a good opportunity to have her in Luigi’s Mansion 3.

Either way, I’ll still be checking out this movie since Luigi will be around. Luigi is one of my favorite Nintendo characters.

I hated this too.

This was my biggest turn off from the movie, I think I remember reading that Illumination was the one that said it's what audiences liked. And also IIRC the soundtrack of the movie has music for the scenes that had the pop music and it's basically just appropriate music from the games so it's a real shame.

Well I feel it's going to be a tour of different games, the Galaxy portion of the movie will be one act, likely the one near the end. The others will be acts based on other games, so it won't be an entire movie based off the Galaxy games. The first act will likely be about Yoshi so Yoshi's Island, then likely Mario Wonder arc where you'll see the talking flowers, the SMB2 act where they are in the casino and then the final act being the Galaxy games.

If you think about it the original movie was similar, you had an act based on the Donkey Kong Arcade, an act based off classic SMB/NSMB, an act based off Mario Kart and an act based on Odyssey (The whole wedding thing).

I'm ok with this change. Bowser Jr has more of a personality and when used correctly by Nintendo he's very memorable though that's not always the case.

I also hated the retcon when Mario Sunshine came out since it felt like they were forgetting history but they have since brought them back many times and well they're not very entertaining, they feel like random sub bosses and even lack the aura of Bowser Jr.

When did Koopa become Bowser? I first watched the SMB3 cartoon as a kid on VHS in the N64 era and was shocked he was called King Koopa.

That is an odd one. According to an english language manual from 1985, he's "Bowser, King of the Koopa". So according to that, he's named Bowser and the king of Koopa, so it's pretty odd that the show called him King Koopa. The character's name is Koopa in Japanese though, so it mostly just seems to raise questions about the show didn't follow that change.

Retconned them into being his children or retconned into not being his children? As far as I've ever known or heard they ARE his children. No?

I'm a little fuzzy on this but I definitely don't remember even hearing the name "Bowser" until around SMB3. As kids he was only ever referred to as "King Koopa" that I can recall. When "Bowser" started getting traction later on, my mental math was, "His name is Bowser, King of the Koopas, AKA King Koopa."

The Koopalings were said to be Bowser's kids through Super Mario World but they dropped it since. Then Bowser Jr. debuted in Sunshine and they only called Jr. his son. Even when the Koopalings came back in New Super Mario Bros and later games, they were never referred to as his children anymore.

I never took it that way. Like, they're all his kids but obviously Bowser, Jr. is the one taking after him the most and probably the one he's the most proud of.

Speaking of the Koopa Kids... if Bowser is the father, then...
