2023 sees the release of The Super Mario Bros movie which will see Mario, Luigi, Peach, and their constant enemy Bowser/King Koopa return to cinema screens worldwide for the first time in 30 years.

As the last attempt to bring everyone’s favourite gaming plumber and his world to the cinema screen with 1993’s live action, Super Mario Bros, starring Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, Samantha Mathis, and Dennis Hopper infamously became a commercial and critical disappointment upon release.

However, in contrast to that film’s distinctly dark and grungy industrial aesthetic, which marked a vast departure from the bright and colourful world of the Mushroom Kingdom that Mario fans knew and loved both before and following that movie. This latest attempt at bringing Mario to the big screen looks set to be exactly what fans have always wanted to see in a Super Mario movie.
