As a video game adaptation, The Super Mario Bros. Movie found a happy medium. It didn’t try to be too serious like Until Dawn, nor did it go too silly like Borderlands. It simply focused on capturing the joy of playing Nintendo’s flagship games, with Illumination’s now-trademark whimsy bringing Mario, Luigi, and Peach to life.
After the first movie’s success, it was clear where the franchise could go next: outer space. The sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, takes things up a notch by adapting parts of the 2007 platformer, Super Mario Galaxy, and with this new setting and source material comes a much-anticipated appearance by everyone’s favorite green dinosaur. Check out our first look at Yoshi below.
