Considering that the Lumas are fated to transform into new planets/galaxies, seeing one that's just embraced the inevitability of its demise is a pretty good in-joke.

One tidbit I like is the reason why Brooklyn suddenly got flood is probably because Bowser smelt all the ice in Penguin land which lead it all leaking to the pipe somewhere.

[Ricardo]

Jack Black is great as bowser. You Either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villian

[DanGamingFan]

Jack Black gave such an incredible performance as Bowser. Equal parts menacing, hilarious, and just a little pathetic. And of course there's his banger song, "Peaches". Seriously, that will live rent free in my head forever.

[thetravenousgamer]

a-Ha's "Take On Me" was the Number 1 song on the Billboard charts when the NES first launched in New York.

When Charles Martinet retired from voice acting, I thought we wouldn’t hear from him again. Now the guy is the ambassador of the whole franchise. He totally deserves it!

[thethundernado]

17:30 everyone’s PTSD. Dread it. Run from it. The Blue Shell arrives all the same.

[FurryStockings]

I like how peach just murders King Bob-Omb, he wasn't even attacking anyone

[abaddonarts]

I remember hearing that instead of 'Take On Me' when traveling to the Monkey kingdom, they had one of the songs from the Donkey Kong games. Illumination decided to use the final song instead, despite the scene apparently having been animated to the beats of the game's music.

[Andrew-qulq]

Nintendo / Illumination wrote a song for Jack Black and asked for his input and his thoughts, and he wrote the Peaches song instead, performed it and sent it back to them and they loved it. So he kind of took it on himself to write the song for it probably without it even being in his contract.
Also, a funny note, in the song he says, "Peach, you're so cool!"
and it reminded me of when Miyamoto introduced the cast of characters for the movie in the Nintendo Direct when he said about Chris Pratt "He's so cool!" I wonder if Miyamoto was referencing the song in a subtle way since it certainly would have been written and most likely done by that point.

[allenholzgrove]

“DO PRINCESSES FIND HIM ATTRACTIVE!?”
“THEY DO IF THEY HAVE GOOD TASTE!”

[ricelad]

"your dads right!" has to be the best line in this movie

[WildWeavile]

I love the idea that Bowser took Ludwig's piano and most likely had him write a wholeass song for Peach, and Ludwig was like "...ok?".

[Depth]

14:02 Rick: That’s just theft… aaaand murder. Manslaughter.
Calvin: They weren’t intending to kill him!
Eric: They don’t follow those laws here.

😂😂😂😂

Sonic, Pokemon, The Last of Us and now Mario, finally after so much time we live in an era where adaptations of video games to movies and series in animation or live action work and have quality, how I would like a Metroid movie, F Zero or Kirby

[zeospark]

Yeah from what my mom told me, they used to play Take On Me all the time during the 80s which is why they used it for the DK driving scene lol

[MTKD]

“God i love when that thing says its own name” made me laugh so hard

[alexkramerblogs]

"They do move in herds" made me spit a little bit of dinner in surprise and laughter 😂

[poggersgotabigcodpgabc]

I think the reason they used the real life songs was just to play it safe. I think they wanted to make sure they made a good movie, so they played a lot of things safe including the music. A lot of those songs are ones that have been used over and over. They know they work, so they did it.
